Weird dreams and Harry Potter

I can totally tell I am pregnant because I always have the strangest dreams. So far, I have dreamt that my parents house had a tornado and a flood and some other weird ones I can't remember. Last night, I dreamt that Snape from the Harry Potter movie was the nice role he played in Sense and Sensibility, not the mean Snape role. And he was totally kissing Hermione. Either I am really excited to read the last (tear) Harry Potter or I am on drugs.

No Pictures

We have been a little boring lately, so no pictures, sorry. I thought I might try to write a real entry though, probably for the first time! Blake and I had our 5th anniversary and it was great. We took a picture, but it was not cute at all, so I thought I would spare you and me the embarrassment.=) We stayed over at the Southpoint Hotel. It was super quiet and so great to sleep in till.....9 am! We went to the Cheesecake Factory and had avocado eggrolls (the best!) and Godiva chocolate cheesecake. I swear, my belly was double the normal size after that! We saw the new Pirates movie and it was pretty good. We also went shopping at the outlets in Primm. It was so nice to have some time together and relax. I am so lucky to be married to Blake! He is such a great guy and hard worker and makes my life a lot more fun and funnier than it would be without him!! Plus, he is a great dad to Hailey.
Hailey is doing well. She is a dancing/singing queen. She is always moving and doing "ballerina dances". Plus, she loves exercising. It is pretty entertaining to watch her do the downward dog and push ups. She likes the baby so far, (probably because he isn't here yet) and wants to kiss and hug him all the time. Whenever we see a baby she asks "Can I hold it." Every baby is an it. I guess I should be thankful for all the practice she is getting though. She is getting out of the mean two year old stage, I think, so that has been helpful! She is really into swimming and would stay in the pool all day if we would let her. She isn't even as white as she used to be!
Blake is still working on school and we hope to be done in two years. Yay! It is so nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel. He started work with a new title company, Noble Title, that his former boss started up. It has been great for him to have the experience.
I am just tutoring and playing with Hailey. Pretty much, Hailey has the most exciting life out of the three of us!=) The baby is growing well and they might even move my due date up to Sept. 22. I don't mind! I just hope I can make it through August. Well, hope I didn't bore you too bad with our exciting lives. Maybe I'll just stick to pictures instead....

Hailey's personality

Hailey kept wanting to take pictures of us the other day and she kept hugging me. I just can't believe how grown up she is getting!

Hailey holding her cousin Dillon and acting like a little mommy. She got him to smile a few times.

Do you think it is too much pink?

What a Laugh!!

The other day, Hailey and I were just messing around and I told her to do a big laugh for me and this is what we got. It was hilarious!! I think we might have a little actress on our hands. Should I be scared?!

Potty training......woo hoo!!

I am so excited to announce that Hailey is officially potty trained!!!! She is going both in the potty and is dry at night and at naps. We are so proud of our girl! It is the greatest feeling to know I don't have to buy diapers again for 4 months.=)

Painting and Counting

Yay, Baby Boy!!!

So, I guess I can't write in the purple anymore, for the baby boy! We had a good ultrasound today. Baby boy (Jared?) is 1 lb. 1 oz. and they say they might move the due date to Sept. 22 because he is growing a lot and I don't want no 9 pound baby coming out of me!!!!! He was so active that we could get lots of good shots. Looks like he has Hailey's nose too. We are excited for him to come and everything looks great!

Playing with friends and stuff

Hailey playing with her second cousin, Sarah. It took them a little while to get used to each other, but now they request each other on a regular basis. Funny girls!!

A few weeks ago, we babysat our friend, Ava. Hailey was pretty excited to have a baby around and show her how to do stuff. It was good to give her some practice. She wanted to feed Ava the bottle even though Ava knows how to do it herself, but she was a good sport and let Hailey "help".

"This is a baby."

We came across Hailey reading dad's scriptures the other day, so we had to get her her own since she destroyed his last set.

After reading scriptures, she wanted the camera. This is what happens when you are two!!!!

Growing Girl!!

