The Hatch Batch

Christmas fun for 2011!!!

2012-01-04T21:12:00.005-07:00

Christmas morning!!! So much fun having little children to watch on Christmas! It is really what makes your Christmas so much fun and special!!!

We got to go on a fun sleigh ride with the Gardner family!!! It was really fun, (except for Emma crying the whole time:) All the children loved riding behind the horses and listening to the bells around their necks!

Kimball Christmas party! The one thing Kaleigh looks forward to every Christmas now is doing the tu-a-tah (spelling?) which is a crazy weird funny dance we do every year!

And of course.... the gingerbread houses!!!! So much fun for everyone, and a great tradition! The only bad thing is that eventually, one day, we have to get rid of the houses and the girls are heart broken!
A great Christmas overall for the Hatch Family!!!

The Famous mattress sliding down the stairs at the cabin! Funny to see my children doing what I did as a young girl! Our awesome cheap glasses we got on sale at Wal-mart! Kal wears her glasses everywhere!

Enjoying the Fall leaves! We spend hours throwing bouncy balls in the pile of leaves and the girls find all of them! Try it, it takes forever and you can get a chance to sit and talk to your spouse without interruptions every second!

We have been taking many walks up to the waterfalls in the canyon!

Been taking many little over-nighters to the cabin! It is so beautiful in the mountains right now! That's right! This child wants to be potty trained. We have been at it for about a month now. She does really good too! Helps having older siblings for them to watch and want to be like!
Now.... any advice on how to break them from the bottle?
Didn't work to well with Kaleigh. I couldn't get her to keep drinking milk after the bottle was gone and I don't want that to happen with Emma too.

Busy, but Fun Halloween!

2011-11-09T21:26:00.003-07:00

Making Halloween cookies! Such a fun tradition in the Hatch Family! Its always a race to see if the parents can decorate the cookies as fast as the children eat the candy!

Carving Pumpkins at Uncle Justin and Aunt Brittneys!!!

Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch with Kaleigh's pre-school! Gardner Village with the Hunters! So fun to get together! Wish it happened more often!

Finally, Halloween night!

We started off the evening being very tired and immediately falling asleep in the car! Luckily, after a few minutes of Trunk-or-Treat, the girls were awake and ready for the evening! We went to eat pizza at grandma and grandad Hatch's, then went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Gardner. Then off Trick-or-Treating we went! Both girls loved it. At almost every single house, Kaleigh would run up and knock on the door with her cousins. The people would answer the door and Kal would immediately say "My name is KALEIGH HATCH!". Emma on the other hand, would just grab for their bowl of candy and start taking! She would not let us hold her basket either. This girl means business and does not mess around!
(We were all cracking up watching Em walk around all night. Her little bootie was not so little in her kitty-cat costume, and she could not stop jumping and running! So funny!)

Kaleigh's latest new talents!

2011-10-13T22:41:00.002-06:00

Helping Mom babysit cousin Mattix!

Dress up Queen!

Gymnastics! (Loves, Loves, Loves it!)

Teaching Emma gymnastics too!

Life Now!

2011-09-12T22:25:00.004-06:00

Got all moved into our new apartment in N.Orem and are loving it!

Happy Birthday to Trevan! (On July 30th). We didn't get to do much of anything on his birthday, so we had a little celebration with family when we got home! Better late than never right? Wish I could have made the Big 30th a little more fun for him!

Playing in water all the time. We can start feeling the coolness in the mornings and evenings a little bit, so we are enjoying the good weather as much as possible while its here!

Spending our days with Emma and her two HUGE obsessions. SHOES and UNDERWEAR! Crazy girl is so sensitive about these two items. She has to choose which shoes to wear and has the hugest fits if we try to change them. If she gets a chance to get hold of any of Kals underpants, she has to put them on over her clothes and we are NOT allowed to touch them. I should record some of her tantrums and post them. Its really funny! She is one funny girl!

Missing Mississippi???

2011-09-12T21:58:00.004-06:00

First of all..... YAY! We are finally home!!!
Second.... NO, we do not miss Mississippi at all!
We got spoiled on our flight home as well! We got to fly right into the little Provo airport! So exciting! I called my Mom when we landed and they were there waiting for us by the time we got off the airplane!
So, No, we will not miss the State of Mississippi. I guess looking back at some pictures, there are a few things we will miss though!

Cousin Peyton! We will miss not hanging out with her Every Single Day! She is so cute and the girls became such good friends!

One of the two things we did all the time for entertainment..... Chuck E Cheese!

Sunday night hangouts with Daddy! It became tradition to cover the pool with blankets and have a "Popcorn Party" while watching Tangled! Sunday was our only night with Trev home, so we always made it fun for the girls!

Our second place of entertainment! The Blow-up slides! This was really fun! Both girls loved it, had no Fear and endless energy! We will really miss going with Savannah, Evie and Peyton to play on the slides.

Game Nights with the fam! Soooo fun living in the same complex as family! It made me miss Baltimore a lot having so many get-to-gethers with close friends/family!
Good Times!

Enough Said...

2011-07-18T21:47:00.005-06:00

My families view right now....

My view right now...

The only thing in common is we both see a lot of water.
So Sad:(

4th of July!

2011-07-18T21:40:00.002-06:00

I bet you have never spent your 4th of July celebrating at Chuck E Cheese! I guess there is a first time for everything right?
We are just wanting to know if they even celebrate FREEDOM in Mississippi! We could not find much of anything to do, and after the long rainy day, and driving around looking for anything to do, yes, we ended up at Chuck E Cheese.
Guess it doesn't matter much because the girls LOVED it and enjoyed the celebrating!

The happenings of lately...

2011-07-18T21:25:00.004-06:00

Stacking baby food on each other until they fall and smash our toes, we cry and then do it all over again and again and again!

Making fruit loop necklaces for us and Daddy! (She begged him to wear it to church. He should have!)

Is it a hobby or being totally bored? Kaleigh moves her toys from one corner to the next and stacks them all together as tight as possible.

Trying to succeed in making some good chocolate chip cookies. I have failed two times in a row now. I am going to blame it on the altitude difference. Good excuse, or do I just give up and accept the fact that I don't make good cookies?

Playing with the Uncles!!!

Can't figure out day after day why she doesn't fit in the car.

