Hillabolt Happenings: Finally Back!

I have been so bad about posting since Hannah was born and I miss having these blog posts to look back through, so I am going to TRY to be on top of things again! Hannah is turning 2 in less than 2 months - I can't believe it! These past 2 years have just flown by so fast! I'm usually the person who is party planning 4-5 months out, but I have been in denial apparently about this upcoming birthday and I haven't planned a thing yet! =/

We had a busy June with a family trip to San Diego where we enjoyed the beach, Sea World and having fun with our friend's the James'. Hannah went on her first ferry boat ride to Coronado Island and the adults got to enjoy a night out to the Padres/Diamondbacks game, which was a lot of fun!

Later in the month Hannah & I went to CA to visit family & friends in Napa, then we went up to my parents cabin in Graeagle to enjoy some beautiful scenery & fresh mountain air. My brother and his family came up for a few days as well - we had a great time visiting and Hannah had a fun time running around with her cousins! We also went over to Lake Tahoe for the night to visit more family and had a nice day taking my aunt & uncle's boat out on the lake. We had a great time, but wish that Ryan could have joined us (hopefully next time)!

With a rainy 4th of July this year, we ended up staying home and just had a couple friends over. I can't remember not spending 4th of July in the pool since we've lived in Arizona, but we still had a fun time!

Ryan has been BUSY with overtime at his job, as well as finishing up the last 5 months of school. We are on the countdown for him graduating with his bachelor's this December - I am so proud of him! I've been juggling Miss Hannah full time, as well as working from home (not the easiest task) and I also still run a moms group, so we usually are going to a playdate or something fun a few days a week. We've also been going to a lot of birthday parties for her little friends! Hannah is going to be starting preschool this fall, so that will be exciting for her! She'll be going 2-3 mornings a week....I think she will love learning & meeting new friends (and it will certainly help me get more work done)!

Hannah has been saying so many new words I can't keep track anymore. Her favorite word is definitely "more" and she just started saying Jasper very clearly, so she can now boss him around. ;o) Hannah's been taking swim lessons for about 5 months now and she loves the water! She is currently taking a Soccer Tots class as well, which is kind of comical to watch these little toddlers running around in chaos. She has fun, so that's all that matters! =)

So that's a quick recap of our life right now with a few pictures from the last month. I will try to be much better about posting from now on! =)

Scoring a goal at soccer!
