Daddy-Daughter time

Last Sunday we all had so much fun playing with each other. Hailey asked Jason to put on her tutu and butterfly wings. I just had to get a picture of him in it. unfortunately that was as far as it could go.

Shopping

We were playing in Toy's R us and just looking around and we both turned around and Hailey had this helmet already figured out and thought it was so cool. So we stayed around and played in this section for a while. It was so cute---maybe she'll play softball...I think it is so fun to play the guessing game of what she is going to do as she grows up.

Her thinking it is golf-

Jason trying to show her how a baseball bat should be held and how to hit the ball.

Sorry- no luck this time---THIS is the way to hold it...lol

Ducks

Just last week on that really nice warm day Hailey and I went for our first walk of the year. It was so great to get out and feel the sun. We walked to the nature park to feed the ducks. She really enjoyed seeing them. i have a feeling we will be going a lot this summer ( and we will really enjoy every minute). These ducks those are getting more and more comfortable humans. They get just a little to close and a couple(the geese) are a bit nippy. So We have to kind of shoo them away from us while we are feeding them, but that it what is kind of fun is that they will get so close.

Once we were out of crackers another car pulled up right in time and they all started running over there. The mom was not even able to get he child out before they were over there ready for more. Crazy...

Right after a man and his dog walked by Hailey started running after the dog say "here puppy" it was so cute. The old man was nice enough to see that and stop the dog and let Hailey pet it. She really enjoyed that. Any time she sees a dog now even from the car she wants to go and pet them. She is not fully comfortable around them yet but she sure likes them- Can't wait, only two more years and we can get our own dog!!!

Hailey was soaked by the time she was ready to get back in the stroller. When we got home i was able to pour water out of her boots.

And then it took like 4 days for them to completly dry off so she could wear them again.

Weather

I just wanted to  complain. I wish Rexburg could decide if it was winter or Spring!

Cause this is sure what is seems like. We can all be out playing and enjoying a semi warm day with the snow melting all around us and only having to wear a light jacket. And then it snows all the next day...

Don't forget day light savings tomorrow!

Aspic

So just today in class we worked with aspic. It is a jello giggler but it the max. Gelatin can hold a 7(water)parts to 1(gelatin)part ration. We were working with an 8-1 ratio. and because it was not flavored they were saying it smelled really bad. Luckily i had a stuffy nose so i could not smell it, but it is a lot of fun to work with. Really the only reason you would work with this is for center pieces. You could flavor it, but as we described it- it has the texture of cartilage. So really not something you would want to eat.

So this is a Calli Lilly, It was so fun to work with the colors. I want to do another one before the semester is out. I want to do one on a mirror. They look so amazing. but what is fun and i hope my classmate does not mind but you can peal these of the plates and put them somewhere. So he did the transformer logo and peeled it off and put it up on our window in the class room. crazy. it got a little dis-formed, but you get the idea

 

Class

So i have been having so much fun in my Advanced Presentation class. I made a cake this weekend. I just love playing with fondant. I could totally tell that it has been a long long time since i have used it but it sure is fun. And with the forms that i got for Christmas It makes things so easy and fun- no mess of making a cake. Just decorate.  So It was supper easy and fun. I would love to do this more often.This picture is with the columns. which are supper cool because you can fill them in with what ever you want.

This one is just the simple three layer with out the pillars- another reason why using forms are so much cooler-because you can rebuild-take apart as much as you want.  Great!

Finally-huh-lol

So Please forgive me for not posting in a while. Between multiple things i have not taken the time to update you. I have followed your blogs but just didn't want to take the time to update you-sorry. So here you GO.

First, pregnancy is going well. I am 27 weeks along, not to far from being a mother of two. I have just grown out of my last pair of normal pants(with the button undone) So it is all maternity from here on out. But doctor appointments have been going well everything looks good measurement wise for May 24. There is a slight worry that i might have placenta pervia. that is were part of my placenta is covering the cervix. But there is a 95% chance because it was only a part pervia that is will fix it's self in last bit of the pregnancy. I'll have an ultra sound at 34 weeks to make sure that everything is where it needs to be. So we are not to worried.
  I am in love with desserts. I just can't seem to get enough of them. I am in the mood to cook, but the only thing that sound fun to cook after Hailey goes to bed is desserts, So we have been eating a lot-mainly me. yum yum. Good things i will have the whole summer to work all these treats off. lol. but they are so good. And Easter is coming with the best candy-yikes. I am really going to need to watch what i eat for the next while.

Hailey-
 Hailey is a student at BYU-I toddler lab program. She loves it! She loves going to school with me. I have class during that time so we both get ready and head to school. She is learning so much. He vocabulary is growing everyday! She is starting to speak in sentences( given there only like 3 word sentences) But she has great enunciation. So it is so fun to talk with her and understand her. She notices so much.

 

Hailey loves dancing around the house. two of her new favorite things to do are 1 do run around naked and 2 two put socks on her hands. It is so funny, I dont really get why but she sure likes it. 

 

before the semester started i did some deep cleaning (that's how old some of these pictures are) But while i was cleaning Hailey was playing and she was telling me that her dog needed her diaper changed. So that's fine i don't mind if she plays with the diapers(as long as they are clean) So i left the room to go clean and when i came back into the room this is what i found. What a clean/organized little girl. Not even two and she likes things organized. So proud!

 

Over the Holiday break Hailey had a run in with our coffee table. boy did it leave a mark. It was there for over a week. She talked about it hurting for several days.

  

Now that we have late church-1- Hailey and i can take the time to get all cute. given some Sundays we  just play but this sunday after we got out of the shower i thought it would be fun to put curlers in our hair. It was so cute to see her in them. I half way wanted her to go to church like this, she just needed a dress. But of course that is just not very appropriate. So we took them out. Her Hair looked better then mine.

 

It was just so cute

Hailey got her first tutu and it came with butterfly wings. She really enjoys it. The wings are a little ig so they don't stay on very well but we all like the tutu!

Jason is doing very well this semester in his classes. He is taking requirements for nursing this semester. Then he will be finishing his accounting classes and graduating in July! We will be walking together! all four of us. But he is really enjoying learning everything. He is not working, but what a blessing that has turned out. I hardly see him now and if he had to work-wow I would feel like i was married to a ghost. But maybe next semester he will get a job- we will see what it hold in store for us- same with our future after. We will let you know when we know.

I am loving my classes. I have been busy with them all and loving them. My sewing class has been a blast. Right now we are working on our pillow project. I just finished making my place mats. They are reversible. So Valentines day on one side and St. Patrick's on the other. Pretty cute. I am excited for our other projects coming up. 

My advance presentation class has been a lot of fun. Cooking like crazy which is kinda of why i have been in the mood to cook. I wish i had all my pictures so i could show you. I just have one that still needs to be photo shopped.

I took better pictures on a better background on a different camera that I'll get later. but for this class e have to build a portfolio of our work. So it has been fun trying to create artwork with food. Right now we started working on vegetable and fruit carving. next week well being doing aspic carvings. and then after that we will get to learn Ice carvings. 

So I am learning so much and it has been so fun to be able to take these classes. 

I think that sums up pretty much what is going on with us. I'm sure ill think of more- so ill just have to start posting this more often!

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.