Playing with Coal! Matt and Elise's cute little kitty cat!!!

Poor Emma. She got attacked all over by ants at the volleyball court. This picture is nothing compared to what it really looks like either.

Happy Father's Day!!!

2011-06-21T21:03:00.003-06:00

These girls LOVE their Daddy sooooo much!
It's always a good time when he is around!

Memphis Zoo!

2011-06-21T20:41:00.003-06:00

We got to go to the Memphis, TN zoo last week with my siblings and a few friends! It was soooo nice to do something fun after some hard weeks of hard work and no fun! I love how the zoo is fun for all ages too! Everyone had a good time seeing the animals and we even survived the insanely hot heat and humidity!

The Big 1!!!

2011-05-30T20:55:00.006-06:00

Happy First Birthday Emma!!!!!!
I can not believe that a year ago, I was in Baltimore having our second baby! Time flies by fast when your having fun right! And children grow up so quickly!
We have absolutely loved having Emma in our family this last year! She is so fun and has a great personality! We are so blessed to have her and can not get enough of her!
We had a great day! First of all, it was great to have her birthday on a Sunday because that is the only day that Trevan is around! We went to church, came home and cooked to prepare for our bbq party with many of my siblings and some friends! Emma loved digging into her cupcake and gobbled it right up! (She now walks into the kitchen and points to the leftover cupcakes and says "more", while pointing to them.)
It was a very fun day for Emma and for us!
Love, Love, Love this girl!

MiSsIsSiPpI!!!!

2011-05-23T21:19:00.004-06:00

We are living in Mississippi for the summer working for Vivint! It is really fun to get out of Utah for a little while and see new places! I had no idea of what to expect there. So far though, it is hot and humid, but beautiful and green as well. The people are extremely kind everywhere you go as well!

The girls (and I) were SOOOOOO happy to see Daddy again after almost 3 weeks apart from him!

Hanging out with cousin, Peyton! She is so dang cute!

Found a great park to go to! (Just wish it were not so humid now). Have you ever seen such an awesome swing like the one Trev is in? It is actually a very comfortable chair! We need these in the parks in Utah!

Trev wrecked our car going 80 mph and almost hitting an animal taking him on a long ride going sideways on some grass (275 feet) in a rain storm. We are still waiting for it to get fixed! Enjoying a nice new rental until then!

Emma got her first face injury from falling down. Looks much better in this picture taken 3 days later.

Swimming on the deck! Our favorite thing to do so far!

Matt and Elise = Husband and Wife!!!!

2011-05-23T21:01:00.004-06:00

These two handsome boys are still available! Any takers?

Hanging out with Uncle Matt before he gets married!

Easter and a little more!

2011-05-18T20:26:00.003-06:00

We had a great Easter this year! We got to enjoy spending time with family having a night of swimming and egg hunting!
I also added these pics of Emma when she got tubes put in her ears! I thought it was so adorable watching her tiny little body walking all over the place in a hospital gown!
And last, a picture of us when we went bowling before Trevan took off for Mississippi to work for the summer! (We get asked to go bowling EVERY SINGLE DAY now!)

Randomness!

2011-04-19T21:07:00.002-06:00

Such a cute little girl!

Ice Skating with Aunt Sharlie!!! (Right after watching her awesome BYU class performance!)

Do all little children love getting dirty as much as this one? (Everyday!)

We can no longer go see Grandparents without riding the bike!

She said "Yes!"

2011-03-15T21:32:00.003-06:00

A NEW SISTER-IN-LAW! We got to spend a day helping my brother, Matt, propose to Elise! We decorated the very top tower at Seven Peaks with lights, balloons and a romantic dinner! It was really fun and everything went perfect for them! (The only downfall was trying to stop Kaleigh from trying to go down all the slides! It was heart-breaking for her.)
We are so excited for Matt and Elise!

Please hurry summer!!!

2011-03-03T22:40:00.003-07:00

We are just soooooo ready for the summer! We have had some really nice days lately and it has felt grate to get outside and enjoy the sunshine! It has been fun to go out and ride on the little cars, play on the ice covering Utah Lake and even go swimming! (Inside of course, but cant wait until it is outside too!)

I have a THREE year old!
Wow, how times flies when your having fun right?
Kal had a great birthday this year! We had a little party (a mickey mouse clubhouse party!) and had family over, sang the birthday song (the long Hatch/Kimball version) and opened gifts! Kaleigh was sooooooo excited about turning three and having a party for herself!
Love this girl too much!

New Years!

2011-01-13T21:08:00.007-07:00

Our family has a tradition of doing our stockings on New Years rather than on Christmas! All growing up our extended family would get together at my grandparents and party all night long, eventually fall asleep and then wake up to stockings full of goodies to eat and a whole day to play with cousins! I got the girls new stockings this year that they loved looking through New Years Morning!

We spent New Years with Trevs family this year! We had fun eating and hanging out in the evening. We then went home to sleep, woke up to do stockings and then took off to meet my family at our cabin in the most beautiful city of Midway!

We had a great time at our cabin! I was especially excited this year because we had some of our cousins, the Hunters, come up with us! It was so fun to spend time with them doing crafts and eating pine nuts! (Have you ever tried chest nuts? Well, my cousin Jen brought some up for us to try and by the time I got to it there was just one left and it turned out to be bad. However, I hear they are really good and plan to try them soon!)
My really cool Mom spent time planning some fun things for us to do! She cut out these boots, and we each got to decorate one! It was so fun! I find it totally unfair that my Mom is so amazing at arts and crafts, and I got NONE of her skills. Maybe I will gain some through more practice!

Christmas!

2011-01-13T20:57:00.002-07:00

As usual, we had a great Christmas this year! It was fun to spend time with both of our families, and especially fun to watch Kaleigh open her presents while Emma played in her wrapping paper!

Christmas beginings!

2010-12-07T22:33:00.002-07:00

Helping Grandma make the frosting!

Emmy's face was like this all evening long! So funny!

Loving Grandad!

Final product!!!

Merry Christmas!!! We have started off our Christmas celebrations with making our traditional gingerbread houses! This has become one of our favorite traditions! It was extra fun for us because we have missed out on it the last two years and finally got to be here this time!

Random pics!

2010-12-07T22:10:00.003-07:00

Loves cooking for Mickey and Minnie and Baby!

