Hailey's first time skiing!

We went up to Idaho Falls over President's Day weekend to hang out with Brandon's family. Ben and Michelle were there and it was fun to see them since we haven't seen them since they moved to WA. We went up to Targhee to ski a few days. We decided it would be fun to see if Hailey liked skiing. Brandon's parents had found a pair of ski boots her size on sale for $10. And Brandon has connections for skis. Hailey was so excited when Brandon showed her her princess skis. She dragged them all around the house with her.

The Girls

She took her first ride down and screamed and cried the whole way. She just wanted mommy. So we took a run and tried to bribe her with food! Didn't really work. Luckily at Targhee they have a little beginners hill that has what they call the Magic Carpet. It's basically a conveyor belt you stand on and it takes you back up to the top of the hill. Brandon's dad tried taking her down once and finally I took her down. She still wasn't loving it so we called it quits and I pulled her around in a sled after that.

January & February Recap

I have been slacking in the blog world lately. Here's what we've been up to...

Playing in the snow and building snowmen. Fortunately (or unfortunately) we have had a mild winter and not a lot of snow. But we have been enjoying it when we can. 

Baby Snowman aka Baby Frosty. Not great packing snow so we settled for a little guy.

Hailey got a Treehouse Museum Membership for Christmas. It's a great children's museum here in Ogden. She loves running around and finding new things to play with.

Going to Birthday parties! Hailey's friend Taylor turned 3 and had a princess party. All the girls came dressed up in their princess attire. We don't really have any of that yet so we improvised. 

Here is Hailey and her friend Aubrey. 

Kangaroo Zoo! This is every kid's dream! Well, except for Hailey. This place is full of those bounce house type of structures. Some have slides and obstacle courses. They have some great areas for toddlers only. Hailey went for the first time with a couple of friends. They had a blast. Hailey whined and cried for the first hour or so and just wanted me to hold her. She wasn't so sure about that bouncing ground. After much coercing I finally got her to play in one of the toddler areas. We are going to try again soon.

Sick days :( We spent a little time laying around and snuggling. Feeling much better now.

Dew Tour! Brandon and I have gone to the Dew Tour the last few years. It's always fun to go watch the skiers and snowboarders and their amazingness. 

Hailey liked the chair lift. She kept calling it the swing!


Just taking her baby for a walk. Her friend Taylor went and got her stroller and baby too!
