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".

Baby Time!!!

We are excited to say that we are going to have a baby around the end of September!! This picture is kinda small, but yep, there's a baby there! And sorry it's upside down!

White Trash Cardboard House

We had a cardboard box left over after some furniture and Hailey kinda turned it into her little playhouse, so we taped it up and made it her little hideaway. She has colored all over it and plays peek-a-boo in it all the time.

Coloring from all angles

Do I look happy?

Our funny girl

We have to strip her down when she gets pudding. I'm sure you understand why!

Our little Picasso painting. She loves it because she gets to use glitter too. PS. We only paint on bath days!

We went to The Jump Zone and Hailey had a great time. I had to take her up the big slide about 10 times and slide down, not with her, but after her. Those places are awesome!

The Dillon!!

Michelle had her baby on Feb. 18th(?). I am pretty sure it was that day. Everything went well and he is the cutest little guy!! Whoever said little baby girls are cuter than baby boys hasn't met Dillon!

Hailey playing with Dillon. She loves seeing him and wants to give him hugs and kisses all the time. She said she wants to carry him, but we'll have to wait on that!

Gangsta pose

Hailey (very softly) labeling his body parts.

What a cute kid!

Michelle's baby shower

A few weeks ago we had a baby shower for my sister, Michelle. It was a lot of fun and she got a lot of neat things for a little boy. Even more cool baby stuff has come out since Hailey was born.

Showing off her handmade blankets from our Aunt Mindie. So soft and cute!

Ethan with his "big brother" gift. No, it wasn't the gun!

Chad waiting for his "change"

Poor girl, don't you just feel bad for her?!

Happy Birthday Hailey!

Yes, this is kind of late, but Hailey turned 2 on Feb. 8. Can't believe it has already been two years and we are still having fun with her!! We had a family party and she had a fun day.

Waiting for her guests to arrive. Not very ladylike, Hailey!!

Hanging out with papa and showing off her purple fruit snacks tongue

Reading the neat Care Bears card from Michelle, Chad and Ethan

Once she opened the kitchen from gramma, we had to bribe her to open up the rest of her gifts. She had to take a "drink" in between each gift.

Princess Hailey on her bike. Too bad it's been so cold recently!

Digging in to the Cars cake. She kept trying to steal Ethan's too!
