Rainy Day Survival

June 6, 2008

The last few days have been cold and wet. So we’ve been trying to do a few fun things to keep from going insane–especially since Jaden was out of town for 3 days! Movies, “popcorn picnics” in the family room, playing with every toy, watching home videos, playing with friends, making puppets and going to […]

Haylie’s Blessing

June 2, 2008

Yesterday morning we had Haylie’s blessing. It was a beautiful day. Jaden gave her an amazing, inspired blessing and we were so grateful to have our families with us. My heart was full. Haylie is a little angel and looked beautiful in her dress. After church we had a delicious brunch at our house and […]

Mother’s Day 2008

May 22, 2008

I’m finally getting around to posting some pictures from Mother’s Day. Sundays are always so crazy trying to get to church early (I have to be there at about 8:45 am to play the organ) and it seems like there is so much more pressure on Mother’s Day because you don’t want to be grumpy […]

David Archuleta and other happenings…

May 14, 2008

If you squint really hard or zoom in on this picture, you can see Mr. David Archuleta of American Idol fame! Yes, we were somewhat nerdy and went to the “celebration” last Friday. He’s from my hometown and the pep rally was at my high school, and we’ve actually been watching American Idol this season, […]

More hospital memories…

May 1, 2008

Here are more pictures from our stay at the hospital. Overall I felt pretty well considering that I just experienced a major life event! The hospital was fairly relaxing once the nurses stopped checking my vitals so often and once my nausea and itching from the pain meds went away. I enjoyed getting to know […]

April 30, 2008

Finally I am posting Haylie’s birth story (one month later!) with a whole bunch of pictures from the hospital. In fact, it’ll take two posts because there are so many pictures and I want to post them! This will be lengthy. First of all, Jaden took some pictures of me and the kids on the […]

Three Weeks Old

This is one of my new favorite pictures!!! What a trooper. I also love these ones. I’ve been having so much fun with such a tiny photography subject! I actually captured a smile while she was sleeping! Hooray! I have more spoon pics to post later. This is a teddy bear that Jaden gave me […]

Sick. Again.

April 20, 2008

Wanna hear my sad story? I got very sick again this weekend. Saturday I spent the day alternating between fever and chills, feeling faint and nauseous if I even sat up, with every part of me aching. Anyway, long story short, I have an infection in the chest region. Know what I mean?? I don’t […]

Two weeks

April 17, 2008

Little Haylie Belle is two weeks old already (on Tuesday the 15th). Wow! We had her check-up this morning (along with Brandon’s 5 year old check and Kindergarten booster shots!! Yikes!!) and she’s doing just great. Her weight is up to 7 lb 5 oz (when we left the hospital she was about 6 lbs) […]

Bracket Album and other digiscrapping stuff.

April 12, 2008

I wanted to share a fun little project I did just before I had Haylie (actually the day before I had her!). I created a “bracket album” with pictures of Annie from each month of 2007. Kind of a simple “year at a glance” little mini book, no journaling. I’m planning on making one for […]
