Hailey vs. the Vaseline & more cute pics

My nephew, Cameron was blessed this last weekend! It was really fun being able to hang out with family. Christy & Keoki came into town Friday and stayed with us. The kids LOVE seeing them and had such a great time hanging out. Grammie made Colin & Cameron the cutest little baby quilts too! Aren't they darling?! So here are some shots from our weekend...

We had Hailey's 2 year check-up this morning. It went great! Kinda funny too since today was my due date with her- 2 years ago! She was so cute- talked the Dr's ear off. He encouraged us to start potty training and to put her in gymnastics!

She's small, but feisty- 21.4 lbs and 33.5" tall. Waaay off the charts for weight, but in the 35th% for height!

She cried really hard for about 30 seconds after she had her shots...but a Dum-Dum seemed to cure everything ;) No more shots until she's 5! Yay!

I had to add this pic too- the other day, I was taking a mini-nap while Colin slept and the older kids were watching a movie. Thomas walked in to where I was and said- "Mom, Hailey's such a mess." The way he said it I was thinking- oh no, she's gone poo poo and took her diaper off! Nooooo!!! But she came in and I didn't smell anything. She got closer to me. She looked clean. I'm confused. Until I see that...she's shiny. Is she wet? Noooo. Glossy even. Clumps of something on her cheeks, on her eye lashes and in her hair. VASELINE. Lovely. Do you know how many times I had to wash her hair to get it all out? about 10! Two- year olds are so FUN!

Hailey's party & my Sweet baby boy!

I wanted to show a few pics from Hailey's birthday party. We didn't have a "real" party this year- just had some family over for pizza and cake. It was fun though and from the looks of it, she had a great time. Her big gift was a play kitchen, which, I have to admit, I was pretty excited about! It's so fun. Oh yeah, and she loves it too! She and Thomas are constantly cooking up all sorts of fun concoctions like boiled grapes, microwaved ice cream, etc.

I had to post a few of my sweet little Colin. What a doll he is! No, he's not sleeping through the night yet, but hopefully that will come soon. He's 3.5 months old- I need to schedule his 4 month appt soon. He is smiling and laughing and is just so social. He recently started rolling over too! Crazy kid. He's my first baby who actually doesn't mind tummy time. Amazing.

HaPpY BiRtHdAy HaiLeY!!

Happy Birthday my sweet girl! You're 2 today! I remember your birth like it was yesterday- Daddy running in with towels after my water broke while laying in bed, the fun (sopping wet) trip to the hospital, walking the halls with Auntie Raz, and then of course- 14 minutes of pushing and you were out! You were TINY- only 5 lbs 8 oz, but full of spunk! Now, 2 years later you're pretty much the same! We love listening to you sing and exclaim, "I LUB it!" when you're excited about something. We love how you're the center of your little world, letting us know it's not BYU, but B-Y-HAILEY! We are so excited to watch you grow up- we're so glad you're part of our family!

This morning with her Birthday breakfast- scrambled eggs, toast and banana- her choice!

My little princess!

It's 2009!

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. We really didn't do anything extraordinary- just hung out as a family! It was fun though. We all slept in (as much as a 3 month old would allow!) and took it easy. We watched movies and football and played games. It was hard doing anything outside since it was freezing cold and snowing a ton- so most of our activities were indoors. The kids all did well though- thanks to all the new toys and games from Christmas! Here are several pics of our holiday...
