More Snow Fun

2010-11-24T18:32:00.000-08:00

It's amazing how much Hannah and Ron love the snow.

First Snow of the Season

2010-11-21T10:01:00.000-08:00

When we looked out the window this morning, we saw a 6" layer of fresh snow. Hannah was so excited. After breakfast, we bundled up and went outside for a couple hours with Reagan and Chloe (our neighbors). We threw snowballs, made snow angels, shook trees full of snow, and played with Max and Macy.

Nice Hair!

2010-09-10T13:47:00.000-07:00

One of the many things we love about Hannah is her hair. I love these pictures. It is so long when it is wet and when it dries it gets so curly. Jodee and I are dreading the day that we will have to cut it. We are afraid that her curls won't come back.

Two Year Old Pictures

2010-02-18T18:45:00.001-08:00

We took Hannah to downtown SLC to get her two year old pictures done. I can't believe it has already been two years. Crazy. Both, Jodee and I love the pictures of her sitting on the stool holding the balloons.

Huge Dog

2010-01-12T16:58:00.000-08:00

My oldest brother, Aaron, bought this dog about 9-10 months ago. We celebrated all of the January birthdays on Sunday. Finnegan was born today, last year. He is huge now. I think that it so funny that Hannah is this brave to walk up to him and try to kiss him.

Shredding

2010-01-09T09:29:00.000-08:00

Jodee and I had some papers that needed to be shredded. So, as i was sending them through, Hannah came over with a penny and threw it in. Of course it jammed it. I pushed the buttons to make it go back and forth to try and get it out. When it finally came out it looked like this. Hannah decided to play with the shreddings, with my help.

Christmas Morning

2010-01-09T09:12:00.000-08:00

Hannah isn't quite old enough to really know who Santa is or that most kids get up at 6 am to wake their parents up to open presents. So we got to sleep in a little before we opened presents. Hannah really liked it. We didn't get her a lot of exciting stuff, because her birthday is two weeks later. She got books, clothes, an 'I Spy' blanket from my mom, a princess puzzle, and the mouse she is holding. Ron got a new toy too.

Hannah and Fall Leaves

2009-11-08T16:34:00.000-08:00

When we got out of church today, Hannah was stomping in the leaves in the parking lot. I threw some up in the air, and she loved it. So we went home and raked up a small pile of leaves in our front yard. Ron was freaking out like always if we are outside and he's not, so we let him out to come play with us. He loves anything that we throw up in the air...bubbles, snow, and I just found out today that he loves leaves just as much. And even better, Hannah died laughing when she saw him jump for the leaves. So it made it pretty easy to get a picture of her smiling.

Funny & Random Things Hannah Does and Halloween

2009-11-01T12:44:00.000-08:00

First Time Trick or Treater

GOT CANDY?

I love those blue eyes!

- Today as we were sitting at the table for lunch, Hannah got the bright red, I'm pooping, look on her face. She hasn't gone in about two days. Jodee asked her if she was pooping. Hannah looks up and says "It's stuck". That alone was pretty funny. But about a minute later she says "I got it" in a high pitched voice.

- We don't know where she got this from, but she has been counting from one to twelve. I have tried to capture it on film, but every time I pull out the camera, she won't do it.

- She has been singing the ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for a while. But recently because they have the same tune, she has been mixing the two songs together. "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, How I wonder what you are, up above the world so high...."

- Ever since she has been talking, we have tried to get her to say, I love you. She'll copy every other word or phrase that we say, except that. When we told her that we loved her, she would just look at us. But this past week, she started to tell us that she loves us. Finally.

- Last night as we were trick or treating, she said a lot of funny things. Jodee and I each had one of her hands. She would squat down and bounce up, but she calls it a jump. She says "Jumping, so fun". - At one of the houses we went to, I stayed at the sidewalk as Jodee took her to the door. She realized that I wasn't up there with her, she asked "Where's Daddy?". Jodee told her that I stayed back. She looked back at me and yelled "DADDY". I guess I wasn't allowed to stay back. To really enjoy all of these stories, would have to had seen her face at that moment.

-At almost every house, she walked right in like we were going to stay. We did know every one that we went to. She also took two pieces of candy from every bucket! She's thinking of Mommy AND Daddy! What a good little girl.

One night as all of us were sitting around, Hannah started playing with the door. Opening and closing it. She thought that it was sooo funny, like she says in the video. She says almost anything now. It's not always clear, but she's talking a lot.

This is also my first video that I have edited. Pretty sweet huh. OK, I know it looks like a 10 year old did it, but it was fun.

