THE WILDINGS

Monthly Update

2009-10-02T11:17:00.000-07:00

"babies" in each shoe

All of her "babies" lined up taking a bath

I've been horrible about updating my blog. I just sort of forget, so here it is my monthly update. Hadley is almost 3, and so much fun! She'll say the funniest things. Like when asked what she's doing "I'm just chillin mom," and I just think where in the world did you come up with that! She loves, loves, loves all her toy animals. She is much more interested in animals than dolls. She calls them her babies, and her stuffed animals are her fellas. Anything that she can put stuff in she'll fill as full as she can with her "babies." Whether it be a purse, bag, shoes, her farmers(barn) they will be full! She also might have a slight case of OCD. As you can tell in the pictures, she has to have things lined up just perfectly. So cute, I love to see her learning and getting older. Well, I don't know about the getting older part so much! Ashlyn is almost 3 months, and is definitely already showing her little personality. She loves to be talked to, just lights up and tries to talk back. She loves to look around, and is finding her hands very interesting. She's getting so big, as you can tell by those chubby little cheeks momma's feeding her milkshakes! So dang cute! As for Jeff and I we're just staying busy and trying to keep up with these two little munchkins!

Ashlyn

2009-09-02T14:35:00.001-07:00

So these are like a month old but I still had to post a few. Ashlyn is getting so big and is starting to smile. She just melts my heart, I love my girls!

New Arrival!

2009-07-23T13:52:00.000-07:00

So our sweet baby girl made her appearance two weeks ago today! Luckily this time labor wasn't near as long. In fact Jeff made it just in time. I dialated from a 4 to a 10 in about 45 min, and she was here! All 8lbs and 20 1/2 in of her! She's perfect in every way, and we love her to pieces! Hadley is loving being a big sister and is so sweet to her. She always wants to hold and kiss baby Ashlyn! I'm crossing my fingers that she stays this sweet, and that the little jealous streak won't come out. So far so good!

What We've Been Up To...

2009-05-04T13:43:00.000-07:00

Loves her cowboy hat

Easter dress

Playing with cousin Gentry

Loves bubbles

Loves her Aunt Claire
Finger painting with pudding and markers

New Tractor

Circus with Shelby

Isaiah's blessing

First Haircut!

It's been a long while since I've updated, I thought it was probably about time. I have so many pictures, but I'll try to condense them. We've been busy with all sorts of stuff this last few months. I'm finally feeling better with this pregnancy. It was rough there for awhile, my poor child watched a lot of movies and of course made messes while mom layed on the couch! She's been such a little trooper. Only 2 more months to go, can't wait for our baby GIRL to get here!

Big Sister!

2009-01-23T11:48:00.000-08:00

Yes, it's true Hadley's going to be a big sister. We're excited to be adding another little one to the family come July! I don't think Hadley quite understands it yet, but every time we ask her what's in momma's tummy she says a "brother." So, we'll see if she's right here in about a month!

Family Pics

2008-11-18T12:46:00.000-08:00

My sweet friend Jessie took our family pictures, and I love how they turned out. I'm sharing a few of my favorites. Here's the deal though, I need help deciding on which family picture to enlarge! What's your vote!?

Halloween All in One

2008-11-06T19:39:00.000-08:00

So I know I'm a little late to do a post for Halloween, but I'm going do it anyways. We had a busy Halloween Week. We had a family party, kids party, and an adult friend party. It was so much fun, I love Halloween and seeing all the kids in their costumes. I must say Hadley's costume definitely fit her! She is for sure the Queen Bee around here! Hope you all had a fun Halloween!

The BIG 2!

2008-10-14T06:29:00.001-07:00

Happy Happy Birthday to my sweet princess girl! I can't believe she's already 2! She has been and still is such a sweet little spirit, and brings so much happiness into our lives daily. I never could have imagined loving a little one this much! Hadley we love you so much, and our lives are blessed daily because of you! Love mom & dad

4YRS!

2008-10-09T16:06:00.000-07:00

It was our Anniversary on the 7th, and my poor husband was sick all day! Needless to say we didn't do much but I can't complain because we did just get back from Powell and Washington! I just wanted to tell my husband how much I love and appreciate him and am excited to see what the next 4 years will bring! Love you babe!!!

