In August Nathan and I celebrated our 11th Wedding anniversary. Caelum started Kindergarten in September. I can't believe how big is getting. He loves his teacher Miss. Parker. Conner celebrated his 3rd birthday in October. He is so cute and kind (most of the time). We didn't do much in November. Nathan got to go to Boston in November it was fun being a lone with the kids for 4 days by my self (not). December was a busy month with all the Christmas parties. The boys got luck this year they got to see Santa twice. Below is some pics of all the craziness the last couple of months. Enjoy :)

2011-06-01T09:44:00.005-06:00

Okay so I know it has been a while but I thought I would update. Last week I took the boys to the zoo. It was a ton of fun. The Zoo has these dinosaurs set up they were so cool. Caelum also had his Preschool graduation. I can't believe how big he is. Below is a video of the festivities. Enjoy

Family Pics 2010

2010-10-07T10:18:00.002-06:00

So Nathan and I and the boys had our family pics taken a few weeks ago by Nathan's dad. Below is a slide show of the pics enjoy.

Papa

2010-08-12T09:22:00.003-06:00

So my Papa passed away last night at around 9:00pm or a little later. He was admitted to the hospital 11 days ago. The day before he went to the hospital Nathan and I took the boys up to go see him. I'm so glad we did because they got to see their great-grandpa. It was so cute to see them with him. Below is a few pics of the boys with Papa. I love you Papa and I can't wait to see you again. See you later.

Birthday and Vacation

2010-07-25T14:40:00.003-06:00

So this past week was a fun one for our family. Last Saturday (the 17th) we had Caelum,s 5th birthday party. He wanted a how to Train your Dragon party. It was lots of fun. We had it early in the day so we could finish packing and head up to Yellowstone. On Sunday was Caelum,s birthday so we went to Bear world. That was fun until Caelum decided to fall of one of the little kids rides when it was done and bonk his nose. After bear world we drove to west Yellowstone and just spent the rest of the day around town. The next day we went up in to Yellowstone to go to the upper and lower waterfalls. They are so pretty. I just love the sound of waterfalls. The next day we went to Old Faithful. It was fun to watch my kids watching it go off. Caelum really liked it. On wed we went up to Mammoth Hot Springs. walked around it for a little bit and the Caelum went on this fifteen min thing with a ranger so he could get his Junior Ranger Badge. All and all it was a fun week. A little hard at time with the kids in the car. Bellow is a slide of everything. We didn't get any of old faithful i I didn't put any of the other geysers on the slide show. Enjoy

Pics

2010-07-12T14:37:00.003-06:00

So I took caelum about a week ago to get his pics done for his 5 year mark. below is a few of them. Enjoy.

I love this one because it shows how long his eyelashes are and his cute little dimple under his eye.

Graduation

2010-05-18T11:00:00.003-06:00

So yesterday Caelum graduated from Preschool. We are so proud of him. Even though he will be doing preschool for another year it was fun to watch him. Nate took the day off so he could come to his preschool to watch the program. After the graduation we went up to the Zoo. It was such a nice day and the zoo was not busy at all.

ZOO

2010-04-15T13:34:00.005-06:00

About a week ago I decided to take the boys up to the zoo. Here are a few pics. It was very busy up there but we still had fun.

Almost 18 months

2010-04-04T21:01:00.003-06:00

So on Saturday we took Conner to get his picture done for his 18 month mark that he will be hitting in a couple of weeks. It was kind of a challenge because he didn't want to stay put. He kept picking up the stool he was sitting on. Even though it was hard I think we got a few cute pictures of him.

A few things about him that he is doing right now. He only has 6 teeth 2 on the bottom and 4 on top. He watches everything his big brother does. He is kind of quite. He really doesn't say a whole lot but momma and dad, juice, bye and hi. He also point to his belly. It is so cute. If he has a shirt on he will lift it up. Like to take a bath and put the soap on himself also he likes to help with lotion. If he sees me put on lotion he will copy me. He gets into everything. He is trying to learn how to jump up and down. It's so much fun to watch him. He is also trying to do somersaults. He Loves to give loves (hugs) and kisses to me. He is such a sweet little man. Love him lots.

