Jayden Goes Rugby

She's getting bigger! She looks big next to this rugby ball.

Watching Uncle Clay play rugby is enough to wear any baby out.
After his game Uncle Clay poses for a pic with Jayden. So much for her looking big.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Jayden took a trip to Mommy's school today to surprise her students. The students were so excited to see her. Today Jayden is 6 weeks old. Man time is flying bye!
Even on Valentine's Day it's no fun to get your diaper changed.
A Valentine's Day snooze.

Jayden Goes Rugby

Jayden made her first trip to Phoenix to meet her Grandma Kami and Aunties,

On our way home we stopped in Wickenburg for Jayden to meet her Great Uncle Rome.

She's Growing Up In Flash!

Jayden with her 6 year old cousin Bailey. Bailey was full of questions when he met his little cousin. "Why are her feet so wrinkly?" "When will she talk...stand up... walk?" He also thought she clearly said the words "help," "it," and "that."
A week at Grandpa and Grandma's house in Flagstaff. Jayden is swallowed up in her snowsuit.
Jayden's first play date with Chase James. Chase is 8wks and Jayden 4 wks.
Jayden decided to taste test Chase's arm. She's already picking on boys.

Jayden is definitely a daddy's girl.

Oh Baby!

INTRODUCING JAYDEN RAY!

At 12:23P.M. on Thursday, January 3rd. Jayden arrived. She was just about three weeks early. She weighed in at 6 pounds 8 ounces and was 18 and 1/2 inches long.
Jayden spent the first three days in the NICU. It was scary to see such a little baby hooked up to so many wires and tubes, but it was comforting to know she was in good hands.

Waiting to go home!

Grand Canyon or Bust!

Matt and I met up with Logan, Cierra, Dennis, and Ashley in Flagstaff last weekend to make a day trip to the Grand Canyon. It was Cierra's first trip to the Grand Canyon, and only my third visit. Which is kind of crazy thinking how close I lived for so long.
Dennis, Ashley, Matt, Logan, and Cierra say "cheese!"

We sat debating on which tourist to ask to take our picture. After about five minutes we saw a lady who looked too nice to say no. We were right, she gladly snapped this shot for us. (There's definitely no hiding who the pregnant lady is now.)

Annika Makes a Surprise Visit!

My life long best friend called me and surprised me with the news she was in Arizona (all the way from Maui, Hawaii). After not seeing her for two and half years I made a quick trip to Flagstaff to hang out with her and her parents at my parents' house. Check out that 25 week belly!

Emily Visits Southern Nevada!

Matt puts the Xterra to the test. I freaked out when I turned around to see my car in the water, but it handled it like a pro.

Six Mile Cove

The weekend of my birthday, a group of us went camping out at Six Mile Cove outside of Searchlight. It was a fun, but windy weekend.