Enjoying the first Snowfall!

Helping PaPa blow all the leaves in a pile!

It's been a while since I posted. Just thought I would post a few random pictures! We have been enjoying all of our different kind of weather lately! Tying to get out a lot before it is way too cold and miserable going outside.

Halloween!

2010-11-02T21:56:00.004-06:00

A Butterfly and a Frog!

We had two cute little bugs for Halloween! I do have to say... (at least for me!) It is much more fun to go trick-or-treating with my children than it was going as a child myself! I loved watching Kaleigh having so much fun going to a ward party and then going door to door to get candy! She loved it, and has asked to go everyday since!

CARVING PUMPKINS!

Carving pumpkins with Kaleigh was really fun this year! Every time we go home she wants us to all look at her pumpkin on the front porch! Very proud of her project! She had a lot of fun carving with Daddy and then cooking the seeds and eating them with Grandma Necie!!!

GARDNER VILLAGE!

Witch doing the Cannon Ball!
Emma hanging out with Uncle Matt and Elise!

My family took a little ride up to Gardner Village to see all the cute little shops and go on the witch hunt!It was so much fun! I do have to say that out of all the witch's there, our little Kaleigh was BY FAR the cutest one there!!! (Along with her cute cousin Jaydenn!)
I have always heard about Gardner Village, but never been there until now! I guess it is about time considering I am a Gardner myself!

Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

2010-09-24T21:55:00.004-06:00

We have been having a lot of fun lately trying to enjoy the nice weather while it lasts!
First of all, we went to the State Fair! It was a lot of fun! Made me really excited to someday take our kids to Disneyland!
We saw and petted goats, cows, pigs, bunnies, birds and sheep! We rode on a train, saw a gator, went on a HUGE slide (Kaleigh screamed and cried the first time with cousin Jaydenn, however strangely enough begged to go again with MOMMY this time and HOLD MOMMY'S HAND, and screamed and cried the whole time again!) However, she did love the helicopter ride at the end!

Went to the cabin for the weekend! Enjoyed the great weather swimming on the deck, going on walks, and feeding the ducks! LOVE this time of the year!

Trev and I had to take a pictures by this tree because it is the same picture we used for our wedding announcement pictures! Too bad we look so much older in this one!

Brave little Kaleigh let the ducks eat right out of her hand! I on the other hand tried to do it too, but kept getting too nervous and never did do it! Kids are so brave!

Had a great time camping one last time this summer with the Hatch family! It is so nice to get away and enjoy some time at Camper World!

Kaleigh is always wanting me to take pictures of her and Emma! Here is one of the better ones! They are growing up way too fast for us! We have so much fun with them!

Emma's Blessing Day!

2010-09-24T21:44:00.002-06:00

It took a little longer than planned, however we finally had Emma blessed a few weeks ago! Trevan gave her a very beautiful blessing! It turned out to be a great day! (Even though Trevan and I had to speak in church as well!)

Camping!

2010-08-18T14:26:00.004-06:00

The life jacket has become one of Kals favorite pieces of clothing! She wants to wear it all the time!

Grandma Niece comforting Emma after Trevan dunked her in the water. She hated it, but after a minute of calming down she actually enjoyed the water!

The babysitters while we went on a canoe ride!

Kaleigh and Ellie!

Little Emma!

2010-08-18T14:12:00.003-06:00

A little about Emma!
I keep getting told to post pictures of Emma up so family and friends not living here can see her! She has grown so much! She now weighs 11 1/2 lbs and is one long girl! (Getting chunky too!) She is so cute and fun! Trevan got her to laugh for the first time yesterday and we could sit and watch it hour after hour! It is so fun!
Crystal gave her a first hair cut last weekend. You probably think I am crazy because she is fairly bald, however, she has tons in the back and I don't want it to grow in like a mullet!
Kaleigh LOVES Emma and is pretty good with her.
Anyway... here are some recent pics of her! I will try to be better about taking more and posting them!

4th!

2010-08-18T13:53:00.002-06:00

Better LATE than NEVER! Right?
I am just now finding time to blog more often! I am not up-to-date yet, but am working on it!
We had a very fun 4th of July! Started off going to the parade! Kaleigh LOVED it. (So did Trev, well at least he loved throwing all the poppers we bought!) We had a BBQ and then walked over to the Stadium of Fire! It was a great show this year! Kaleigh cried through the fire works and has been scared of them since, and Emma slept through them! Very fun though!
On Monday, we continued celebrating by going up the canyon to Dear Creek and swimming in the lake! Had a fun time later that evening having another BBQ and more fire works!

Upside Down!

2010-07-29T22:22:00.004-06:00

Wow! Our lives have been turned upside down the last few months! We have added little Emma to our family, and moved from Baltimore back home to Utah.
Big Changes!

Emma has been so much fun having around and I will post some pictures of her as soon as I get a minute to upload them onto our computer. (Trev has the computer at school with him almost all day everyday.)
Here are some of the things we will miss the most...

Trevan teaching Seminary! (The only pic I have, but there is usually a few more students!)

Playgroups! We had so much fun going to playgroup every week! We really do miss this so much! Kaleigh misses all of her friends and still talks about them all the time.

Kaleigh's little sidekick in Baltimore! Kaleigh and Carson were connected at the hip. They wanted to play with each other all day everyday, and they were so funny together!
She misses and talks about all of her other little buddies as well!

The ward get-togethers! We miss all of the fun times getting together with good friends in the ward! We miss BBQ's, game nights and many more memories we have with our ward friends! The best of times!

Mondays- Make Bread with Julianna Days! Julianna and I started making bread together a few months after I moved to Baltimore and didn't stop until just days before I moved away! This was one of my hightlights every week! Our kids always had so much fun together while we cooked away in the kitchen!

And of course.... Trev, Kaleigh and I will miss our little kitchen table!!! (Two TV tables stuck together!)

Girl-Night-Outs! Some of the very best times in Baltimore! Loved having a little break from the kids and everyday duties to go out and have fun with the girls who have become some of my very best friends!

There are so many more memories that I do not have photos of (Quiet Books, BYU games, game nights, craft nights, Holidays...)Moving away has been very hard for us (at least for me!) We met some amazing people in Baltimore and hope to keep them as good friends! What a fun experience we had in our life that we will never forget!

