Maybe a little too much, but I’m just glad he has yet to get mad at her or try to hurt her (on purpose). He loves helping me give her a bath and reading stories to her. It’s adorable.</p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Q8E2owjL5dw/VvVwHCe6KJI/AAAAAAAAIUI/MYwItFiok44/s1600-h/IMG_64643.jpg"><img title="IMG_6464" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_6464" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-G7jaGoE5VnU/VvVwHsqM0oI/AAAAAAAAIUM/9UTVd30p_TU/IMG_6464_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O2-SzSTIwaE/VvVwIEWJ8yI/AAAAAAAAIUQ/cXZGCHbdqS4/s1600-h/IMG_64374.jpg"><img title="IMG_6437" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_6437" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KWCxodvxng0/VvVwI7XwOSI/AAAAAAAAIUU/XTQP9whT0yg/IMG_6437_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7B9R5a9i2GI/VvVwJFOyuiI/AAAAAAAAIUY/trsbBhAS7yA/s1600-h/IMG_64534.jpg"><img title="IMG_6453" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_6453" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZcCs9u-P8YM/VvVwJsus3wI/AAAAAAAAIUc/YQoTUoLBqIg/IMG_6453_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Steph gave us this cute onesie from her work.

It’s the cutest thing and I let her nap that way a lot now, but we discovered it because I put her on the floor (above) during Owen’s bath, and she fell asleep and stayed that way for 2 HOURS! We were walking all around her and she kept sleeping. Love it.</p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0Hj9xsJ-Dh8/VvVwNsyNfAI/AAAAAAAAIU4/K8GjYwYkijw/s1600-h/IMG_64474.jpg"><img title="IMG_6447" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_6447" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UIkrcnHRWmg/VvVwN3j2xsI/AAAAAAAAIU8/grrtW49kUvE/IMG_6447_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="405"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xkmg8FJ_iEw/VvVwOeLbRSI/AAAAAAAAIVA/f9m_vTkFqoM/s1600-h/IMG_64524.jpg"><img title="IMG_6452" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_6452" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1tEreqNPgBY/VvVwO7zelFI/AAAAAAAAIVE/B-7DEb81fgc/IMG_6452_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_XTduIwba8E/VvVwPQi-DnI/AAAAAAAAIVI/-N-2p5M6oOo/s1600-h/IMG_65144.jpg"><img title="IMG_6514" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_6514" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Y5vNqhKUbbw/VvVwQODZl5I/AAAAAAAAIVM/VilU-ZLeRXg/IMG_6514_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WLL0RXH9ioE/VvVwQjm39sI/AAAAAAAAIVQ/7H-qjXQ6Cc4/s1600-h/IMG_65073.jpg"><img title="IMG_6507" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_6507" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--qdDZcj9dtM/VvVwRCYyyxI/AAAAAAAAIVU/Qe2YuXKTdE0/IMG_6507_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="374" height="374"></a></p> <p>Leah loves the wrap and being cuddled up, but she is pretty needy and wants to be held a ton, which is hard for me.

We didn’t think we would be there long, but Owen was in heaven and we stayed for about 3 hours!

I started feeling sick on Friday afternoon but I made Danny still leave with plans to meet them up there the next morning. I ended up getting SUPER sick and throwing up about every 15 minutes for the next 12 hours. My mom was amazing and came to take care of me. Danny felt terrible and kept saying he would come home but I told him to stay and I’m glad they did so they had fun and didn’t get sick.

It was really overcast and just cool, which was perfect for the days at the theme parks, but not so great for the beach. Owen didn’t get in the water, so he was fine with a jacket and I bundled up in the towels. We ended up staying a long time and still having a lot of fun though.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qhnGMp4eksM/VcF8ev_WMWI/AAAAAAAAHvM/zGWHjTlr_hE/s1600-h/IMG_53933.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5393" border="0" alt="IMG_5393" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dgsRAOnbsGw/VcF8gz7l_pI/AAAAAAAAHvU/E2MTob9YOc8/IMG_5393_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bzoAIulxNGs/VcF8jDqsrNI/AAAAAAAAHvc/v8ANci4r_0g/s1600-h/IMG_5400.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5400" border="0" alt="IMG_5400" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mJw3SACBIjk/VcF8kxUI6nI/AAAAAAAAHvk/qH8Q5MjFGC0/IMG_5400_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ST_ORBnFKlI/VcF8lPSDe_I/AAAAAAAAHvs/jK7S8fgKP0w/s1600-h/IMG_5467.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5467" border="0" alt="IMG_5467" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8gmiHljWCeA/VcF8niCxWrI/AAAAAAAAHv0/DZOT6w12haI/IMG_5467_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0SBrKsZ912Y/VcF82qfhVYI/AAAAAAAAHv8/BDo_jPhSJ4k/s1600-h/IMG_5464.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5464" border="0" alt="IMG_5464" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6oAnNq5jwK8/VcF83JcEr1I/AAAAAAAAHwE/UZlVu83B_Bs/IMG_5464_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Dan and Owen had a lot of fun just playing in the sand.

The weather was amazing and cool and overcast and I just loved it. I don’t know if I mentioned this, but we were able to bring the BOB stroller in my in-law’s RV and it was awesome. It is so easy to push and goes everywhere, and it can lay down super far so Owen took several naps in it, including a nice long nap at the zoo!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cYv4zURIqMU/VcF9A-2HWEI/AAAAAAAAHwc/nYhYJiqSHBQ/s1600-h/IMG_5434.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5434" border="0" alt="IMG_5434" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F9B5EG_sTo0/VcF9Bv6nxHI/AAAAAAAAHwk/yE9WsoSMNEY/IMG_5434_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1tLOTaCdTw0/VcF9Ccrrd-I/AAAAAAAAHws/TTJ3UvDsXVo/s1600-h/IMG_5442%25255B1%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5442" border="0" alt="IMG_5442" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4ZX1mUqNOSo/VcF9DfesbYI/AAAAAAAAHw0/xQ8SBJVPNAs/IMG_5442_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>Our first stop was the double decker bus tour around the zoo.

It was perfect for our family with two rooms and Owen slept awesome (even on the top bunk!). The only downside was no bathroom, but we managed fine with the KOA bathrooms. It was great for the whole family, and we had Mark’s family in the cabin next to us, and Dave’s family in an RV down the street, and Dan’s parent's in an RV near Dave. We could all get together at our firepit and play at night and it was just an awesome vacation! The drive home was looooong, but there was no barfing and it was so much fun!</p> Haley Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895423949573872264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570831208357349653.post-57829825328320278332015-07-28T15:36:00.001-06:002015-07-28T15:36:57.931-06:00June-San Deigo part 1<p>June started with lots of splash pads with friends (and friend/cousin Weston).

We drove about halfway the first day and I was pretty worried about Owen’s history of carsickness. He did great until about 4 hours into the trip then he threw up multiple times. We had this huge bib on him and a barf bucket ready, but we let our guard down and took it off after a few hours and then he barfed all over his clothes.

Owen really wanted Grandma to push him in the stroller. We are so glad Dan’s parents drove their RV so we could throw this huge stroller in there. It was so nice to push everywhere and Owen slept in it a ton!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hiA1Rn05BKM/Vbf1m9YeVuI/AAAAAAAAHqs/17V9Gev-bjY/s1600-h/IMG_53374.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5337" border="0" alt="IMG_5337" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HSriwiLIt40/Vbf1nxCYIaI/AAAAAAAAHq0/cwG5pdq-FEw/IMG_5337_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We went to the Mormon Battalion museum which was pretty cool. We had to wait quite a while before we could get a tour, but the kids all played in the grass across the street, and we sat in the shade so it wasn’t too bad.<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iMawr4F9gW0/Vbf1ofZqUfI/AAAAAAAAHq8/bcoXLkidD7w/s1600-h/IMG_53483.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5348" border="0" alt="IMG_5348" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PMncE_501hE/Vbf1pIXTj6I/AAAAAAAAHrE/H2jsn9aWWf0/IMG_5348_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>The tour was fun and interactive and the kids really enjoyed it. Afterwards we got to pan for gold and take a few rocks home.

It was pretty terrible, and I was so afraid that he was sick and our whole trip could be ruined. But we got him cleaned up and he went back to bed for a few hours, then woke up fine! We went to Seaworld and had tons of fun with cousins!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-44cW3lvkkns/Vbf1rDaK33I/AAAAAAAAHrc/xnfUkU-v2qo/s1600-h/IMG_53554.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5355" border="0" alt="IMG_5355" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WQvA-WwkPLE/Vbf1rizG-MI/AAAAAAAAHrg/DnAjla2UqM8/IMG_5355_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Owen loved his little whale souvenir and didn’t put it down for most of the trip!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7oMo3sSKdlc/Vbf1sFelRsI/AAAAAAAAHrs/Kik-PscDDlU/s1600-h/IMG_53803.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5380" border="0" alt="IMG_5380" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-T3uUgyP8OZ8/Vbf1shQhFII/AAAAAAAAHr0/RKbNAPO97gs/IMG_5380_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="374" height="374"></a></p> <p>His face was totally priceless when we watched the whale show and he clapped along to the music.

Owen still loves all kinds of machines and big trucks, and he knows all the different names of them. Don’t call them all tractors or he will correct you. My mom bought him this loader shirt and he was stoked that it matched his little toy loader.<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UA20uDni7tk/VY2pzEOVoJI/AAAAAAAAHk0/K10D62ga-M4/s1600-h/IMG_5201%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5201" border="0" alt="IMG_5201" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yaPNPGzlZkM/VY2pzwXhMaI/AAAAAAAAHk8/FhMoI62iiVw/IMG_5201_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-r1YrJcM0Uug/VY2p0xgBfbI/AAAAAAAAHlE/Q-U_OgDVA_w/s1600-h/IMG_5220%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5220" border="0" alt="IMG_5220" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BJTuqakL2VQ/VY2p2fxsawI/AAAAAAAAHlM/6zu26CRQkjE/IMG_5220_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Mother’s Day was great and Dan bought me 6 pounds of cherry jelly bellys!

Owen absolutely loves riding the horses, so we just go to the farm and ride them and ride the wagon, then go over to the children’s museum. He and Myka were dancing in the dress up clothes and cracking us up.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YFpQEpuoAr8/VY2p4j8GJKI/AAAAAAAAHlk/wGECCXzw_eE/s1600-h/IMG_5252%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5252" border="0" alt="IMG_5252" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-77K3WmJTgZ0/VY2p5rdtqVI/AAAAAAAAHlo/ZuDNpByZNFI/IMG_5252_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sqCdARZLnEc/VY2p6GLVI1I/AAAAAAAAHl0/GKCGWB4qsE4/s1600-h/IMG_5204%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5204" border="0" alt="IMG_5204" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lu_lXVTSl8s/VY2p62P4-kI/AAAAAAAAHl4/JNCZKGi6jgc/IMG_5204_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ysv_fpKQ04M/VY2p7ZLEEtI/AAAAAAAAHmE/wbPQZnZDTFA/s1600-h/IMG_5209%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5209" border="0" alt="IMG_5209" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IcU-yjUesco/VY2p8JE0AYI/AAAAAAAAHmI/7nJenzWHTmY/IMG_5209_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>These two cousins are pretty cute. We play with them a lot and we have a little group of us that play a lot together. Weston is about 5 months younger than Owen and they just have a blast together. They get a little crazy when toys or trucks are around, but if we keep the toys away, they are super cute and fun together. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KO_7td8pdXI/VY2p891d3-I/AAAAAAAAHmQ/Rpzw58c9jj0/s1600-h/IMG_5272%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5272" border="0" alt="IMG_5272" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TxkfZgJ_zTg/VY2p9kCSdDI/AAAAAAAAHmY/H7EHmvMWnMM/IMG_5272_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="374" height="374"></a></p> <p>We had a Memorial Day BBQ at Danny’s aunt’s house in South Jordan and Great Grandpa Goates pushed Owen for quite a while!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PUZ26GBY3BI/VY2p-_2YLeI/AAAAAAAAHmg/TRkFb4J_Mwc/s1600-h/IMG_5271%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5271" border="0" alt="IMG_5271" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HB9Ou-buYZw/VY2p_pgCm5I/AAAAAAAAHmo/EbfMDkfFA0c/IMG_5271_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yAicNT9utp0/VY2qAR_NYlI/AAAAAAAAHmw/hn5FTCxUJY4/s1600-h/IMG_5266%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5266" border="0" alt="IMG_5266" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--aUbmGoJUrs/VY2qBoNCY-I/AAAAAAAAHm4/G2ReoR9CA48/IMG_5266_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>My mom and sister and I had a girls weekend in St. George and it was a blast. I left Owen home and it was nice to just relax with my mom and sis. We ate a lot, saw a movie, and went to the temple together.<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-h63WviKHkJk/VY2qDKv-gaI/AAAAAAAAHnE/EJjol1D7C38/s1600-h/IMG_5297%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5297" border="0" alt="IMG_5297" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lxKaNVUtMLY/VY2qE0jQk5I/AAAAAAAAHnI/71hu_125kOo/IMG_5297_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="374" height="374"></a></p> <p>Our neighbor finally got the retaining wall done (after some drama…ugh) so we could bring in gravel and finish the playground area. Dan’s parents and our awesome neighbor helped haul gravel to the backyard and I raked it and we got it almost completely done in an evening! It looks awesome and Owen loves his “park” and the neighbor kids spend a lot of time back there too. The gravel has been great so far and really fun for Owen to dig and play in.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-R0Dutgl7LRc/VY2qFluIRNI/AAAAAAAAHnU/nAy0nQT3Kto/s1600-h/IMG_5291%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5291" border="0" alt="IMG_5291" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XnE9RoSfGiw/VY2qGm9wMhI/AAAAAAAAHnc/LxUC6cFQjZ4/IMG_5291_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>One of our first splash pad days with Owen’s girlfriends.

