Hannah Montana

Hailey: Mom, did Hannah Montana come from Heavenly Father?
Me: Ummm, yeah.
Hailey: YES, I have the best idea! I just have to tell Dad the Hannah Montana come from Heavenly Father and then he will like her to huh?

That's my girl!

Hailey started to like Hannah Montana when she saw her at the dentist and she found out both of their names start with the letter "H". Bub hates Hannah. Anyway, Hailey thinks it's funny to ask Bub if he like Hannah Montana because he gets mad (pretend). So, now Hailey is sure she will get her Dad to like Hannah and she is so excited!

It is a crazy life!

Here are some updates in our life:

So many changes are about to come our way. What are they you wonder? Well now, that is a good question. Bub is graduating in May (yeah), so he may get a new job or not, he may get into a school or not,we may move or not. One thing is for sure, there is a baby coming whether we are ready or not! We really are so excited for a little one to be in our home but time is just flying. The baby will be here before we know it.

One year ago last month my Dad was diagnosed with cancer. It has been a whole year and he is doing awesome. The doctors are amazed at how well he has responded to treatments. He is such a strong man and yes he is still running. I love you Dad!

Bub is in warm Las Vegas this weekend for an interview and he gets to see his brother and his cute family! We wish we could have tagged along. I am still working and it has been crazy busy lately. Of course just when I am slowing down and bending over is not such an easy thing, is when my job picks up. But hey, I'm thankful for a job and even more thankful that I will be going on maternity leave. Yeah! As for Hailey, the girl has spunk and personality. She just started a tumbling class with Jonas (her cousin) and another friend. And she loves it! We sure love that girl!

During our car ride-
Hailey: Mom, when you have your baby are you going to say ouch?
Me: Ummm, probably.
Hailey: Oh, well I don't want to be there okay.
Me: Sounds good to me! Hailey do know how mommy's baby is going to get out of her belly?
Hailey: Ya, you going to sneeze really hard and it will pop out of your belly button and you will say ouchy.
Me: hmmmm, sounds about right!

Yes, I know this could have been a great teaching experience, but I don't even like to think about it. So, sneezing and having a baby pop out sound great to me!

A Family of 3.5

Spring break in Cache Valley of course comes with 13" of fresh snow, so we decided to take some family pictures. Our last ones with just us three!
Right when the timer went off to take the picture, Bub feel through the snow! It was pretty funny to watch him try and get out of it. The snow was as deep as his waist!

Bub had spring break this week and we got to spend more time with him. It was so nice to have him home around 6 when he got done working instead of midnight.





We ended spring break with a vacation to SLC! A huge trip, I know, but super fun! We stayed over night in SLC and took Hailey to watch Disney on Ice. Then we had lunch with my family, walked the temple grounds, went to a free art class for kids, went swimming , and just enjoyed each others company!
And here is baby number 2! The baby is growing so fast and moving around like crazy. The baby must be a soccer player. Thats what Bub is wishing for!

Animals in the Temple?

We went to the Draper temple open house and it was so pretty. Hailey was able to come with us. She was so excited to go and she told us she thought Coco (our family dog) would want to come. I told her animals cant go inside the temple because they will get it dirty. Anyway, we started on the tour of the temple and made it into the baptismal font. Hailey stopped and said, "What, the animals get frozen when they come inside the temple?" Then Bub tried to tell her that the oxen were made of stone. "Stone, the animals got turned into stone, good thing Coco didn't come huh?" It was pretty funny. I hope she's not scared of the temple. She did love the beautiful lights.

I've never seen anything like that before!

I love Hailey! She says things every day that just make me laugh. Early this morning I was driving in the car with Hailey when she gasped for air and said, "Mom look, Mom look, I see some blue sky. I've never seen anything like that before!" She really was so excited to see a sliver of blue sky behind all the clouds and inversion. Poor girl, it must seem like it has been winter for her whole little life long. She let everyone that day know she saw a blue sky, her cousin, the UPS guy, her dance teacher. It was cute!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

I was Tagged! This is the 6th picture from my 6th folder on my computer. This was the day I graduated from Weber State! Awesome family picture!
Happy Valentines Day everyone! We love you all!

What, a missionary!

Today was a big day! Bruce went into the MTC and soon will be on his way to Monterrey, Mexico.




This was our Spanish party for Bruce! We love you Bruce, you will be a great missionary!

Rock Climbing

I have a great video of Hailey climbing but I am not computer savvy and don't know how to post it. Help?


Rock Climbing must run in the family! My Mom and Bruce came to visit us and we went to a climbing gym. Hailey saw the walls and started climbing right away. I tell ya, that girl has no fear- which completely scares me! We were in the boulder room where the floors feel like gymnastics mats and people climb without a harness. Hailey loved it. She found her favorite route and climbed it probably 18 times until her legs started to shake. She sure slept great that night.

The Shrink Fairy!

Santa brought Hailey a 12 inch Shamu that she just loves. The other day Hailey found a Shamu in her room that is 6 inches long, it is one that I got when I was little. Anyway, Hailey came running out of her room holding my little Shamu and said, "Mom look, my Shamu shrunk!" Of course Bub jumped all over the opportunity to play a little game with Hailey. Bub told Hailey that the Shrink Fairy came by and made Shamu little and she would come back soon and make Shamu big again. So it has been almost a month of this and the game is still going on strong. Today, Shamu was big and Hailey really wanted to bring it to church but it did not fit in her church bag. Soon after I told Hailey she could not bring Shamu, I found her saying a prayer- to the Shrink Fairy!!! So the game has ended, such a sad day for Bub, Hailey really was not that sad because now she has two Shamu's. Hopefully she will not be praying to the Shrink Fairy anymore. :)

Boy or Girl?

Bub, Hailey and I went to the OB/GYN to have an ultrasound done. It was so cool to get to see our baby moving around. Hailey loved to figure out what we were looking at whether it was and arm, leg, or foot. Then we got to the baby's face- and she lost it! Apparently she did not think it looked like a baby's face. It needed a bottle and a Binky! She kept on asking me if I was okay and she let me know she thinks we should get "that" out of my belly now! The next morning, Hailey woke up and said, " I know what's in your belly, it's a spider."

We decided to not find out if we are having a boy or girl! We are excited to be surprised as long as it is not a spider!

Sunny San Diego!

My parents took my family to San Diego for Christmas...and yes it was sunny and a little rainy but tons of fun!!! The resort we were at was right on the beach and when it rained we managed to have lots of fun inside. Bub and Bruce played and played at the free arcade and we stayed hyper.
We told Hailey she could get a stuffed animal after the Shamu show at Sea World and she picked this crooked toothed walrus. It is like her baby, she loves it!
Mission Bay Beach
My favorite temple!

We got to go on a tour of the USS Midway Aircraft carrier. It was amazing! I wanted a picture by this huge statue and yes, Hailey is trying to get in on the action.
Ya, so we found out this beach was unaccessible.
The boys!
It was sunny this day and so this is our best family picture! Like it?
Smile!