The Graduate!

2010-07-29T21:43:00.005-06:00

Congrats to Trevan on graduating with his Masters Degree!
What a man! He did it! Not only did he graduate, he did it with a 3.9 GPA and got all A's with only 1 B+!

We were so lucky to have Trevs parents come out for the graduation! We had a lot of fun having them come visit us in Baltimore and celebrating such a great event!

introducing.... Emma Shereen Hatch!

2010-06-02T20:54:00.004-06:00

We had little Emma on Saturday afternoon! Everything went well. I got induced at about 9 in the morning and she was born at 5 in the afternoon! She is a great baby and we have had so much fun with her! Even Kaleigh likes her!
She weighed 7 lbs 15 oz and was 20.5 inches long!
My good friend Katie, came to visit me in the hospital and take some fun pictures as well! I will post more soon!

What a trooper!

2010-05-12T20:09:00.003-06:00

Kaleigh got a minor surgery this morning! She got tubes put in her ears. Although this surgery was not a big one or anything too scary... it is so hard to watch your child in this kind of a situation! Being put under against their will, and then waking up to cords attached all over their bodies and surrounded by strangers. She was not a happy girl, however... inbetween her crying and sobbing, she still said hi to everyone that said hi to her, and say "Bye Bye Guys" all on her own when we left.

She is taking over!

2010-04-12T19:45:00.004-06:00

Check out the new cook in our house!
(I wish!)
Don't you wish that cooking was as fun for us Mother's? Wouldn't it be great to put on the apron, hat and a nice big smile like Kaleigh and we could all enjoy cooking a little bit more?
The best part would be... when you get sick of playing "the cook," you could stop!

Easter!

2010-04-12T19:30:00.002-06:00

We had a GREAT Easter this year! It was so nice to wake up, make a good breakfast, have fun dying eggs with Kaleigh and then going on an Easter egg hunt! Kaleigh absolutely loved it! When we were done, she would go around the house finding ANYTHING that was out and would get so excited to put it in her basket! (One of the first times our house was actually clean because of Kaleigh instead of me!)
The best part was spending the whole day all together! Trev didn't have any church callings to do, and we got to watch conference together! Then we went out on a walk in the nice warm weather! Wish everyday could be this way!

2010-03-31T19:57:00.004-06:00

5 Whole Years!

Trev and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary a few weeks ago! (March 18th)
Time goes by way too quickly!

We went to dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory! It was a lot of fun! While we were driving to the restaurant, Trev said..."Meg... five years ago today, would you have ever imagined we would be stuck in traffic in Baltimore while going to dinner to celebrate our 5 year anniversary?"
Funny the different directions your life can take you!
We then continued to name the highlights in our marriage so far! It was a really fun night thinking back to all of the good times we have had together, and the good times that are ahead of us as well!

Maternity Pictures!

2010-03-15T12:13:00.003-06:00

My good friend Summer, took some maternity pictures of me! She did a great job and I thought I would post some just for fun!

Chocolate World!!!

2010-03-15T12:02:00.004-06:00

We went to Hershey Pennsylvania last week for play group! There was a little ride that we got to go on (Over and Over and Over!) It was a ride that shows how they make their chocolate! They have singing cows that sing "Hershey's chocolate!" over and over. Kaleigh absolutely loved it! I have been hearing about the singing and dancing cows ever since. Kal also tells me that "she likes chocolate," a couple times a day!

POP goes my belly!

2010-02-23T12:44:00.003-07:00

Only three more months to go!!!

Freedom!

2010-02-23T12:29:00.003-07:00

So glad that there is more to life than potty training and having picnics with Mickey, Minnie, Mr. Bear, Aligator, Baby, Elmo and Dogs! We have been trapped in our home with all this snow! Luckily, we are free again and it has been great!
I guess being stuck in doors was good for two things though... She is doing AWESOME with the potty training and knows all of her different foods!

We finally got the chance to use our new sled that my parents got Trev for Christmas a few years ago! We took Kaleigh to a school nearby and thought she would love the sled! Boy were we wrong. She hated it! I think it was a little too fast and bumpy for her. She does love walking in and eating the snow though!

A Lot of White Stuff!

2010-02-07T12:57:00.004-07:00

Here is our car after the 2 foot snowfall!

Decided to go out and have some fun last night! Kaleigh loved riding on the sled!

What a man! Since we don't have a snow shovel, Trev used our dust pan to make a trail for us to get outside of our apartment!

The big 2!

2010-02-07T12:41:00.007-07:00

Look what Kal got for her Birthday!!!
Potty Training! I am a little nervous about this! Any advice would be great! I have heard so many different ways to try it, and also heard that if it goes bad at first it could become a much more difficult thing!

We took Kal to a blow up toy place to celebrate her 2nd Birthday! She LOVED LOVED LOVED it! She asks almost every day if we can go jump and slide! She is one brave little girl too. She never cared for us to be with her. She enjoyed it if we were, but would have gone either way!
I also had to experience my first time of having to pay for her for something. Ouch!

Vacation Fun!

2010-01-26T11:41:00.005-07:00

Although we spent most of our Christmas vacation taking turns being sick, we had a lot of fun times too!

Hanging out with SUPERBRAD! (Uncle Brad) Kal always starts out being a little nervous around this guy (kinda intimidating looking for a kid probably!), but ends up loving him!

Going to the cabin and making a snowman with Daddy! Then we have to sing ONCE THERE WAS A SNOWMAN a million times after!

Trev hot tubing with the brother-in-laws! Always fun to be so warm in the hot tub when it is FREEZING cold outside!

Playing with Grandma Niece and Grandad!

We went and saw some really cool ice castle's and sculptures at our cabin in Midway!

Every year my brothers and good friends get a city team together! Trev had fun playing on it again!

Cousin Ellie who is only a few weeks younger than Kal. They have so much fun together!

Shoveling snow at the cabin with Grandma!

Shoveling snow with Daddy!

Kaleigh loves loves loves her new cousin Peyton! This gives me hope that she will like her new baby sister too!

Sitting the bench with Daddy and Uncle Trevy! (Trevon)

Our Christmas and New Years!

2010-01-25T11:47:00.003-07:00

Our Christmas Day! Spending time with both of our families was so much fun!