Can't Wait

2009-12-30T15:25:00.003-07:00

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Below is some pic I took of Conner. This was before Christmas. I was in the kitchen cleaning and Conner I guess was a little hungry. So Funny. I guess he likes the marshmallows more

I just love this face

Fun In The Snow

2009-12-15T12:34:00.007-07:00

So with the big snow storm we had on sunday Nate thought it would be fun after church and when my parents got to my house to let the kids go out and play in the snow. Here are a few pics of them in the snow.

Conner in his snow gear. A little big on him.

Conner really didn't like the snow.

New Members

2009-11-29T10:34:00.003-07:00

So yesterday Christmas came a little early for us as a family. Meet the new members of our family.

Remington "Remi" Hill

Maximus "Max" Hill

Remi is a German Short hair. He is 11 weeks old and full of energy. Max is a Boxer. He is only 4 weeks old and very timid right now but we know that will change having had a boxer before.

The Big 1

2009-10-22T08:56:00.006-06:00

So Conner turned one a week ago. I know I'm slow putting up this post. It was so much fun. I can't believe how big he is. A little info about Conner: He is walking all over the place, He finally has his 2 bottom teeth. He says mama and dada. He is a very calm child and also very loving. I just love him. Below is a few pics of his b-day party and also a video of him walking around a couple of days before his b-day.

T-Ball

2009-09-27T08:46:00.003-06:00

As promised here is a slide show of Caelum playing T-Ball. This was on his second game. Thanks Grandpa Hill (Nate's Dad) A few of Conner as well.

Update

2009-09-23T10:19:00.002-06:00

So not a whole bunch has been going on in our little family.

Caelum has started pre-school again. He is having so much fun. He is also playing T-Ball and soccer right now. I think he likes soccer better. I have some pic of Caelum playing t-ball I will post them later.

Conner is trying to walk. He takes about two or three steps by himself. I can't believe he is going to be one in less than a month. Man time sure does fly. He still has no teeth hopfully he gets them soon. He does this really cute thing when I am doing the laundry. When I am folding the clothes on the floor he will crawl over and lay on top of them. It's so cute. I will have to take some pic's and post them. He is talking a little. He says "mama", "dada", sometime "hi", "what" when you call for him or sometimes he will say "huh".

So that is what is going on right now in our family. Post some more later.

What Fun

2009-08-31T10:13:00.004-06:00

So I think Caelum throughout the day yesterday felt bad about not getting us something for our anniversary, so he did something about it.

That's right he wanted to give us a trip to the instacare.

Fun huh. Brave little boy.

Three stitches.

9 Year's

2009-08-30T09:30:00.001-06:00

So today is mine and Nate's 9 year anniversary. I can't believe it has been nine years. Wow time sure does fly. Last night we got a babysitter for the boys so we could go out to dinner (thanks Kierstie. We went to Foustinas. It was really good food. It was fun just spending time together alone that we don't get very often having two small boys. I just want to say that I love you Nate. Thanks for everything you do for our family.

Caelum's B-day

2009-08-05T11:36:00.005-06:00

So I'm a little behind but Caelum turned 4 a couple of weeks ago. Below it the slide show. Also below is a couple of pic of Conner's new haircut. I took the boys over to cookie cutters earlier this week and got their hair cut.

The Boys

2009-07-06T14:14:00.003-06:00

So I went last Thursday to get picture's of the boys. Below are some of the picture's. These are for Caelum's 4 year old pic and for Conner's 9 month old pic.

Bowling Fun

2009-06-22T09:40:00.003-06:00

So on Saturday I had this idea for the family to go bowling. I had some free passes so I thought why not. It was so much fun. Caelum did really well. I guess him watching me bowl every wed. during the fall pays off. Below are some pics. They aren't really good because we took them on a phone.

