Snow mobiling+ dancing+ cupcakes= Complete update!!!!

Well here are MOST of the pictures from February and March. Its all you get. I frankly don't want to pull them off the old lappy.


VALENTINE'S DANCE
So right after we got back from Montana, Ron realized that the stake Valentine's Dance was that night and they were having nursery for kids any age. Ron and I decided why not? Lets live the old days of being 14 dncing awkwardly to slow dances. Plus it was a date night without Hayden. Surprisingly it turned out to be tons of fun! They taught us how to do different styles of ballroom. Towards the end we decided to go get hayden and let him join in on the fun, and BOY DID HE!!! Hayden loves loves LOVES LOVES music. So he was on cloud nine when Mom and Dad took him out dancing with them.



ALL SMILES!!!!

HAYDEN
Hayden has figured out the art of climbing...
This was when he first discovered it. He has since mastered our entire staircase which is pretty big. Every time we go upstairs we let him climb himself and he scurries as fast as he can cause he thinks we're playing hide and seek and he has to hide.
Yes he knows how to play hide and seek, and its hilarious!

Baby Mozart
This kid loves music like I said before.
He dances whenever he hears it.
He'll sing and hum himself to sleep
and whenever there is a piano or we pull our keyboard out he'll go to town on it.
I tribute this love because I took choir when I was very pregnant with him, and he would kick to the beat when I would sing to him or he would hear music.





Island Park
After the pukey weekend and wedding in St. G, Ron, Hayden, and I took off for Island Park to spend a few days at our Grandpa and Grandma Gardner's Cabin to hang out with Ron's Brother Jason, His wife Leann, and their kids. It was a ton of fun!! I have only seen Jason's family once and that was for about 20 minutes during our wedding weekend over 2 years ago!!!! I was glad to finally get to know them.
There was so much snow it was insane!!!!! This was just the road while we rode the snow mobiles. It was tons of fun and of course the views were BREATH-TAKING!


We made snow angels
yes that awesome hot pink and purple snow suit is my grandma's.... LOVE IT!!!






Yeah See that snow drift? We took this picture so you could see how high the snow actually was!!! UP TO OUR HEADS!!!!!


This little man had a ball even if he was still pukey and poopy! Poor thing







Family Photo

Now to What you've all been waiting for...
An update on
OUR BABY CHUB HAYDEN

He is 9 months old... but he'll be 10 in a day and a half
Where the HECK did that time go? Seriously 1 year in 2 months?
Jackie's Baby shower... Aunt Stephie felt that Hayden needed to get
in touch with his feminine side.
He is into EVERYTHING!!!!! We have bought the cupboard clips and electric socket protectors. We have no decorations within his reach apart from our fake tree, which he feels the need to taste test the moss everyday just to make Dad irritated. He doesn't ever go after it when I'm around. Am I really that scary? hahaha

He Has four teeth now. He looks like a gopher or Rabbit. Whichever smile he decides to sport for you. He is the happiest baby ever!!!!!! He only cries when he's hungry or doesn't feel well.


He just loves to play with his Daddy
He does this everytime I bring the camera out... He hates the orange light that comes up when I am focusing the camera... Its a reflex and this is how more than half his pictures turn out


He went to war with Ron and a Vanilla Cupcake.... He wanted some and Ron was just to slow for him. Before Ron could catch him he stole the cupcake and had it in his mouth and everywhere else! I about died of laughter from this... Ron was way sad stating "I really wanted my cupcake." hahahahahaha still laugh about this.


Then I decided what the heck I know he isn't one and shouldn't be getting too much sugar, but I couldn't help it, and look at how happy he was that he got his chocolate cupcake. Don't worry I only gave him about 1/3 of the it. It made for some good pictures thats for sure.




He was in CUPCAKE HEAVEN

See squinty eyes for the camera


And he made sure to lick his fingers just to make sure he didn't miss a single bite.
Other news:
Ron: Officially got accepted to University of Montana, but this is our last resort school. It just doesn't have the assistantships that we want. Assistantships are basically teaching positions at the school teaching labs and such. They will take away out of state tuition and sometimes give you a monthly stipend as you're not supposed to work while you're in grad school. Anyways they just don't give us the stability that we will need while going to school. We're really hoping for Vegas. Teaching is going very well, but he's getting sick of teaching labs and he is ready to be teaching a real legit class, but he still has a long while.
Maggie: Still staying at home with the babe. I currently keep myself busy by taking hayden out for walks and doing this and that around the house. I have also have gotten back into the habit of going to the gym for 2 hours about 4 days a week. I love it!!! I'm so sick of Rexburg its insane. I am sick of snow, and cold, and I'm ready to be in a bigger warmer town.
Hayden:Like I said is basically 10 months old. He is into everything. He has recently discovered he too has a sense of humor. He thinks its SOOOOO funny to feed mom and dad his bottle like we feed him. He loves to play in the fridge, the bathroom, and any cupboard or closet he knows he is not supposed to be into. He can say Mom, Dad, Ya, and UH-OH. super cute. He also is sleeping through the night again!!! I seriously couldn't be happier to have a full nights rest again. Its heaven.
Well thats all. Hope you enjoyed the pictures and update.