My mom made us this awesome marble game, and we have become obsessed with it! Trev's family really got hooked on it too.
We had fun at my grandparents on New Years Eve! It was fun to see my child being the one playing the games and hitting the pinata. Brought back a lot of memories for me of when I was the one doing it all those years growing up!

Another Girl!

2010-01-15T18:39:00.002-07:00

It's another girl and we are sooooo excited!
We couldn't wait to come back home to Baltimore to find out what we are having! We wanted to be home with our families and be able to tell them in person. So...we went and got an ultrasound done and the outcome is more pink! I am totally surprised, but excited. I thought it would be a boy with how different my pregnancy has been compared to Kaleigh's. Good thing you never get sick of dressing up your little girls uh? So fun!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!

2009-12-13T19:27:00.003-07:00

I was on the phone with my mom the other day telling her I was jelous it was snowing in Utah and that I wanted some snow out here in Baltimore! Well, I got my wish! It Snowed! Kaleigh and I immediately ran outside to play. She loved it, and after about a half an hour in the freezing cold when our hands were bright red and numb and our shoes and socks soaking wet, I had to carry her inside kicking and screaming the whole way! Why do children not notice the weather?
(Anyway, the next morning when we had to go outside and scrape our windows in the icy cold weather, I changed my mind about wanting snow!)

Kal's favorite things...

2009-12-05T13:33:00.003-07:00

Helping daddy and mommy workout! If we are working out on the floor, she has to lay down as well. If we are standing up doing different exercises, she is up jumping all over the place laughing her head off!
Mickey and Minnie! We can't do anything without these two. I am starting to feel like I have three children because we have to change their diapers (and use wipes), feed them, put them to sleep and what ever else Kal comes up with.

Kal's new obsession in life is the movie Lion King! (Daddy's favorite too!) She now goes around the house finding her little friends and sets them up along the couch then asks me to start her movie!

My good friend Summer gave us their kitchen! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I have so much more freedom now! The only problem is... she is starting to get food out of the real kitchen to bring into her pretend one! She loves when her friends (or seminary students) play with her!

Science Center!

2009-12-05T13:28:00.003-07:00

We went to the Science Center for Playgroup! It was a lot of fun! There are a lot of fun places I still need to see at the Inner Harbor!

Baby!

2009-11-18T11:23:00.002-07:00

I was so relieved to have our first ultrasound and see our little baby in there! I keep forgetting I am pregnant. With Kaleigh, I had a constant reminder because I was so sick. I have had absolutely no sickness with this one! This makes me think it is a boy!

Kaleigh Girl!

2009-11-10T11:12:00.002-07:00

My good friend Katie, took some fun pictures of Kaleigh in the beautiful fall leaves!
They turned out cute! (especially the tongue one!)
Thanks Katie!

Happy Halloween!

2009-11-05T12:23:00.003-07:00

We had a great Halloween! (Probably my last one of not having to go trick-or-treating). We had a little dress up party for play group, but Kaleigh was not about to let me put her pirate costume on her. Every time she see's it, she runs and if I get it close to her she freaks out. Hopefully we have better luck with the costume thing next year!

Quick trip home...

2009-11-02T18:21:00.002-07:00

I just returned from a quick trip to Utah where I attended the funeral services of my cousin Stephanie Johnson. (Center) She passed away in an automobile accident in Logan, Utah. She was a sweet person and will be missed by many. These are the times that we are so thankful for our knowledge of the gospel and knowing that we can all be together again someday.

Coloring on Grandparents front porch with cousins and uncles!

Watching BYU get creamed by TCU. (Ouch!)

2009-10-09T19:30:00.003-06:00

We are going to have another baby!!!
We are so, so, so excited too! (Not sure how excited Kaleigh is going to be, but we sure are!) I am only about two months along, so have a long 7 months ahead of me! Luckily I have not been sick yet. I was super super sick with Kaleigh, but I have heard that each pregnancy gets better and easier. Is this true? I think maybe instead of my body being affected by pregnancy it is my brain. So far I have.... tried to put the milk away in the microwave instead of the fridge, dumped the left-overs in the lid of the tubaware rather than the container part, and worst of all... the other day I waited for Kaleigh to go down for her nap leaving her home with Trevan studying and I drove to Wal-Mart to get all my groceries and a few other things. I got there and quicky got everything I needed. I got up in line to check out. When I went to pull my wallet out I realized I had forgotten to get it out of the diaper bag at home. HATE when this happens. Well, I disappointedly left to head for home. On my way home I passed the market and decided to go get some blueberries. Well, luckily they were closed and I didn't have to go inside to embarrass myself again. (Still not having my wallet.) So, I head for home again and notice the Rite-Aid. I so smartly thought I would stop there and get some diapers for Kaleigh so I wouldn't have to go all the way back to Wal-Mart that same day. I pick out the diapers I want, get up to the register only to realize I STILL didn't have my wallet. Who does this? Is it true that your brain goes crazy while your pregnant?
Hopefully I survive this next 7 months and still have any brain at all!

Children can be so funny!

2009-10-01T12:05:00.005-06:00

What do you think? Do children like olives because they taste good, or because they are so much fun? Kaleigh would eat olives all day long if I would let her!

Rocks and Dirt! Why is it more fun to play in the rocks and dirt than it is to play with a goat? I thought Kaleigh would love playing with the goats at the zoo, but she could care less about them. The only time she showed any interest was when she tried to bathe them in the dirt! I guess it is true when you hear that your children will like the things you would never think of them liking!

The Zoo!

2009-09-16T11:30:00.002-06:00

Last week, my good friend Katie asked us if we wanted to go the zoo with her and her son Carson! We had so much fun seeing all the animals. We talk about the animals all the time now, especially the Zebra's (Zareebra's!) Kaleigh and Carson also got to ride on the carousel before we left. They both loved it! Can't wait until next time!

The two Philly's!

2009-09-10T19:29:00.002-06:00

Trevan went to Canada a few weeks ago and he dropped Kaleigh and I off in Philadelphia to spend a few days with Derrick and Ashley before they moved back to Utah! We had tons of fun swimming, going out to eat, movies and ice cream, talking and shopping on Market Street which brings us to our 2nd Philly........
Our First Family Pet!

Derrick bought a turtle on Market St. for Kaleigh! We named him Philly! Kal loves her little turtle and has had a lot of fun with him!

