how we love her

Valentine's Day with Pink Piggies...

loves the finger in the nose

half of the CHEESE face

always talking on the phone

My family on Love Day

Valentines day was so nice.. we stayed home and a nice dinner and hung out as a family.. Hadley is so entertaining so why would you need to go out when you can just stay home and watch her... Saturday we got dinner since we couldn't go out Sunday..
Hadley has been changing and growing so fast i can't even handle it.. She's walking and talking like crazy and she's a crazy one... She laughs at herself, she walks around talking on her phone(video to come) and takes care of her baby and my favorite(not really) is her sticking her finger up her nose and leaving it there,,, THANK YOU KAMDYN.... she's started doing this weird little cheese face when the camera comes out and my camera takes forever to take the picture, the pictures we have don't do it justice.. I love my baby girl and i love my hubby.. hope everyone had a great Love Day...

Long Weekend

Hadley and her daddy
Heading to the funeral

dressed up so big

curly hair

We had a very long weekend,, It started before the weekend even started. Ben's grandma passed away Wednesday morning so we headed up there to spend the day with Ben's mom. We went back home that night and then went back up Friday for the Viewing. Saturday was the funeral and it was a sad but happy day. After the funeral we had a good lunch and then hung out with all of Ben's family at his mom's house. His Aunt and Cousin's from Seattle came down and it's always good to visit with them cause we don't see them very often.. Sunday we went to church with my family and then headed up to Richmond to watch the super bowl with Ben's friends, I'm not a big football person but i look forward to this party every year.. I love getting together and hanging out and eating way to much food... It nice to be home and have a little down time..

On a side note Hadley has decided she's done crawling and is now walking all over the place.. she's been working on it for about two weeks but really got the hang of it this weekend.. I guess she just needed an audience to show her skills to to make her realize walking is a good thing..

nothing to blog about..

nothing really has been going on at our house... Which i actually have loved...We haven't traveled anywhere in the last two weeks and that's a miracle... Hadley's been walking like crazy but will only do it when she wants to, she loves to push her baby in her shopping cart all day long.. We're back to the teething unhappy baby i know and not so much love but hopefully it'll be over soon.
Ben hurt his back on Friday and pretty much couldn't move Saturday and Sunday. he's doing better but looks like we'll be heading to his surgeon again sometime soon,, cross your fingers that we don't have to fuse his back this soon...pic's soon i promise.

Hadley Boo Bear

My little Hadley isn't so little anymore and it makes me sad. Every day she does something new and says something new. (thank you Barney). She loves books and loves music, that's what we do all day, sing and read. The girl eats everything and i mean everything. She eats her dinner and then wants whatever we have.. i can't believe she's this big..

some of the things about Hadley right now

• she loves all food except eggs
• she loves to be out side
• she loves music
• she always wants her dad
• she still won't walk unless she's pushing her shopping cart
• her favorite thing to do right now is take the lid from a water bottle and put it on and off

the words she can say:

• hi
• bye
• whats that
• dad
• open
• shut
• elephant (yep thank you Barney)
• all done
• yes
• cup
• yuck
• ouch
• hot
• sock

I know there's more but i can't think of them right now..now if i could get her to say mom and to walk on her own we'd be good...

How i love my Hadley

Merry New Years!!!

Another Year has come and gone,, SO CRAZY!!! It's been the best year, having Hadley in our lives has made everything better.. She's getting so big and i can't wait to see how she changes and what will come this year.. For New Years we were suppose to head down to St. George but due to some,,,, we'll say technical difficulties we ended up staying home New years eve and going to temple square and then out to dinner with all of Ben's family who were all down for New years.. New Years day we drove down to St. George to hang with Jena, Derek, and Kamdyn.. we had lots of fun and it was good to get out and go some where other then Logan,.. lots of food, lots of fun, and LOTS of Glee!!!!!

first time at Temple Square. She was done 5 minutes after we got there
We finally found Daddy and Hadley wouldn't let him go

Ben and Jena got into a little "discussion" about mom's and dad's.. i was peeing my pants

getting HEATED!!! pretty sure some bad words came from Jena.. really.. peeing my pants

we used the curling iron to flip out Hadley's hair. she hated it.... to bad,, with all that hair we have to do something..

I can't believe Christmas has come and gone. Christmas is so much better with kids, even though Hadley doesn't understand whats going on we got a few excited reactions when she saw a few of her presents.... Our Christmas break started out with a visit from Aunt Kyli YEAH!!!! Kyli came down Monday and hung out with us till we went home Christmas Eve. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at my parents and then Christmas day at Ben's mom's... We have the best families and are so lucky to be able to spend time with them... Saturday before heading home i got to go to lunch with friends from High School... So much fun and few of them i haven't seen in forever...I can't wait till next year and now on to New Years!!!! Hope everyone had as great of a Christmas as we did!!!!!!
