I guess I deserved that.....

So Thursday morning I was trying to clean up breakfast and get ready for work and what not. Haiden was really trying hard to get me to stop what I was doing and play with her. Her new thing to do is put all her babies to sleep, each one with their own blanket mind you and then shut all the bedroom doors. Five minutes later we have to go wake them all up and then repeat the process. It's cute but I was running late anyways and didn't have time to stop and play. (I sound like a terrible mom, I know) We recently bought her a miniature pic nic table. Since the weather has been so crappy the table is now residing in my living room. I pulled out the crayons and the coloring book and told her that she needed to sit at her table and color until mom was ready to go. What was I thinking!!! About ten minutes later I came out to check on her cause she had been pretty quiet. Quiet turns out is not always a good sound, turns out she thought it would be more fun to color everywhere else except the coloring book. Yes that's right, black crayon all over my brown walls!!! I guess I deserved that since I would not play with her but she still got in trouble. I panicked a little at first because the paint on the walls is different all together and I wasn't sure what I could do to get the crayon out. Turns out WD-40 is good for more than just door squeaks! Gotta love those kids and their creativity though!
On another note, We are down to about 5 1/2 weeks until baby girl number two arrives. We have no name yet, not even an idea really so if you have any good ones send them our way.
Joe has run off to China this week for business and took our camera so I can't post any pictures. When he gets back I will try and get some updated pictures up. In the meantime, my goal is to have Haiden potty trained before he gets back. Any suggestions?

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
