Photos and Random Stuff

Allright, at the "gentle coaxing" of Nancy and Co. I am adding some more photos of Hailey and Alli to the blog. Since this is a landmark day (2 blogs in consecutive days! Woo Hoo!), I will just add some photos and quickly describe them.

The above photo was taken in our living room and is meant to be our Christmas card. It took forever to get baby to keep her eyes open for the picture. She does look really nice with the bow in her hair though. The top shot is one of Me and Boo Baby when we were setting up the Christmas decorations.

Here is Hailey again. She is actually pretty strong for her age, she's able to hold her head up already and stand as long as we help balance her. She likes looking around at anything that is bright or shiny. In this photo, she was staring at the laptop screen.

The next photo is of Krystal and her "significant other," Grant. They came to visit during Thanksgiving break. It was the first time that Krystal had met a lot of Grant's family (which is always a nerve racking experience) and the first time that Grant had met us, so we tried to be nice to him. I took the pic of them and told Krystal how nice the picture looks, but I didn't show her. I think she may be mad at me for posting a picture of her right as she woke up, but she loves me and will forgive me quickly. :)

The last pic is of our backyard with snow in it. Too bad Mom and Dad won't get to see any snow this year!

Hope this fills you baby craving, Mom! I need to get back to studying. For some reason, it is easier to listen to Rage Against the Machine and mess around on Youtube than do my homework.

PS... Hailey is being blessed on Sunday. Anyone who would like to come is welcome to join us!

We got snow.

We went to SLC this last weekend for the Rowley family Chistmas party and came home today to an inch of snow on the ground. I don't know weither to be excited or bummed- sledding on old main is fun, but snow is cold. The drive down was pretty horrible, not only was the wind blowing the snow sideways, but there was a bunch of fog on I-15 and two cars had slid off the road in Sardine canyon. You gotta love winter in Logan. I am sitting in the top floor of the library and taking a break from studying for finals. I have two on Tuesday and one Thursday morning. Alli and Hailey are still in SLC, dipping candy for Christmas. In other words, I miss my wife and kid! Heres a newer shot of The Boo (that is Hailey's nickname).

It has been a weird week. I am going to start a new job on the 16th working as the Front Office Manager at the SpringHill Suites Marriott on the south side of town. I quit my job at the Hampton Inn on the 3rd, and I haven't had anything to do besides studying since then. You would think that I would have great grades on my finals since I have had so long to study, but I don't know if that will be the case. I'm pretty excited for the new job. The company I am going to work for manages a string of properties in Utah and Idaho and will be working on a new hotel in Pocatello right as I graduate, so they told me that if all goes well, I should be ready to go to Pocy in about a year. Well see how it all works out.

Alli is done for the semester with her 2 online classes and is just hanging out with Boo Baby now, dreading having to go back to work after New Year's. We had a great Thanksgiving with the Maxfield's a few weeks ago and can't wait for school to be finished. She made all of the bedding for Hailey's crib and the quilt that Hailey is crying on in the pic above. We have all of our Christmas decorations up and we will have to get some pictures of the house up soon.