I don’t have many pictures of Dan this month, but that’s probably because we just play when dad gets home and I don’t worry about pictures as much! But Dan gets home around 4:30 most days and it’s awesome! Owen can’t wait and everything is just more fun when dad gets home!</p> Haley Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895423949573872264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570831208357349653.post-65320260518756655562015-06-25T15:06:00.001-06:002015-06-25T15:06:43.760-06:00April<p>Ahh I’m getting behind and I can’t let that happen.

These two snoozed and played in the backseat and Owen barfed a few times, but luckily Dan was there to catch it. Sweet.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LC5o2gOhhtw/VYxtCI517UI/AAAAAAAAHgg/1G_WoxjFoTY/s1600-h/IMG_5031%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5031" border="0" alt="IMG_5031" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GjMjx0HYwg8/VYxtCzffr2I/AAAAAAAAHgo/tuFMk_UwH7Y/IMG_5031_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Owen LOVED my aunt and uncle's house (it is pretty awesome, we feel like we get so spoiled when we go). He loved Keith and Karen, and their dog Indy a lot. Unfortunately, he and I got the sickies and were both sick most of the short trip!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BTIf3DsMJ0k/VYxtDrxd87I/AAAAAAAAHgs/DAfBhaxZNqA/s1600-h/IMG_5030%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5030" border="0" alt="IMG_5030" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-viw5CuCTSys/VYxtEDRPTXI/AAAAAAAAHg4/CodqmwZTST8/IMG_5030_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>It was kind of the worst because we didn’t get to see my cousin and her new baby and Owen was banished to the bedroom, then when he was feeling better, I got sick. It was no good. Luckily we were both mostly better for an Easter egg hunt and dinner that night before we had to leave the next morning.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lnK3G6vrR9U/VYxtFOEsZeI/AAAAAAAAHhA/q2eE6inlThs/s1600-h/IMG_5035%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5035" border="0" alt="IMG_5035" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LuvYfLz4iW4/VYxtF4cmbII/AAAAAAAAHhI/VTErFuL6mVQ/IMG_5035_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QuqTBEwJoHE/VYxtGp5ubRI/AAAAAAAAHhQ/yYWRX8izm6c/s1600-h/IMG_5041%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5041" border="0" alt="IMG_5041" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KbBZV34ukAY/VYxtHvp8-aI/AAAAAAAAHhY/o3zSfxMTQ0I/IMG_5041_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FOB76itI70w/VYxtIiPygnI/AAAAAAAAHhg/cAKUqQzcW1s/s1600-h/IMG_5047%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5047" border="0" alt="IMG_5047" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F6jr2Gv-o08/VYxtJhyBG-I/AAAAAAAAHho/bnQ3XqAPElw/IMG_5047_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>The construction next door kept Owen’s interest with tons of machines and various trucks coming and going all the time.

Owen has been in absolute heaven watching all the big equipment come and go. And I’ve been amazed at how fast the house is going up. It’s fun to watch and it will be nice to get new neighbors (with a little boy!) and be done with the noise!<img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4931" border="0" alt="IMG_4931" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-L26PShy2qE0/VTFjsC-3MqI/AAAAAAAAHb0/cCx5-3jSOfc/IMG_4931_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--tkhUiR6WeE/VTFjs-wAWxI/AAAAAAAAHcA/efV6qdYCwRM/s1600-h/IMG_4971%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4971" border="0" alt="IMG_4971" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GWKhCgUVaKk/VTFjt04kzsI/AAAAAAAAHcI/dHlhHmmDzlU/IMG_4971_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We regularly go outside and check out what they are doing and some of the workers have been so nice to let Owen sit on the equipment. He is basically in shock and doesn’t act that happy while he’s on it, but afterwards he doesn’t stop talking about it and asking to do it again.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AcNV0JrvnLQ/VTFjuhGYNiI/AAAAAAAAHcQ/ZGYU2LMDroI/s1600-h/IMG_4972%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4972" border="0" alt="IMG_4972" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rSGhPxv4ORE/VTFjvkgm91I/AAAAAAAAHcU/PWADWBhjW28/IMG_4972_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>I adore this picture of him with his legs crossed just watching the loader digging.

It was super fun and a great deal if you go on Tuesday afternoons!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-xG_LxKQKEUM/VRmpvRghrKI/AAAAAAAAHYY/STL1JBHZnBQ/s1600-h/IMG_48144.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4814" border="0" alt="IMG_4814" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KnbwhLo91ZI/VRmpv6-JjaI/AAAAAAAAHYg/n4akOSwIQyg/IMG_4814_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-klIkKQtvGWw/VRmpwd5PydI/AAAAAAAAHYk/goTfJ7-mulA/s1600-h/IMG_48164.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4816" border="0" alt="IMG_4816" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-zGuHkIRlpFE/VRmp31kCAsI/AAAAAAAAHYw/IuTYlk8txxs/IMG_4816_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Driving cars/tractors/vehicles is pretty much all we do around here and Owen loves it. Dumping dirt and scooping it up again was enough to keep him busy for quite a while!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-YmxA8Db_p9k/VRmp4kpD0nI/AAAAAAAAHY4/s3ND2HjjETQ/s1600-h/IMG_48534.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4853" border="0" alt="IMG_4853" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-MPNDpdk2d4g/VRmp5Inu7QI/AAAAAAAAHZA/NmeRLT-JVD0/IMG_4853_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Before bed one night, Owen put his blanket on his head and ran full speed into the wall! It was way sad and a little scary because this massive goose egg formed literally 10 seconds later. It was huge, but he was fine and it was gone in a few days!</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ZyogvrsX9yg/VRmp51at1zI/AAAAAAAAHZI/PHy8xysYFXk/s1600-h/IMG_48444.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4844" border="0" alt="IMG_4844" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-SpmyYbvE2LE/VRmp6a6k4xI/AAAAAAAAHZQ/lA7q13dENeE/IMG_4844_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-zrhkxMoaPgc/VRmp6-MA3YI/AAAAAAAAHZY/jjqPDDf6yUo/s1600-h/IMG_48614.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4861" border="0" alt="IMG_4861" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--zYk0XtmzSE/VRmp7vncBWI/AAAAAAAAHZg/QAkO5qlffy4/IMG_4861_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>The matching superman shirts are awesome. Owen loves having the same shirt as Dan and makes him put it on as much as possible. I caught these cute boys just chillin in the same pose watching TV together! They are the cutest!</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Qz1kPpye8xw/VRmp8WZ7LlI/AAAAAAAAHZo/Nim9YRsgbeg/s1600-h/IMG_48924.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4892" border="0" alt="IMG_4892" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-nkE45TTKbaY/VRmp9NBd13I/AAAAAAAAHZw/POodV9iiNA8/IMG_4892_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-dBGv5FdaC68/VRmp9iIbpvI/AAAAAAAAHZ4/yWvzuzlmnOg/s1600-h/IMG_48804.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4880" border="0" alt="IMG_4880" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CpMCd66PPhw/VRmp-Xg-XuI/AAAAAAAAHaA/DkBgzG_x4j0/IMG_4880_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We were able to do an adults only dinner with the Hill family at Buca di Bepo to celebrate Christmas. It was really nice to get together without kids and we have a lot of fun.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-oTJJBiz1L9o/VRmp-3lXqFI/AAAAAAAAHaI/wcSwfcrY4TM/s1600-h/IMG_48934.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4893" border="0" alt="IMG_4893" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-XyRQQ6A0yvM/VRmp_tCa7gI/AAAAAAAAHaQ/O1_vMieq8pc/IMG_4893_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-pbtRkrPx3ro/VRmqAJpjG4I/AAAAAAAAHaY/yHLu00_pG4U/s1600-h/IMG_48944.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4894" border="0" alt="IMG_4894" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ChqKQ7m1R-M/VRmqA1xUnqI/AAAAAAAAHag/N_MZu0W_qjg/IMG_4894_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We started potty training at the end of February and I was pretty terrified. But I wanted to get it done before summer and I wanted to give it a really good effort <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-toTXqmL64nU/VRmqBq08KlI/AAAAAAAAHao/NPAvDtLlc94/s1600-h/IMG_49044.jpg">to see if he could do it. He is a little young, but 6 weeks later, I can say we are good! There were a few days where I wanted to die and give up, and I almost did, but we pushed through and things are pretty good now. I know it is a process, but we have very few accidents these days and I’m so excited about it! Plus, little chubby legs in undies is the cutest thing ever!<img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4904" border="0" alt="IMG_4904" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-7K6ZK3iOfWM/VRmqCP5eCzI/AAAAAAAAHaw/KXf5uzulf9s/IMG_4904_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> Haley Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895423949573872264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570831208357349653.post-30572786422326348742015-01-21T13:54:00.001-07:002015-01-21T13:54:56.443-07:00Christmas and Owen’s pictures<p>Christmas was really fantastic this year. We woke up excited to open presents and Owen had a pretty decent understanding of Santa and opening gifts, so he tore into his presents pretty quickly. The hardest part was having to wait while we opened them so he could play with them!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-VGU331sSLYk/VMARyBb0EhI/AAAAAAAAHSE/XrHp0iXRYz8/s1600-h/IMG_4612%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4612" border="0" alt="IMG_4612" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-rsfB2lP5RKQ/VMARylTVufI/AAAAAAAAHSM/Z3_TrXwAqXo/IMG_4612_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p>It was also pretty confusing to him to get a gift and then have to set it aside and open another one. He wanted to just play with it right now!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FZsM3leIEWk/VMARzFX-JbI/AAAAAAAAHSU/VoKXSgyEcXs/s1600-h/IMG_4613%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4613" border="0" alt="IMG_4613" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-7PDj0F97o2E/VMARzkDE-SI/AAAAAAAAHSY/d5x4Hzu4BEE/IMG_4613_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p>Dan insisted Owen get a big dump truck because every boy needs one. And Owen has loved it. It was a great purchase by dad.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8ImwPJO5G9w/VMAR0D3BivI/AAAAAAAAHSk/CNplyTiz5GY/s1600-h/IMG_4615%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4615" border="0" alt="IMG_4615" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xIEbVrrmy3U/VMAR0kZI3EI/AAAAAAAAHSs/bDHeZWKfDdA/IMG_4615_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p>Santa brought him an awesome train set and I spent some time setting up a pretty sweet track.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Dow9g-tdDxE/VMAR1b4T4JI/AAAAAAAAHSw/sJGtf548CkU/s1600-h/IMG_4618%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4618" border="0" alt="IMG_4618" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-AxxTISk-tIc/VMAR11A3xJI/AAAAAAAAHS4/fSVbcTp7AbI/IMG_4618_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p>Owen loved (and still loves) it!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Q2k8io-4Np4/VMAR2ZUh04I/AAAAAAAAHTE/XZpFZhcZj0U/s1600-h/IMG_4621%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4621" border="0" alt="IMG_4621" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-WpSysdfnZ7U/VMAR28jNUnI/AAAAAAAAHTI/GOkEmU5vPO0/IMG_4621_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p>My family came over around 10, which was a new thing for us. Since we live closer, we decided to have cinnamon rolls at my house and open presents then! It turned out to be great and Owen got totally spoiled by my family!<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/--85zucch-dI/VMAR3funjsI/AAAAAAAAHTU/Q-bV9wnln84/s1600-h/IMG_4603%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4603" border="0" alt="IMG_4603" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-47XfwGWUMYI/VMAR3-wmUMI/AAAAAAAAHTc/PrOC23cSIpA/IMG_4603_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-FX-T7qIslbI/VMAR4m-Xe3I/AAAAAAAAHTk/F4LrEu4tc10/s1600-h/IMG_4627%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4627" border="0" alt="IMG_4627" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-S8mSHEYkJ6s/VMAR5MkCcQI/AAAAAAAAHTs/-tyn3K9Sp8A/IMG_4627_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Fl75slfVye8/VMAR5irSy6I/AAAAAAAAHT0/FxWGTLO6PcY/s1600-h/IMG_4629%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4629" border="0" alt="IMG_4629" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-unn-nn9HNjQ/VMAR6WrobbI/AAAAAAAAHT4/uL5j8pYxJ2o/IMG_4629_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>Steph and Andrew got him a sweet basketball hoop and he loves dunking it.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-eopJTz5MrRM/VMAR62UnxwI/AAAAAAAAHUE/MVxlcZWVVg0/s1600-h/IMG_4606%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4606" border="0" alt="IMG_4606" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-dmeDoOBRJew/VMAR7SmArxI/AAAAAAAAHUM/c06mnE6HgUk/IMG_4606_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-B9E5TCiHdDc/VMAR77-dDWI/AAAAAAAAHUU/w7E3DlVYu1Y/s1600-h/IMG_4631%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4631" border="0" alt="IMG_4631" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3rUR5Y2kaZw/VMAR8uE9K6I/AAAAAAAAHUY/EOQMKqv-OPY/IMG_4631_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-vr1EyO7k46Y/VMAR87aat9I/AAAAAAAAHUk/SxJM4MqTuGA/s1600-h/IMG_4601%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4601" border="0" alt="IMG_4601" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-0sV6rkNVUn0/VMAR9VDbapI/AAAAAAAAHUo/EmVoqxh05cE/IMG_4601_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-eBuZkDh6n5o/VMAR96YQRgI/AAAAAAAAHU0/q3dq9HjOK04/s1600-h/IMG_4635%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4635" border="0" alt="IMG_4635" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-GrWAF1DUVNU/VMAR-RJkdOI/AAAAAAAAHU8/nGje-57NeSc/IMG_4635_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>We all exchanged gifts and had fun playing with our stuff for a while.

