Just playing

We had so much fun and took full advantage of the beautiful weather. We played basketball, my mom took Hailey for a couple of walks. We came out to the field( back-back yard ) to my parents house and played croquet it was so fun. We tried to get a picture of Hailey doing it but I was able to- I think my mom did on her camera I'll have to see if she did and get it. It was so funny.

She sure did love having so much attention and free space to roam with out having to be herded to get back here or there.

Just a couple of picture of Jason and Hailey playing together!

Spring Break

So for the break we headed down to Cheyenne, Wyoming so we could spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Whitehead. It was so fun to go down and be with them for a couple of days. The drive there for me was not the most fun. I could have just stayed in Rock Springs (3 hours a way) then to continue to drive. But we made it and it only took me a day to recuperate. And totally worth it. We just had so much fun spending time doing fun random things. One of the days we were there we went to the park...

and fed some geese and duck-just as friendly as the ones here in Rexburg...

And then we went to story time at the Library. It was so fun. Cathy is a really good family friend and we had so much fun with her. Hailey did great and loved it.

She did some really fun activities and the stories were great. And then the learning area on the children floor is so fun. Hailey really could just stay there all day.

Girly Girl

Hailey is such a girl and we love it! She found these curlers under the sink and asked for me to put them in. So we put in a couple in her hair and of course we also had to put some in mine to. So we were just playing around and then Hailey went to her room and started to read the books we checked out from the library to her puppies.

She loves brushing her teeth. If we would let her I'm sure some days she would brush them ever time we would go into the bathroom. We use mint tooth paste and she has some berry tooth paste and occasionally she asks for both kinds on it at one time-yuck-but she likes it.

Thank You

I just wanted to express my gratitude to all of those who made graduation possible. It was not until about a month ago that i realized that Hailey has been excepted into so many of your homes so I could go to class. and many of you for numerous hours a week. There would have been no way for me to have gotten this far without each of you. Hailey really enjoyed coming over to your houses. Those who have moved she still remembers and asks where you are. So i tell her that you have moved and we look up up on your blog to see how you are doing.

But truly THANK YOU we are so grateful for you service and taking such good care of our daughter.

Celebrating

We had a little party for her on Saturday too. We had some friends over for pizza, cake, and ice cream. while we were getting ready for them to come over- we were having some fun...


I just don't know who looks better?

OR

So I did not have too much time do to school projects to make a supper cute cake for a Hailey but still had time to make her what she wanted-asked for- a fun fetti Dalmatian puppy cake. So that was fun. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 HAILEY

So Hailey is officially 2 as of Friday. It was so fun. We decorated the house so when she woke up it would be all pink! We had a good normal day. Hailey was loving the balloons!

It was so fun to spend her birthday with her Grandparents. She had so much fun with the. Grandma made some cupcakes and Hailey loved having us sing to her and to blowing the candles out!

Pretty sure this was her favorite gift-the sunglasses. She also got some books and a great busy bag and a swimming pool! We plan on using that one a lot this summer!

Oh Sunshine!

Oh how I have missed the sun.Welcome Welcome. I only had one class today and was not feeling the best (luckily the worst pregnant days far--which really is not that bad at all compared to some) and I knew that if we stayed inside movies would be going and that just not was not an option to me. So we headed out side around 2. Hailey loved it and so did I! It was so fun to see everyone(almost) outside. We stayed out side for 3hours just playing. It was so nice and peaceful. And I can still feel the sun on my face. I never would have thought that i would get my first sunburn today. It is a slight pink but it just feels good to know that i got some sun. Which means we need to be careful  so Hailey does not get sunburned. 

 

SUNSHINE!!!

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!
