Baby Animal Days!

Like most of the children in Cache Valley, Haiden and I attended Baby Animal days last weekend! She had so much fun looking and petting all the animals. Her favorite was being in the goat pen and chasing all the baby goats around. It was difficult trying to get her to understand why we had to stand in line for 30 minutes to see the bunnies but in the end it was worth it. It was a nice warm day and it felt so good to be outside! Here are a few pictures from our day.

Dear Mother Nature-

Dear Mother Nature,
This was a cruel April Fools Joke you played on us.

While I am grateful to have drinking water in the summer, we are running out of things to do inside the house. I have resorted to this: Yes, I decided that since I couldn't go outside and play because it was so cold, I would take all of my mom's dish towels and spread them out in the kitchen. I couldn't think of anything else to do. I had already colored, played with blocks, babies, bears, watched Shrek, taken a nap and eaten. I was out of ideas and let's face it so was my mom. I am ready to go to the park and swing and swim and all the things that you are supposed to be able to do in April. Please be kind to us and give us some warm weather for awhile. I could really use the fresh air and mom could use the exercise!!! Her belly is getting so big these days.
Sincerely,
Haiden
(I wouldn't hold still for the pictures and mom's camera is slow, so I look like I have ghost arms)

As Of Lately.....

So I have been a blog slacker lately but Haiden keeps me pretty busy!! And every time I touch the computer Haiden thinks we need to watch cartoons! So anyways we have been trying to get everything ready for this baby to come, I know I have a few months left but I wanted Haiden to get used to a big girl bed! The transition has not been as bad as expected. The biggest problem we have had is getting her to go to sleep by herself. Once she is asleep it's fine but we have to lay with her until that point. Any advice from you veteran parents would be appreciated? So here are some pictures of her new bed for all to enjoy!
We also took a trip to park city last weekend. I only managed to get one picture of Joe and Haiden riding a mechanical horse at the outlet malls! We had a really fun weekend though. Joe and I went skiing (Yes that's right I went skiing!! It felt so good to be able to still ski!) I was especially exhausted the next day but it was worth it. Then we wandered around downtown park city one day and basically just relaxed! It was a great weekend that ended much to quickly.
Not much else going on here. I would post a picture of my pregnant belly but I cant seem to take a good one by myself so i will leave that image for all your own imaginations. Let's just say I definitely look pregnant. Only 14 weeks left to go.

Bordeom!

Last week Haiden had a pretty nasty cold and the weather wasn't much better so we spent alot of time inside the house. By the end of the week we were both a little stir crazy. Haiden was getting ornery because I was making her try on her some clothes. When i was finished, I let her just hang out in her diaper. (She loves hanging out without clothes) However we went into the kitchen and she insisted that her snowboots be put on and well the result was this......
I just had to take a picture!! Check out those knee rolls! What a cutie! Now let's bring on Spring!

IT'S A...........

GIRL!!!

So we found out today that we are having another girl! It will be fun to have two of them so close together, plus I saved ALL of Haiden's clothes (some even have tags still) so as long as they are about the same size we are all prepared! Think of the money we will save! I am sure that I will find a thing or two that this baby just has to have. Anyway, I don't have a way to post the pictures but things look good. We are right on track for a June 24th due date unless I can convince the doctor to take me early!
On another note...... This so called 82% accuracy rate with this test was a huge waste of $30! Boy was it wrong.

Happy Holidays!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Ours turned out to be really fun, however we forgot to take any pictures. Haiden got a baby doll and stroller from Santa Claus, she has not put it down since she opened it up. It's cute to see her play with it. Joe and I were spoiled as well. Today i managed to get some pictures of Haiden enjoying the snow. She loves being outside no matter how cold it is. Grandma even took her for a sleigh ride today! Hope the rest of the holidays turns out well for everyone. Here comes 20101

Baby Update!

Alright, I think you all get the picture. Baby number two will be here around the end of June. We are excited and nervous to add another little person to our family. In the weeks that I knew I was pregnant but still hadn't told anyone I had numerous people give me advice on how I should wait until Haiden is three to have another baby (Thanks Stef!) or how I should wait until Haiden is passed the terrible two stage (MOM!) and all the while I just smiled and listened intently to all this good advice. We love you all and who knows when all this is over we just might take that advice into consideration before the next one!
On a lighter and slightly more embarrassing note; shortly after Haiden was born there was a story on the news about these at home gender predicticion tests that you can do around 10 weeks. I was bound and determined to take one with my next baby. Soooooo, when 10 weeks came along I went to the store and bought this.........
And acording to this I am having a........
Don't worry, I am not totally crazy! I haven't gone out and bought a whole new boy wardrobe or anything. I am still thinking realistically and waiting to see what the ultrasound says in February before I spend all sorts of money but for now it is fun to have some what of an idea. According to the box, this test is 82% accurate if done correctly. We shall just see!
