Bye Bye Curls

This is a typical hair day for Dallin. Full head of hair and curls. Everyone has loved Dallin's hair since he was born. As he has gotten older it has started to get straight, but stayed curly on top of his head. This picture was taken about a month ago and we just got Dallin's hair cut yesterday. His bangs were almost to his eyes and I couldn't believe how much hair was cut off.

This is what he looks like now!! These pictures aren't the best, but you can get the idea of how different he looks. He looks more like a little boy and not a baby. He still has some good wave and body to his hair on top and its really thick. We are glag we got it cut, but Scott and I can't stop talking about how different he looks. I got a little sad when I put him down for his nap and he reached up to play with his curls like he always does before he falls asleep, and there wasn't much for him to touch.

Just around the Corner

Spring isn't here yet, but it is just around the corner. I am so ready for warmer weather. We are supposed to have 40 degree weather this week which will be a lot nicer. I am looking forward to going on walks with Dallin like we did last summer.
I never thought when I first moved to Idaho that I would spend 7 winters here, but I have survived!! With a possible move for us in April the thought that I have spent my last winter in Idaho this year makes me so happy!! I have really enjoyed living here being married with Scott and of course I loved the 4 years I was in school, but I am ready for something different. Hopefully a warmer climate will be in store for us.

Cordon Bleu Burgers

If you know me very well at all you know that I love Rachael Ray. I have made some of her recipes before and they have always turned out great or I have used one of her recipes to better one of my own. I was in the mood for something a little different and decided to try one of her burger recipes. It was a total success in our house. I LOVED it and Scott gave me one of the best compliments ever. He said, "This is just like we went out to dinner." He always praises me for my cooking and eats everything I make because he is such a wonderful husband and not a picky eater, but when he said that it just made my day. Thanks to my good pal Rachael Ray. I am excited to try more of her burger recipes because there are so many.

We're Still Alive

I have totally neglected our blog this month. Just wanted to let you know we are all doing fine and trying to keep up with everything that is happening. The weather is still freezing cold but at least we are seeing some sunny days which has been nice.
Earlier this month Scott was gone to Reno, NV for 4 days participating in a Heavy Civil Construction Competition. There were about 30 students total from BYU-Idaho that went and competed on 7 different teams. He had fun and was also able to attend a job fair with about 60 big construction companies that were there. Scott handed out several (over 20) resumes and was able to get some good experience from the trip. Hopefully we will hear back from some of the companies on some possible job opportunities. As of now we don't know if or when we will be moving after graduation in April.
Dallin and I survived while Scott was gone on his trip. I kept myself busy with some projects plus Dallin is enough to keep me busy all the time. He has been getting 2 more of his molars so he hasn't been sleeping well. And he is definitely more picky about what he eats which is normal for his age. I am just trying to be more creative with what food I offer him so that he is still getting the healthy food he needs.
We will keep you informed about our future plans and if we are moving as we know more ourselves.

Silly Boy

Let's play a little game. Instead of Where's Waldo?..."Where's Dallin?" As you can tell Dallin was playing in the coat closet, and you can see only part of his leg in this picture. Do you see him?

Here is more of him revealed if you didn't find him in the first picture.

There he is...you found him!!

Dallin is such a silly boy. He was very amused by playing hide and seek behind the coats, and he thought it was funny because the static made his hair stand up.

15 Months

Dallin had a great check up at the doctor today. Here are his new stats so you can see how well he is growing:
Weight: 20.7 lbs (5th percentile)
Heaight: 32.5 inches (80th percentile)

That means he has gained 2 lbs and 2 inches since his last visit at 12 months. He also just cut through 2 molars on his bottom gums. He is walking all over the place and is doing well with a few words of sign language that we have taught him. It seems like he eats ALL day long and is just a happy, healthy baby.

Happy New Year!

We would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year for 2010!! In this past year we were able to celebrate Dallin's first birthday and him beginning to walk which is very exciting in your child's early years. In the warmer months we had a couple fun camping trips with our family in Utah. Mema and Papa were able to make some trips from Arkansas which was wonderful since we weren't able to visit them. And we are of course very blessed for Scott's new job that he started.
We are excited to see what 2010 will bring our way in the coming year. We know Scott will be graduating in April. With graduation that brings the possibility of a move and new job as well. Just found out that Dallin is going to have a new cousin, and we will be welcoming a new niece or nephew to the family. We are also planning a trip to Arkansas to see all of Aimee's family hopefully early in the summer and many more exciting events we will be able to share with you.
We wish everyone the best in 2010!