After Christmas was over, Dan and I looked back and realized what a great holiday season we had. We did a lot of festive things, spent a lot of time with family, and made some good memories together.</p> <p>Owen loves to rock his sunglasses in the car and he looks pretty dang cute.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bIpcFvs-R6I/VLmBA67NMPI/AAAAAAAAHNs/5dUX6h7PU00/s1600-h/IMG_4454%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4454" border="0" alt="IMG_4454" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-GyLV-wQAkDA/VLmBBTBEqmI/AAAAAAAAHN0/jggzsWnpRmA/IMG_4454_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-eLh6B4lyHtE/VLmBB0R-eiI/AAAAAAAAHN8/hMVC3fDkyZY/s1600-h/IMG_4474%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4474" border="0" alt="IMG_4474" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-VsiN3jcBQkw/VLmBCvd7VPI/AAAAAAAAHOE/fyfy5VZ3m0M/IMG_4474_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p>We went to temple square in mid-December when it was literally in the 60s during the day. We went with Mike and Hailey (Owen’s favorite person on earth). He wouldn’t let go of her hand, and insisted she push him in his stroller. It wasn’t like she was pregnant and had a 2 year old to chase around or anything…<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-OaPy5Y8-7v8/VLmBDOs4PyI/AAAAAAAAHOM/ur6tu0b42us/s1600-h/IMG_4473%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4473" border="0" alt="IMG_4473" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-oSPLNvEyIzI/VLmBD4QiyPI/AAAAAAAAHOU/3dA2X-EdELg/IMG_4473_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p>Owen’s little friend Kameron finally started nursery and they held hands the whole walk to nursery that day and it was adorable. We love Kameron (and Michelle and Landon). They have become some really good friends in our neighborhood.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3K5Y-Nhi_S4/VLmBEjSa_gI/AAAAAAAAHOY/G2B0EfFN_rs/s1600-h/IMG_4457%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4457" border="0" alt="IMG_4457" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-sxMUKVGupQQ/VLmBFKk69PI/AAAAAAAAHOc/ZGParp6AJtc/IMG_4457_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p>We had the 7th annual Hill Family Progressive Dinner and it was a success.

It was super fun to just chat with no kids (Dan brought Owen home to put him to bed!) and we laughed a lot. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-shMMFzKRtrk/VLmBJYJN2aI/AAAAAAAAHPc/RtXqXuu55zY/s1600-h/IMG_4493%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4493" border="0" alt="IMG_4493" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-nTcK6h_ILhA/VLmBKU9fT_I/AAAAAAAAHPk/0pSLe2voni4/IMG_4493_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>The Peterson Farm is right by our house and we just love it. We went with my mom and rode a fun wagon pulled by the tractor. Owen was in heaven and got to ride on some of the tractors around the farm. They also had a cute Santa and Mrs. Clause FOR FREE and there was NO LINE. I was so happy but Owen wasn’t super interested. He wouldn’t sit on his lap, but he was fine talking to him and giving him high five. Maybe next year…</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-h92ucUvmJTw/VLmBK5U6WBI/AAAAAAAAHPs/kHY-TJ5i7K4/s1600-h/IMG_4544%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4544" border="0" alt="IMG_4544" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YoiJmJCipy8/VLmBLZyVidI/AAAAAAAAHPw/4lz6YZVCJ2Y/IMG_4544_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p>He also got to feed the cute little goats!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ZJckEkZWsxU/VLmBL_JPrOI/AAAAAAAAHP8/EU4JCZcFLEA/s1600-h/IMG_4527%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4527" border="0" alt="IMG_4527" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-93ROFUMCtxs/VLmBMUrf8QI/AAAAAAAAHQE/LQAIkFQQ6PM/IMG_4527_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>We went to temple square with Dustin, Kaley and Reese. Reese just really wanted to be in our picture and I love how it looks like we have twins. Those two are pretty darling together and have become good friends since we take turns watching kids each month so we can go to the temple.<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-L5hpJivhJ78/VLmBM6KA6YI/AAAAAAAAHQM/zjJovVHJzQU/s1600-h/IMG_4559%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4559" border="0" alt="IMG_4559" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-qLTCoaY52GM/VLmBNuvqElI/AAAAAAAAHQU/FcgDxN9aykY/IMG_4559_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p>We saw the “Tree of Life” in Draper and it was really awesome. We weren’t planning on it and it was freezing and super busy, but very cool.

He plays at work all the time so now we can practice together.

Owen loved Dan’s cowboy hat and wore it all morning one day while he played with his tractors and trucks. He is the cutest.<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-g-YVlzqI4X0/VJMMwXlVj7I/AAAAAAAAHJ0/feYwuSg8IP8/s1600-h/IMG_4337%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4337" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4337" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/--dN3-pRWsZk/VJMMw_f-ClI/AAAAAAAAHJ4/pXhM1ns5gPg/IMG_4337_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> My Grandma Phyllis has been living with my mom for a few years and she recently moved to Idaho to be with her daughter (my dad’s half sister). It was sad to see her go and we have really gotten to know her well over the years since we didn’t see her a lot growing up.

I generally take off Wednesdays and Fridays and it has been so nice to have those days off completely and not even turn on my computer! On one of my first days off we rode on TRAX down to the Children’s Museum at Gateway. Owen was really nervous at first, but after a few minutes, he loved the train. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-sb1raeVrccA/VJMMyfpH2yI/AAAAAAAAHKU/5I6TxDI4zy0/s1600-h/IMG_4357%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4357" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4357" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-o2DSUtK1h6U/VJMMzA83tGI/AAAAAAAAHKY/QosPBVTdCjI/IMG_4357_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> </p> <p></p> <p><img title="IMG_4364" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4364" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4A5T7oN1z_M/VJMMzk0IedI/AAAAAAAAHKk/y-pfdTVIx7M/IMG_4364_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></p> <p>We met my friend Nicole and her little boy Jack. The kids were so busy that we didn’t get to talk much and didn’t even take a picture! But it was still fun and Owen was in heaven with all the fun things they have there. It is a little pricey, but a fun thing to do once in a while.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Of14hlTIbIQ/VJMM0HRD3pI/AAAAAAAAHKo/WW6xUlmPsRY/s1600-h/IMG_4362%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4362" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4362" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-nwVUZlTLYvE/VJMM0uNk5gI/AAAAAAAAHKw/kPI9YfprSrg/IMG_4362_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Aq6l_IHg5w4/VJMM1Pr3yPI/AAAAAAAAHK4/00XkdWMwSlE/s1600-h/IMG_4363%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4363" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4363" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-eP3mBOXZXHI/VJMM1j0kiAI/AAAAAAAAHLA/DJmYHDXe5Ok/IMG_4363_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> We went to the zoo one day as a family and it was beautiful weather and Owen appreciated the animals a lot more than last year when we went.