Trev's First Book Signing!

2009-08-19T12:46:00.003-06:00

Trevan had his first book signing in Utah! (He had his second one a few weeks later!) We went to visit him and look who else showed up! That's right... Elmo! Kaleigh was in heaven. We ask her what the elmo song is and she starts singing "La La La La". Anyway, she gave him hugs and kisses and would not let him out of her sight the whole time.

For those of you who have not yet gotten Trev's book... I highly recommend you do! It is really an excellent book and will keep your attention. You will learn so much from it! It is available at Seagull Book, Deseret Book, Amazon and Granite Publishing! You will not be sorry if you get it!

4th of July!

2009-08-05T13:55:00.002-06:00

We had a great 4th of July! We started out by having a breakfast at the parade with the Hatch family! We then went and had a bbq along with swimming which is always fun! Later in the evening we lit some of our own fireworks at our yearly Cold-e-Sac of Fire party! It was a lot of fun!

Summer at home!

2009-08-05T13:26:00.005-06:00

We have been lucky to spend the summer at home in Utah! Trevan got accepted to do some research for BYU with some of the top scholors and present it at a symposium! He was very busy, but it paid off when he presented his research and did an awsome job!

Family Pictures!

2009-06-07T22:50:00.010-06:00

Hot-Dog Hot-Dog Hot-Diggity-Dog!

2009-04-27T12:45:00.003-06:00

Are anybody else's children obsessed with Micky Mouse and the song Hot-Dog? Everytime Kaleigh hears the song, she immediatly drops whatever it is she is doing, runs in and starts dancing her little heart away! It is so funny to watch. I get worried she is going to hypervenilate! (Sometimes she is a little more wild than this, but this is the best we have gotten on camera so far!)

Loads of Fun! (Week 4)

2009-04-23T13:11:00.002-06:00

We got to go golfing with Derrick and Ashley! We are starting Kaleigh early in hopes that she will love to golf as much as we do! We might be in luck since she loves playing with the golf clubs and balls and riding in the cart!

Loads of Fun! (Week 3)

2009-04-23T12:48:00.003-06:00

D.C

National Aquarium! Smithsonians!

We had so much fun with my parents! We went to Washington D.C a few times and saw many of the amazing Smithsonian Museums! (The Natural History Museum was my favorite by far!) We also went to Philly, Fort McHenry, the National Aquarium and many more things!

Loads of Fun! (Week 2)

2009-04-23T12:24:00.003-06:00

Congratulations Derrick and Ashley!

These three are available!

I flew home to Utah to see my brother Derrick, get married to Ashley! We are so excited to have another sister-in-law in the family! We spent most of the vacation being sick, but the days we felt good were super fun! It was fun to see all of our good friends and family at the wedding.

Loads of Fun! (Week 1)

2009-04-23T11:03:00.006-06:00

Statue of Liberty!

Some of Kal's friends!

Trev's sister Brittney and her husband Justin, Grandmom and Grandad, Dad, me, Trev and Kal!

Liberty Bell!

Some of Trevan's family came out to visit us and to watch his sister Sharlie, sing with her high school choir at Carnegie Hall. (spelling?) We got to go to Gettysberg with them, to Philly to see many of Grandmom and Grandads mission friends and to N.Y.C! It was so much fun!

2009-03-25T08:14:00.002-06:00

My good friend, Katie, took some fun pictures of Kaleigh for me. Didn't she do a great job! The two times that Kaleigh has had photo shoots, she has been horrible. However, we were lucky enough to get a few cute ones!

Vacation to Canada!

2009-03-21T18:38:00.002-06:00

Niagra Falls!

Sacred Grove!

Hill Cumorah!

We just got back from a little vacation to Canada! We drove to Hamilton Ontario Canada because Trevan had some interviews at Mcmaster University to see if he would be interested in going there for his Phd in a year. We had a great time stopping all along the way at the church history sites and Niagra Falls. Too bad it is not the most beautiful and warm time of the year, however we still had a great time! Here are a few pictures.

It's that time of year again!

2009-03-12T11:38:00.003-06:00

I am absolutely obsessed with Cadbury Mini Eggs! Once I start eating them, I simply can not stop. The only reason I stop is because the stores run out and no longer sale them. Well, it seems that Kaleigh is the same way. She loves them too. She knows where I put them and is always trying to get to them. Like mother, like daughter uh? If you have never tried them before, I highly recommend them! Just remember that once you start... you can't stop!

Help me out Cookers!

2009-02-21T12:02:00.003-07:00

My sweet husband was one HUGE sweetheart on Valentines Day! He surprised me with a VERY-LONG-TIME wanted KitchenAid! We didn't get anything for Christmas, and he decided to take a little of our tax returns and purchase this for me! However... I have a good friend that has had some problems with her KitchenAid, which brought me to the computer to research about them. It seems that many people have problems with theirs going out on them, but of course there were more people saying good stuff rather than bad about them. Luckily, KitchenAid is good about exchanging them. It is nice that they will exchange for me, but do I even want to go there? So... I started reading about the Bosch Mixer. It seems to be good as well. I just don't know enough about either of them and need some help deciding! Any suggestions?

Happy Birthday Kaleigh Girl!

2009-02-12T12:15:00.004-07:00

So.... Good thing that I have a few more years of practice on making cute B-Day cakes before she cares too much. I think I tried to cook it, cool it down and transfer onto a plate before the cake was ready. I ended up destroying it. Luckily the frosting helped it look a little better!

Kaleigh is a good sport! She walked right to her cake on the ground and dug right in! I am afraid she ate too much of it though, because she threw-up after! O-Well, it was worth the fun she had playing in it!

Nice and Clean again!