Caelum throwing the ball.

Caelum just waiting the ball hit the pins.

Scores for the first game.

Caelum and Conner.

Scores for the last game.

Weekend Fun

2009-06-09T09:26:00.005-06:00

So this past weekend we did a couple of fun things. On Friday we went up to the ZOO as a family. It was fun. Cold but fun. Then on sat. Nathan and I went to the RSL soccer game.

Nathan and I at the Soccer Game

Below is a picture of the boys at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. I was able to go on may 28th with my Dad, mom, Kristine, Ryan (her husband), and my other sisters Collette and Teresa. We went on a private tour of the temple. It was lots of fun. I really like the Brides room. Nathan and I will be going again on the 20th.

Memorial Day Fun

2009-05-27T10:03:00.003-06:00

So this year for Memorial Day we just did things together as a family. When we got up we all got dressed and went to IHop. After that we just hung out at home until it was time for dinner. We went and picked up KFC and went to a park for dinner. It was so much fun spending time together.

Soccer

2009-05-06T09:45:00.004-06:00

Caelum is in soccer this year and it been really fun to watch him. His team name is the Purple Dragons. So cute what kids come up with. We don't have a lot of pic of him kicking the ball during the game because he is not very aggressive. One of his cousins is on his team with him. Here is a few pics before the first game he played a couple of weeks ago.

I think we will have to sign him up for Baseball next year because he really likes baseball and he always talks about wanting to play. We shall see.

6 month's old

2009-04-15T08:33:00.004-06:00

Man I can't believe our little guy is 6 month's old. Time sure does fly. He is almost sitting up all by himself now. I have been trying to give him baby food but he doesn't want to eat it. He just keeps his mouth closed. Stubborn little guy. He is a really good baby, really doesn't cry unless he wants his bottle when I am shaking it up. Below are some of his professional pic we got taken of him last Thursday (on my 31st b-day0. Enjoy

Fun Times

2009-04-02T09:16:00.018-06:00

So on Monday and Tuesday Nate took off work and we did a little stay cation with the boys. We went to The Living Planet Aquarium on Monday. Tuesday we went to the Dinosaur Museum in Lehi. It was so much fun spending time together as a family. Below are some pic of our time together.

Update

2009-03-17T14:07:00.003-06:00

Not a whole lot to update about but I thought I would let all you know what is going on. Today marks one week with out Copper. I'm still a little sad but getting better. Caelum is doing really good about the whole thing. He still comes up to me every now and than and says he misses he friend Copper. He also is starting to say that Copper is at the North Pole with Santa. Kids say the cutest things. I know it will get better it is just going to take some time. I also need to stop looking at the humane soceity's web site to see if he got adopted. But I just feel so bad and I want to make sure that he is not in there for a very long time.
Conner is 5 months old now. I can't believe how big he is getting. He is almost sitting up by himself. He still hates to be on his belly but when he is on his back he rolls from side to side. He use to scream talk to us, now he has this thing that he growls or grunts. We miss the Scream talk it was much cuter.
Caelum is really enjoying going to school. He calls it school house because the lady teaches out of her house. I am just trying to get him to tell me and remember everything he learned that day and what he learned in the past. He is doing well.
Nate is doing good. Just still looking for another job. He still has one and is very thankful he does. He just wants a new one because he is feeling stuck at where he is at and he wants to grow in a company not stay the same.
As for me I am doing good. Just have a little cabin fever. Very glad that the weather is warming up. Well that is it for our family for now. I know long and boring post but oh well. OH one more thing I can't wait for friday night. I am going with Larkyn to the midnight realse party for the Twilight movie. So excited:)

SAD

2009-03-11T08:41:00.005-06:00

Yesterday was a very sad day in our house. We have been talking for a while about getting rid of Copper not in a bad way of getting rid of him just for the better. Yesterday I decided to do it. Let me tell you it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. It felt like I was getting rid of one of my kids. In a way he was one. We have had copper since he was 8 weeks old. I have never cried so much in my life over an animal. It will be hard not having him around but I know it's for the best all around. We love you Copper and you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