We are so proud of Hailey!! She has grown so much and is learning so many new things. She can sing her ABC's and count to 18. She loves to tell us to "Come on" and "I can't reach it" and other funny things she comes up with. She entertains us all the time. She loves her gymnastics class and likes to pull herself up on the bar. She has even learned how to stand in line and take turns from that class! She is almost potty trained, so we are pretty happy about that! Lately, she has been trying to pull my shirt up to see the baby and give him hugs and kisses. It's kinda weird sometimes, but I'm glad she's not hating the baby.

She was into the ladybug costume one day, so she wore it and put silverware away.

Don't ask me how she ended up like this. Lately, she likes coloring on herself more than coloring on paper!

After painting one day.

With her second cousin, Sarah. They are becoming good friends! Yay!

Feeding each other an apple.

Dad took some days of off work, so we went to Mt. Charleston on one of them and went on a little hike. It was pretty chilly, but Hailey was a trooper.

Easter Fun (Yes, it is late!)

We had a lot of fun on Easter. It was great to watch Hailey get involved in dying eggs and just being really cute.

Finished product. Her favorite part was putting the stickers on!

Family tradition....this might sound gross, but we always mix the leftover colors in a bowl and make a "brown egg". It is fun!

My sister, Sarah, was here from Idaho. This is one of her many self portraits. I thought I would embarrass her.

This will be a good one to get out for the boyfriends in the future. She loves her bubble blower, but got in trouble one day so we took it away. Not we can't find it. Sad! I know it will show up eventually.

It's a Boy!

We went to the dr. today and found out that we will be having a boy! Yay! We are pretty excited. Of course, Blake is very proud! Dr. Swainston said the baby is very proud of his manhood, oh no, I think I will probably get peed on!=) Now I am going to have to change the blog colors and I don't know how to do it without erasing everything. Oh well, I guess it is worth it, or maybe he won't mind pink?!

Temple Fun

We took Hailey up to the temple on Saturday. She learned about it in nursery and wanted to see it. She was so cute up there and we had a great time!!

Dissecting a flower. Oopsies.

Hailey and daddoo (her name for him). She wouldn't leave him alone all day!

I just love how big her lips look in this!

Hailey has many moods, here she is pretty okay.....

Five seconds later. I guess this is what happens when you are two.

We just love this kid!! We are so proud of her and all she has learned.

Just for fun

Hailey in a rare quiet, still moment.

Blowing bubbles and pretty proud of herself! I couldn't believe how big she looked in these pictures!

Playing with her friend, Lana. They love to copy eachother!

Blake with baby Dillon.

Potty Time!!

We finally got the nerve, (thanks mostly to my sister,Michelle) to potty train Hailey. She's been talking about the potty for months, so we took the plunge. It has turned out pretty well so far! She is good at realizing when she has to go. I still haven't been brave enough to put her in underwear when we go out, but someday! She was being really cute yesterday and I took a video of her dance moves, but then I realized she didn't have anything on underneath her dress....so you'll just have to imagine how great she looked rockin' out!

Going potty, eating goldfish, watching Peter Pan and making a fish face. She is a multi-tasker.

Spring Mountain Ranch

A few weeks ago, we were planning on going on a cool hike, but we couldn't find it. So, instead we went to Spring Mountain Ranch in Red Rock. We had lunch and walked around and it was hot. But it was good to get away and the place is beautiful!

Being defiant and trying to cross the road alone.....big surprise! Luckily, only 2 cars went down that road in about two hours!

Tourists for a night

Our friend, Kellie, came to visit us for a week from Idaho. It was great to have her!! It inspired us to get out and see Vegas. Blake had never really been to the strip, so it was pretty fun. Besides the nasty fliers, it was a great time! Hopefully, these pictures will inspire more people to come visit us so we can show you around!=)

Showing off our "buddha bellies". I am glad the really Buddha's is bigger.

Watching the fountains at the Bellagio. This was Hailey's favorite part! She wouldn't quit smiling and saying "mom, look!"

Here are the fountains with a bunch of strangers in the picture.=)

Hailey after the fountains, still smiling!

The frog is all made out of flowers! Crazy!

At the shark reef. There were so many cool animals and we got to touch a stingray. There were also tons of jellyfish. Hailey thought ever blue fish was "dori".