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY KALEIGH!
I can not believe that our little girl is already a year old. Time goes by way too fast! Some of the highlights of Kaleigh when looking back on her first year are...
1- Her little tongue. It is rarely inside her mouth, but rather, always moving around outside her mouth!
2- Crawling. She is the most dramatic little crawler! She puts her head down, swings her arms really high and slams them to the ground each time and charges to her destination! So funny!
3-Her smile. Kaleigh has the biggest smile! It takes up her whole face. We love it so much and are so glad it happens often! My family started saying "SUPER HAPPY" to her and she would smile huge and bend her head over. So funny!
4- Walking! This was probably one of the funnest things to see! Kaleigh started taking steps about a month ago, and is now unstoppable. Don't you think babies are so cute right when they start walking? The legs go side to side rather than in front of them! Trev loves chasing her and making her try to go faster than her legs can take her! She loves it too.
5- Of course.... TALKING! Kaleigh is starting to talk so much! Her favorite words are Cheerio, Hi (to everyone!), nigh-night, bathy, dog, I-love-you, and calling her mom "meg" rather than mom. She is even starting to say the animal sounds! We are having so much fun teaching her, and it is so rewarding when they start understanding!
The only thing that has not been fun is... trying to get her to take a sippy cup rather than a bottle! Any suggestions?

Utah Fun!

2009-02-10T13:04:00.003-07:00

We love Utah! We had so much fun in Utah over the Holidays! When we got there we had a huge list of things we wanted to do and people we wanted to hang out with. We thought a month was plenty of time, but it seemed like we were busy the whole time and were trying to juggle our schedules to be able to do everything!
Some of the highlights were... family parties, BYU games, snowmobiling, (watching my niece Torrie, roll her dads machine down a HUGE mountain and then trying to figure out how to tell him about it) Kaleigh and her best friend Jake (the dog), Kaleigh's first steps, Kaleigh's being sick probably half the trip (got sick again the night before we were suppose to fly home, so I had to cancel my flight and wait a few more days)
and hanging out with all our friends!

Merry Christmas!

2009-02-10T12:16:00.002-07:00

I know, I know, I know... I am super late for our Christmas pictures.
But... Better Late Than Never! Right?
We had a lot of fun in Utah spending our Holidays with our family and friends! It was fun having our first Christmas with Kaleigh. (Even though she didn't seem to care too much about any of the gifts!) We better enjoy the time we have of not having to buy her anything, because I am sure it will be a little different in the next year or two.
We went to see Santa in Baltimore at a mall and I was surprised that Kaleigh didn't seem to mind him at all. She just stared at him. (Probably didn't know what else to do). She must take after her father in bravery, because her mother was the BIGGEST cry baby when it came to Santa Clause. (I am embarrassed to admit that it was not just when I was young like her, but probably until I was about 10 years old. My family still talks about how everytime I would see him I would immediatly start to cry and seek for a good hiding place!) He just makes me nervous for some reason.

Yea! My husband's book is fnally out!!!

2009-01-31T19:32:00.004-07:00

Three years ago Trevan got an idea to write a book and said he wanted to finish it before graduate school. Let's just say that he is a man of his word! I am so proud of him! He has worked so hard on it, and after three years of about 20 hours a week it is ready for you to read. He is not going to brag to everyone about it, but I am because I am so excited for him! Granite Publishing did a great job with it (very nice cover and hardbound book) and has got it at Seagull Book and BYU bookstore. So everyone, GO BUY THE BOOK! You will love it as did Stephen M.R Covey and Dr. Donald Q. Cannon who blurbed the book.

Busy Baby!

2008-12-12T12:05:00.002-07:00

PROBLEM!

SOLUTION!

O-MY-GOSH! This child is into EVERYTHING! Every time I go into her room, the diapers are all over the floor, in the kitchen the cupboards are empty and everything that was in them is found all over the floor. She even empties the garbage's all around the house for us. She is just busy, busy, busy!

Put on your DUDES!

2008-12-12T11:52:00.008-07:00

When my niece, Jaydenn, was younger she called her sunglasses DUDES and it has stuck with us since then! Kaleigh loves to wear her DUDES and since I have no pictures of all three of us together I thought I would post this one just for fun! What do you think of Trev's sunglasses? (He had to barrow them from Mr. Potato Head!)

2008-12-04T18:39:00.003-07:00

So, if there is one thing that Kaleigh is serious about in life so far... it is her dancing! She is out of control when it comes to dancing and especially when it is Baby Mozart that she is listening to! We have to hold on to her very tight when we are in church and they start to sing a hymn. It is really fun to watch her grow and learn and develop her own little personality! We do have to admit that we are a little nervous for the future and both agree that we are going to have our hands full with this hyper child!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-30T16:22:00.002-07:00

What a fun Thanksgiving we had! I have to be honest when I say that I was not really looking forward to my first Thanksgiving away from home. I thought it would be okay, but that I would wish we were home the whole time. Well, it would have been fun to be home, but it was also really fun here. We started off the day playing football with some people in our ward. I don't know if our team won or not, but I am proud to say that I made a touchdown! I have never made one before, so that was exciting! It was really fun to watch all the couples trying to juggle our babies while playing football at the same time. We did a few trick plays with them by passing the baby and then catching the football to go in for a touchdown! All three of the babies are great football players!

We then went to the Owen's home along with a few other couples in the ward to eat a delicious Thanksgiving meal! While we ate and hung out for a while, Kaleigh was busy kissing Carson. I would say we are in trouble with this little girl, but it was Trevan that is teaching her this habit. So, which one of them is suppose to get in trouble?

We are very THANKFUL this Thanksgiving to have such an amazing ward out here in Baltimore. They have made us feel so welcome, and we have such a fun time with them anytime we can get together. It is so nice to have a family away from home! It is nice that they made it possible for us to end our Thanksgiving holiday with a sore body, and a full belly!

27 yrs old!

2008-11-30T16:07:00.004-07:00

27 Years Old! aahhhh! I am only 3 years away from my 30's. Now that is scary. I had a great Birthday! First of all, Trev let me sleep in. That in and of itself was good enough for me! Then when I woke up, I opened my bedroom door and heard Trev tell me to go back inside the room and shut the door! While I enjoyed just relaxing on the bed a little longer, Trevan came into the room with Kaleigh crawling behind him and he had made me BREAKFAST IN BED! It was my very first BREAKFAST IN BED! He then got the camera and filmed me while he sang the Hatch Family Birthday Song to me! Then I blew out my candle. (The sugar cookie candle that Trev grabbed out of the kitchen!)

We then got ready and went to church. After church, we came home ate and then opened some gifts that my mom had sent me! I got some new clothes, some delicious pine nuts, and my in-laws gave me money to go buy a new laminator machine from Target! Trevan got me some paper for the machine. So... now I have some fun projects to work on to keep myself busy! We then watched a movie before going to bed and officially becoming an old lady!