New Baby Ward

2008-09-14T17:52:00.000-07:00

My cute brother Scott and his wife Des had there little baby boy this morning! They're still deciding on a name. Isn't he so adorable! It's been a busy last 2 months in our families with babies. Jeff's brother and his wife had a baby girl Gentry, and my other brother Brian and Alyce had a baby girl Kate. I would post those pictures but they won't download for some reason! So fun, I just love babies they're so innocent and sweet! Congratulations you guys, love you!

Summer Update

Summer is quickly coming to an end, and I can't believe how fast it's come and gone! It's been awhile since I've posted, so here's a few things that we've been up to the last month or so.

Picture Tag

2008-07-28T13:40:00.001-07:00

This was pretty fun! Sneak peak into my house!Read after the last picture to see if you've been tagged....The rules are you have to take 10 pictures of the following things and you have to do it right away. No straightening, cleaning or wiping your child's nose. Then you tag six others.

#1 Closet#2 Laundry Room #3 Fridge
#4 Kitchen Sink
#5 Favorite Room
#6 What kids are doing right now#7 Toilet
#8 Favorite Shoes
#9 Dream Vacation

It would be to Bali. Picture wouldn't work!

#10 Self Portrait

That picture wouldn't work either!

I tag: Deb, Ash, Mandy, Emily J, Lisa P., and Tiff

Happy Late 4th!

2008-07-11T22:13:00.001-07:00

We had a fun filled 4th of July weekend. It started off with Jeff and Jeff Ford getting up around 5 am the morning of the parade to go park cars at Dr. Ford's office, then the parade, Bbq and slip n slide at my brother's, and finished with fireworks. Hadley loved the fireworks! She kept saying Wow and it's pretty. Then Sat. we went up to Justin and Mandy's house in Logan (Jeff's brother). We rode horses, ate and just hung out. It was a good time! Hadley couldn't get enough of the Neigh's. That's what she calls the Horses. I just love the Holidays, especially now with Hadley it makes them so much more fun!

The Three "B's"

2008-06-23T10:15:00.000-07:00

Hadley has her three B's that she can't live without. Her Bink, Bella, and Blankie. If she has one, she has to have all three. I'm fine with the Blankie and Bella, but the Bink has got to go sooner or later! She's just so cute with it though! If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of it, please let me know. I'm open for suggestions!

Easter/Mothers Day gift redeemed

2008-06-23T10:01:00.000-07:00

So for Easter and Mother's Day Jeff gave me a trip to Vegas. While there we saw Kenny Chesney and Leann Rimes in concert, went to the spa, and saw Le Reve a Cirque show. It was such a fun relaxing weekend. Thanks babe, love you!

Newport Beach!

2008-05-28T14:52:00.001-07:00

"Shishies"

2008-05-12T15:02:00.000-07:00

Pretty much every morning Hadley wakes up the first thing she asks for is "shishies." Meaning fishies, Finding Nemo. She is obsessed with this movie. Well, I turned it on for her and went to do the dishes. This is what I came back to. I couldn't help but laugh, especially the butt crack picture. If that isn't a true Wilding trait! I just love her to pieces!

Girls Trip!

2008-05-12T14:50:00.000-07:00

This last weekend a few of us girls were able to visit Jill in Vegas. We laid by the pool, went shopping, and of course had a night out on the town! It was such a blast, and we can't wait to do it again! Thanks Jill for letting us crash at your house, we love and miss you always!

New member of the Fam!

2008-04-28T17:26:00.001-07:00

Meet Zoey, the newest member of our family! Yes, it's true we got a dog. Jeff decided to bring her home about a week ago, and it's been potty training 101 ever since! Needless to say I feel like I have another child. Except with a baby I can at least put a diaper on them! We love her though, and especially Hadley.

Elder Wilding!

2008-04-28T16:48:00.000-07:00

Uncle Logan & Hadley
The Brothers (minus Chris)

Ok, so I have some catching up to do. Logan, Jeff's brother left on his mission 2 weeks ago. He's going to the Mexico North mission. We will miss having him around, and of course his sense of humor! We love you uncle Logan, you'll be an awesome missionary!

Easter Time!

2008-03-31T08:50:00.000-07:00

We had a great Easter full of food, fun, and family. Hadley loved what the Easter bunny brought her, and had fun looking for eggs during the easter egg hunt. We love Easter!

Moab Race

2008-03-12T12:04:00.000-07:00

Night before the race. Nothing better than ice cream!
getting ready for the race
Freezing, waiting for race to start!
What the crap did I just do!
So glad it's over!
This last week was pretty crazy. We flew home from Cali on Fri. morning and drove to Moab that afternoon for a race on Sat. Jeff, Tiff, and I all ran the 5 mile. While Jeff F ran the half marathon. He did awesome, ran it in just over 2 hrs. way to go Jeff! I might be able to keep up the next time hahaha!

