Spring Break

For spring break this year we stayed at a resort in Clear Lake, California for 5 days and it was so much fun! We went with our friends Taylor and Sarah and get this, they still like us! We drove to Reno Friday and made the rest of the trip Saturday. On our way back, we left California at 3:30 A.M. to shorten the trip for Haddyn. She did awesome...on our way home. The last 100 miles to Reno she screamed and screamed. It was great fun...especially for Taylor and Sarah. They may never have children : )

While there we spent a day in San Francisco and a day touring vineyards in Napa Valley. We stopped at the museum at Donner Pass and both found churches to attend Sunday in a nearby town. We ate way too much food and spent all kinds of money and had so much fun doing it. In fact, Sarah and I had the most expensive side salad we'll hopefully EVER eat...9 stinkin' dollars! I would have taken a picture if I knew how much it was before I ate it. Actually, I wouldn't have GOTTEN it if I would have know how much it was ahead of time, but hey, livin' it up right?

We had tons of fun in San Fran, but there were 2 highlights. 1st...we were going to take the cable car up to Lombard St. but it was going to cost almost $40 for our little family of three, plus stroller and car seat. Hmmm, after the $9 side salad, we were pretty broke. So, we looked at the map and it was only 4 blocks away---we can walk that! Didn't know it was 4 blocks straight up!

2nd...I had just finished feeding Haddyn in an entry to an apartment complex, which was the only bench we could find not surrounded by 500 people. I handed her to Scott to hold while I put the baby holder thingy on and she had a slight projectile moment. BUT, she missed her own clothes!! Good girl : ) Needless to say, my Mom's "prize" got worn and washed before she ever got it!

It was great fun and we had awesome friends to go with who were totally easy going and luckily not bothered by Scott mostly, but they even loved our screaming baby. We can't wait to do something like this again, but it will most likely be A WHILE, so guess we'll just have to keep this trip near and dear to our hearts!

Pictures

So on Saturday we took Haddyn to have her pictures taken for the 3rd time in her life. This occasion was for a dress. This dress was my older sisters' to start with and then I wore it and her daughter Kortnee wore it and her daughter Morgan wore it and now it was Haddyn's turn. This was the first time she smiled in a photograph!! Thank heavens for the blue, fuzzy teddy bear. (I wonder if we should have bought it from them) I'm going to post a pose in a basket too and I almost had them set it up again after we'd figured out the trick to get a smile, but Haddyn was not into making that process take any longer than it had to and therefore, neither were we!

Laundry Time

So Haddyn helped me do laundry this weekend and took a ride in the basket at the same time. She enjoyed being pulled around and smiled and giggled--so cute!

Finally!!

I have been wanting to get a blog for soooo long and FINALLY here we are! Now we have a fun way to keep in touch with those who like us enough to check it out, which I know is everyone we know : ) Haddyn is growing like a weed and will soon be 5 months and walking and talking. J/K, but she will be sitting up soon! School and work are grand for both Scott and I and if anyone has or knows of a good finance job...let us know. We're willing to move, so all of you who want us closer to you, get on it!!! : ) I'll add pics and junk later, but enjoy!
