Ok, everyone in Utah Valley who reads my blog, I need help. I am looking to make a few extra bucks, but I need a job that won't take too much of my time...I'm talking like 4-6 hours a week. I am not too picky, so if you any of you know of anything out there, please let me know!!
Saturday October 18th was Hayden's 1st birthday and my 26th birthday. I have been so excited for her birthday and have been preparing for a long time!! We decided to do a Care Bear theme and it turned out so cute (if I do say so myself!) Hayden is such a sweet baby and I am so grateful to have her.
This is her present from us and my parents. She LOVES it!!!! She could ride in that thing all day!
When we sang Happy Birthday to her she had the biggest smile and was so proud of herself. She loved being the center of attention.
Some of the decorations and Gavin!!
She got a lot of cute presents.
Her Dora chair from Grandma and Grandpa Gibbons.
She got this cute little cat from her uncle Dean. As soon as she got it and immediately started hugging it. It was so cute!!
The cake before.
The cake after!!
It took a while to for her to dig in, she was using the two care bears as utensils. As soon as we took them a way she really dug her hands into it.
Of course the balloons were the favorite.
A few weeks ago Colin and I wanted to go on vacation, but since that wasn't very feasible we just went up to Salt Lake for the day. We decided to go to This is the Place Heritage Park. If you don't know what it is, it is where Brigham Young decided to stop after coming across the plains and settled Salt Lake. It has a little village of old houses and shops. Some of the buildings are originals and some are replicas. We were a little disappointed because during the fall not all of the buildings are open, so we only got to see a few. So if you ever want to go I suggest going during the summer.
Our little pioneer baby.
I think this is the longest I have gone without blogging since I started. I always thought people were crazy when they would say they had been too busy to post anything, well I now know what they are talking about. These past few weeks have been so busy, I really haven't had a spare moment.
Two weeks ago we went to Oregon to visit the Williams family. I love going up there to visit, we always have a great time!! I will tell more about that trip with the pictures below.
After we left Portland we came to Orem where we have been hanging out with all the friends and family we have missed this last year. We have been going on walks up the canyon, biking, swimming, going to moveis and getting snow cones!!! Colin has defiantly been taking advantage of being back. Last weekend he went on a 290 mile four wheeling trip with my family in Southern Utah and this weekend he is back down there camping and hiking with friends.
We were both a little nervous to move back under the circumstances we did, but it has already been worth it and is only going to get better when my parents move up here. If you haven't already heard my Mom just got a job in Provo. She will be moving up here next week and my Dad will follow as soon as their house sells in Blanding, so if any of you Blanding folk are looking for a great house call Mike and Joni Lyman.
Hayden had a lot of fun with her cousins. Heidi and Nicole were great babysitters.
Hayden was teething most of the trip so she wasn't her normal happy self.
We went to the Oregon State Fair and saw a lot animals, looked at some really cool cakes, rode some fun rides and ate some yummy ice cream (don't tell Nicole :)
Hayden couldn't quite make it through the whole day at the fair.
So Cute!!!
Saturday we went to the coast. It was such a nice day, not too cold and not too hot. Hayden loved playing in the sand. This picture was taken right when we got there, she defiantly didn't look like this when we left.
Many of you may or may not know. But as of tomorrow I am no longer a resident of Phoenix AZ. Hayden and I will be flying to Portland, OR to visit my sister and her family. We will stay there for about a week and will then fly into the Salt Lake airport! After that we will drive to our new home (Lee & Leah Gibbons) which we will be staying at until Colin has secured a job and starts bringing home the bacon so we can afford a house of our own!! We are very excited to be back in Utah and can't wait for winter! :)
Here are some recent pictures that have nothing to do with this post, but they are cute.
Hayden's first ponytail. I have mixed feeling about her growing hair. I like that is can been fixed cute, but now I have no excuse to not fix it!
Gavin and Hayden dressing up like Gansters/Pirates.
Hayden fell asleep while I was feeding her. (Right when I took the picture she opened her eyes.)
Last week we went to Blanding AGAIN!! It had only been three weeks since the last Blanding visit, but we like it there so much we just can't stay away. Colin was able to spend the weekend with us and when he went back to work Hayden and I stayed the rest of the week. Saturday we went up on the mountain, rode four wheelers, hung out at the cabin and played horseshoes and yes, I went undefeated!! The rest of the week we took advantage of the nice weather and went on a lot of walks and just played outside as much as we could. It was a great visit. 
One of Grandpa and Hayden's many wagon rides.
She loved the pool!
Hayden fell asleep twice while riding. It was amazing because she wasn't even that tired. Four wheelers must have some magical way of putting babies to sleep, I wish I had that power!