Sunny California!

2008-03-12T11:00:00.001-07:00

This last week we were able to stay in Newport Beach with Jeff's family. It was a blast, the weather was nice and Newport is a gorgeous place! We took Hadley to Wild Animal Kingdom, Knotts Berry Farm, and the beach. All of which she loved! It really made me anxious for warm weather!

Sick Days

2008-02-28T10:28:00.000-08:00

Jeff and Hadley both got the nasty flu/cold viruses that have been going around. Luckily they're better now after about a week and a half of it. I had to post these pictures, she was so miserable but so cute at the same time. She just laid there on the bed with her dada, while momma ran the room service for the two of them! Needless to say I'm glad they're both feeling better!

Food Mmmm!

2008-02-11T13:08:00.000-08:00

For those of you that don't know, Hadley loves to eat! She will eat anything and everything. If you have food, you instantly become her best friend! When she sees food it's always Mmmm, and then after she takes a bite it gets another Mmmm. I can't complain, she is my good little eater but I think I might have to cut out a few of those cookies. As you can tell, she likes to have the whole tub of cookies!

Early Valentines Gift

2008-02-11T13:00:00.000-08:00

We fit right in!
Just the three of us!
Wanna be cowboys!

For Valentines our husbands surprised us with tickets to the Alan Jackson conert this last Fri. It was awesome, I don't think I've ever seen so many rednecks but that was part of the fun!

THE REAL TIFF!!!

2008-01-20T21:31:00.000-08:00

What color are you?

2008-01-18T12:44:00.001-08:00

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Green

You're green, the color of growth and vigor. Good-hearted and giving, you have a knack for finding and bringing out the best in people. Green is the most down-to-earth color in the spectrum — reliable and trustworthy. People know they can count on you to be around in times of need, since your concern for people is genuine and sincere. You take pride in being a good friend. For you, success is measured in terms of personal achievement and growth, not by status or position. Rare as emeralds, greens are wonderful, natural people. It truly is your color!

Take this test >

Ok, so I retook this test and I think this sounds a little bit more like me!

Mocktail Party, Happy New Year!

The Simplest Things!

2007-11-13T15:40:00.000-08:00

So I was in the other room, and I could hear Hadley just sort of laughing to herself. I found her in Jeff's office just playing in this basket. She thought she was pretty funny! I swear kids don't need toys!

Fall Family Pictures!

2007-11-06T22:14:00.001-08:00

Not a Happy Fairy Princess!

2007-10-30T15:44:00.000-07:00

I tried to take some pictures of Hadley in her costume, but as you can tell she just wasn't having it. I still think she looks pretty cute though!

Halloween Party!

2007-10-30T15:40:00.001-07:00

Happy 3rd Anniversary To Us!

2007-10-22T16:07:00.000-07:00

Well, our anniversary was actually on the 7th of this month. We weren't able to celebrate it until this past weekend. Since we just started the whole taking turns each year thing, I offered to start off since I already had something in mind (thanks to Nat). So we ended up going to the Zermatt Resort in Midway for two nights. It was a nice little getaway, I would recommend it. We ate, shopped, relaxed, and got massages. Which I'm not sure if the guy that gave me mine had ever been around girls, let alone given one a massage. He was seriously shaking so bad during the whole thing, awkward! Happy Anniversary Babe, I Love You!

Worn Out!

2007-10-17T20:41:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, Jeff, Hadley and I had family pictures taken. We were so lucky with the weather, it was perfect for us and as soon as we were done it started to rain. They went really well, Hadley was so good but by the end she was worn out as you can tell by the picture! I can't wait to see the pictures, I'll have to post some when we get them back.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY HADLEY!

2007-10-17T19:43:00.000-07:00

This past Sun. was Hadley's 1st birthday. We spent the weekend at a cabin with all of our friends and celebrated with all of them. Despite me being sick, it was still a blast. I still can't believe my baby is 1! She has blessed our lives in so many ways, and continues to each and every day with her infectious smile and Personality! Hadley we love you so much, Happy Birthday Princess! Thanks to all of our friends for the many gifts, and for helping us celebrate!

Ouch!

