A little late, but Jaden's first birthday!
February 12, 2010

Jaden's first Halloween!

Okay, so we didn't dress him up and take him trick-or-treating.
We had a "photo shoot" with his cousin, Jason. Photography by Savanna (sis-in-law, Jason's mom)






Josh carved pumpkins tonight! This is a witch holding a pumpkin. Pretty creative!


And, Jaden wanted to be with his other cousin, Maci. Since she's 2 hrs away, we decided to do have a stand-in for her. :D Love you Elizabeth! HAPPY HALLOWEEN, everyone!

Jaden ~ 8 months

He loves eating apple and bananas, this day was an apple.


The beautiful fall colors and weather! We had to take a little trip outside!

Disneyland.... cont'd.

Well, we have a lot more pics to post, but I don't feel like doing it today, seeing has how I posted more blogs today than I have at all before on here.. lol I'm done for today!

Hope you like our pics!

DISNEYLAND!

As our second honeymoon after getting sealed, we went to Disneyland. Jaden has a little stuffed Mickey Mouse baby that we have put next to him once in a while and told him it's Mickey Mouse. Well, we got a picture with him, and Jaden was smiling (of course, after the picture). Since Josh might see this blog, I suppose I should tell you this picture of us and Mickey is in California Adventure...Not Disneyland.


I don't think people realize how family friendly Disneyland is. There's sort of a mother's lounge in both Disneyland and California Adventure. They have bottles, formula, diapers, wipes, pacifiers, and a few other things you might need if you didn't pack your bags very well. Of course you have to pay for them, but they're there. They also have an area for you to feed toddlers, a little kitchen area to warm up things and rinse stuff off. There's an awesome changing room. Little potties for children 32" and shorter. An area for breastfeeding mothers,and a little room for mothers to pump if they need to.
Jaden, Josh, and I got the opportunity to meet Rabbit and Tigger while in there!



Later, we were in the stores looking around, and Cinderella decided to show up!

The Hoover Dam

On our way from St. George to Anaheim, Josh asked if I wanted to see the Hoover Dam. I didn't even really know where it was. I knew it was in the western part of the U.S. ...Josh knew pretty much where it was, I felt a little dumb. But he's been there before, so I didn't feel so geographically uneducated. So we put it in the GPS and realized it only added an hour to our drive (and we were doing good on time anyway). They're building a bridge that goes over the water. It's HUGE! There are a ton of cables holding things up.

The Hoover Dam is a little overwhelming. On the drive there I was getting anxious just because on movies it looks HUMONGOUS! There's a radio station you can listen to that gives you information about the tours. Literally, they have a new tour called the Dam Tour. HAHA If you've watched National Lampoon's (some vacation) they go to the Hoover Dam. The brother-in-law asks the tour guide about the dam tour and the dam bathroom, etc. It was hilarious when Josh and I heard about the new tour name. We were going to go on a tour, but there was something going on (testing or something...) so we watched a movie about the dam history and then walked through the little museum they have. We saw some dam rocks, dam water, dam wind, among many other dam things.

It was a little bright for Jaden, but inside the building, he was pretty dam happy!
