SO SO SO SO brhind

seriously i am so behind with blogging... thats what happens when your laptop crashes and then your husband takes apart your pc... oh well i guess, here is a little preview from our family photos.. they got a little pushed back due to my photographer getting pregnant and being super sick but we finally got the done so YEAH!!! can't believe Dallin is 1 and Hadley is almost 5. Where does the time go..

Her Big Day

How has this school year already come to an end??? Hadley has absolutely LOVED school. She had the best teacher Mrs. Lamb and it made all the difference in her wanting to go. there was not one day that she wasn't excited and happy to go to school. She made lots of friends and i have to say they are some of the cutest little girls ever. She has learned so much and she is so excited to go back next year. I love my little smarty pants and am so glad she got her dads brain. I love that she loves to learn and that she is constantly using what she learned at school... Its going to be a long summer till school starts again....

Birthday Boy

Wow I'm behind... I can't believe Dallin is 1... WHERE does the time go. This year has been the  hardest  we've ever had and this sweet little boy has brought us such joy and laughter despite all that's been going on. Ben was gone to Boise on Dallins birthday so we kept it really low key.. we went to lunch at Chick filla with family and then met up with lots of friends and played at the park... Dallin loved his cake, there as nothing left of it when he was done with it. Dallin is such a tender hearted little boy that loves to give hugs and has become such a snuggler.  he loves to be outside and wants to do everything his big sister is doing.. He's still not talking as much as Hadley was but her says

• Ha- Hadley
• mama
• Dada 
• papa
• pup
• hot
• uh oh
• Dallin
• yes

Easter Easter

We had a great Easter this year. Casi moved back from Louisiana just in time to join in on the fun and Lisa and Brent and kids we here to! We started out by meeting up in Layton for some good old Red Robin and then my mom was nice enough to take my kids home so Ben and I could go to SLC and see my friend Carly be sealed to her cutest little boy Jayden. We finished the night off with Easter egg dying with Kool-Aid,, thank you pinterest. Sunday we went to my parents church with all the family then headed over to there house for more food and fun. we had lots of laughs and the kids loved the Easter egg hunt.

 

All the kiddies... Finley has FINALLY got over her fear of uncle Ben..

Dallin only needed his bucket and one egg and her was set 

this little one was so excited she could hardly hold still for a picture

trying to get him to show me his egg

look mom

there's more????

 oh I like this

favorite uncle Jess

 look at all the eggs



The perfect Christmas... almost

Maybe someday we will have the perfect Christmas... i have mixed emotions about this Christmas, in ways it was the best we've ever had and in others it's one I'd like to forget, but i guess in the end all that matters is the kids enjoyed it and they were both spoiled rotten. here are a few pictures, i really struggled with the camera this Christmas and then Ben forgot to bring it up to his mom's Christmas day oh well i guess. this was the first Christmas ever that we woke up in our own beds and had Christmas morning at our house.. oh how i loved that. no loading up all the presents just to unload and then reload again. Christmas afternoon was spent at the Jensen's with all the Jensen's except for Penny.. Little Cannon decided he needed to be here for Christmas so she was at the hospital with my newest nephew. Christmas night was spent at the Roberts and we had lots of yummy food and the kids loved playing with uncle Jess and aunt Kyli. I missed everyone that wasn't there and hope next year we can more family around

Merriest Christmas

Love the Jensens

Thankful for

SO very thankful for these three!!!! I don't know where I'd be with out them

its great to be 4

Where does the time go? I seems like Hadley was just born and here she is turning 4.... we started the day of with birthday pancakes, (tradition calls for blueberry muffins but she declined) so i made her 4 little ones, they were suppose to be colored to go with her rainbow themed birthday but i got lazy. Last year we didn't get her any balloons(i know we're bad parents) and if you asked her about her birthday even if it was 6 months later that's all she remembered, that we didn't get her any balloons.. so this year we got balloons..... lots and lots of them. We had to buy them 1 dozen at the time because of the helium shortage:( really a world wide helium shortage, who knew that could happen.

Family dinner at chuck-a-grandma (that's what she calls it) and a friends birthday made her birthday perfect, she even told me it was a wonderful birthday... love my big girl

 

 all her balloons,, Ben even got her a HUGE orange one... seriously we could have filled another 12 balloons with the helium in that balloon

 Haddy and her papa

 she was so glad her Ramey cousins got to be up for her birthday

 Haddy and Calem are the bestest buds

 birthday party fun... coloring shirts

Halloween has come again... Hadley was so excited to carve pumpkins till it was actually time to do it, she didn't want to get her hands in any of the stuff so she got her spoon and went at it... one seed at a time.. after i carved the eyes and nose she decided that she wanted to draw on the mouth... she's a little crazy that girl of mine...

 

 Halloween day finally came and we were so glad that the weather warmed up. Hadley was the prettiest Snow White ever and loved holding up her dress like the princesses do..

 Dallin wasn't to thrilled with his costume when it was time to go trick or treating but he got over it and had a good old time

 Haddy and her cousin Lily... these two are the bestest friends and never pass up a chance to play together, I'm glad they live so close to each other so they can

 maybe this is why he hated his costume

 He just chilled in the stroller all night, he was a little tired and it showed

6 months

here's both my babies at 6 months... crazy how different but yet how alike!!!

 

love my crazy kids