2007-09-13T15:31:00.000-07:00

So this is what happened to Hadley On Mon night. She slipped and hit her mouth on the rock floor at my mom's. I felt so bad for her!
Then Tues. she was at the other grandmas, and they went for a walk with the dog. Well, the dogs leash got wrapped around the stroller handle and pulled the stroller over onto the asphalt. Poor thing had a rough couple of days!

Weekend at Grandma's

2007-09-13T15:22:00.000-07:00

Jeff was out of town last weekend, and we all know how well I do staying by myself! So Hadley and I spent the weekend with my parents. I bought her a new walker toy, and she absolutely loves it. She thinks she's so big walking around with it. She can't quite figure out how to move it when she runs into things, and she get s a little upset. I'm sure in trouble when she can really walk on her own!

Garage Sale

2007-09-13T15:17:00.000-07:00

This past Sat, we had a garage sale at the Ford's house. It turned out pretty good. Those of you that missed it, missed out on some pretty sweet stuff! =)-

Baby Baylor

2007-09-01T09:18:00.000-07:00

We have another addition to the Ward clan! Baylor Jack Ward, grandchild #23 was born Thurs. night. Weighing a whopping 9lbs 2 oz, 21 in. He's a big boy, with tons of dark hair and is adorable! Congrats Jeff & Jenn!

Summer FUN!

2007-08-31T17:57:00.000-07:00

Here's just some random pictures of Hadley. She's getting so big, and has figured out how to climb stairs! The last two are of Jeff's Grandpa and cousin Linda. His family was here this last week visiting from Canada. We had so much fun while they were here, unfortunately these are the only picturs I have.

2007-08-31T17:50:00.000-07:00

These pictures are from when we went to visit baby Harper. She is so adorable, and Hadley just loved her. Doesn't Jeff look good with another baby! HAHAHA

2007-08-31T17:33:00.000-07:00

We've been lucky enough to go to Lake Powell 3 times this summer. Once with our friends, my fam, and then his fam and some family friends. Each time was a blast!

2007-08-31T17:24:00.000-07:00

Jill was in town over the 4th, so we had a little get together at our house.

2007-08-31T17:16:00.000-07:00

It's tradition every 4th that we go to Brian & Alyce's for a BBQ, and we set up a slip and slide for the kids. My niece Kelsey took Hadley down and she wasn't quite sure about it!

2007-08-31T16:52:00.000-07:00

Lookin Hot Baby!
My sister-in-law Des can seriously fall asleep anywhere!

Welcome Home Cody!

2007-07-03T15:45:00.000-07:00

Jeff's younger brother Cody returned home on Wed. June 27th. He was serving in Argentina. It was the first time he's seen Hadley. It's good to have him back, he looks great!

So I know it's taken me awhile to posts these pictures, but I've been out of town. It's only been a week, not too bad. We had a blast with those of you that came to Powell, and missed those of you that couldn't make it. There's always next year, seeing as how this will be our annual friend trip now. Thanks so much to all of you for your help with everything, it turned out great!

Orem Summerfest -- BBQ Time!

2007-06-11T09:52:00.000-07:00

This past weekend was Orem Summerfest. Our friends Jessie & Cole had a BBQ before the parade and fireworks. Hadley loved her first parade, but when it came time for the fireworks she was worn out! It was a fun little get together with our friends!

Hadley "Bear"

2007-05-31T08:25:00.000-07:00

I just thought I would add a few recent pictures of Hadley. She's 7 1/2 mo. now, and her personality is really starting to show. Just recently she's gotten her first teeth, she's eating solid foods now, and is starting to get up on her knees. I just know one of these days she's going to just take off. I love being a mom. It's so fun to watch her experience new things and grow each day!

Fun Times on Utah Lake

Jeff's not to sure about this!

So we got the Fords to agree to come boating with us yesterday, and it was a good time! The water is still pretty cold, but I guess that's what wet suits are for! We all got to wakeboard, and Taylor was nice enough to bring some ski's along for me and Tiff.

Vegas Trip

2007-05-23T09:05:00.000-07:00

Aubree, Kaycee, Stacey, Andrea Kelli, Matt, Dave, Jeff

Mother's day weekend Jeff and I got to take our first trip alone since having Hadley. Some friends of ours rented a house with a pool, we went to the O show, and shopped of course. It was a great Mother's day gift. We had a lot of fun, but I missed my baby! It was the first time I've left her, and of course I cried. I'm such a baby sometimes!

Hadley at the Lake

2007-05-23T08:17:00.000-07:00

This was Hadley's first time out on our new boat, and she loved it! I'm sure there will be many more times to come.