We started putting up Christmas decorations a little early the year that Owen was born and we really loved it so we have kept doing it. We listen to Christmas music and put up the tree about a week or so before Thanksgiving. It just makes us happy! We had a tiny little tree for our old house but we have plenty of room for a big tree and we found an awesome deal and this tree is gorgeous. I really love it! We have since taken down the weird wood boards on the ceiling and patched all the holes around the house so it looks much better! Dan also hung some shelves for me and I have started putting up frames which I also love.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Rkkm0Xg-BC8/VJMM87oEOTI/AAAAAAAAHMs/pbvVnjkWTP0/s1600-h/IMG_4425%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4425" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4425" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-H_Dav-KyYwU/VJMM9qDSV_I/AAAAAAAAHMw/x5qujzXmD0c/IMG_4425_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p>When I vacuum the floor, I put all of Owen’s toys on the couch and now he thinks it’s the funnest thing to climb on his dump truck while it’s on the chair or couch. He asks for me to do it even when I’m not vacuuming and he wants car keys as well so he can pretend to drive. </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-pwBzX8bzIOs/VJMM94PuFxI/AAAAAAAAHM8/pbPsXxXPo1E/s1600-h/IMG_4427%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4427" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4427" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-pX6STKy8MBw/VJMM-TBaRII/AAAAAAAAHNA/-I3xTl_ZHI4/IMG_4427_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p>We have taken quite a few trips to Ikea lately and we realized that they have a big play area with all of their toys on display for kids to play with. There is a train table, kitchen, work bench, and most of their toys out for kids to play with. There are a bunch of chairs and a tunnel and it’s really fun. So we will sometimes just go to Ikea to play with the trains and Owen is in heaven! Good thing he is getting a train set for his birthday next week!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hx5IcvSYhGU/VJMM--zdt9I/AAAAAAAAHNI/leGfRbBf0nA/s1600-h/IMG_4429%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4429" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4429" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-e_4j-PXvrEw/VJMM_pGqkGI/AAAAAAAAHNU/xbqPrHnLhus/IMG_4429_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> Haley Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895423949573872264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570831208357349653.post-58465514185511949402014-12-01T21:05:00.001-07:002014-12-01T21:07:44.639-07:00October<p>This is way late, but I’m not giving up on blogging! October was lots of fun and we started with pumpkin painting with Steph, my mom, and Steph’s good friend Courtney. We did it during priesthood session and it was lots of fun! I’m the least creative person ever, and I have no patience for crafty things, but the food and company was worth it! The next day we had some of Dan’s family over for conference and lunch since his parents usually host conference and they were out of town. We have been able to spend so much more time with family now that we live close and we just love it. We have had people over to our house a lot and it’s awesome!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-iS-4_9_szP0/VH06YulhCyI/AAAAAAAAHHI/1M5D2-AjTPI/s1600-h/IMG_4212%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4212" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4212" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-vamOJw6LvqQ/VH06ZU46lxI/AAAAAAAAHHM/mqkIfohgG2c/IMG_4212_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a> The next weekend Dan and I took off to Bear Lake for a weekend alone! The only trip alone we’ve had since having Owen was Ragnar and that DEFINITELY doesn’t count. Not romantic, and not relaxing whatsoever! So we were excited, and we left Owen in good hands with Grandma Debbie the first day and with Grandma Nae Nae for the next two!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BIDz7yyF4MI/VH06ZgBVlfI/AAAAAAAAHHY/fxFIbwPW6io/s1600-h/IMG_4221%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4221" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4221" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-C2hVVesMJFI/VH06aezVkaI/AAAAAAAAHHg/pfOR_nhX8k4/IMG_4221_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p>We took our time driving up and stopped at Nordstrom Rack (Dan’s dream come true!) and Sportsman’s Warehouse (my dream come true!) on the way. We had dinner at Firehouse in Logan (oh the memories!). That place is good and Logan in general just left me flooded with so many memories. I absolutely love that place and I felt so nostalgic when we drove around. It has been a while since we were there and I just had so many memories of fun times at school with friends and then getting engaged and being there with Dan. It was wonderful.</p> <p> We stayed at a condo about 1/2 mile from the Bear Lake marina. It was right by the cabin we stayed at with my family last summer. It was really nice and spacious and a great price. It was so awesome to just relax together and not worry about chasing Owen (although we love him!). We watched some football, I read my book, we ate yummy food, and sat in the hot tub! It was basically perfect!</p> <p></p> <p><img title="IMG_4237" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4237" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ED-q6gebYD8/VH06a7BmMWI/AAAAAAAAHHk/-iMVkNFDnWY/IMG_4237_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"><img title="IMG_4235" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4235" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-pmk-RFmXGvU/VH06bE6V-uI/AAAAAAAAHHs/otbyAeidO1Y/IMG_4235_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></p> <p>On Saturday we went for a long drive to Bloomington Lake. I had been there in college with some friends and it was awesome, so we decided to check it out again. The drive was really long up the canyon, but it was beautiful and we loved it! I didn’t get car sick, so I was a happy camper. We finally made it to the lake after a short hike and it didn’t disappoint! Dan loved it and it was just gorgeous and so peaceful. Dan was itching to swing on the rope swing into the water, but it was a little chilly for that!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-QqLrgQdFgsw/VH06bjacMcI/AAAAAAAAHH4/kKGeFvyEaWM/s1600-h/IMG_4238%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4238" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4238" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-67qDc7bn5ag/VH06cK8M1qI/AAAAAAAAHIA/W0cE6sJbA-0/IMG_4238_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p>My mom sent plenty of pictures of this cutie and his new dump truck (he’s only slightly spoiled…). He was in heaven! We face timed with him once and my mom said he got a little homesick once or twice, but he did really well and we knew he was in good hands. My cousin blessed his baby in Hyrum on Sunday so we met the family at the blessing and picked up Owen. It worked out perfectly and we had a great time and we so happy to see our cute boy again!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xL6URc33jx0/VH06ckNL2xI/AAAAAAAAHIE/rkZv-bAu-AM/s1600-h/IMG_4241%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4241" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4241" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-QG2pNsLNCbw/VH06dA6K__I/AAAAAAAAHIM/DlDutADpDDo/IMG_4241_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a></p> <p>There is a great farm near our house and we took a few trips to the pumpkin patch so Owen could drive the tractors. He was absolutely ecstatic, despite this picture. He would literally sit there all day if we let him!</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-sMjZe-Y_Cq0/VH06dbtDCEI/AAAAAAAAHIU/DCRfaQgw8Ok/s1600-h/photo%2525201%2525284%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="photo 1(4)" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="photo 1(4)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-2OfwsCj_7qo/VH06d_4iiUI/AAAAAAAAHIg/9pUTCgQmJ4k/photo%2525201%2525284%252529_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a></p> <p>More construction equipment for this kid. He has quite a collection of tractors and construction equipment and driving it in the dirt was pretty much perfection for him!</p> <p><img title="IMG_4286" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4286" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-GDI46w6zvzU/VH06eoR91xI/AAAAAAAAHIk/8sCZfzzIaGs/IMG_4286_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></p> <p>Dan and I had a shared family dinner eating Thai food. It was DELICIOUS and very fun. My sister even brought yummy cupcakes! We also said goodbye to my Grandma Phyllis about a week after this, as she moved to Idaho to live with her daughter. Having her around the past few years was really nice and I loved getting to know her more and seeing her with Owen was really awesome for us. We will miss her!</p> <p><img title="IMG_4292" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4292" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ywf05gzg7HA/VH06e1-1s5I/AAAAAAAAHIw/mxdBCA5aHMo/IMG_4292_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></p> <p>This is Owen’s favorite thing to do and this picture is the best. He loves to sit by the wall and eat “cracker bears” or “cracker monkeys” with dad. He adores Dan and just wants to copy everything that he does! I love them so much!</p> <p><img title="IMG_4312" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4312" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-RQyMb1l90Cg/VH06fV44TnI/AAAAAAAAHI0/rdtIGbWhdaM/IMG_4312_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></p> <p>Halloween was a blast and the weekend before we did a trunk or treat with my mom’s ward, which was great. Owen got the hang of saying “Trick or Treat” and he was ready for the real thing the next week! I actually dressed up this year and I was pretty proud of mine and Owen’s home made no-sew costumes!</p> <p><img title="photo 2(4)" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="photo 2(4)" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-GpOGtYMm3g8/VH06f9Wv2PI/AAAAAAAAHI8/IZcrHhlFm9I/photo%2525202%2525284%252529_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"> Owen freaked out when I put his costume on, but I didn’t give up and eventually he gave up the fight and just wore it! He looked adorable and we went to Danny’s brother’s neighborhood in South Jordan for trick or treating.

We celebrated my Dad’s birthday at the beginning of the month and went to dinner at Hires. I can’t believe I didn’t take any pictures, but with a 2 year old around, you barely have time to eat!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-J3FUhhcCQLc/VE_6tZ6PkEI/AAAAAAAAHBU/eW6TKWzk3K8/s1600-h/IMG_40662.jpg"><img title="IMG_4066" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4066" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Wl7TSW7pRT4/VE_6t3BcI8I/AAAAAAAAHBc/05JkWr6rpJQ/IMG_4066_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> We went to the state fair and my mom joined us. It <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ia2ciS_DHu8/VE_6uZyDw9I/AAAAAAAAHBg/DxFMZwNj4mw/s1600-h/IMG_40582.jpg">was pretty fun, but Owen wasn’t happy about sitting in his stroller so Dan mostly held him the whole time. He did like the animals a lot and it was fun to see all the “interesting” people!<img title="IMG_4058" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4058" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-rvKaJIxGQXU/VE_6ugRco2I/AAAAAAAAHBo/UYqP3MA-5Co/IMG_4058_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_svKw1Wam6c/VE_6vFkJtNI/AAAAAAAAHBw/rFHyMvATsgs/s1600-h/IMG_40612.jpg"><img title="IMG_4061" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4061" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-f204klwEa9o/VE_6vqVggNI/AAAAAAAAHB4/h_mFEUttfMo/IMG_4061_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> Dan wore his buffalo shirt and got a turkey leg. He fit right in! Below Owen wanted to ride the horses, but freaked out when it actually came time to ride and he wouldn’t get on! We were ticked that we paid $5 but Dan is a champ and asked for our money back and they gave it to us! Hurray!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--VMGe3HkxCw/VE_6v1dZcPI/AAAAAAAAHCA/_OABrQNIwG0/s1600-h/IMG_40632.jpg"><img title="IMG_4063" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4063" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wMugVRf4wAM/VE_6wZfyrhI/AAAAAAAAHCI/7S2OdoBy2WU/IMG_4063_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> We took a few trips up the canyon to enjoy the pretty colors and Owen had fun throwing rocks.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-mw3T0bSiaZY/VE_6x-qXKDI/AAAAAAAAHCU/X56708W-eQg/s1600-h/IMG_40372.jpg"><img title="IMG_4037" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4037" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ofc6AQmua0g/VE_6yZWnoQI/AAAAAAAAHCc/hIjRDsiKDFY/IMG_4037_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-4nZmZYOsjlo/VE_6y1OpT1I/AAAAAAAAHCg/hmdCPueHCuo/s1600-h/IMG_40302.jpg"><img title="IMG_4030" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4030" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/--9RjdycpXB8/VE_6zchBt6I/AAAAAAAAHCs/x4gaIqOE6Qw/IMG_4030_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-N1Rd8io9_sM/VE_6zynfU4I/AAAAAAAAHC0/Zson8c7rJNM/s1600-h/IMG_40352.jpg"><img title="IMG_4035" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4035" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-7wQnCc4aiTQ/VE_60lAKYOI/AAAAAAAAHC8/0F5UGFgBmoo/IMG_4035_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> I sure love these cute boys of mine.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-YvUZ61KmQig/VE_61I0P1cI/AAAAAAAAHDE/bhT2koiYtfg/s1600-h/IMG_40362.jpg"><img title="IMG_4036" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4036" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-5_s8bZ3xW-s/VE_616lXr7I/AAAAAAAAHDI/lfi40lnoMBI/IMG_4036_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> Owen found Dan’s hat and put it on and surprisingly left it on for quite a while!

He doesn’t hold still for long, but I love that he loves books!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-RYAWSHoQv1Y/VE_62xGSk4I/AAAAAAAAHDg/ZzvyxFdgpx8/s1600-h/IMG_40122.jpg"><img title="IMG_4012" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4012" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CLwXv1pkm_Y/VE_63dvksiI/AAAAAAAAHDo/vfgHgNSd7mY/IMG_4012_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p><img title="IMG_4099" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4099" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-fyrFDOFzTRM/VE_63yNyyMI/AAAAAAAAHDw/-lL-0nacnN8/IMG_4099_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="336"></p> <p>We had several dump trucks full of topsoil delivered to our house, along with a ton of gravel. It was the day of our neighborhood party which was in our circle, so our dirt pile became the entertainment for the kids! We didn’t mind, but I felt bad for the parents who had filthy kids to clean up! Dan also borrowed a skid skeer to move the rocks and dirt and Owen was in heaven! My mom took him Saturday and we worked our butts off and got tons done. It was such hard work and so hot, but our yard looks amazing! We added gravel on the side for a parking strip, and raised up all our garden beds with topsoil.</p> <p> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-dp4piTKXgZU/VE_64Gq8paI/AAAAAAAAHD4/GXjJ1Ki24Lc/s1600-h/IMG_41102.jpg"><img title="IMG_4110" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4110" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-wB_0AeYS8L4/VE_64iVKZ_I/AAAAAAAAHEE/jhcyUU9Rvys/IMG_4110_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p></p> <p>We went up the canyon with some KFC and roasted s’mores. We didn’t realize that we had to reserve the sites at this place, and the lady made us pay 20 bucks to have a fire for a few hours! We were ticked, but the fire was still fun.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CahogNOO6Fk/VE_65J1d90I/AAAAAAAAHEI/nE7iW8KTqXw/s1600-h/IMG_4140%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4140" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4140" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-pK5_6WwJ9mo/VE_65slMOaI/AAAAAAAAHEQ/z5sKV6Ppke0/IMG_4140_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="336"></a> Owen loved throwing rocks in the river! I can’t remember if it was on this trip up the canyon, but he barfed on the way home. He gets carsick like me, yay! Our most recent carsick adventure was driving 15 minutes to my in-laws and he puked right before we got there. Grossest ever. Poor kid.</p> <p><img title="IMG_4152" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4152" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-6qoNvktcb5M/VE_66PkEvzI/AAAAAAAAHEc/VTIDESJsASU/IMG_4152_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"><img title="IMG_4142" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4142" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-v9lWIcK7JiI/VE_66q3oBTI/AAAAAAAAHEg/_iK261ZWPNs/IMG_4142_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4xHEEhb1Z7Y/VE_67D5rF_I/AAAAAAAAHEo/Ozhzp6JK5pY/s1600-h/IMG_41192.jpg"><img title="IMG_4119" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4119" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-pqkzbhXnEYc/VE_67T4awKI/AAAAAAAAHE0/sEqyZcRZhLU/IMG_4119_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p> I love these two pictures. Owen just takes off wherever we go and loves to explore everything. He is so much fun!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-DnTzmT-5PZ8/VE_68H-H8CI/AAAAAAAAHE8/5MVrpbXSm2g/s1600-h/IMG_41472.jpg"><img title="IMG_4147" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4147" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-NpPRNbEZgRg/VE_68kwKyXI/AAAAAAAAHFE/CEosNRjVmcA/IMG_4147_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> We have been going to story time at the library almost every week and Owen loves it! The first time he was a little hesitant, but now he loves Tami, and knows the words to the songs. It is so cute and fun and I love going with him.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Md8b6YZjss0/VE_69NfkYfI/AAAAAAAAHFI/UXTr1xRvQRk/s1600-h/IMG_4132%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><u></u><img title="IMG_4132" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4132" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-2wmnG7mz9RQ/VE_69kshjTI/AAAAAAAAHFQ/wT1JxXi9cmE/IMG_4132_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="336"></a> The picture below is really dark but I love it. Dan took it without me knowing and I was reading to Owen before bed. He was sitting on my legs and listening really carefully to the story. I think the book was “Owen” and it’s adorable and about a little mouse named Owen who loves his blanket (very familiary!). He loves it and is getting so big and will listen to books a lot now. He will ask to rock a bye with mommy and wants me to read to him.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Eu-G_JQ2jPA/VE_694NYIYI/AAAAAAAAHFY/2qZrqbn5XbY/s1600-h/IMG_41592.jpg"><img title="IMG_4159" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4159" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-hRsUwY6e0eg/VE_6-ZHdSEI/AAAAAAAAHFk/bJye2T8OELk/IMG_4159_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p>Owen loves taking baths in the “tubby” and of course has to bring half his toys with him. I let him take things that won’t get ruined and I was laughing when he started drinking water from his tractor. Funny kid.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-8Qdfr__0kVQ/VE_6-sXr8RI/AAAAAAAAHFo/NN1Rn4B0In4/s1600-h/IMG_4162%25255B1%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4162" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4162" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-vkfwGR1mK9s/VE_6_KipDTI/AAAAAAAAHFw/NhDvttAbK-I/IMG_4162_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a> He had two big falls on the same day and scratched up his face and got a goose egg on his forehead. It looked like he was in a car accident or something! He got a lot of pity from people and he was fine, but it was sad to see his cute face scraped up!</p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-o7VVvMu2zuw/VE_6_kY_2VI/AAAAAAAAHF4/a3eGBwCFL2I/s1600-h/IMG_41702.jpg"><img title="IMG_4170" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_4170" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--18ZWVPGWK8/VE_7AEbIkAI/AAAAAAAAHGA/FhDOP-YD4l8/IMG_4170_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> Haley Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895423949573872264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570831208357349653.post-38122894732206266742014-09-12T15:04:00.001-06:002014-09-12T15:04:04.406-06:00August<p>We started August by FINALLY going to the temple together! We haven’t been in a long time and we are working on switching with some friends every month so we can go more often! We have never been to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and it was gorgeous.

