Beach Vacation

We went to Seaside Heights in NJ the first week of August. My parents, Heather, David and family were all there. It was extremely hot and humid but it was fun. Aaron didn't like the water until the 3rd day we were there but he really enjoyed the sand and chasing the birds. It was very interesting to see how different each of the beaches in the area were. Some were much calmer- less sand in your bathing suit- and some were warmer. At 5 months pregnant, I was only comfortable in the water or in the air condiitoning! This baby makes me hot just like Aaron did, although Aaron was a quiet baby and this one does nothing but move!! We think we might go back next year. It will be interesting because the new baby will be about 9-10 months but Hannah was only 4 months and she did fine.

Ultrasound

June 29, 2006 Mom came up and went with us to the ultrasound. We are not finding out the sex of the baby- we like the surprise! The baby looks fine and doesn't stop moving. The technician did a 3D ultrasound also but the baby was too small to see much plus the placenta was in the way. Aaron thought the heartbeat was cool- otherwise he could care less!

Memorial Day 2006


We went to Heather & Zeb's for Memorial Day. It was also their first anniversary. Here is a picture of the whole Hale family up to this point.

First baby appointment

April 24, 2006 Our first baby appointment and the whole family went! Well, I mean Wilmer and Aaron not extended family. Things look fine and I am getting an ultrasound to make sure the due date of Nov 30 is correct.

New Addition

March 31, 2006 We found out that we are going to have an addition to our family in November. We are excited about that although I hope it's not born on the holiday. I don't care whether it is a boy or girl but I think Wilmer would like a little girl! =)

Aaron's First Birthday

Aaron loved his birthday. At first he was hesitant to touch the cake and get dirty but Mommy showed him what to do and then he went to town! He had quite a few people come over for his birthday- Puglieses + Joellen, Grandma Burrows, Uncle Marvin, Aunt Amy + family, Grandpa Caballero + family, Grandma Caballero, Aunt Deisy. The Hale side could not make it for the occasion but we took many videos and pictures. He had fun with all the kids but he was ready for it to be over when it was time.

Christmas 2005

Aaron's first Christmas! He loved every minute especially after he finally learned how to rip the paper. He didn't care about any of the presents just ripping the paper. Of course, he wanted the toy after everything was cleaned up and put away. We had Christmas at home then again at my parents' house in PA. We bought a fake tree this year because I didn't want to deal with the real thing- needles, sap- as well as keeping him away. But he was very good about not grabbing the tree.

Seabreeze

Aaron's first trip to Seabreeze- amusement park. Here we are riding on a train. He was good all day but he didn't really like the merry-go-round. Aaron is 6 1/2 months old.

Cousin Emily and Aaron

Emily Hale is 11 months and 2 weeks older than Aaron. Hopefully they will get along great as they get older! This picture is taken at Heather's house. Aaron is 4 months old and a great baby. He sleeps well and is not whiny. People say that is God's way of making you want more kids then you get the bad ones! I hope not!

Aaron Casey

February 15, 2005 at 5:43 pm Aaron Casey Caballero was added to our family. He really takes after his paternal grandfather's side of the family. He was 7 lbs 14 ozs and 20 inches long. He didn't give his mommy a hard time and I am very thankful! The hardest part was waiting for my mom to get here from PA because I wanted her to be there. I could have had him 2 hours sooner! Wilmer was very sick and didn't have much energy although he was there the whole time with me. Grandma Burrows, Dad, Mom, Wilmer, and Stacey were all in the room with me for the birth. I went in around 10am with very mild contractions. We were expecting to come back home but I was already halfway dilated. So, everything moved very quickly and I spent most of my time in the jacuzi. The jets really helped with my back pain. That is the only pain I really remember because I couldn't ease it and someone had to keep a lot of pressure on it for me. We are very proud of our first son and completely amazed at the miracle God has given us.

Wilmer & Rachel

Wilmer and Rachel- this is where our family started. This picture was taken as our engagement photo in 2002 in Rochester NY. We were married Sept 21 at our church- Anchor Christian Church.

Don't know what I am doing

Ok, I finally have caught up with the times and have a blog- but what do I do? I will figure it out and then everyone can know what is going on in our lives...
