Like Father Like Son

I haven't had a lot of time to post lately. Now that Liam is, what we like to call "crawl running", I haven't stopped wrangling him from outlets, breakables, and sharp edges. He's finally down for his nap so I at least want to share a few pictures.

I just love this picture. The golf channel must have been on. 

Love. 

Hanley Family Vacation Part I

We recently took our first family vacation to California. We had a wedding to attend so we made a whole week out of it. Since we flew into San Francisco I had two things on my to-do list.
1. Golden Gate Bridge (obviously)
                &
2. See the "Full House" house (silly, but c'mon you wanna see it too. Oh, you don't? Well, anyways.)

Unfortunately we drove by the "Full House" house so quick I couldn't get a good picture, but I promise you aren't missing much. 

The stars must have been perfectly aligned because we were able to catch the U.S. Open in San Francisco before having to drive to Fresno. I would love to share pictures with you but they didn't allow us any cameras or cellphones! Instead I'll just give you the run down. It just so happened to be Father's Day when we planned to be at the U.S. Open, so appropriate! Mikey's face lit up as we entered through the gates, it was like looking at a five year olds face seeing Disney World for the very first time! Loved it.

It was so special to see Mikey and Liam enjoy the U.S. Open together on Father's Day, but I'll admit I was a bit nervous. I had watched golf tournaments on television and was well aware how quiet everyone must be while the golfers Tee off, Putt, etc. I also knew that Tiger Woods is known to have a temper and I could only imagine how he would react to a screaming 6 month old!  It was a questionable decision bringing him along, but I'm glad we did. At one point we were only a few feet away from Tiger as he was putting for birdie. Mikey and I weren't worried because Liam seemed to be in a deep sleep, until Tiger leaned down to read the green. His eyes opened wide and we were sure a scream was to follow, probably the most nervous I've ever been in my life! By the grace of God he was quiet. Matter-of-fact he was the most perfect baby all day!

After the tournament it was off to Monterey/Carmel. Although there was a much quicker route we chose to take Pacific Coast Highway, and I'm so happy we did!

 Gorgeous. 

I didn't want the drive to end. 

Cows! Suddenly I felt right at home.

Wouldn't you love to be these farmers!? 

All of my pics from Monterey and Carmel are on my phone which I have yet to put on my computer so I'll catch you all up on the rest of our vacation later.