He loved the shutter/clicker sound and I had to keep a few of the cute pics he took of himself!</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-BhLXq4kyA4g/VBNfnfkxnUI/AAAAAAAAG-Y/oacuvTG7_sc/s1600-h/IMG_3887%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_3887" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3887" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-K9MyIvSQWVU/VBNfn2OGf7I/AAAAAAAAG-c/FgVgGm21BAI/IMG_3887_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-hWIv-rpyj1k/VBNfoU9IVPI/AAAAAAAAG-k/O-QSSHykOnk/s1600-h/IMG_3883%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_3883" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3883" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-0aGLw1_r5GI/VBNfo8VohtI/AAAAAAAAG-s/xtootfqeGx0/IMG_3883_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a><img title="IMG_3909" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3909" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-wRticA8yqEw/VBNfpbCAhAI/AAAAAAAAG-4/4tZuhaFxvCk/IMG_3909_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></p> <p>We love jumping on the tramp around here and I love that these pictures show our awesome fence that Dan put up! He did it all by himself (with some help from his dad) and it looks great! He worked so hard in the heat and got it up quickly so that we didn’t lose our home insurance (tramp with no fence = no coverage boo!). We love it and it’s so nice to send Owen back there and know that he can’t escape! We have an empty lot next to us so it’s going to be nice when someone builds there as well.</p> <p><img title="IMG_3912" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3912" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-m-rAd_PES3Q/VBNfp_BVSvI/AAAAAAAAG-8/tVn8Rs1bZxs/IMG_3912_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"> </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>Cute boys at church! Owen has been a bit of a pill in nursery so that has been a struggle.

He loves to pretend to drive things and will sit in a car or truck for hours driving if we let him. He recently started saying “drivin’ the library”! I love how he has started to pretend! He was in heaven when we went to Home Depot and they had riding mowers out front. Taking him off was another story…<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-sjgEoFmVMkY/VBNfrYhQS-I/AAAAAAAAG_U/cCtTjpPTLss/s1600-h/IMG_3918%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_3918" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3918" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-x_sX1XavCno/VBNfr26LQWI/AAAAAAAAG_c/g3fQ0oIuyRU/IMG_3918_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a></p> <p>I got to go to the season opener U of U game with Julie and Everett and we had a blast. I almost didn’t go, but I’m so glad that I did! I got a bit teary walking into that stadium and thinking about the hundreds of games we attended while growing up. My dad was a HUGE fan and I couldn’t stop thinking of him the whole night. I even parked on the street he grew up on! He would have loved it and I’m so glad I got to cheer on my Utes!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NABm2ygaMmg/VBNfsnr1rUI/AAAAAAAAG_o/UJRpMVjpDIo/s1600-h/IMG_3952%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_3952" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3952" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-nChYw87D6jk/VBNftLY_3-I/AAAAAAAAG_w/U5AwH7D-u5Y/IMG_3952_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a> On Labor Day weekend, we went to Rockport again with some of Dan’s family.

It was nice and hot in the afternoon and he loved playing in the mud and water. He didn’t care to ride the waverunners, but had a blast digging and playing with his cousins.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Jv3sh8GCVC0/VBNfuxGS0EI/AAAAAAAAHAE/yzzsXxlhMDU/s1600-h/IMG_3966%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_3966" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3966" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-OoVuDGDoU3A/VBNfvRT70nI/AAAAAAAAHAQ/YE1D5jzpCgA/IMG_3966_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a> These two just chillin after church one day. Owen just adores Danny and follows him everywhere. Dan is such a good dad and plays with Owen as much as possible. They are just the best ever and it’s amazing how two people can be my entire life.

We took off on Wednesday around 2 and we headed up. Owen did really well in the car and we made a few short stops (including seeing the animals on the wall at Sportsman’s Warehouse in Logan) before making it to Garden City. </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Jsm_WeloyLU/VA8b-L8OYeI/AAAAAAAAG5s/91QwxOPwd5w/s1600-h/IMG_37542.jpg"><img title="IMG_3754" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3754" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-swJhXd7LGUQ/VA8b-vWIyPI/AAAAAAAAG50/XpLCNVg9RrU/IMG_3754_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p>My awesome mom had rented a cabin for all of us and it turned out to be great! It was about 1/4 mile away from the main Marina on the east side of the lake and it was huge. We had plenty of room for everyone and it was great because Owen had his own room. We got settled and I made some dinner while we waited for my mom to arrive. <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-xzzILcQw1Ik/VA8b_dYouUI/AAAAAAAAG54/jw9xATZGRGE/s1600-h/IMG_37572.jpg"><img title="IMG_3757" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3757" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-9KWas3Ket-M/VA8b__5HfEI/AAAAAAAAG6E/1VLbIvrytFw/IMG_3757_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p>We checked out the pool and even though it was evening and pretty chilly, Owen was in heaven. He loved swimming with Dan!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-C7eI6Z0J6mQ/VA8cAR12_WI/AAAAAAAAG6I/BN4Fr62gzg8/s1600-h/IMG_37592.jpg"><img title="IMG_3759" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3759" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-HfBZfXgOjX0/VA8cBERc6lI/AAAAAAAAG6U/3Mov_1PzznY/IMG_3759_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p>Steph and Andrew didn’t make it until Thursday, so we went with my mom down to the water for a bit on Thursday and Owen and Dan threw some rocks. It was a bit cold for him, so we didn’t last too long! </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-K0qOiaGWHzc/VA8cBi6G3XI/AAAAAAAAG6c/43390onUqnI/s1600-h/IMG_37632.jpg"><img title="IMG_3763" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3763" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gYdZ57YLNTU/VA8cCP3v9rI/AAAAAAAAG6g/aAKowNWgbto/IMG_3763_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p>We did a lot of eating (my mom brought enough food for the Army….) and relaxing. There was a big deck on the cabin with a great view of the lake and we spent some time out there. Owen had fun exploring and did really well sleeping, which was a relief. </p> <p><img title="IMG_3764" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3764" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-8kkKDJFZjFI/VA8cCm3C5AI/AAAAAAAAG6s/CbagozwThVA/IMG_3764_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></p> <p>We checked out a park one day and Owen loved the swings of course!

But luckily he is tough and didn’t complain much and still had fun with us. He was resting and Owen had to be right there with him. Cutest.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-e_j9oCkVPVg/VA8cD8HlsnI/AAAAAAAAG68/bRC_Ly_D5uc/s1600-h/IMG_37763.jpg"><img title="IMG_3776" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3776" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-sQdKit39IGo/VA8cEV-C2eI/AAAAAAAAG7E/8pLKSuWBPAs/IMG_3776_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a></p> <p>On Friday we got up and headed to the west side of the lake to Nancy’s “cabin” (not really a cabin, just an awesome house!) She is in my mom’s ward and I grew up with her as my young women’s advisor. I just loved her and spent a few times at her house at the lake in high school. She invited us over for the day and we had a BLAST. We were all dying at her awesome property and all the amazing toys they have!</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-qdcL4sBX6hE/VA8cFLA68hI/AAAAAAAAG7M/XzbubPRDLgs/s1600-h/IMG_37812.jpg"><img title="IMG_3781" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3781" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-cU2-4RGd9Rk/VA8cFrKYXSI/AAAAAAAAG7Q/-OHoLzzOX54/IMG_3781_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p>Casey had a big tractor to launch the boats and Owen loved watching it. Of course he wanted to drive the boat and tried to get in the driver’s seat any chance he got!</p> <p><img title="IMG_3790" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3790" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-UpfDafMZQHM/VA8cGBgafWI/AAAAAAAAG7Y/ZbITr_FZeGE/IMG_3790_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></p> <p>We did some wakeboarding and luckily I had a wetsuit!

He is such a cutie pie and really loved the ride! He loved the water and kept jumping off the back of the boat. Steph and I were laughing because it was so stinkin cute. He would jump off then sort of panic as I pulled him back to the boat, then immediately jump back in once he was out of the water!</p> <p><img title="IMG_3799" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3799" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-oiG-Pq8rxrw/VA8cH4WcidI/AAAAAAAAG78/Fr635d8CHI8/IMG_3799_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Vb8cYDUKZag/VA8cIl4K83I/AAAAAAAAG8E/RVG3zl4hxRw/s1600-h/IMG_37913.jpg"><img title="IMG_3791" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3791" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Hr2_u9GgDmo/VA8cJc_cuUI/AAAAAAAAG8M/4yl50mh6Nw0/IMG_3791_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_E0x-WUWo5k/VA8cJ4kqIUI/AAAAAAAAG8Q/jn59TnUGYDM/s1600-h/IMG_38372.jpg"><img title="IMG_3837" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3837" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4Yldz7CkxU0/VA8cKoD9RBI/AAAAAAAAG8Y/1y4AiLzdZ_c/IMG_3837_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a></p> <p>They had so many fun toys to play with and the house was right on the beach so it was perfect!

We got moved into our new house, which was very annoying and stressful and overwhelming. Moving is the worst. But we are so happy to be in our new place and we just love it! It is amazing to be so close to everyone!</p> <p>We went to Rockport with a lot of Dan’s family on the 4th for some water fun. Dave has waverunners so we had fun with those after a big breakfast. Some of the family camped, but we opted to drive up and meet everyone after a good night’s sleep!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-mET4KpbcKak/U-uAhT-7vXI/AAAAAAAAGw4/03BtTm6VZQk/s1600-h/IMG_3547%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_3547" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3547" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-fydElUFJuOA/U-uAiX8JWDI/AAAAAAAAGw8/7-zizk6UO6c/IMG_3547_thumb%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a> Owen wasn’t a huge fan of the water and didn’t play in it much, but he loved driving the waverunners (or at least sitting on them pretending to drive). </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-dm16qj7kctE/U-uAjCca7UI/AAAAAAAAGxI/Ma0TK3I5n5U/s1600-h/IMG_3544%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_3544" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3544" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-PGw-waoSci8/U-uAjoyeR5I/AAAAAAAAGxQ/7HvAGw3GpZg/IMG_3544_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a> Papa took him and Ryan on a little spin and Owen was in heaven!</p> <p><img title="IMG_3551" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3551" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-JxWMQAF-CVk/U-uAk4zv31I/AAAAAAAAGxU/rxoNtJX-LgU/IMG_3551_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></p> <p>We tried getting him to nap in Debbie and Marty’s RV, but he wasn’t having it.

I was so ticked and disgusted by how much was wasted as I threw away all our condiments and fridge items. Luckily it was fairly empty since we were gone, but all the staples had to be tossed, then we had to go spend over $100 to restock the basics. We have hated that fridge since we moved in because it’s weirdly too small for the space and doesn’t have a place to get cold water, but now we really hate it!

We went even though we’re not employees! It was really fun and there were food trucks, bounce houses, a petting zoo, games, etc. It was really awesome and fun and Owen just loved petting the animals. Strangely he didn’t want to ride the horses even though he rode on one about 2 months ago.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-qWYrzl3zJIY/U-uBK_eGvrI/AAAAAAAAG3k/tCAH86OyEuY/s1600-h/IMG_3739%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_3739" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3739" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Lhr4KCBfe78/U-uBL3ZPtRI/AAAAAAAAG3w/MsNoFcGPqUA/IMG_3739_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="337"></a> </p> <p></p> <p>Owen came down with a pretty high fever and we still aren’t sure why, but I think it was teething. He had some molars come in and he was super tired and blazing hot. He just wanted to sleep with Dan or I holding him. Tylenol brought the fever down, but it would wear off and he would be hot again. We geared up for a rough night, but he slept 13 hours and was better the next day! What a relief! He has never been sick in his whole life so we really weren’t sure what to do. Sick babies are the worst.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-7e-Cwsqjnvs/U-uBM522RvI/AAAAAAAAG34/7tdpquRBT2A/s1600-h/IMG_3743%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_3743" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_3743" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-WgMRfPuLFGI/U-uBNjZppXI/AAAAAAAAG4A/wvArS8aoENo/IMG_3743_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="467"></a> Brioney turned 2 and they had a fun water party at their house in West Haven. There were pools and a sprinkler under the tramp.

