Number 4

 On Wednesday my brother and sis-in-law had their third little baby- Finn Raylan Gardner.  Which makes this my number 4 nephew on my side (I also happen to have 4 on Steve's side too!!).  He is the cutest little guy, I just don't know if I can wait til July to meet him!!

I love these profile pics- Hadley has the same ones and I still look at them all the time :)

I love this little man already!!  Congrats Ashton and Kylie on the new addition... and Fiona and Fox on your new little brother!!

P.S.  Did anyone think this was a pregnancy announcement based on the post title :)  Nope, sorry!

Birthday Party Take 2

 My parents come from Colorado for the long weekend, therefore we took advantage of having everyone here to have our big party for Hadley!  We had some delicious Wingers type chicken sandwiches with bleu cheese coleslaw (seriously good!!), opened presents, and had cake and ice cream! 

She was spoiled again and was so cute opening each one and then quickly moving on to the next!

 Singing and dancing to Luke and Liv's rendition of some Pooh songs!

 She LOVED being sung to and was dancing in her chair and leading the song!

Would you expect any other kind of cake?

After so many celebrations I'm sure Hadley half expected more parties, good food, and gifts this week!

Besides the party we had a great time with my family all weekend!  We had a girls night out and went to see "The Vow" (I still loved it the second time... I saw it opening night with some friends).  We all ate way too much food, laughed lots and lots, and simply enjoyed each others company :)

The Birthday Day

 I can't believe my baby (who is definitely not a baby anymore!) is already 2!  We had a great day celebrating on Wednesday :)  I took the day off and we celebrated from morning until bed time!  Hadley woke up to a completely decorated downstairs and she loved it!!  She kept walking around the table saying hi to every Pooh character on the table cloth.

We left a new game on her chair and she was really serious about checking it out!  She now constantly asks to play "Hippos, hippos!!"

After breakfast she got to hang out in our bed watching the new Pooh movie she had gotten for Valentines Day.  She was so funny- all stretched out and comfy with all the blankets and pillows :)

We got ready and headed up the BYU Bean Museum with Becca, Max, and Livi!  She's been to the museum once before, she wasn't even one yet, and had very little interest.  This time they were running around fascinated by each and every animal!  So cute!  But unfortunately because she was so excited she wouldn't hold still for any pictures!

 We then we to Carls' Jr. for lunch and to play!

After a long nap (3 + hours, guess she was worn out from all the running around) we played with her new game, went on a short walk, and waited for daddy to come home!  We ate dinner and then did cupcakes and presents...

 She was SPOILED for sure!  She opened half the presents from Steve and I and the ones from Steve's parents.  She got a new baby and lots of stuff for her baby, a Mr. Potato head set, and a playdough set.

It was a wonderful day- Happy Birthday sweet girl!!

Pre-Birthday Celebrations

 On Monday (the 13th) we had a little party for Hadley with some of her cute friends.  The guest list included Dex, Lizzie, Daniel, Pollux, and Max- we invited her little friend from church but she couldn't come.  I didn't plan any games because I was worried how that might go with a bunch of two year olds- but 70+ balloons proved to be more than enough entertainment for a couple of fun hours!!

Hadley and Max had some time with the balloons to themselves before everyone arrived!  They were so cute dancing and singing and running around!

Isn't this just the sweetest thing you ever saw?!

We ate some snacks mid-play!

These pictures our way out of order but here's our little snacks- cupcakes, popcorn, teddy grahams, and fruit roll ups!  Very healthy :)  Later we used the paper covering the paper to draw and color- another BIG hit!!

We all had a fun time and I can't wait to do it again next year!!

Basketball

 Those of you that know us know we enjoy a good basketball game!  I follow the NBA daily and we watch a lot of games when we can.  Well, we also enjoy the live game :)  My brother-in-law is the head coach of Spanish Fork and so we headed down to a game this week.  Last season we went to games more often but the season has somehow slipped away from us this year!  Hadley's favorite part was the treats, the National Anthem, and the cheerleaders at half time :) 

My pictures really aren't very good since they two crazies could not resist climbing up and down, up and down those bleachers!

 You might notice everyone else has their hands on their hearts- don't worry these were taken with my left hand :)

Can't wait for our Jazz game next month!!