It really was a fun B-Day!

1st Halloween!

2008-11-04T10:48:00.000-07:00

Gardner cousins!

2008-11-04T10:42:00.001-07:00

It was so fun to go to Provo and meet Kaleigh's new little cousins. We rarely get to have all the cousins together at the same time!

Congrats to Ben and Camille!

2008-11-04T10:22:00.002-07:00

Congrats to Ben and Camille Hatch! It was fun to go to Provo a few weeks ago for our Brother Ben to get married to Camille Stout! We are so excited for them! Grandma Hatch made these cute little dresses for the girls to wear at the wedding.

Best time of the Year!

2008-11-04T10:15:00.002-07:00

This is my favorite time of the year! Not only because of the beautiful trees, the fun Holidays and lots of family events, but because of the PINE NUTS! There were no pine nuts on sale last year so I have gone two long years without them, and for those of you who know me well, you know that was torture for me. To my surprise, while driving down the street in Provo a few weeks ago, I saw the Large Jumbo Pine Nuts sign and stopped immediately! I have to limit myself to one little bag a week (usually during a BYU football game!), so that they will last me longer! Now I am a happy person for the year though!

Goodbye, Farewell!

2008-11-04T10:05:00.002-07:00

This post is mostly for my cousin Darise! We went shopping together in High School once and each got a pair of these pants! I don't know if she still has hers, but after 9+ yrs, many many patches, and one last huge rip in them, I decided I had no choice but to chuck them. I think this is the one piece of clothing that I have had the longest, but it is nice to say "I got my money's worth out of them!"

Fake Fake Fake!

2008-10-04T13:24:00.002-06:00

Getting so BIG so FAST!

2008-10-03T12:29:00.003-06:00

Trev and I agree with each other that Kaleigh has all the sudden gotten so BIG so FAST! She has started to climb up everything in sight, crawling faster and faster and non-stop talking. Everything she says is "Dotty, Dod, Dye", I have a feeling her first words are going to be "Daddy". Just thought I would post a few cute pictures of her that we have recently taken!

Rosh Hashana under the Stars!

2008-10-03T11:25:00.004-06:00

We decided to spend last Monday night with the Jewish people to celebrate Rosh Hashana! This is their celebration of the New Year. It is the 2nd Holiest day in the year. We went to Rosh Hashana Under the Stars and ate apples and honey with them to celebrate a sweet New Year!
Before we went though, my friend Julianna and I made some jewish bread and took it with us to eat with our families!
It was really fun, and interesting learning so many things about the Jewish culture our here!

What to do now?

2008-10-03T11:14:00.003-06:00

I am a little bummed right now about the seasons changing. It is starting to get cold here in the evenings, and I am not sure what Kaleigh and I are going to do without our evening walk. (One of the three we take everyday.) When she gets upset, and fussy... a walk does the trick for me ever time. I will have to think of something new, any ideas?

Finally!

2008-09-20T18:38:00.003-06:00

Kysen and Talon have finally come! My sister Aarin and brother-in-law Tyler have their hands full now! I think that they look just like their mommy and daddy! We welcome the first grandsons to the family! However, they are not the first by too much because my other sister Ryann also had a baby boy last night named Tracen! He is super cute too, and I will post some pictures of him as soon as I get some! Congrats to Ryann and the Maughans!

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!

2008-09-17T18:35:00.006-06:00

While living in Provo, Grandmom taught me how to make home made bread! I was so excited to make it all the time out here in Baltimore until I realized that I do not own a mixer, and am not about to try doing it by hand. Well, I met a girl in the ward who just got a new kitchen aid and we now make bread together every Monday morning!
If you have never made it before-TRY IT! You will never want to buy the store bread again! Plus, it makes your house smell so good while it is cooking in the oven!

Rub-a-dub-dub! Who's that in the tub?

2008-09-09T17:34:00.002-06:00

I don't know if it is inappropriate to put pictures of a naked baby on a blog, but I just think that this picture is so cute and wanted to share it! Bath time is her favorite time! Especially trying to grab the water when it is coming out. Always disappointed when she looks in her hands after trying to grab it and realizes that there is nothing in it!

Thank you Grandma Neve!

2008-09-09T17:28:00.004-06:00

Don't you think that Kaleigh looks so cute in the dress that Grandma Neve made her?

Crawling!

2008-09-09T14:42:00.005-06:00

We are officially Baltimorians!

2008-08-30T06:20:00.005-06:00

We are officially Baltimorians! (As sister Allison in the ward puts it!) We arrived here about two weeks ago and have had crazy lives since then! However, things are finally calming down. We finally have a kitchen with food in it so we can eat real meals, we have the internet so we can blog and communicate with the outside world, and best of all we have the T.V and can watch the first BYU football game tonight!
We are really doing great though! Trev is so excited to start his schooling and find a little part time job somewhere! I am excited to learn my way around Baltimore, find an online job (any ideas?) and hang out with the other women and children in the ward! The ward is honestly what is going to keep us going out here! (At least keep me going because it will help me have a social life!) They have been great to us and I know we are going to make some good friends.
It is a totally new and different life for us, but we are excited about it!

Scary, Crazy and Insane!

2008-08-30T06:15:00.002-06:00

I will never complain again about the traffic in Provo! This is what we get to look forward to around 4:00 in the afternoon! I will admit to being a little nervous driving alone around here!

Favorite toys!

Kaleigh has an entertainment chair, a bin full of toys and the only thing that seems to work lately is my kitchen utensils! The older she gets, the harder to entertain she gets as well!

The newest Victoria Secret model!

What do you guys think? If they had a baby Victoria Secret, would she be in it?

First Playgroup!

2008-08-30T05:58:00.004-06:00

Thank goodness for playgroups in the wards outside of Utah! The girls in our ward have been great about making me feel welcome! They wasted no time with getting hold of me and making sure I knew about the playgroups and went to the zoo with them my first week here! Too bad Kaleigh was more interested in eating her feet than watching the animals!

Our new home!

This is our new apartment! It is a two bedroom, two bathroom and I think we are going to like it a lot!

Fun before moving!

Just before we moved, we went to my cousins wedding in the Salt Lake City temple and took this cute picture of Kaleigh! We also had a bbq with the Hatch family and took a picture of Kaleigh with her best cousin Danielle!
