Happy 5 Year Birthday Hagen!

Happy birthday Hagen. On Sunday the 10th was Hagen's 5th birthday. Cute little guy was so excited to eat cake and told everyone that it was his birthday. Hagen is an energetic little boy who loves batman, playing the wii, and loves going to school. He is a great brother and is always willing to share and always includes his little sister Sidney in everything he does. He got lots of fun toys from his aunt and uncles and cousins while in Arizona When we came home from Arizona, Jared and I gave Hagen his present from our family. He loved it and wanted to play all night.

Happy Birthday Hagen!!

Lake Havasu, Arizona

This last weekend we went for a little road trip to Arizona where my brother and his wife are living. We drove most the day on Friday and then on Saturday we went to a little mining town called Oatman on Rte 66. This little town has wild donkeys everywhere. We stopped and fed the donkeys cheese crackers and granola bars until Sheldon and Julie showed up with the carrots. Sidney wasn't too sure of the donkeys at first but eventually warmed up to them and had a blast feeding them. feeding more donkeys

On Sunday we went to see the Parker Dam.

We also went to see the London Bridge. Which is the 2nd most visited site in Arizona :)

On sunday we went swimming at one of the pools

that Sheldon and Julie's landlord owns. It was a really nice day. We bbq'd and swam and later that night we celebrated Hagen's 5 yr birthday and sang for Aunt Julie since we didn't see her on her birthday and for Jared since his birthday is in the next few weeks. sidney and Jace playing with their beach balls

We had a fun little trip away from the snow and cold. Thanks for taking us in Sheldon and Julie, we had great time!

4 weeks

So, 4 weeks has come and gone. Seems like it has been longer, maybe because of the lack of sleep. He spends the day going from his boppy to his bouncer to his swing. He is starting to sleep longer at night and stays a wake longer and longer each day. He smiles more and is more vocal when he is upset or hungry. He is a good little guy, I couldn't ask for a better baby. Dad and Calvin taking a little nap. He sleeps better when he is sleeping with someone.

3 weeks!

Here is little Calvin snoozing in his bouncer. He is officially hit the three week mark. He smiles the biggest smiles when you talk to him and is starting to stay a wake a little more than normal. I am not sure what he weighs but he is definitely starting to fill out.Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of this last week was so nice. I went out and cleaned the garage and raked the lawn. The kids played outside and asked every day for me to fill the pool with water so they could swim. This morning I got up to feed Calvin and looked out the window and this is what I saw. Couldn't believe it and the rest of the week is supposed to be full of rain. Definitely looking forward to a green grass and lots of sun.

On Saturday (yesterday) we went for a little drive to Tibble Fork to see if we could locate a trail that leads to a small cave for camping. Despite the fact that their is snow on the ground it was actually not too cold.

We all got out and skipped rocks and hung out by the water.

It has been a fun weekend.