It still felt so familiar and I swear if I walked inside, it would look exactly like it used to before we moved. It’s a very weird feeling to make so many memories and move from a place you love. We love our new house though and are excited to continue to make it our own. It feels very comfortable now and we are happy that we found it!</p> Haley Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895423949573872264noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570831208357349653.post-90081511733591095192014-07-09T10:50:00.001-06:002014-07-09T10:50:42.110-06:00June!<p> June has been pretty crazy for us. I can’t believe everything that happened during that one month. We got back from our trip to California and only had a few days to finish packing up our house to move out! We had done a lot of decluttering and started the process, but we worked really hard every night to get stuff packed up and organized. </p> <p>We had an issue with the U-Haul the night before (they “lost” our reservation and there were no more trucks! WHAT?!), so we had to have someone pick up a truck in West Jordan and drive it up to us on Saturday morning. That set us back a little, but we moved almost everything into the front yard while we waited for the truck to arrive.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-5mQPa7blB58/U71yY-YneuI/AAAAAAAAGqo/R-q0S0IIHCM/s1600-h/IMG_33413.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3341" border="0" alt="IMG_3341" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-y9RuTypwrT4/U71yZorePuI/AAAAAAAAGqw/aqUwOGU-6u0/IMG_3341_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>It was pretty nuts and overwhelming, but we barely got everything into the moving truck and all the other vehicles and got on the road. I took a few pictures as I walked through my empty house and cried a little bit. It was very sad to leave the home we loved so much and I didn’t know where we would end up yet. </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-3VR65J1_qGc/U71yaWIiviI/AAAAAAAAGq4/-L_W2jETk4Q/s1600-h/IMG_33424.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3342" border="0" alt="IMG_3342" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-0D-ORf0oNUY/U71ybPT0NlI/AAAAAAAAGrA/raPr1A1fdnk/IMG_3342_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>I have so many memories of Owen’s sweet room. It was the terrible purple and green fairy room for a long time, and then we spent so much time painting, and getting his room ready while I was pregnant. And then we brought Owen here and I spent a lot of nights rocking and feeding him in here. Lots of good memories.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-isKllRrGsqc/U71ybllQZ7I/AAAAAAAAGrE/Kdjee_hXcuc/s1600-h/IMG_33813.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3381" border="0" alt="IMG_3381" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-nGBajsrFOTE/U71ychCOBxI/AAAAAAAAGrQ/ht_xzCewkts/IMG_3381_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>We got to my mom’s house and had to fit everything from our 2600 sq foot house into her garage and basement family room. I was shocked that it all fit. It looked like an episode of hoarders, but we got all the big furniture stuff in the garage and boxes in the basement. We were able to have our rooms, bathroom, and couch area free, which was nice. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-gRl22UOS7Cg/U71ydqywhNI/AAAAAAAAGrY/QgoCSlRQzZE/s1600-h/IMG_33554.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3355" border="0" alt="IMG_3355" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-jxmE4_s4Yt0/U71yeHxZkRI/AAAAAAAAGrg/1M0tjyWFKGc/IMG_3355_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We spent a month at my mom’s house, and looked for houses almost every day. Owen and I spent some time at the park in her neighborhood, which was fun. He got to know Grandma Phyllis really well (my dad’s mom who lives with my mom as well). He loved “furness” and would always try to get into her room. She loved having him around as well.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-sfAOlUII00E/U71ygGEW2tI/AAAAAAAAGro/dTRhN4JHWKw/s1600-h/IMG_3411.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3411" border="0" alt="IMG_3411" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Qnvkf_EeFJk/U71yghRmaWI/AAAAAAAAGrw/ArLTfR5TcS4/IMG_3411_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We made a few trips to local splash pads, as well as the good old West Jordan pool. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-uJYNITd6eXw/U71yhO3tKtI/AAAAAAAAGr4/wOsb_PVBUis/s1600-h/IMG_3352.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3352" border="0" alt="IMG_3352" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4eHPCwwuQgA/U71yh-pynqI/AAAAAAAAGsA/figkJA0GGYg/IMG_3352_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-uK4nuXVrdLg/U71yil6-oxI/AAAAAAAAGsI/UhTYgWQWpHw/s1600-h/IMG_3441.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3441" border="0" alt="IMG_3441" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bgWkKCO15AY/U71yjIdkVZI/AAAAAAAAGsQ/TFJL8GUp-fM/IMG_3441_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-M4MreCR_CqA/U71yj70aJxI/AAAAAAAAGsY/kob7b46C2EU/s1600-h/IMG_3379.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3379" border="0" alt="IMG_3379" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gf7G-HOfaHk/U71ykos7_tI/AAAAAAAAGsg/auzU0nCnyjg/IMG_3379_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We went to the library with grandma and Owen loved having her read to him.

I didn’t do that often, so he just looked like he had a mullet. We took the clippers to his hair and it looked really cute after! My mom and sister weren’t happy.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ibEa3Pagayk/U71ymvwWDlI/AAAAAAAAGs4/8sWU_MSf4Zw/s1600-h/IMG_33763.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3376" border="0" alt="IMG_3376" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-jq4cbQDo8bE/U71ynHENuqI/AAAAAAAAGtA/KwWxE2NlrHA/IMG_3376_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="374" height="374"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-KH3W91Bq0Mc/U71yn_DqCVI/AAAAAAAAGtI/JT-mdi4QjpY/s1600-h/IMG_33895.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3389" border="0" alt="IMG_3389" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YPae0ugRi2U/U71yokqkRgI/AAAAAAAAGtM/xx4mQjQ4L00/IMG_3389_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>After looking every day for homes, we found a house in Herriman! It happened pretty quickly and we were able to close and get moved in this week! It is perfect for us and we are so excited. It’s less than 15 minutes to my mom’s house, close to shopping, food, etc, but still really “farmy” feeling. We have pastures behind our house that are full of cows, and the mountain views are awesome. The house is in great shape (except for the yard), but we have a list a mile long of projects we are planning. I can’t wait to get unpacked and settled so we can get started!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-iPjDLkYhsBk/U71ypCxDm2I/AAAAAAAAGtU/p09RGUV-2zc/s1600-h/IMG_34253.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3425" border="0" alt="IMG_3425" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-PZTgqeLOMNk/U71ypoGAl0I/AAAAAAAAGtc/0QcXFJdLbOw/IMG_3425_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>This child loves the water and was running through the hose while we watered my mom’s flowers. It was a little chilly but he didn’t mind at all! Just another way he is exactly like his dad.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-PM3PJiSIfbU/U71yqaiotWI/AAAAAAAAGto/QGG6f1nz4RA/s1600-h/IMG_3452.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3452" border="0" alt="IMG_3452" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Of53_593WBA/U71yq4XLOoI/AAAAAAAAGtw/hjCnxph4juI/IMG_3452_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We were able to go to a fun birthday party for Danny’s grandpa (Papa). He turned 80 and there were tons of people there. People came from out of town and it was a blast. Dan’s Aunt Julie makes awesome cakes and made this one with all of Papa’s favorite foods-“war cake”, pickles, corn on the cob, beans, hot dogs, and dots! It was amazing!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-VHkehJ7oY4E/U71yrpORxjI/AAAAAAAAGt4/7Ygo-8Da8Cw/s1600-h/IMG_3495.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3495" border="0" alt="IMG_3495" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-nFVA4nvYm_g/U71ysMzi4EI/AAAAAAAAGuA/f-GXQiwHMTw/IMG_3495_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>I love this picture of these boys!

That place is the BEST. My cousin and his family live in Logan so we meet there a lot. Emma is about a year or so older than Owen, but he is about as big as her! They are the cutest!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-AMaWtKaPfss/U71ywOSpQ3I/AAAAAAAAGuo/xwZc7U2Y9iM/s1600-h/IMG_3481.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3481" border="0" alt="IMG_3481" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-idEwiQ_qAYg/U71ywtkc07I/AAAAAAAAGuw/fr8_6DHvFXY/IMG_3481_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We started taking Owen to nursery a few weeks early when we went to my mom’s ward. He cried when we would leave so we went back and forth and would stay with him sometimes. It wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t great either. The last week we were there, he stayed the whole time and when we came back, he was asleep on the floor! So funny. They said he was fine then fell asleep right before church ended. What a doll.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-eUGDRN17uWo/U71yxeIuUFI/AAAAAAAAGu4/Gy9ulD6Bwqc/s1600-h/IMG_3501.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3501" border="0" alt="IMG_3501" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-de68-4jzvgI/U71yyPJMygI/AAAAAAAAGvA/nDDgACi-dD0/IMG_3501_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Dan ran the Wasatch Back Ragnar at the end of June and I opted out this year. I have done it a lot and did it last year, but I just wasn’t interested this year. I have never loved running, but it was fun to run a few races. After seeing the team at the finish line, I did not regret my decision <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Eg_CbQGJrEc/U71yyohOaLI/AAAAAAAAGvI/9DWEwVnYFYU/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800"></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-w_UoCFGka6A/U71yzR6v1kI/AAAAAAAAGvQ/hT4C0knoKhM/s1600-h/IMG_3517.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3517" border="0" alt="IMG_3517" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KOGRtWMasOI/U71yz6nx0bI/AAAAAAAAGvY/rW6GYyPhG30/IMG_3517_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We got to see Dan finish his last leg and then cross the finish line with the team.

Dan and I took the picture below in our new house. The picture above was almost 5 years ago when we found out we got our house in West Point. Funny to see how much we have changed!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-_3xTqEEXEaI/U71y3P7ZpbI/AAAAAAAAGwA/CQHgc2wkOxo/s1600-h/IMG_35295.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3529" border="0" alt="IMG_3529" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-gt5AHmXnSJY/U71y374YK6I/AAAAAAAAGwE/dwvnWcpFypk/IMG_3529_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>June was another great month and a good start to summer. We are so grateful for my amazing mom to let us take over her house and stay there. It was really fun to be around family so much and I loved how much Owen loves my mom! We took advantage of having her and we were able to put Owen to bed and then leave sometimes for errands. It was so nice to have her help and she is the best for putting up with us! Now we are only 15 minutes away!</p> Haley Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895423949573872264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570831208357349653.post-8280981657802985812014-06-11T16:15:00.001-06:002014-06-11T16:15:47.581-06:00California Trip<p>We were able to drive to California over Memorial Day to see my family. My mom grew up there and so a lot of my family is still out there. We stayed with my aunt and uncle, who are the BEST hosts ever. They have so much yummy food, a nice comfortable house, and they are just lots of fun!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Q3XQPUNGkR4/U5iyjYJNfcI/AAAAAAAAGhs/y9v_BeDKNbE/s1600-h/IMG_31164.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3116" border="0" alt="IMG_3116" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-v-t5RBTsKho/U5iykkZBmjI/AAAAAAAAGh0/PPUyMOXQBN8/IMG_3116_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We left on Tuesday afternoon and drove most of the way there. We stayed in Reno, which is only a few hours from my family, but it was nice to break up the trip and have a nice place to stay for the night. I got a picture of the beautiful Utah Tree. My dad always made the biggest deal when we would pass this when we would drive to California. Pretty weird.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kobQEZLYTRw/U5iylYhBU9I/AAAAAAAAGh8/egQCSf4zQH0/s1600-h/IMG_31174.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3117" border="0" alt="IMG_3117" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-l6PkfNSoWmA/U5iymKJzvqI/AAAAAAAAGiE/MJPMwxcHMBk/IMG_3117_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We got to Lodi around noon and Owen was stoked to see Indy in the backyard. She is the best dog ever and so patient and nice. Owen just adored her.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-m7AHNfeKTis/U5iynNtuc5I/AAAAAAAAGiM/pIck6T-XhHI/s1600-h/IMG_31244.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3124" border="0" alt="IMG_3124" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-pU3vfYdWa9g/U5iyoJjRFTI/AAAAAAAAGiU/m3VYkNAkqaA/IMG_3124_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We had lunch with my uncle and then headed over to say hi to my grandma. She lives at a nice retirement center right by my uncle. It is one of the least child-friendly places on earth with old people everywhere and breakable things, but we managed to do okay. And Owen cuddled right up to my grandma, it was pretty adorable.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-hIw1Hu1UWq0/U5iyozFRxwI/AAAAAAAAGic/q6-YSxwcmw8/s1600-h/IMG_31374.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3137" border="0" alt="IMG_3137" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-k6Jfu2MOOXM/U5iyp-tWI0I/AAAAAAAAGik/BpvWCXd9JfM/IMG_3137_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-HN4QMFPKnog/U5iyqkwun9I/AAAAAAAAGis/B0tNdxzqazQ/s1600-h/IMG_31284.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3128" border="0" alt="IMG_3128" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-HOsHScYAF2Y/U5iyrpx2eqI/AAAAAAAAGi0/Wm-_nsRsg3g/IMG_3128_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Keith and Karen made some awesome dinners while we were there, including homemade fried chicken.

