Catching Up: February & March

April 10, 2014

The last couple of months have been quite busy and overwhelming. Lots of changes in the Hess home. We are ALMOST done with our family/dining room construction (pics coming soon). Pregnancy has been easier in some ways and more difficult in other ways than when I was pregnant with Dean. I have made the decision to do a natural birth (wish me luck!)

Here are a bunch of pics of some of our family adventures the last couple of months.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Perry came home from their mission!

Valentines Day
 We gave Dean a monkey and he loved it!

As a family, we went to a dance hosted by Layton City. It was a lot of fun. They had a live band (who Dean LOVED!). He danced the whole night!



Joseph Smith Memorial Building
 We went for my long time awesome friend Liz Hale's wedding reception. First shot of the baby bump. 

Park Date

Baking with Dean

 Dean loves helping in the kitchen. He may make things more messy and take longer but, he is teaching me patience and I'm loving every minute of it. 

Park Time
 First time Dean went down the slide by himself he went face first and landed with a mouth full of wood chips before I could get to him. He was such a trooper and went right back up to do it again.


Another bump shot.
 I haven't taken week by week shots of the bump this time around. Sorry baby #2 :(




St. Patty's Day
 Green eggs w/ ham for breakfast

 Green mac & cheese for lunch. Dean didn't like the mac & cheese at all.
It was during this lunch time that my oven CAUGHT ON FIRE!!!
I had planned a  fun green dinner but we ended up eating out because my oven was out of commission.

Luckily all our appliances are under our home warranty so, the repairman came out and fiddled with the oven for awhile. Our oven had two cracked gas lines. It made sense because 2 of the burners never worked anyways. Well, we went oven shopping and found a good one at Home Depot. Well, after paying for it and waiting over the weekend for it to be delivered, we were called and told it was on back order--we'd have to wait another TWO WEEKS! We didn't have a functioning oven from March 17th-April 10th. I had to get real creative with meals. We had a lot of crocpot meals,  pancakes (using the griddle) and ate out way too much! 

 Before
 After

We got our new oven today and I couldn't be more happy! I immediately baked a couple dozen cupcakes and made double stuffed tacos for dinner :)
I am very grateful for a working oven.

Trouble with Crayons
 I had Dean try to help me clean off the artwork but a regular rag and soap didn't work...

 I was very surprised how quickly Dean moved from room to room coloring on my walls. It could have only been 30 seconds and he found 3 different parts of my walls to color in blue.

Random Dean
 Such a doll :)

 He gave himself that beard

 Say cheese!

 First time on his trampoline he got at Christmas. I think he likes it ;)
