Potty Trained

So Hailey has been out of diapers for a month now. It has been great. There were two weeks before Logan was born that we did not have to change any diapers. It was bliss! And now we still only have to change one kids diaper-we can handle that. Hailey has been doing really good. She only has a wet night every now and then and those are the nights that we are busy--out and about and let her drink a ton right before bed. Other then that she has dry nights. During the day she does pretty good. There are some days that she will get distracted and not make it-or if she is throwing a fit sometimes she has an accident. But I would say that over all she does amazing and is great and stays clean and dry!

Name Picture

Not sure if you remember but my mom does name pictures for us. So When she was here she made Logan's and redid Hailey's. they look so good in their room!

Logan's is of Book of Mormon stories

Hailey's is President Hickley's "B's"

Thank you mom, we love them!

Hair

When we was first born

nap hair

Spiky hair

missionary hair

just cute sleeping picture with slightly parted

towel hair

It is so fun to have babies with hair. I have done a lot more hair dues but i have not taken any pictures. So I will have to get those another time. But thought I would share some now with you.

Once learned

So once Hailey learns that there is a play place-or a certain treat- or a certain object there is no return. She has learned that there is a play place at this mall so now once we get there that is all she asks for. When we got to Albertsons she knows that 1-she can ride in the car-karts 2-the black karts 3-that she gets a sticker when we get to the cashier (if left on her skin too long she will get a rash) 4- when Dad is there she generally can get a cookie. Wal-Mart she knows she gets to sit in the big basket and gets to clean the kart with the wipes. When we go to the Bank she gets a dumb-dumb (pink of course) and when we go to Broulims she will get smarties from the cashier. And now that she knows these it is so very hard to make it out of there without it.

??? What are you???

So up by the upper playing fields or behind the movie theater there are these animals that are so big. I think they are prairie dogs-not sure cause i have never seen such a large ones but there huge!

They chirp like a prairie dog would, they're not very friendly-which I did not mind. I felt like they could come up and eat me. I know that they are really not that big, but a for a rodent that is too big.

There were some smaller( baby ones) There are pretty cute.

Logan Jason Marcum

Here are some quick pictures from yesterday.  I will fill you all in a little more another time, but both kids are asleep so I am going to sleep!

But we are all doing really well.

Update

So just got done with the doctors and thought I would let you know what is going on. My body has made little progress (i mean from like 1 to 1.5 in a week-not much) So I went and had a stress test done today and every thing is looking great so I will be checking myself into the Hospital on Wednesday Morning to be Induced. So my mom will come here on Tuesday so she can take care of Hailey when we go in early Wednesday (7:30) We are so excited to hold little Logan!!! I will be 42 weeks and 3 days along on Wednesday. Hailey was 13 days late as well. They just really like to come late- but that is okay.

What a fun Day!

First off, happy memorial Day. I hope every one had a chance to spend time with their family and remember the loved ones and those who have fought for what we have today. We truly are indebted to them. I am thankful for all of those who fought for this country and the freedoms that they fought for.

We had a wonderful day. Started out of course nice and early because Hailey is a very faithful alarm clock that for some reason you just can not hit the snooze button past 7. We had a wonderful breakfast-strawberries, toast and omelets. yum yum. And then we headed out to the golf course and helped Jason hit a bucket of balls. Hailey had so much fun!

Hailey tried to help carry the balls. At first the basket was a little to heavy for her task-hence the face.

But then once Jason took out half the balls and put them in his she enjoyed caring them to the driving range.

We all took turns hitting the ball. Hailey's first gold lesson.

Yep, 41 weeks pregnant and even i tried to hit the ball. I had maybe two nice shoots out of like twenty but it sure was fun.

And of course the pro... I do not know if we told you but he is on the gold team up here. So he has golf practice twice a week and then a tournament every Friday. He really does love it--so much that he can not stop thinking about when he gets home and has a hard time sleeping the nights he goes because he just keeps thinking- it is really cute.

Hailey being a good little ball girl. She would throw us a ball when we needed one.

Hailey not wanting to give up the club/playing trying to take it away from Jason-she thinks she is so funny. It was pretty cute.

Hailey taking a drink out of Jason's water bottle. She just loves his water bottles any time she can get a hold of them she wants them.

Play time-two year olds...

Helping bring the baskets back up to the ball machine. She really wanted to ride in a golf cart. Some time we will have to go to the smaller golf course on a really slow morning and take her out. She just wanted to stay all day.

Well after we went golfing we came home played out side, took a nap, did some home work, and then Hailey and I went o run some errand. While we were out I remembered that we should go to the cemetery and visit my Great Grandma's grave. So we went and got some flowers and went out to the Rexburg cemetery.

