Birthday Boy! ~ #3 ~

Hazen just turned 3 this last Friday (4/23)! I can't believe my lil man is growing up so fast. He is such a fun & happy boy. It truly amazes me how he relates to people. He is such a understanding little thing at his young age. I hope he always stays that way. :) Thanks to all the friends & family who came over to celebrate his birthday with us. Here are some things that Hazen loves to do all by himself... he's very independent!... :

*Says his own prayers

*Potty trained

*Ropes on his own... been doing this for a lil over a year now. :) (He swings a nice loop too)

*Gets himself dressed or tells me what he wants to wear... (it's usually his bulldogging shirt or so he calls it.)

*Pretends to play "Cowboy" & travels to various rodeos daily... or so he tells us.

*Rides his own big boy bike... which he asked for his 3rd birthday... & it had to be RED.

* Knows all his colors

* Counts to 20 (usually anyhow still messes up now & then)

*Writes the letter H

*Helps me with whatever he's asked

He has a very special spirit & we honestly don't know what we'd do without him!!!!

Not an April Fool's ...

We'll be seeing more BLUE around our home...

We found out yesterday that we'll be expecting another little BOY...

DUE DATE: 08/19/2010

This is a profile ultrasound of the healthy baby boy... it's not the greatest because this little one didn't want to cooperate & roll over. At least we know he's a content lil thing. :) We are very excited!!

4 MORE months to go...

UPDATE!!!...

Wow it's been so long since I've made a post! I have really been slacking over the winter w/ blogging. Not only that but I haven't taken very many pictures either... So because of that I'm only posting a few from this winter, & mostly of Christmas. Sorry it's so boring. I'll try to get something fun & exciting posted rather soon. Hope everyone is doing well.

Halloween... Oregon Trip! :)

So this past October was a very eventful one!... I was lucky enough to be able to go on a "Girls Only" trip with my two sisters, mom, & my niece. We had such a BLAST! :) We had so many laughs, good talks, & tons of site seeing. It was AMAZING! Oregon is BEAUTIFUL! Especially in the autumn season. It was great to get away but it was nice to get back home to my boys! Halloween was a blur for us because everything seemed to run together... (my trip, getting ready for snow, & of course Halloween) I swear everything just all happens way to quickly! We've been having lots of fun lately but I have had so little time to make a post! :)

Billings Montana Wrangler Championships 2009

Here are a few shots of the fun we had while getting away to Billings for about 4 days. I LOVE Montana! Hazen had to try his luck on the roping dummy. He took his turn along side of the other "older" boys who were like 14-16 yrs. old. He didn't care, he just wanted to rope. :) Doug & I both roped in the championships there in Billings. This was from about 3wks ago but I'm finally getting it posted. Sorry. :)

 

From Baby to Big BOY!!

Hazen is getting so grown up it's unbelievable! Today I spent the day cleaning & doing a few things around the house... not to mention take down all of his baby bedding & put his BIG BOY bed up! I about started to bawl. I cannot believe he's too big for that dang crib!... Actually, I can I just didn't want to have to admit it. :) It was kind of hard for me to make the change, but it was well over due.

This is a picture of Hazen's room before w/ his crib still up...

& these last two pic's are w/ the new bed put up. He was so excited to have his "BIG BOY" bed up that he had to hurry & test it out. He told me, "OK mom I'm ready, take the picture... CHEESE!" He's such a ham! We love this little guy. Now we are just crossing our fingers that he'll realize he's getting bigger & want to be a big boy & go on the toilet... UGH! BOYS! LOL! Any suggestions would be WONDERFUL.

"Summer Livin!"

Awh . . . SUMMER!! It's been a fun & very busy one. It's almost been 2 whole months since I've last posted anything. Why is it that summer always seems to fly by so quickly? Especially in IDAHO where the weather is un-predictable! :) We managed to fit plenty of exciting things into our time frame, & plenty of productive things also. These pictures are a collection of just some of the summer events that have kept us busy: swimming, Lagoon, mowing the lawn, hauling hay, spending time w/ family, spotting game in our back yard, washing horses, George Strait concert, Montana, & of course ROPING! Sorry I haven't elaborated on anything, but we've just been goin goin. I will be a faithful blogger just as soon as things slow down a bit. ;)
