SAY CHEESE

She looks so grown up and she is almost out of toddler clothes!

Such a happy boy!

ALOHA!!! Grandma Tami is in Hawaii and sent Hayden a Hula outfit and Hayden loved it!

All About Zander

Zander is getting so big!!!! He is scooting around and he is getting pretty fast! And he can SIT all by himself. (he can't move from a laying position to a sitting yet, but i think its close.)

He is six month old and I feel like he is growing too fast!

He is still a pretty good baby. We have to work on his eating habits though (he wants to snack) and his sleeping habits. I would really like him to sleep through the night.

Zander loves his sister. He is always so happy to see her, and when he sees her after waking up his face just lights up! Its one of the cutest things ever.

He also LOVES cars! Him and Hayden can play with cars for an hour and he is just so happy and Hayden is happy to play with him, Which in turn makes Mom HAPPY!

Zander also loves going outside. If the door opens he will start scooting towards it.

He is also a HUGE Momma's Boy. (Hayden likes to say that he is a "Hayden boy.") The other day I was watching my niece and Zander made sure that she new that I was his Mom and NOT hers. (isn't he supposed to be to little for that?) He would be perfectly fine on the floor playing, but if he saw me give more attention to Adaline he would scoot over to me and start whining.

I Love his smile. It brightens my day everyday!

Moving

I have been slacking on this blog and i blame it on moving! There is just entirely to much you have to do when you move, and its exhausting!!! I have started a couple other posts but i need to finish them and will do that soon, PROMISE.

Anyway we just moved from Preston, Idaho to Logan, Utah. A whole 28 miles. I think it was a good choice to move due to the fact that Jt is in school and works in Logan, and with the ridiculous gas prices it just made more sense to move closer!

After a month or 2 of looking for a place we finally found a cute little condo that is the perfect location in the south end of Logan. And even though half our stuff is still out in the garage, it feels like home. But I am kinda missing Preston, mainly just the people and being able to go to the grocery store and see people you know.

With this move i have thought of couple benefits of moving.
1- Spring cleaning and packing done at once, while i packed i was able to get rid of a lot of junk and get organized for the most part.
2- New stuff, at least for us we were able to get a NEW BED! Yay! We were given a bed which was great for a while but we decided that we would invest in a new bigger bed while we could and we absolutely love it! So worth it!!!!
3- moving is a daily work out! Especially with stairs!!! At the rate I'm going I should have some nice tone legs. If only it happened that fast. But i have been motivated to step up my work out routine.
4- We now have better parking! I never thought I would ever really care about parking, but after living in our last apartment, where we lived in the back corner and very rarely had the closer parking spots, I am very Proud to announce that we have a GARAGE, and a ASSIGNED PARKING SPACE!!! double YAY!!!


Right now the only bad things about moving is the leaving friends, even though we're not that far away, i still won't see them at church and stuff and that makes me sad.
And I hate the fact that we moved 28 miles and have to get a new drivers license and get new medicaid insurance for the kids and have to wait a year for hunting and fishing licenses. I mean seriously, they should have some kind of waiver for that.

And A HUGE THANK YOU for all those that helped us move and watching my kids! I truly am so very blessed and thankful for the people i have in my life.

WOW

I can't believe my little boy is 3months old and is 14 lbs!!!! He's getting too big too fast!

Happy Birthday Hayden!

Three years ago on January 8, 2008, we were blessed to have Hayden Jade Ford enter in this world! She weighed 8lbs and 4 oz and was 19 inches long.

A year later we celebrated her 1st Birthday!

And then her 2nd Birthday...

And NOW HER 3RD!!!

My Little girl is getting so big! She is learning new things everyday and loves to be the center of attention and is so full of energy! She is Definitely a daddy's girl and just loves to be around daddy! She can make me laugh on a daily basis and she can make me want to pull my hair out on a daily basis. But I love her all the same! She truly is a blessing in my life and wouldn't want her any other way.

Hayden wanted scissors for Christmas, but Santa forgot them. So for her birthday she wanted playdoh and I found a pack that had plastic scissors in it and she LOVED them.

And for Christmas Grandma got her the three Toy Story movies and she wants to watch them all the time. Except for the first one because it doesn't have Jessie in it. So we got her the Jessie doll and she was in awe, and it goes EVERYWHERE with her.

Happy New Year!

So I know I'm a little late on this, but at least its still January....

We had a Great New Years. We celebrated by going to my good friend, Rebecca's house and played games with her and another family. It was lots of fun. We played rock band, and that game was just not fair!!!! Rebecca and Stephanie both sing and are in plays and everything. Jt is a good singer and then Stephanie's husband (I can't remember his name) refused to sing. And then there was me that SHOULD not sing. I failed singing on easy! But I still had fun. We also played snorta, which is one of my new favorite games. and Apples to Apples. It was lots of fun with some good company! And the kids all had fun playing, I think only one out of nine didn't make it to 12.

heres some pics of the night

Rebecca singing! I Love This Girl! she is Amazing!

Stephanie and Jt playing Rock Band. (the Guitar wouldn't sync)

And JT was brave and Sang in front of people he didn't know that well. Very surprising with how shy he is. but for a week after wards all I heard was "I can't believe you made me sing" but as you can see its not like I had a gun to his head. I think deep down he really wanted to.

Me and Jt taking a turn..

And This is Steven celebrating New years with a lollipop. He's such a cute kid!