July Vacations

2009-08-13T20:16:00.000-07:00

Over the past month we have gone on a couple of weekend vacations. Over the 4th we went to Bear Lake with my family (The Higgins side). We played at the beach, golfed, and just hung out with my family. Over the 24th we drove to Jackson Hole with Jodee's family (The Sheffields). Jodee's brother lives in Idaho Falls, so we spent the first night there and drove to Jackson the next day. We camped just outside of Jackson. Hannah loved to be outdoors all weekend. We had a lot of fun on both trips. The pictures are a little out of order. The beach pictures and the owl are Bear Lake. Except the one with Hannah holding the big rock, thats in Jackson by the Snake River. The others are from Jackson.

I just got some pictures from my mom that she has taken over the past 2-3 months.

Grandmas Glasses

2009-06-27T15:04:00.001-07:00

My mom has about 3-4 pairs of reading glasses laying around the house. She has gone through about fifty pairs because all the grandkids think it is fun to wear them. They eventually get broken in one way or another. Hannah loves to wear them. Hopefully she gets her moms good vision and not mine.

Our Little Star

2009-06-19T08:30:00.000-07:00

Hannah loves to sing and dance. Jodee sings to her all of the time. Hannah will sing (mumble) along with her until she hears a word that she knows. And then she'll say that word and keep mumbling the rest. She loves to do the actions to a lot of the songs as well.

Head Shoulders Knees and Toes

2009-05-19T17:57:00.000-07:00

Hannah has been picking up on a lot of stuff recently. She will try and say things that we say. Jodee teaches her all sorts of actions and she picks up on them quickly. As of right now, we have counted about 30 words that she can say. We can't believe how fast she is growing. She'll be smarter than us in no time.

Swinging Into Spring

Blustery Day at the Park.

2009-03-21T18:21:00.000-07:00

Today the four of us (including Ron) walked to Smoot Park. Hannah loved the spiral slide and the swings. The weather has been awesome for the last week, but today it got really windy. Regardless, we had a lot of fun. Hannah could care less if there was wind. She just loves to be outside. It is one of her favorite things to do. When I get home from work, she gives me a hug and points to the door for me to take her outside. If she had it her way, she would spend all of her time out there. She is becoming one with mother nature. Last week, she had her first taste of dirt. Mmmm. I was watching her do it too. I didn't think that she would, but she did. Kids are great!

It's been a while!!

2009-02-16T08:03:00.000-08:00

Hannah all bundled up, ready for the cold. She loves to be outside. Every meal Hannah has her feet on the table. We know it's not the best manners, but it's so cute.

Now that Hannah has teeth, she loves to carry things around in her mouth. She'll pick it up off the ground with her mouth.
I got this idea from Rachel. Half of the pictures that Henry are in, he is in a box.

Hannah loves to lick the cold glass. i know it's gross, but it's cute and funny.

One day after Jodee fed Hannah, she laid her head down and just fell asleep. We just laid a blanket on top of her and left her in the swing. Nap time is always nice.

One of the first times that Jodee let Hannah try to feed herself.

Camping at Lava Hot Springs

2008-09-25T12:06:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we went camping with Jodee's parents to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. Other than it raining and us sleeping next to the train track, we had a great time. Hannah loves the outdoors. She slept and ate wonderful. Mostly because she was sleeping between us the whole time. She was nice and toasty. Jodee bought her a new hat just before we went. So cute!

We went to the Gateway Mall yesterday to shop for fall clothes for Hannah.
Hannah's hair is finally growing long enough to do something with it.
So Jodee put a single roller in it.

Hannah loved watching the kids run through the fountain at the mall.

4th Fun!!

Alex and I have been married for 2 1/2 years now and we live in an apartment in Bountiful. We just recently had our little baby girl Hannah in January and we love her so much and enjoy her cute little noises she makes and her big smiles she gives us. She is talking so much and I think she is getting really close to laughing, I can't wait! She is such a good baby and hardly ever cries, she has been sleeping really good at night, so I finally feel like a can catch up on some sleep. She does love to be entertained and if she doesn't get the attention she gets fussy. I just discovered that she loves Sesame Street and ceiling fans and she really loves her changing table, if she starts crying Alex and I will just put her on there and she'll just start smiling and talking. She loves her daddy's big beautiful smile and as soon as he gets home from work that is the first thing he'll do and she'll smile so big at him. She has been the greatest blessing in our lives and we enjoy every minute of her. She has the sweetest spirit and is very good natured for the most part. We love her so much and enjoy being parents.

Hannah is almost 2 months old now. We think that she weighs about 10 pounds. We will find out next week at her two month check-up how big she is. She is in the stage where she will smile back at us when we smile at her. For some reason, she loves her changing table. We love it. Isn't she so cute.