Hailey wanted to carry the flowers.

Luckily I remembered were they were. It had been 2 years since we have been back-shame on us- we are only 5 minutes away.

This is my Great Grandma's grave. There are still plots here for family so when it is my grandparents time they will also be laid here with her.

this grave stone is one of my Uncles. I'm not sure if it is a great Uncle or if you say Uncle once removed. But it is my mothers brothers grave. We put flowers next to his too. He has a little lamb on the top. He never reached the age of one.

I tried to get Hailey to sit next to the grave stone, this is the best should would do. I hope Great grandma sees it as her wanting to sit on her lap and not disrespectful. She had fun out there.

Then we came home and had a BBQ with our neighbors, which was fun until it rained-so sad beautiful all day and then when we want to eat it rains. But yum yum the food was great. So we had a wonderful day- and we hope yours was too!

Update

Well Logan is very content and my body is in no rush to get him out either- So we are going to wait another week. Crazy yes, but i am in no real discomfort, just tired of being pregnant, so here we go waiting another week! My next apt is Thursday and i'm pretty sure i'll see my doctor there....

Hanging Out

Hailey has been having so much fun since we have taken the plastic of our back door, so she can run in and out. It is really nice to have so she can be playing out there while i get some stuff done like cooking dinner and she does really good and staying close and coming to check back in with me. It really is wonderful.

One of Hailey's favorite games to play in twister. Of course she does not quit get the way your really supposed to play it but she has fun spinning the board and then doing what it says- or just laying around on it guess the colors she is laying on. But it sure is fun to bring out and play working on left and rights with the colors.

Curlers... need i say more. She loves them. She thinks it is so fun to bring them all out and put them in her hair. I just need to get her to be in the mood to do it when her hair is wet and ready to be curled.

So lately Hailey's nap schedule has been off a little bit...she has not been wanting to take naps so she has been falling asleep all over the house. Which is such a rare thing- she never has really ever done this so it has been fun for me to be able  to sit down with her and have her fall asleep on me or to leave the room and next thing i know she is a sleep. But i have a video of her right before she feel a sleep her but loading it is not working so i will have to figure out a way. But it was so funny because she was falling asleep while she was eating cheerios and then finally decided it would be best to go lay on the floor. I'll try to get that video posted but it was jsut so funny!

Anyways that is pretty much what we have been up too, with a lot of waiting. We are ready for Logan to come, but he just must really like my belly--although he might just be waiting for Rexburg to deiced if it is summer yet and he will come when it is done snowing...

Well...

My due date has come and gone now and still no baby Logan to play with...

So the question--Can you blow up a balloon inside out? Will it last as long?

The Importance

So today i really realized why Saturday cleaning is so important in my life. When i sat down for lunch i just started looking around. The house looked like a tornado hit and it hit hard. last week it was a fraction of this and it was all because of Saturday chores. This Last Saturday we skipped and i took a nap and we went to Idaho Falls for a pick nick/ walk and  then went and spent time with Jason's family. So no chores got done-what so ever

Reason's why Saturday cleaning (morning!!!!) is so important to me-
1. Its a good way to start the day after a wonderful waffle breakfast.
2. You can really enjoy the day better after you have worked hard to clean the house
3. If you clean every Saturday you only have to clean up a weeks mess/dirt.
4. You do not have to scrub as hard
5. The trash never starts to over flow--or smell (especially Hailey's garbage can)
6. It is easier to keep the house clean the rest of the week!
7. The whole house is clean at one time (oh...the bliss of walking from room to room and everything is spotless).
8. Best one of all- Sunday is so amazingly relaxing, spiritual, clean, refreshing, and just all around a better day.


Those are all the reason i can think of right now, but i think number 8 makes it all worth it (and number 6) but mainly 8. So i really do not ever want to skip Saturday cleaning again!

Good morning?!?

This is what we woke up to yesterday May 6, 2010- Ridiculous I say Ridiculous!! it is supposed to be spring.

Interesting

The Other night Jason was looking for something in the kitchen- he wanted a drink but didn't know what to drink. I was in a funny mood so I was like her have a combo of orange juice, pickle juice and lemon juice...yum yum. Right. Well when you combine these juices you create these faces.

and this one

I did not think i was going to be able to keep it down, but i did. Most drinks combine in flavor so you get one flavor, but not with these three. While you where drinking it you would get small tastes of each individually over and over while you drank it. Would i do it again-- no-- but it sure was fun to try. It satisfied Jason's wanting of a drink.
