August 2010

Not much happened in August, I honestly don't remember anything except that we were just enjoying the summer! We took the kids to the new resevoir in Cedar City and Heston loved it and we went in the mountains and had hot dogs and smores and just had a good time!

July 2010

July was a busy month! First of all we went to Richfield for the fourth of July! Oh how we LOVE the fourth of July! It is so much fun to play in the sun all day and enjoy family! We actually rode in the Richfield parade on bikes for my Brother in Laws bike store! Steve and I rode on a Tandum pulling Heston in a trailer on the back! We had a great time! (even though I was a little embarrassed at first!:) We also worked on our yard the whole month and finally got our sprinking system in! My dad and mom came down and helped and we were so thankful for that! Then we finally went on a vacation to Zion Ponderosa. Kent and Claudia gave us a weekend at these super nice cabins for Christmas and we went the weekend of the 24th of July! Every single kid except for one was there and they rented two big cabins! We had so much fun, we swam, rode 4 wheelers, played volleyball, games, and just hung out! It was so relaxing and we can't wait to do it again!

OUR FAMILY

June 2010

Sorry about the picture I can't get it to turn!

Not a ton happened in June, but I really can't remember a lot about it! So I guess you just get pictures! I am sure I was busy trying to organize my house and take care of two little boys! We did go to the opening ceremonies of the summer games which is always fun! But I don't remember anything else we did!

May was a CRAZY month for us!!! First of all we were in the middle of building a house and Steve decided to tile our whole house by himself (well with the help of some family members!) but it still took A LOT of time! He would work on the house everyday after work for a few weeks and left me home alone to take care of a newborn and a 2 year old! I learned a lot from this experience and realized that I could do more than I thought I could! We also blessed Hayden on mothers day which was such a fun day to do it! I was so grateful to be a mom that day. Steve gave him the name of Hayden Ray Hyde and did a wonderful job! (Sorry about the picture! My dad has all the good ones on his computer!)We also celebrated Hestons 2nd birthday which was so fun! At the time he was obsessed with Potatoe Head he would play potatoe head for hours and make the same face over and over! He always had to have a blue had and yellow shoes with these little eyes and mouth nose and two arms on one side and two ears on the other! I should have taken a picture! I am going to have to make it again and take a picture just so I don't forget! Anyways, I made him a potatoe head cake and since it was so busy we just had a few family members over for cake and ice cream! He also loved to make himself into potatoe head I loved it!:) And the last thing we did in May is we moved into our brand new home! We love it! It has a garage, unfinished basement and yard! (JUST WHAT WE NEEDED!) So yes May was busy but full of fun!

Catch up! April 2010

So, I am going to attempt to blog about our lives for the last nine months! It has been crazy busy at our house and I am not sure really sure why....... But I don't want to forget the good times so I am going to try my hardest to remember what we did and at least post some pictures for journaling purposes!!!! So dont feel bad if you don't want to read our past history!!!

April was Easter! We went to St. George and spent the weekend at my sisters house! It was the last year we got to spend at their house that has the pool because they were in the middle of building a new one! So we thought we would take advantage and swim for the weekend but of course it was freezing cold so we couldn'd do a lot of that but we still had a lot of fun! We had an Easter egg hunt and spent a lot of time with family!

What happens when you have two kids???? You don't have time to blog:) I know I am way behind even before I had two kids but life has been a little crazy! Anyways, I want to be better at blogging for journal purposes so I guess I am going to start trying today:)!


Hayden was born March 18 at 9:56 and weighed 7lbs 1 ounce and was 19 inches long.
Labor story: I got induced on the 1h at
1:00 am- got to the hospital
2:00-5:00 am- I was given cidotec (sp) started having a few contractions at 5 I got checked at was at a 3 so I got to have pitocin.
5:00-7:00 am- just hung out:)
7:30 am- got my epidural and started pitocin
8:00 am- got my water broke
9:00 am- got checked was at a 5
9:30 am- told Steve he better go get a nurse because I needed to push and sure enough I was at a ten and the baby was there!
9:50 am- Dr. Sanders finally got there:) and 3 pushes later Hayden was born at 9:56 am!
Haydens delivery went so much smoother and was SO much faster then Hestons I loved it! Hayden started having some struggles breathing so they took him to the nursery and I didn't get to see him for 6 hours. It was awful at first I just figured everything was okay until the nurse came to tell me he had an IV and oxygen. When I finally got to see him it was so sad. I tested postive for Group B Strep so they were worried that he had an infection so they started his first dose of antibiotics and we had to stay in the hospital for an extra day. The sad part was he didn't even get to be in the room with me because he was all hooked up to the machines. So I would just go to the nursery to feed him and then when I needed to hold him (which may have been all day Friday:)! The results came back and it wasn't and infection but they still finished his doses of antibiotics and we got to leave Saturday afternoon. To add to the crazy few days Steve got the stomach flu the first night after I had him so my mom took Heston to St. George so he wasn't exposed and I spent the days and nights in the hospital by myself! Which at first I thought it was going to be horrible but it ended up being just fine! I got some rest and probably annoyed my nurses to death! Bytheway Meg it was so fun getting to have you twice! Thanks for everything! So now it has been two and a half weeks and we are lovely Hayden he is so fun and life couldn't be better! (More pictures to come!)

Thanksgiving & Candy making!

So.... Thanksgiving was a little different this year! We had an honory baby! So I didn't even get any pictures but we ate at Steves moms house and that was really fun even though Steve and I had to eat in shifts because Heston would not let us leave his side and he was not about to sit at the table with us!


The next day we made candy like usual my mom and sisters got together and we spent the whole day making chocolates, this year was a lot of fun! We made so much candy and then the problem is my mom sends it home with us and now I cant stop eating it! I am going to be HUGE by the end of this pregnancy!

This is what Heston did most of the weekend! (Luckily he likes cartoons and movies!)

Poor little guy!

And here is just a small portion of candy that we did! We individually dipped each nut!(ha ha) and then we did a whole bunch of carmel, chocolate pretzels and a few other things!

SO DELICIOUS!