He took a day or two to warm up but he did really well. Luckily he slept great and took two naps a day a few times! </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-eOYA9AWK2Vk/U5iyxErntNI/AAAAAAAAGjc/W-TreFDic_A/s1600-h/IMG_31424.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3142" border="0" alt="IMG_3142" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-M930dM8MmI4/U5iyx8JwGCI/AAAAAAAAGjk/D3TDfbqP-pM/IMG_3142_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>They turned on the sprinklers after dinner one night and Owen just ran right in and loved it. It was hilarious an he didn’t even mind the cold water. He loved it and just kept running around and pushing his bus right in the water.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-DvP1OflJVrU/U5iyy2lTCBI/AAAAAAAAGjs/45aNBEVkRVw/s1600-h/IMG_32224.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3222" border="0" alt="IMG_3222" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-tucqqxfwMXA/U5iyz_nfTDI/AAAAAAAAGj0/IcX42r9qRj0/IMG_3222_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Those curls are my favorite.

We were going to go to the beach, but decided against it because of a lot of likely traffic with the holiday weekend. It just wasn’t worth sitting in the car for 4 hours with Owen. Big Trees was less than 2 hours and no traffic and it was great!</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-75QKS5TxSjs/U5iy20PSEZI/AAAAAAAAGkM/7L3Nh0SzJvM/s1600-h/IMG_31724.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3172" border="0" alt="IMG_3172" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Pt1iNUE8DeI/U5iy3rVhi9I/AAAAAAAAGkU/3FCe9nb9Otc/IMG_3172_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>The trees really were big.

It wasn’t busy at all and it was nice and cool with all the shade. Owen loved wandering around and we just took our time.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-afn4AFQz-6M/U5iy9f4I10I/AAAAAAAAGk8/0YeMrPN4LeI/s1600-h/IMG_31924.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3192" border="0" alt="IMG_3192" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-fMOFkJX3gLs/U5jT5cwmx6I/AAAAAAAAGlM/U9Q3W-kVtVw/IMG_3192_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-HZDkIoq_3L8/U5jT6hM-ytI/AAAAAAAAGlU/OJc8QgxcDRg/s1600-h/IMG_31874.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3187" border="0" alt="IMG_3187" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-6MEEb2HPJZQ/U5jT7qlkLQI/AAAAAAAAGlc/yApaMr9Vp6I/IMG_3187_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3W9j85NOEbM/U5jT8rGzfbI/AAAAAAAAGlk/rJwasrFuVxk/s1600-h/IMG_31894.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3189" border="0" alt="IMG_3189" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-FyYg39dHbxU/U5jT9ffLInI/AAAAAAAAGls/CmAxTRbvPIU/IMG_3189_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-p_g_eBCUckQ/U5jT-bxNuKI/AAAAAAAAGl0/JSiaaWig1Bo/s1600-h/IMG_31774.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3177" border="0" alt="IMG_3177" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-IVPAeK0JMgU/U5jT_nT6tNI/AAAAAAAAGl8/_qkftteP8Oo/IMG_3177_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Owen gives Big Trees a thumbs up.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-p5CpOcLCSgE/U5jUA3yHn6I/AAAAAAAAGmE/UvO6-Q7HWlE/s1600-h/IMG_31984.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3198" border="0" alt="IMG_3198" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-MO-eNmoJ5TU/U5jUBgcDGuI/AAAAAAAAGmM/PH7k9XHpSYQ/IMG_3198_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Owen dozed off in the stroller while we were walking so we sat down on a bench and just relaxed.

It wasn’t crowded and it was perfect for little kids. Her boys are 3.5 and 1.5 so Owen had fun with them. The zoo was fun and we went to the petting zoo afterwards. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-AU1ufSyP3Kg/U5jUEycPxXI/AAAAAAAAGmk/iBHlkr6P244/s1600-h/IMG_32324.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3232" border="0" alt="IMG_3232" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-8PjQ1_vDXZo/U5jUFuEE0iI/AAAAAAAAGms/XqUOCWGJQ-w/IMG_3232_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Owen really liked the animals and they were pretty funny.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-80rAuYvk-Io/U5jUHMSyZZI/AAAAAAAAGm0/u_YH6kEY6aU/s1600-h/IMG_32354.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3235" border="0" alt="IMG_3235" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-rI9-KF2pX_w/U5jUIEOZfQI/AAAAAAAAGm8/Vuku7iKJQVU/IMG_3235_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>After the zoo we went to a little splash pad in the area and played for a little while.

It took him a few days to adjust to walking on it, but he was getting around just fine with it. We got the cast off after only 2 weeks and it wasn’t soon enough! Anyone in a cast is annoying, but an 18 month old was pretty tough. He was a little wobbly with it off, but was walking around just fine!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-dNoC_Y4u3LU/U5YLXV7h4WI/AAAAAAAAGdo/AbFtLbuZ1ts/s1600-h/IMG_30444.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3044" border="0" alt="IMG_3044" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-uwiqdfZGlJ8/U5YLYEYGPyI/AAAAAAAAGdw/1sGyMW_Q4o8/IMG_3044_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We went to baby animal days in Kaysville and Owen liked watching the bunnies but wasn’t interested in touching them and would get a little jumpy when they would hop around by him.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hctNkGi23cw/U5YLZF9Ru6I/AAAAAAAAGd4/PzcrwMhrDyE/s1600-h/IMG_30504.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3050" border="0" alt="IMG_3050" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-o1XiTMKTT3o/U5YLaPdHd7I/AAAAAAAAGeA/0IcCgF4ZqT0/IMG_3050_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-UwF4FbkFs_8/U5YLbHev6aI/AAAAAAAAGeI/HtPCsCz9jsg/s1600-h/IMG_30524.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3052" border="0" alt="IMG_3052" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-0s4YQjl3d_Y/U5YLcGB-O2I/AAAAAAAAGeQ/2EqX2Ej2McI/IMG_3052_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>He has always loved horses and dogs. He says “hissies” and “puppies” all.the.time. He also has a little stranger anxiety, so I didn’t know how he would do riding a horse without one of us right by him. He totally understood that he was going to see the horse, so he didn’t even look back and went with the lady and got right on the horse! We were so surprised but so happy to see him be totally fine with it! The best part was when he leaned forward and kept petting the horses neck! I just about died from cuteness.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-fUf6AYnEZ_U/U5YLdL2TGVI/AAAAAAAAGeY/4Ew9muYbWD0/s1600-h/IMG_30634.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3063" border="0" alt="IMG_3063" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-BiuQkeaDa2Y/U5YLd0FCFmI/AAAAAAAAGeg/MfRsXqiIiys/IMG_3063_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Looking great in our Sunday outfits after church.

