Pink snow birdie





Our little family decided to take the month of January to "snow bird" to St George. Adam's parents bought his grandparents house so we had an excuse to go down. It has been so much fun! We've had the Ostler's traditional New Year's party week down here. Then we took off for a week to go to California to play at Disneyland. When we returned to St George the Record's came down for the weekend. We've had the best time playing in the sun and its hard to even think about going back to the cold. Our good friends The Holland's even made the trek down too and surprised us for the weekend. Its been a month filled with cupcakes,sand dunes,walks,pizza factory,playing the Wii,swimming at the rec center,playing in the sun,shopping and more. I guess its been a month long vacation and really who could ask for more.




Lil brother




We've grown to a family of 4. Little baby Record "Liam Hayes" was born Oct. 8th @ 8:22am and weighed 5 lbs 3 oz 18.5 inches long. We love him so much! It's been an adjustment to have a little newborn again but it's so wonderful. He is such a good baby. It was easy for Haven to love him although he made her cry every time he cried. He is now 4 months and they both find joy in each other. She loves to get him to smile and is proud to be the big sister. It's such a blessing to have two sweet kids.

What you've been missing...

Its been forever since we've posted anything on our family. So, what have you been missing? Let me fill you in. The big news is that we are expecting (baby #2) in Oct. a BOY! I guess I have that to blame for my lack of blogging over the last 6 months. Morning sickness this round took me out for a couple months. I am finally starting to feel better and have energy to get out and do stuff again. Haven is growing up so fast. She's accomplished some big milestones over the last few months. Potty trained!! and goodbye to her binky. She loves to play and runs almost everywhere. She's discovered being a girly girl and loves to wear dresses and twirl. She's starting the princess and barbie phase. She loves balloons. One day as we lost one up in the sky she said with a very excited voice "I can be a purple butterfly and fly up and get my balloon." I can't believe how grown up she is and we are excited to see her take on the role as a big sister. She loves babies and is already such a big helper to her mommy and daddy. We took her to "Baby Animal Days" at "This is the Place Park" and she got to hold a baby ducky and ride a pony. She loves to tell everyone how she got to hold the baby duck and it was biting her finger. She is full of life and love and makes us laugh.

Do you see what I see







It truly is the most wonderful time of the year and I am having a little bit of those post Christmas blues, I can't believe how fast it came and went. I am finding more joy each year, I think because we also celebrate Haven and Adam's birthdays around the holiday season. We really had the best Christmas and I was so excited for Haven that I couldn't sleep Christmas Eve (I felt like a kid again). Adam's brother and his family were in town and we did lots of fun things.

(This is the Place Monument Park, sledding, Christmas bell caroling, eating, playing the Wii)

I feel so much gratitude for all my blessings and for family and friends.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!

Turning 2




We had a really fun birthday party with our family this year for Haven's big number 2. It was a "barnyard theme" with good old fashioned pin the tail on the donkey, duck shooting game and mud pie eating contest (ie chocolate pudding/oreo's with gummy worms) Haven loves to sing "Happy Birthday" and has been practicing for a couple months now. She loved the balloons and all her gifts.

Thanks everyone for helping her have a great day:)
