Family Reunion

The same Saturday as Bounce U, Matt had an extended family reunion at Pioneer Park. I was neat to meet some of his Aunts and Uncles and 2nd cousins. Most of them I had never met before and a lot of them Matt had never met before so it was good to have the opprotunity to all get togther. Haylee had a blast playing with the leaves and trees while we visited. She loves the outdoors, I cant wait to take her camping.

Haylee's 2nd Birthday

We took Haylee to Bounce U for her birthday. She absolutely loved it!!! Kasen Huber or also known as KeyKey(Thats what Haylee calls him), came and jumped around also. Summer bounced a few times but was unable to climb one of the walls without her sisters help. Does she think she is pregnant or something. My brother Tyler was beating all of us up and I was actually sore the next day from playing so hard. Monday the Jan 19th was Haylee's actual birthday and we didnt really do anything special, justgave her a few presents and called it good. I cant believe that Haylee is 2 already. She is such a huge part of my life and I love her so much. Happy Birthday Haylee!!!

The begining of December the we had our annual girls night. It was a blast! We stayed at a hotel in downtown Scottsadale, so we walked to downtown Scottsdale and ate and then looked at some shops. Then we went and swam at the hotels indoor swimming pool. Afterwards we did our gift exchange and then talked the rest ofthe night, which was till about 4am in the morning. Some didnt last that long(Jill) and some faded in and out of the conversation(Melissa). In the morning we ate breakfast together and then set off for home. I love getting together with those girls, we have such a fun time when we get together. We were sad that Tiff wasnt able to make it but we are going to find a way to kidnap her this year.

Christmas was a long time ago, I know but here is how it went. We stayed here in Mesa and enjoyed family and friends. Christmas morning we woke up and showed Haylee her house we got her(yardsale) and her letter magnets(goodwill). I love good deals. Anyway Haylee loved her house, even though she wont go play in it unless I go with her or am at least outside with her. We got Jayna some chew toys and then Matt and I switched gifts, I got a radio for the kitchen(craigslist) and Matt got a nintendo chair(yardsale) and some palmeni(latvian pasta) that I found at a Russian grocery store. Afterwards we went over to my moms to exchange gifts and of course Haylee was beyond spoiled. Later that day we went to Matts moms and got to talk to Ben. He seems to be doing great and loving his mission, but he did say that it is freezing right now. Christmas was great, it is so fun when you have kidos. It was also great to see Traci and Daphne for awhile. Daphne went through the Temple down here for the first time, it was great to be a part of that. Dollie also got married a few days after Christmas, so we got to see alot of friends and share that special time with her.
