PaRk CIty

So Joe and I took a weekend getaway to Park City this past weekend. It was a much needed break from the daily routine or work and work and work! We were able to stay in the condos right at the base of The Canyons (Thanks Mom and Dad C. for letting us use the timeshare!) On Thursday we skiied with 10 inches of new snow. It was beautiful and so much fun. Friday we just took it easy, swimming, shopping, movies, etc. Saturday we had to come home but we were very excited to see Haiden whom we had left for the first time for more than a few hours. Thanks to my sweet family for taking care of her. Overall, it was a great weekend. The following pictures are of the view of the mountain from the condo, they are a little dark because it was snowing! And of course another picture of Haiden!

She's on the Move!

So again it has been awhile since I updated our blog. It's amazing how fast time flies by these days. I can hardly believe that Haiden is almost 8 months old. Since the last time I posted Haiden has learned how to crawl and with that she has learned how to make a very organized bucket of toys into something that resembles a large hurricane. Her new favorite thing to do is take all the DVD's off the rack and spread them across the floor! Despite her amazing ability to make huge messes we love her to death and are in awe everyday at how cute she is.Haiden has a weird shoe fetish!

We love eating Crackers!

First ride in the grocery cart!

Slacker!

So I have been a total slacker when it comes to blogging lately. The holidays came and went so fast and before I knew it, it was almost the end of January. Since it has been so long I will give you an update on what we have been up to lately.
Haiden is growing so fast. She is almost crawling, She gets up on her hands and knees and then moves backwards. We are still working with her. At her 6th month appointment she had reached 15 lbs and is about 25 inches long.
Over the holidays we were able to spend alot of time with family. Joe's brother and his wife and daughter were here for Christmas. It was fun to spend time with the whole family. Stefanie was nice enough to take some pictures for us.
Other than that, we are just working hard. I love being able to spend everyday at home with Haiden. Working nights is hard but it is so worth it in the long run. Joe gave me a new camera for christmas but I haven't figured out how to upload pictures yet. As soon as I do, I will post some updated photos. I know you are all dying to see some new ones. Until then this is all you get.

SnOw DaY!

Today was Haiden's first snow experience, overall it went well. We had the conversation about not eating yellow snow and gave the clean white snow a try!

The Joys of Motherhood

A few things I have learned since Haiden came along:
-I can now get dressed, do my hair, brush my teeth, and make my bed with one free hand
-I have mastered carrying the carseat and all the groceries up ten steps and into the house all at the same time
-Blogging with a little one on my lap!
-No matter how off tune I am when singing old mcdonald she will still smile
-Sleep is a thing of the past!
-Being a mom is the greatest thing ever and I am so lucky to get to spend so much time at home with Haiden

4 MoNtHs oLd

I can not believe that it has already been four months since Haiden was born. Man time flies. We went to the doctor about a week ago and she now weighs a whopping 13 lbs and is 24 1/2 inches long. We have tried giving her cereal a couple of times, she is not sure what to think of it but we will keep trying. She is just so cute. Joe and I love to just sit and watch her play. She jabbers constantly and is starting to roll over. Plus her giggle is the cutest thing ever. I never could have imagined that being a mom would be so amazing. What a joy and blessing she is in our lives! These pictures are not the best. Everytime I went to snap one, she put her fingers in her mouth!
