Family Pictures

 

Fare well

So sad- We were taking some picture ofus hanging out and playing at the house and then somethine stranged happened. Our camera stoped working. It just said error #E54 or some thing like that. We really have no idea how that happened but it did. So Jason called the company but to no help-the camera is to old and they do not support it anymore, so no help there. Oh so sad. So we are out of a camera for a little while. Thankfully my sister Carrie said we could use one of her camera until we can save up to buy a new one. (thanks!)

It is always very interesting to much how we take advantage of so many things in our lives. We honestly do. It is not until we can not use them that we realize how important they are to us. I mean even an Ink cartridge! seriously it is not one of those things that are on your must have list but when it runs out it sure jumps to the top supper fast. Having to run to the school to print things of just sometimes is not worth it. and I think that has a lot to do with taking advantage of things.

Just Flying Around

Hailey thinks it is so fun to fly around!

We got our Christmas tree up and all beautified. You should go look at Jessica's Blog, She has pictures of us cutting down the trees. But it was so much fun. My arm hurts from carring Hailey almost the whole time. She didn't want to ride it the sled-well work on that- but We saw 4 moose- really close- like not even 50 yards a way. There were so pretty. It was so much fun to go with our friends. We love this tradition. Hopefull where ever we end up we can keep this tradition (although this tree was really sappy so maybe a fake tree would not be that bad) But going to in the freezing cold sure it worht it!

Play Ground

On our way home from Thanksgiving we stoped in Greenriver for a little lunch break and to get gas in the car. We stoped at the Playground. It was crazy. designed for 5-12 years.

It had a slide, huge rope, rock climbing wall, monkey bars, and a hammock. It was really fun.

So Nicole, Jason, and I all climber up and round it. Hailey was a little afraid of it,  but can you blame her, nothing there to really support her.

Sewing

So these are a pair of P.J. I made for Hailey in my class. I have really been enjoying sewing. I just keep thinking of projects I would love to do and sew. I just need to get a sewing machine sometime in my life and remeber to not buy the fabric until I do. Otherwise I will have a closet full of close and not much money lol.

It really has been fun. we just finished making a blessing dress and right now I'm making a really cute fall coat for Hailey! I am really excited about it. of course it won't be perfect but it will be supper cute and I can't wait to have it finished so I can show you all the coat.

Andrews Birthday

Our little nefew turned one. So I made a little soccer ball cake and this soccer field one for the adults. I thought I had taken pictures of the soccer ball, but I guess not- it looked pretty cool.

Well...

May 24, 2010

So I would like to let you all know that I am pregnant! We are so excited. I will be finishing school in April, which is just perfect timing! Hailey will be 2 years and 2 months when this new little baby is born! We can't wait to find out what where having.

Little Late...

Hailey was a little Banana for Halloween. It was a ton of fun a lady in my ward(thanks Jen) helped me make the banana. She was so cute in it. It took a week to convince here that it would be fun to wear, but we finally got it on her. She was not a big fan of the hood, which you can't blame her for.

We were going to be a jungle family. Jason was going to be a gorilla and I was going to be a safari girl or a zoo keeper. not sure which on, but we did not really have anything to wear them to, so our customs kind of got dropped.  But Hailey looked oh so good in her banana.

TENT!

Hailey loves tents. She asks for them like every day. I'll have to get a picture of the one of her playing in her room with the tent over her bed that she asked for before she went to bed. But she will bring out blankets and just say "Tent, Tent, Tent, Ten... until we agree! Then try to help by grabbing the chairs(well try to grab the chairs).

But it is fun to get in there and play with her. And now just to think, I have no idea when the last time was that i built a tent for myself to play in when i was younger. Can you? I can picture some of them, but I don't know when. Childhood sure goes by fast!

Back to school!