I’m glad I got a pic before we moved!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-GXeDa9gqXtQ/U5YLpJEuxSI/AAAAAAAAGf4/FITqLZKMhcA/s1600-h/IMG_30894.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3089" border="0" alt="IMG_3089" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-QhqA0FdN2go/U5YM9PjKwbI/AAAAAAAAGgE/qyLKiWc68yI/IMG_3089_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>And these are our cutest little neighbors, Mia and Lou. They loved Owen so much and he just loved to go outside and play with them on the tramp or swing or wherever. He would yell “Mia!” as soon as he walked outside. Their older kids babysat Owen a lot and they were just the best neighbors ever! We already miss them so much! </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_ecVc8-PVBc/U5YM-80DxoI/AAAAAAAAGgM/-zc0Uv7p-_Q/s1600-h/IMG_31124.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3112" border="0" alt="IMG_3112" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3Qm-R_dA9Os/U5YNARKkc1I/AAAAAAAAGgU/kq3B253EYkM/IMG_3112_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We got one decent picture of Owen with Rebecca’s kids on his last day at their house. He had no idea it was his last time playing there, but I got pretty emotional because he just loves them. He says their names over and over all the time. I know he will miss them and seeing these cute kids play with Owen makes me want to have more kids! Staying with the Laws on Mondays was such a great place to leave Owen and he never cried or got upset when I left. I knew he was happy and having fun and I hope I can find some great people like this again!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-FSEfmYN4izA/U5YNB9uCcHI/AAAAAAAAGgc/07Zm7c7z5HE/s1600-h/IMG_31154.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3115" border="0" alt="IMG_3115" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-9zcuuauVo7k/U5YNDS2IdzI/AAAAAAAAGgk/81sRM98_wGA/IMG_3115_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We moved out of our home on the 31st and it was a crazy and sad day. Moving sucks. Really really bad. I never want to do it again. For so many reasons it is hard. We were very organized and everything was packed and ready, but we had some major hassles with the U haul (canceled reservation and no trucks available?!) which got us pretty ticked and stressed, but it worked out. Luckily we have amazing families who came to help us move all our stuff. We had so much stuff. We had even cleaned and de-cluttered before listing our home but with a big house full of furniture, work out equipment, washer, dryer, freezer, etc etc etc, it was nuts!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-m5Ko5f9StEU/U5YNFOsqraI/AAAAAAAAGgs/SoZR8FEzy6o/s1600-h/photo33.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="photo(3)" border="0" alt="photo(3)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Z3bCExUc_So/U5YNGdJHe6I/AAAAAAAAGg0/XpibFSxiXBY/photo3_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>They put it all on the grass then amazingly packed it into the back of the truck. I couldn’t believe it all fit and it just barely did. We loaded up the rest of our cars and headed to my mom’s house to unload. My sister in law took Owen which helped a ton, and I was the last one out of the house. I cried a few tears after walking through my empty home. We have so many wonderful memories there and did so much to make it our home. We put a lot of hard work there, and we brought Owen home there! We just love everything about it, except for the location! So it was very hard to drive away, especially not knowing yet where we would end up.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-xIJoWO9ewqQ/U5YNIonJ4pI/AAAAAAAAGg8/mFAKKUbrlK0/s1600-h/photo%2525201%2525282%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="photo 1(2)" border="0" alt="photo 1(2)" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-jnusHE1_O58/U5YNJ6smdfI/AAAAAAAAGhE/3dj_3aJU0bk/photo%2525201%2525282%252529_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wwC779eXPlI/U5YNLYpHX9I/AAAAAAAAGhM/fS4NJ4ka0Us/s1600-h/photo%2525203%2525282%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="photo 3(2)" border="0" alt="photo 3(2)" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Bs2FYtV8SOs/U5YNMkQItpI/AAAAAAAAGhU/wvnN5j9fgA4/photo%2525203%2525282%252529_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>Everyone worked SO hard to get things packed into my mom’s garage and basement. Andrew was the master tetris man and stacked boxes from floor to ceiling in the basement! The garage looks like an episode of Hoarders, but luckily it’s temporary. We are so grateful that my mom is letting us take over her home while we find a new house! We are so excited to be closer to family, but will definitely miss our old home. </p> Haley Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895423949573872264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570831208357349653.post-39809585078255763192014-05-27T10:20:00.001-06:002014-05-27T10:20:52.854-06:00St. George girls trip (plus Owen)<p>My mom and sister and I went to St. George a few weekends ago for a quick trip. We got a hotel room with two rooms so it made it a lot easier to bring Owen along! The drive was pretty long for such a quick trip, and the weather was terrible, but we still had lots of fun! Owen wouldn’t sleep in the crib so he ended up in bed with me. I kind of loved cuddling with him all night (but we won’t be doing that at home anytime soon!)</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-E7_6L37miME/U4S7DZ_nH3I/AAAAAAAAGZU/pqF-FnH7EC0/s1600-h/IMG_2955%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2955" border="0" alt="IMG_2955" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_3MK8PAe8zo/U4S7EKeBiTI/AAAAAAAAGZc/X-Um8_HIg8Y/IMG_2955_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>It was probably around 60 degrees and rainy on Saturday so we were all kind of ticked about that. But we found a park and when it wasn’t raining, we played with Owen and he loved it.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-5nofSshgEWg/U4S7FX4NivI/AAAAAAAAGZk/vC_fZPVpCYY/s1600-h/IMG_2964%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2964" border="0" alt="IMG_2964" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-a4wxTyuKyj8/U4S7GZSq3YI/AAAAAAAAGZs/n02aZxIZrQc/IMG_2964_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-HQqpTfMExcM/U4S7HX_Hi9I/AAAAAAAAGZ0/uZ-Hhe5E42o/s1600-h/IMG_2997%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2997" border="0" alt="IMG_2997" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-OpTcbGoETIY/U4S7IHOvlxI/AAAAAAAAGZ8/Q23wZxpowgA/IMG_2997_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="374" height="374"></a></p> <p>Owen had lots of fun with Grandma and Auntie Steph and he really loves them a lot!</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-G_irDrb7oF0/U4S7JCZNGnI/AAAAAAAAGaE/zJzxQs3aw1E/s1600-h/IMG_2957%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2957" border="0" alt="IMG_2957" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-we044VdvDHo/U4S7JxL3SDI/AAAAAAAAGaM/YjZZsWcLfxg/IMG_2957_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We also went to the children’s museum which was pretty great. I highly recommend it if you go to St. George and the weather isn’t great or just if you have time. Owe is pretty young, but he still loved it and there were a jillion kids there because of the rain.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-lf2PNWY_vJs/U4S7K9rCNHI/AAAAAAAAGaU/AsfCTcLTAR8/s1600-h/IMG_2968%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2968" border="0" alt="IMG_2968" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-twmGs5nwXQQ/U4S7Ln1bnnI/AAAAAAAAGac/JwFxGSEELi8/IMG_2968_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>There were several different rooms and lots to do. He was in love with the shopping cart and just wanted to push it around everywhere.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-djfbPkzr1VE/U4S7M1fACDI/AAAAAAAAGak/5ypulcNYvMA/s1600-h/IMG_2970%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2970" border="0" alt="IMG_2970" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-HgY3QRsNQzs/U4S7NiC8VxI/AAAAAAAAGas/4bMbfjjOHIY/IMG_2970_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Owen is absolutely in love with dogs and says “puppies” about 1 million times per day. He almost died of happiness when he saw this life-sized Dalmatian. He was frantically trying to pick it up and carry it but it was bigger than he was so he kept falling. But he was just saying puppies over and over. It was great.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-GJnPWBiNVko/U4S7OtZ8TOI/AAAAAAAAGa0/6fCxeVgufKw/s1600-h/IMG_2987%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2987" border="0" alt="IMG_2987" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-brGpUOumPDM/U4S7PsIjlDI/AAAAAAAAGa8/sxdj5pLzxXc/IMG_2987_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kutsmY-_6zI/U4S7QbdJH_I/AAAAAAAAGbE/BucCyUyrEm4/s1600-h/IMG_2981%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2981" border="0" alt="IMG_2981" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-AI8Df15DS-c/U4S7RZYU8uI/AAAAAAAAGbM/ePENJAhkFKI/IMG_2981_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>He also loved the computer. I think he must watch me type a lot because he knew exactly what to do and was moving his little fingers super fast on the keyboard and kept sliding the mouse around, just like I do! It was adorable.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-iUGn6jJ_N10/U4S7SbtFvYI/AAAAAAAAGbU/DP5RuGhDO7A/s1600-h/IMG_2974%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2974" border="0" alt="IMG_2974" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-tWIXhr9HU2Q/U4S7TFggnfI/AAAAAAAAGbc/BGJNFRRYVMc/IMG_2974_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-u5VIHYVt-u0/U4S7Uo9sgoI/AAAAAAAAGbk/QjHsXRlgCCM/s1600-h/IMG_2991%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2991" border="0" alt="IMG_2991" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-5NsUGU2nMA8/U4S7Vbzpm8I/AAAAAAAAGbs/WQJlPV8hQgk/IMG_2991_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>Like I said, he slept with me and we both slept really well. He was taking a nap and I was laying by him and he woke up for a bit and crawled on top of me then fell back to sleep. He is hilarious. When I moved him, he was cuddling in the position above. He is just the cutest.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-l_qsqbyG2mc/U4S7WEVEnxI/AAAAAAAAGb0/ghsK9GKB8AQ/s1600-h/IMG_2990%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2990" border="0" alt="IMG_2990" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Jq8OhowhaeA/U4S7WkbD6SI/AAAAAAAAGb8/7R9lnbbP1J0/IMG_2990_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="280" height="374"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ZyOoEkJlnB8/U4S7Xy3WnOI/AAAAAAAAGcE/WycnGR2_zKo/s1600-h/IMG_2998%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2998" border="0" alt="IMG_2998" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Wze684gYr-8/U4S7Yg87-BI/AAAAAAAAGcM/9ExT1ubBSec/IMG_2998_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>Not the best picture of me, but one picture I got at Pizza Factory. It was delish, but Owen didn’t feel like sitting in his chair so we wandered around the place!</p> <p>We had a fun trip together and I just love hanging out with my mama and sissy! And Owen of course!</p> Haley Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895423949573872264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570831208357349653.post-58795207812957082342014-05-09T12:25:00.001-06:002014-05-09T12:32:54.809-06:00April<p>April was fun and exciting as we started having some really warm days and getting a feel for summer around the corner! We started the month by listing our home for sale. We decided to list by owner and see what happened. We felt like we had some resources to help us with questions (Dan’s boss at work was hugely helpful, as well as our lender and our brother in law), and we did a lot of research as well. We did a lot of work to get it done and we posted it on KSL, Zillow, Facebook, etc. We emailed a bunch of realtors and of course, got tons of calls from realtors wanting to list it (I REALLY don’t like 99% of realtors ugh!). After 2 weeks of a little interest, we decided to lower the price because we knew it was a bit high. We dropped the price a bit and had a ton of interest, and ended up getting 2 offers in one day! It was basically the dream situation and we were able to get over asking price! We are now under contract and planning to move May 31! We will move to my mom’s house while we search for our new home. Exciting, but very bittersweet. I adore this house and it is perfect for us. The neighborhood and ward are exceptional and I am terrified I will never find this again. Hopefully Heavenly Father has big plans for us somewhere else and I will work on trusting Him!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-XPAZ823glvg/U20c2haxlvI/AAAAAAAAGRo/bCcmkyFaLVA/s1600-h/IMG_27624.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2762" border="0" alt="IMG_2762" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-aOhdVNEiIRc/U20c3h43K7I/AAAAAAAAGRw/wy0GrSx_gVE/IMG_2762_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We spent a good amount of time outside since that is Owen’s constant goal-to get outside. He is obsessed and constantly asking to go outside (with a lisp). Our adorable back neighbors Mia and Lou love to play with Owen and we painted with water a few times and it was a huge hit. The girls did it for a long time and painted everything in site. Owen enjoyed splashing and sucking on his wet (and dirty) paintbrush <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-cuQ6KK_RJYY/U20c4GzbGnI/AAAAAAAAGR4/CRsleoUu3ZM/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800">.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ETEjizj1kII/U20c5O0OuLI/AAAAAAAAGSA/v2URWSqXwB4/s1600-h/IMG_27943.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2794" border="0" alt="IMG_2794" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4ZlvUC88J4I/U20c509xSzI/AAAAAAAAGSE/FqUbPWkWInA/IMG_2794_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>We went to the park in Hooper and the wood chips were one of Owen’s favorite things.

I was beyond excited to get it and Owen loved it! We used to ride our bikes all the time and didn’t at all last year because Owen was too small and we didn’t want a trailer. So this was a great idea and it really works great. I love having Owen right up by me and he is so in love with being outside and looking at everything. It’s a blast.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-JO4Jtp8n1PE/U20c8sVKWcI/AAAAAAAAGSg/oqXMDPsR5t4/s1600-h/IMG_28433.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2843" border="0" alt="IMG_2843" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-orQWXxvQzAc/U20c9Tf-0ZI/AAAAAAAAGSo/JM59bvq7CZk/IMG_2843_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="383" height="374"></a></p> <p>He makes a lot of messes and when he pulled my placemat with a glass of milk on to the floor, we just laughed. Until we realized that he is allergic to milk and was covered in it! Eek. We rushed him to the bathroom and everything was a-okay. Except our rug, which is now permanently a bit wrinkled.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-koZEhBxSp0Q/U20c-GmBXLI/AAAAAAAAGSw/UX2Vs6rJWow/s1600-h/IMG_27774.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2777" border="0" alt="IMG_2777" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-eUEUEr-42T0/U20c-7XuA4I/AAAAAAAAGS4/KpxvafzV6WE/IMG_2777_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>Owen loves to play the piano and he will sing to me.

Owen got pinkeye (still not sure how) and a scratched face. The pinkeye wasn’t very bad, and went away in one day with drops. The scratched face was a result of going down the slide on 4 year old Mia’s lap and face-planting into the grass. He didn’t even cry, just ran away from Mia!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-2Boj8qbuy5k/U20dBUvlodI/AAAAAAAAGTM/2Qu4fOsHBwI/s1600-h/IMG_28084.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2808" border="0" alt="IMG_2808" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-_q9njYQJz9s/U20dB08fteI/AAAAAAAAGTU/1yHb9vmdn1k/IMG_2808_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-cIhKeQjRedA/U20dCsKa5SI/AAAAAAAAGTc/4Zk5-VUumqo/s1600-h/IMG_28033.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2803" border="0" alt="IMG_2803" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-8H74QnxYI-Q/U20dDd2NjgI/AAAAAAAAGTo/ry2maQPb3b4/IMG_2803_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>We had an Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Hills’ house.

I was holding Owen on my hip and slipped going down the stairs for some weird reason. I landed right on his foot and broke it. Worst mom ever. I have never slipped on any stairs before and I feel so terrible. He hasn’t seemed too bothered by it, but it has been an eventful week. He got a real cast on a few days ago and it annoys him, but he is starting to walk in it more and we will hopefully get it off in just 2 more weeks!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-CSZlogX6iH4/U20dWycfhJI/AAAAAAAAGWA/BFom2ISYehU/s1600-h/IMG_30153.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3015" border="0" alt="IMG_3015" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-p5rnBiQe8nQ/U20dXf3whMI/AAAAAAAAGWI/Zk8saLox1e8/IMG_3015_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="374" height="374"></a></p> <p>We had a BBQ at my mom’s house for her birthday. We also went to St. George the weekend before, but I’ll do another post on that. The weather was great for the BBQ and we enjoyed eating on mom’s awesome deck. The dinner was also amazing!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-DtAKs0cupfE/U20dYkWN1_I/AAAAAAAAGWQ/0OHLuinza44/s1600-h/IMG_30163.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3016" border="0" alt="IMG_3016" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ZawNaDYnmco/U20dZXqm9fI/AAAAAAAAGWY/rsplLPsbUDw/IMG_3016_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>Birthday donut tower!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Q00gVkNvv44/U20daeyg73I/AAAAAAAAGWg/6MrTfAWAUvg/s1600-h/IMG_30303.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3030" border="0" alt="IMG_3030" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/--ZdPKQSC72o/U20daz8sM6I/AAAAAAAAGWo/8kaQrRztWU4/IMG_3030_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>Owen had fun playing in Grandma’s dirt and getting filthy. His little cast was a mess too, but I was glad he was happy.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-LG4X4maJeWg/U20db-R7DuI/AAAAAAAAGWw/qtfjhc_1xb0/s1600-h/IMG_30315.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3031" border="0" alt="IMG_3031" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-oeZMWz4OLmM/U20dccmB7FI/AAAAAAAAGW4/TlBqkqdLysg/IMG_3031_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>We are really sad to leave our neighborhood for a lot of reasons, but one big reason is the Laws family. Rebecca watches Owen on Mondays and her kids adore him. Josh is the cutest and they had matching superman shirts on last week. Owen loves their kids and it is one of the only times he doesn’t even blink when I leave him. He always has fun and her older girls are so good with him. And Rebecca used cloth diapers with her kids so she does it with Owen too! Bonus! I don’t think we can ever replace the Laws!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-QYmEY49-I0Q/U20dduah2hI/AAAAAAAAGXA/26UggtZW_5U/s1600-h/IMG_30383.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3038" border="0" alt="IMG_3038" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-jssIq6BvIEs/U20deZoUCCI/AAAAAAAAGXI/7HZdCFEEUKI/IMG_3038_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a></p> <p>Owen got a new hard cast which has been good because the other cast situation was really not working and it wouldn’t stay on his foot. But it is hard for him to walk in this and he keeps pulling off the little shoe. Bathing is also an adventure, but hopefully it looks good in 2 weeks and we can get it off for good!<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-2afugl0-feg/U20dfZv7NDI/AAAAAAAAGXQ/oPruAu1oB0I/s1600-h/IMG_30423.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3042" border="0" alt="IMG_3042" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-bCXbaGlLCmQ/U20df0AspQI/AAAAAAAAGXY/nN5J4D0_O3s/IMG_3042_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="374"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Vox_fwrOKtI/U20dgqC7ZuI/AAAAAAAAGXg/xxvBP2TqbKc/s1600-h/IMG_30334.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3033" border="0" alt="IMG_3033" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-0Nx9mLh86ZE/U20dhQaP1WI/AAAAAAAAGXo/uWAhuF3BBVc/IMG_3033_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="468"></a></p> <p>These curls! We have only trimmed the front part (his bangs?) but we haven’t cut it at all and I don’t know if we ever will! The curls are so awesome thanks to his dad. Hopefully he always had them!</p> Haley Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895423949573872264noreply@blogger.com1
