update

Well I have been terrible at posting for the last few months. So this is my update. We are back in Utah after living in Canada for 4 months. Chase is now 5 months old. I can't believe that he is so old. He is still such a good baby. He still loves sleep, but doesn't sleep through the night. He loves to smile and he always laughs at his sister. He lets me snuggle him all the time and give him lots of kisses. He always smiles when I give him kisses. As for Morgan she is potty trained now. She never likes to wear pants. When she is in bed she always takes her pants off and says she is a "skinny girl". When we were in Canada I took her to a Mom and me dance class and she did so good. I was such a proud mom watching her dancing around. She loves to practice with me at home. But when asked if she wants to be a dancer or a kayaker the answer is always "a kayaker". She is such a daddy's girl. Morgan loves her brother but is always jealous when Pete holds him. The first thing in the morning she says when she wakes up is "where is Chase?". I can't wait until they are able old to play together. Two kids is a hand full but so much fun. 

Chase giving such a cute smile...

Morgan in the bucket. I thought this was so hilarious that she fit so good in this bucket. She is so small.
Dressed up in her princess dress from Grandma.
Another smile. What a happy boy.
Reading while going potty. She is so funny.

Practicing her ballet. This is what she wore to ballet. We need to get her some real clothes.
Showing off her new panties. If she could she would just wear panties all the time.
She was so tired. We had to get a picture of this because she hasn't slept in my arms for a long time. It was so nice for me to get some snuggles from my girl.

Chase 2 months old

He loves to sleep this boy... I wonder where he gets it from?????

Chase is on the end. Of course sleeping. He is with his two cousins Max and Anderson.







I love my two boys.

Morgan's 2nd B-day

Morgan riding her new bike. During the summer in Texas we went to walmart often and we would go to the bike section so Morgan could ride the bikes.  So she has wanted one for a long time. She very excited to get one of her own. She still hasn't learned to ride by herself yet, but she sits on it and we push her around.
Yes, another doll and it's a ballerina. She loves her dolls
These are a little out of order. She had cupcake all over her and so Peter had to vacuum her off. I thought it was hilarious.

There she is loving the cupcake.

Well it has been forever since I have posted anything, so I might be doing some catching up.

Morgan turned 2 years old on January 4th. She loved having a special day for herself and now when ever we say it is someone elses birthday she says, "No, Morgan birthday"

Baby Chase is Born

Some reason the pictures came in backwards. I am finally posting pictures of after Chase was born. 

So all day Tuesday November 18 I was having contractions nothing consistent and by 10pm they were going away so luckly I got some sleep that night. I woke up at 4 am and the contractions were back every 5 minutes, but they didn't seem to progress much and again by 7:30 am they were coming every 10 to 15 minutes. I tried to get Peter to go on a walk with me but Morgan was still sleeping. We did get everything ready, because I was having contractions so often. I was frustrated so I layed down to take a nap. That didn't work because then the real contractions started. I had Peter messaging my back during contractions and Morgan playing with my hair.

We got to the Birthing Suite at 11:30 am and my mom came to pick Morgan up shortly after we got there. My contractions were hard, but only coming every 7 minutes. 

We had a nice, intimate birth with just Peter and my midwife. It was really calm. We laughed lots and we even ate chips and salsa while I sat in the bath tube. (Not like I would have pictured it to be). 

Don't worry it wasn't all easy and fun. I spent about 2 hours pushing out my big 8 pound 15 ounce boy. I guess he pooped a lot when he came out so he would have been 9 pounds. But because of my wonderful husbands couching I didn't tear at all. 

At 5:49 pm Chase Randall Hill was born. He is so beautiful even with all the vernix on him. What amazing things our bodies can do. I look at him and can't believe he was inside me. Heavenly Father loves us so much that he sends such sweet spirits to us here on earth. 

Peter Kayaking

Morgan and I drove with Peter and Mike to the Kananaskis River to watch them kayak. This is more of a play river so they would do the same wave a few times so we got to watch them a lot. Morgan and I sat down by the river on some rocks and Morgan put her feet in the very cold water. Every time Peter paddled away from us she would try to jump into the water. This girl has no fear. She also kept saying, "Morgan Kayak." Just what Peter wants is her to kayak.

Trying out the kayak.
Mike and Pete getting ready.

Caitlin's Shower

When we were in Canada got to go to Caitlin's baby shower. She was only due 3 weeks before me. She had her baby 2 weeks early and I still have 3 weeks to go. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to go early, not counting on it.  

Morgan is trying to steal the presents because she knows her mom is having a boy too...
Morgan and her Aunt Jessica. She only went to her when I said that she was married to Uncle Mike. She sure loves her uncles.

Tie Lake

I am finally posting some pictures from our trip to Canada. Our first stop was Tie Lake in BC. It was so nice there. It was fairly warm but the water was so cold. The only thing we could get in there was our feet and not even for very long. There were some crazy people out on the wake board, surfing, and tubing behind the boat. It is easy to tell that we were in Texas all summer with the warm ocean water. We weren't use to the Canadian Cold. 

Morgan did have a blast. Every morning when she would wake up she would say, "Outside to Play". She loved the trampoline, the slide, playing in the dirt, seeing lots of different animals and not being in the car. Since we had driven 37 hours in about a weeks time. Not the funnest for a little girl or a pregnant woman. Poor Peter.

This sign was posted by the river where the salmon were sponning (I think that is what they call it). I, of course, was freaked out seeing the sign. I wanted to stay right by the car in case a bear decided it was hungery, but Peter wanted to get a picture of Morgan and I with the fish in view, on the opposite side of the river as our car. We all survived. This was the first time I have seen this and it is really cool.

The next few pictures are of Morgan playing outside. She loved every minute of it. As you can see she is always smiling.



Some how we got this picture twice.