So Jason and I started school again. We are both going full time and Jason is working at Uptown Bagel CAfe again this semester. So we are some busy people. But We are both enjoying our classes. Hailey is being a tropper letting me take her to babysitter after babysitter. And thank you for all of you who open your houses up to her. I would not be able to do it with out you! But I think we are going to be able to survive these busy scheduels! I love being in school and learning but boy will it feel better to know that it is done!

What our typical day looks like:

We wake up at 5 a.m. Jason warms up the car for me and then i go to the gym. When i get home at 6 we eat breakfast and then shortly after Jason heads to school. Hailey wakes up at 7. Then pending on the day either 7:15 or 8:30 I take Hailey over to the babysitters. Go to class until 10and then i go get Hailey. We either eat or play and then Hailey sleeps from 11-1. Then on MWF Hailey goes over to another babysitter from 2-4:45 except for Friday its just 2-3. And then we play and have dinner as a family and put Hailey to bed at 7. Jason and i do homework tell we go to bed and then it starts all over again.

Birthday Cake

So Whitney let me make Bailee's Birthday cake for her. It was so much fun to make. I really enjoy making them.I just need to get better.

I took the idea from that magazine that you can see.

Thanks Whitney!

Still fits!

So exciting(after 3 years), I think! We stayed at my parents house for the weekend before we came back up here to Rexburg. I saw my dress haning in the closet and I just couldn't resit trying it on. Thankfully it still fit. I would have been a little depressed (but then again i have had a kid) But it was fun to walk around in the house for a little bit. The fun part for me was it still felt just as speciall in it that day as it did before i got married. I think Wedding dresses just represent something more then just a dress.

Red Rock

We went for a drive and came to explore the Red Rock amphitheater. It was pretty amazing.  This is where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir came and sang in Denver.

We went but unfortunately we came on the wrong evening. There was a "rock" concert going on so we couldn't just walk around.  But it was still fun to go up there and drive around.

The Denver Musem of Nature and Sceince

This was such a fun adventure. I went with a friend of mine- Bree and her son. this place was huge. So much to see and Hailey loved the animals. 

 

 This was a guy dressed in black walking in and out of the building "eating" the children. It was fun to watch. I wanted to put Hailey under him but i just really don;t think she would have liked it too much.

In one section it had a bunch of these sculptures. They are made out of all the precious stones.

There was these cool dinosaur out side near the parking garage. Kind of random but yet to so cool. It reminded me just now that i forget to tell you that we also went to the Botanic Gardens.

 They were so beautiful. They had like 20 or something visiting dinosours throughout the park. So you had to go wondering around to find them and also learn about the plants that they ate. It was a wonderful adventure. We just kept thinking about our friends and how much their children would loves this and how we wish we could share this with them.

Denver Living

This is our living room. A bench and a table with one chair. Pretty cozy.

Looking out that back window we were able to see our back yard the alley where people would dumpster dive. crazy.

To the side of the living room there was two rooms. One one each side. Jason and I slept on the right side.

The only we place we could stand full height was in the center of the room.  The ceilings were vaulted right around tree feet.

Hailey's room was right across from ours. Her ceiling ctarted from the floor. Good thing she is short. But the sad thing was was that she still ran into the wall.

 

Her door drove me crazy everytime we closed it to tight it would sprinkle down sheetrock. And there was a couple of times that Hailey and i almost got stuck in her room. She would shut her door it would get stuck! when we first got there the door knobs keep coming apart. But after the first time we got stuck and i had to gimmy the door open we went and got that fixed.  But it still happened but the second time I pulled the frame a little a way from the wall...fixed.

 

The stairs. As soon as we got there and all of our stuff in we went to the store to get a baby gate.

The kitchen really was not too bad. no dishwasher or disposal and the freezer didn't work, But it was a gas stove, roomy, and there was a great window to look out while cooking.

 

Here is our wonderful bathroom. 

We had to kneel down to shower. It was pretty fuuny.

.So thats where we lived. It was fun but we are both glad it only lasted 6 weeks. We are sure glad that we are back!
