No Big Girl Beds

We've been planing on moving Hadley into a big girl bed for a while now but Ive been a little nervous because she is the CRAZIEST sleeper and after this day I've given up all hope... she ends up in the weirdest positions and i can't imagine this being comfortable... she's so crazy

Green eggs and ham

I've never really been a big fan of St. Patrick's day but i thought Hadley might enjoy making things green and boy was right... we started out with green pancakes and she had to help with every step and she couldn't wait to eat them. We wore green shirts ( and even Ben went and changed so he would get crap from everyone all day) we spent the day eating chocolate gold and green cupcakes... when ever I'd say Happy St. Patrick's day Hadley would yell with her arms above her head YAHOO PATRICK'S DAY... Guess she liked it. Holidays are so much better with kids, even the dumb ones

Sanity Trip

a little while ago we were able to go down to St. George for the weekend. It was a much needed vacation and even though it rained/snowed the whole time we still were able to have a little bit of fun. The trip started off with us heading to SLC so Ben could meet with a company that was interested in hiring him. Then we stopped by his old firm and said hi to everyone, we hadn't seen anyone since we left almost a year ago (CRAZY) and then we continued down the road to St. George. WE had lots of fun eating, drinking WAY to much soda, and watching the girls enjoy playing with each other... i left my camera in my car the first 2 days so i don't have many pictures but the ones we got i love.. Can't wait to go back to see little Mackley:) be born

her new glasses... she loves them
just being silly

Kam had to dress up as a ballerina

Hadley was lovin the purses and wallets

playing ballerina.. they were to funny

Hadley thinks Kam is the best can you tell

so sad that Jena, Derek, Kam, and baby Mackley are moving away so we can't go visit and play

Pretty Pretty Princess

Hadley has gotten lots of princess's dress up stuff between her birthday and Christmas and the girl is OBSESSED... first thing in the morning she wants princess stuff even before clothes and if she's being super crazy she has to have on her princess's jammies from aunt Lisa and her dress ups on,.. Oh how i love her.. She keeps me on my toes

the best cheese face ever

dress ups and jammies, what can be better

her princess purse with all her jewelery

i wouldn't help her change into the next costume so she was mad (note I'm still in my jammies.. )

the ballerina

Cousins

Sunday my bro and sis in law came up to have there little boy Calem's first birthday party,,Poor kids did not feel well and had a rough night.. all he wanted to do was play and just didn't feel up to it. at the end of the night i put Had in the tub and me and Penny thought Calem might like to join her.. They love each other so much, it's the best to watch them together... Calem just laughs and laughs at hadley.. He was so excited to get in the tub (but the happiness lasted only a few minutes) so of course we had to document there fun.. I LOVE these two

she was getting ready to show him her boat,, he laughed so hard

Santa says Ho Ho

So Christmas this year didn't really feel like Christmas until Christmas eve, i don't know why but i really didn't want it to come. This years been different for us and really difficult for me. So i wasn't in the Christmas spirit, so to help me out Ben got us a tree permit so we could cut down our own tree. We have a beautiful 9 foot Pre lit tree but it's to big for our house so Ben thought this would make me feel better about not being able to put it up and it did. We went to cut it down in the middle of a snow storm and after much hiking and many snow filled boots we got ours.. it's pretty cute i think,, kind of a who tree but what can you do when you cut down your own. We spent Christmas eve and morning at my parents with them, Jess, Casi, and Kyli.. it was lots of fun, my dad read us a wonderful story, we got Christmas eve Jammie's (always my favorite), got 7-11 hot chocolate and played games.. Christmas morning came and when Hadley woke up it took her just a minute to say Santa.....Santa Claus and we headed up stairs, Christmas really is better with Kids... we opened lots of presents had yummy breakfast and then headed to Preston from Christmas day with the Jensen's.. More food and more presents and then it was time to give Hadley her Santa gift,,, the elves (Ben) worked on it forever and then brought it up stairs,,, her very own kitchen!!!! she was so excited.. i don't have pictures of her getting it cause my memory card was full but I'll post some of it later.. we had a good Christmas and can't wait for next year!!!!!
