Hello again! January 6th 2011. Wow! Today is Hayden's 2 yr check up. December 20th was her 2nd birthday!!! Dora the Explorer was the theme....for the party and gifts :) This is her first newest craze!!! It is such a joy to watch her grow and learn every day. She is such a 'chatty patty' and we can't imagine where she gets that from!
Next week I start back into the second semester of the LPN program. I graduate in May!!!! However one more year to complete for my RN. The first semester was challenging yet enlightening. I enjoy learning....but the time and process gets stressful!!! I'll be completing clinical 2 days a week and continuing to work for the Private Industry Council the other 3+ days in the week. Busy busy but it has gone by fast!
Aaron continues to work at home and the elevator. He is diving into an expansion on the farm this Spring which we are excited for!!!! Many more piglets to come!!!
This last year has been a whirlwind and we are looking forward to where life is going to bring us this year!!!!
Take care....

Ok...so i'm almost starting OVER!!!! Today I realized that it's been 7 MONTHS since our last blog. Today with facebook and all busy-ness just hard to put it all down. So here we go :)
December Hayden Ree turned the big 1 yr old! Now of course she is nearing 16 months! Growing, growing and growing! Everyday is a new day full of learning moments for her and Aaron and I. We are truely blessed with parenthood!
February 13th Aaron and I were married on the beautiful beaches of the Riviera Mya Mexico at the RIU Yucatan resort. 20 of our close friends and family came to share our special time together! We enjoyed every minute there! But were ready to come home to our little princess ;)
Now, it's that time of the year again and Aaron is getting in the field. Last night was the first late night of many to come. It goes by fast though...Hayden is good at keeping us on our toes and wearing us out! Time goes by too fast!
Last week I registered for my LPN classes to start again in the Fall. I'm excited and a little overwhelmed at the same time :)
Enjoy the pics and I promise to keep better touch!

Two teeth and crawling :~)
Again...I've fallen behind! Hayden just turned 9 months on Sunday. She had her 9 month check up Monday...2 teeth, 21.3 lbs, 29.5 inches long and a very healthy, happy baby! Doc says...she must be a good eater...yes, haven't found anything she doesn't like :~) We are so lucky to have her :~) It's so fun to watch her grow and see her personality come out. Grandpa Carlson says she is going to be just a 'little spitfire!' Time will tell :~) Hayden has been saying 'Ma-ma, da-da, na-na, ba-ba and nnnnnnnnnnaaaaahhhhhhh....which i beleive is used in the context of no :~) This last weekend I grabbed her hand and said 'no no...' in which she met with a smile and a giggle. Looks like that is going to go over rather well!
We have had a very busy 2.5 months. August was filled with 2 weddings, my 10 yr (already!) class reunion, birthday parties (Aaron, Grandpa Miller, Auntie Cheri, Uncle Dustin and Chris), dinner with friends and remodeling the basement yet! We are so looking foward to next summer when the only project we have is mowing our lawn!
We have the wedding and vacation reserved and are so excited for February 13th to get here! I bought my wedding dress and bathing suit both on the same day ( you have to love mexico!)
Aaron is always busy, however he is entering his super busy time of the year. So happy it rained yesterday and today so we get to spend a little more time with him before our paths begin to cross only while were sleeping...tear.
Take care til next time!

6 1/2 months already...
Sooooo...i'm really bad at keeping up with the blog. I'll try harder! But as you can see, I've been busy spending time with the Aaron and the little one that is not soooo little anymore!!!
Hayden had her 6 month check up last week and is a whomping 17 lbs and 11 oz already and 27 inches long! Very healthy :~) She has very nice cheeks! She is growing and doing wonderful! She's a drooling maching...we're hoping a tooth pops up one of these days! She's a very happy baby, lots of smiles and tons of baby kisses! And of course she still looks just like her daddy though :~) She's mastered sitting by herself and eats a whole list of fruits and veggies now! We're making all her food so a little extra work for mom and dad but it's worth it! She just got her first professional photo's taken this morning so i'm excited to scan those and show everyone in a couple weeks!
A couple weekends ago Aaron and I went with our friends Matt and Tracey to a Twins game in the cities. We had a great time! Hayden stayed with nana and papa miller and was the best baby they said...no tears :~)
Otherwise it's crazy how much our time is consumed and were not sure what we've did. Work continues to get busier every day. I'm covering in Rock County again 2 days a week for an undertermined amount of time until they find a replacement job counselor. And Aaron is trying to find time to take off to begin our bathroom project in the basement. We got all the materials last weekend...now just need to tear into it :~)
People say you're only as busy as you want to be...so this weekend were planning some R and R over the holiday! Hope everyone is great...keep in touch soon!

4 months and counting...
Hayden's already 4 months old! We just had her check up on Monday. 14 lbs 9 oz and 25 inches long :~) Very healthy baby! Everything went very well...the shots were not fun but we made it through. Hayden rolled over last week! Of course it was at daycare and I haven't seen her do it since. I like to think that it was from us practicing the night before....whatever make me feel better, huh? Her big debute with rice cereal was on Monday night. She really wasn't sure what to think and what to do with her tongue, but by last night, she was like a little bird! The closer the spoon got the bigger her mouth would open. It was funny...soon as she would swallow the spoonful, she'd suck her thumb back in, up came the spoon, out came the thumb with a wide open mouth! Tongue sticking out and all :~) Its so fun! I just love being a mommy!
It's that time of year again! Aaron has been in the field non stop for the past week so we haven't seen much of each other so I'm praying for rain tonight! Hayden's been a little fussy the last couple nights...I think it's 'cuz she misses her Daddy :~) I miss him too...
Just a couple more weeks of school then I'm off for the summer! I'm looking forward to a summer with no school work so I can relax and spend my extra time with Aaron and Hayden, rather than burried in school work.
About a month and half ago we got a new vehicle...it's crazy how much room a little person needs! We love the Pacifica....but i secretly miss the passat :~)
Work has been just crazy! I've been working out of the Luverne office 2 days a week for the past 2 months to cover and train in a new job counselor for Rock county. Yesterday was my last day in that office.....yeah!!!!! Now it's catch up time back in Marshall. We've seen an increase in the amount of cases already and it's only the end of April. Hopefully the job market turns around a bit.
Hope all is well for everyone...take care!

Hello again :~)
Hayden is already 10 and a half weeks old! It's crazy how fast time flies by! It's so fun to watch her grow...she has changed so much already. Seems like every day i tell Aaron..."she's getting so big!" She still loves to be held but now is totally into her play gym. She's 'talking' alot too... my conversation with her is no longer one sided...although i have no idea what she is saying. Aaron likes to pretend that she is saying that she doesn't like otis...so that i'll give in on an adopting option! Not so much :~)
I returned back to work on February 17. It was hard to leave Hayden, but i'm enjoying being back to work with a schedule and routine. Hayden spend the first 2 weeks with Nanna Miller but started at the daycare center yesterday. Surprisingly, i didn't cry! Hayden was smiling when it was time for me to leave so I think that helped :~)
Finished my clinicals this last weekend so i'm finally done with that for the semester! Thank goodness!!! 12 hours days are way too much when your free labor. The rest of school is going well. Spring break next week so time to catch up on nothing :~)
Aaron's been busy as work like usual. He's back in the fantisy racing league to win some more money...however this round isn't going as good as last time. Maybe it's beginners luck? Not that we watch the races anyway...i think it's more to get in on the end of the year party!
Hope everyone has a great week! ~Chow~
