This ride is making me sick!

Being a Jazz fan is comparable to riding a roller coaster. Lots of ups and downs. Right now I am on the downhill and heading for the straight boring part of the ride. Oh Jazz..you really hurt my heart right now. No, I don't want to talk about it. I try to not watch, but I just have to so can you just play some real basketball...Please?!? I am not asking for a championship, just some decent play. Please take a sharp turn and head back up the hill!

Haircuts

I took Hayes in for his first official haircut. Last time Walker had his hair cut I had Hadley (our super cute neighbor that works at Cookie Cutters) just trim Hayes' bangs. Jake loves the long shaggy look so we are trying that out with Hayes' hair since is has a little bit of curl to it.

I took these with my phone and I can't get them to turn right side up. He did such a good job. He watched Merry Madagascar and sat in the car seat. He only cried the very last minute. I think he was done.

Walker also got his hair cut but he didn't want me to take any pictures. This is the after. I sure do love my two super cute boys. They keep my smiling all day long!

Valentines Day!

I am not really into Valenties Day, but I thought it would be fun to make pink pakcakes for Walker and Hayes for breakfast! Walker thought it was cool:)

 He seriously pulls a face every picture I take. He won't ever smile!

Walker made this cute Valentine frog at school. It held all of his Valentines! He was so excited to hand out his Toy Story pencils. He wanted to sharpen all of them for his friends. I told him that wasn't such a good idea! He is so funny. He kept talking about giving one to Rachel. He talkes about her all the time. I think he has a little crush:)

We celebrated as a family with a yummy chicken and artichoke dinner. Then we passed out cookies to our neighbors with some cute Valentines. It is so much fun to celebrate holidays with little kids!

Skiing!

We took Walker skiing up at Park City Mountain Resort last week. I have been really excited for Jake to teach Walker to ski. Jake took him up last year but he was on Jake's back, not his own skis. He did such a great job! He kept saying "pizza then french fry" He didn't last too long, but at least we got him on skis! Good Job buddy!! We are so proud of you. I just want Walker to be able to try everything and find those things that he loves to do. I hope that he will love skiing so he can go with his dad:)

smart little guy...

 The other day I came up stairs from doing laundry and Walker was sitting at the island putting together his Toy Story 3 puzzle. Jake and I have done it with him a few times but this was the first time he wanted to do it by himself. It's a 100 piece puzzle!!

 FINISHED! I helped him with maybe 20 pieces, but he did the rest all by himself! Nice work buddy!!

 Finished product!

Oh and don't worry about this guy. The minute the fridge opens he is climbing in it. He can't get enough of it! The other day I found 3 balls in the cheese drawer!!

A SUNBEAM?

We were just getting used to the idea that Hayes was one...and now we have a Sunbeam?

His first day he got this super cute crown and a necklace name tag.

just a side note - Walker is so funny lately.

Walker - " Excuse me, Mom?"

Me - "Yeah, bud what?"

Walker - "Umm, I am going to need tape and some paper. I need to make stuff for my friends"

Me - "Ok"

Here is what I came upstairs to. Papers with drawings on them taped to the wall. He was listing all his friends names saying "This one is for..."

I tried to take it down and he didn't want me too. It stayed up there for about 2 days.

Happy Birthday HAYES!

Hayes "DIGS" being ONE!

(that was our theme)

 Ready to open his presents!

 Good thing we had lots of cousins to help! It would have taken us all night without them!

 He grabbed the cake before we were ready to sing! Just like his mom, loves sugar!

 Digging into the smash cake.

This is the "official" cake. I am loving the cupcake cakes from Walmart! So much easier than cutting a cake, just pull a cupcake out - no mess!

We had such a great time celebrating his birthday! Thanks to everyone who came to help us. Hayes is loving all of his new toys! Hayes is my little buddy and I am so happy that he is such a good boy. I really feel blessed to say that he is mine:)

Hayes 1 year pictures

How is Hayes already ONE?!? I feel like all of last year was a blur! He is getting so big! Kim and Tim came over and snapped a few shots - and they did a great job!

 The attempt of a sibling picture - Hayes was having none of that!

 Quick family photo op!

 LOVE this one of Walker!

Hayes you are an angel - and mommy thanks you so much for that! You make my life so easy:) We love you buddy, but please stop getting so big so fast!

Our First Snowman

Walker was loving the first snow storm we had a few weeks ago. The first thing he said when he woke up to all the snow was "We have to go make a snowman"...so we did! Well Jake and Walker did. He first helped dad shovel and then he was so excited when he came in and asked me for eyes, nose and a mouth. Oreo eyes, celery nose, and red hard candy mouth. Once the snowman was completed, he wouldn't stand by it.

Hayes and I just stayed inside and enjoyed the warmth!:)

Temple Square

When I was young we would go to Temple Square every December as a family to enjoy the Christmas lights. If you know Walker, he is OBSESSED with Christmas lights. So - we went down. We had a great time and Walker loved it! As Walker and Hayes get older, I am realizing how much I want to have my own traditions.
