Taygen is walking really good. Watch all the way through please.

Christmas pics! READY, SET, GO!!!!!!

On Christmas Eve it's a tradition in my family to open presents. So, we went down to my mom's house to do just that. My brother Brett and his wife Natalie came, and Mikayla, Hannah, and Kylee were there. We had a wonderful time.

Me and my little sister Mikayla. We don't look alike at all.

Me and my little sister Hannah. We don't look alike either.

Me and my littlest sister Kylee. We especially don't look alike. lol.

Me and my wonderful mommy.

Christmas morning at 8:00 a.m. my mom, sister Mikayla, Aaron's mom and dad, and Aaron's sister Delicia came over for present opening and breakfast provided by the cook of our house, Aaron.

Look at that little grin when he sees the pop-up Elmo.

Taygen in his jungle of toys.

This is the piano Aaron made me and my absolute favorite present. He worked so hard for months on this. It is an old 1921 Armstrong piano that was destroyed. Aaron somehow saw potential in it and took every single piece apart and either totally replaced it or fixed it to be new again. The inside literally is brand new. He ordered new ivory keys which did not get here in time for Christmas but are going to be amazing. The original wood is Mahogany, Oak, and Cherry. It is his masterpiece! I love you Aaron and all you do for me.

Every year I buy a nativity but, this year Aaron made me one. This is made out of Manzanita burl and Western Red Cedar Burl.

This is a little bear with a fish in it's mouth made out of Jet Stone that Aaron carved me for Christmas.
Christmas afternoon we went to Aaron's parents house for some brunch and presents.

He is so sneaky and fast going upstairs but, he doesn't know how to go down yet.

Lexi and her holiday Barbie doll.

This is a little electric car thing. I think it's so cute how his face is so fascinated by it.

Christmas Card!

We hope that everyone has had an amazing year like we have. First off, our first child was born this year on March 20th. He is our pride and joy. Everyday I thank him and my Heavenly Father for coming to me from Heaven to be my son. He is an amazing person and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. In September Aaron and I had our 5th year anniversary. Five years and still going strong. We are so lucky to have the relationship we do. We definately have our ups and downs but, when all said and done we love each other with all of our hearts and never want to be apart. Thank you to all our friends and family for being there for us and supporting us through our good and bad times. I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Christmas.
MERRY CHRISTMAS,
Love,
Aaron, Lindsey, and Taygen Haines.

Playdate for Taygen.

Today I went to visit Aarons cousins because one of his cousins, Blake and his family are visiting from Tennessee. Our kids had a lot of fun playing together. 3 of Aarons cousins have babies really close to Taygen's age and Taygen loves playing with them. I am going to miss you Danielle! I had so much fun. I hope we can hang out the day after Christmas before you go home.

This is Me, Taygen, and Aaron's cousins wife Danielle.

I love this picture of Caleb and Taygen walking towards each other.

Cute little Caleb.

From Left to Right. Skyler, Tyson, and Bryson. These are Taygen's second cousins.

From Left to Right. Ashlin, Caleb, and Taygen. Ashlin and Caleb are cousins and they're Taygen's second cousins.

We finally got both of them to face forward, even though they're both not looking at my camera. It's the best I got. lol.

Caleb is like "who is this". lol.

This picture is funny because it looks like Taygen is about to hit Caleb. I don't think he did though. I think he just tried to pull his hair or something.

Don't you love the fohalk?

Taygen's Christmas present.

This is the Christmas present that my dad and his wife Judy sent to Taygen. He absolutely loves it. Thanks.
Taygen had his 9 month wcc today and he weighs 19 lbs. 6 oz. and is 28 inches long. He is in the 25 percentile for weight and 50 percentile for height which is crazy for Taygen because he used to be in the 75 percentile. Now he's actually kind of small for his age.

This is the first time he saw his new present.


Daddy helping Taygen get on his zebra.

Taygen proudly ridin his new zebra.

Look at his shocked face when he realized it lights up. lol.