School

2009-03-03T21:34:00.004-07:00

Well today was an exciting day for Caelum. He started a 3yr old spring preschool. In the fall he will start a 4yr old preschool. I can't believe our little buddy is already in school. He was so cute about it. He was very excited to go when I took him up to the lady's house (she is in our ward) he ran right in and didn't even look back. When I went back to pick him up he started to cry because he didn't want to leave. His teacher before she let him go asked him what was he going to tell me that he learned today and he said "I learned about Jesus" So funny. He will be learning about the ABC's for the spring. Today he learned about the letter A and what sound it makes.

4 months old

2009-02-16T13:14:00.003-07:00

Conner turned 4 months old yesterday. He is getting so big. He discovered he has a voice. It's really cute to listen to him. He is a very happy baby. The only times he cries is to have a bottle or when he is board and wants to be held. Below are some pic of him and Caelum.

Job Description

2009-02-05T09:08:00.004-07:00

So I saw this on my sister-in-laws blog and thought it was the funniest thing so I thought I would put it on mine. Thanks Dani very cute:)

Position
Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma
Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop

JOB DESCRIPTION :
Long term, team players needed, for challenging, permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities! Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES :
The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone realizes they need $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat just in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, and an acute embarrassment the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices. Must always hope for the best but always be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete and total accountability for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION :
None. Your job is to remain in the same position for years,without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :
None required, unfortunately.
On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :
Get this- you pay them!
Offering frequent raises and bonuses and possibly "allowance."
When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS :
While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition
reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this
job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth, unconditional love, and free hugs and kisses for life, that is, if you play your cards right.

So, how does the job sound??!!

Conner's Professional 3 month old pics

2009-01-23T09:34:00.008-07:00

Below is a slide of the the pic's I got done last thursday of Conner.

Conner

2009-01-15T14:29:00.004-07:00

Well Conner is three months old today. Man time sure does fly. He is so cute. Update on what he is doing.

1) He is cooing but he is very quite about it ( just not for me).

2) He is smiling a lot. It is very different to have a happy baby (Caleum wasn't a happy baby until he was about 6 months old).

3) Goes to bed at 9:30pm and wakes up for the first time between 3:30 - 4:30am.

4) Only has eyes for his mom. What I mean by that is when Nate gets home and holds him Conner won't look at him but the second I hold him he smiles and he always looks at me.

I went and got his pics done today this is one I took at home. I will post the other ones when I get them in about a week or so. I didn't know how hard it would be having 2 kids. It's so hard but it's also a blessing. I love my boys to death and would not change a thing.

Caelum

2009-01-15T14:19:00.004-07:00

Okay so I know its been a while so I thought I would do some posts. Caelum is doing so good. We are so proud of him. I enjoy every day with him. I think it's funny when he comes to me and says "mom wipe my butt," so funny. He has been really good with Conner also. He always want to hold his hand, all the time (except when Conner is crying then he tells me "mom make him happy). I hope they are best friends. I just want to know when do Boys calm down. It's like he is the energizer bunny or something. He is non-stop go from the moment he wakes up until he goes to bed.

Happy New Year

2009-01-01T14:20:00.002-07:00

Happy New Year.
I hope all you hopes and dreams come true for you this year. We love you all.

Annette and Fam. :)

2008-12-28T18:37:00.002-07:00

I hope you all had a good Christmas. Ours was good except for all the snow that we got. Caelum really enjoyed Christmas this year. It was really cute to see his face every time he opened a gift. We let him open Conner's gifts also. Caelum still talks about Santa coming and eating the cookie and drinking all the milk we left out for him. So cute. And I must say I got my Christmas wish, it was to have him completely potty trained by Christmas. I am so proud of him.We have some pics but I will post those later. Hope you all have a wonderful new year. Love you all.

2008-12-15T09:41:00.004-07:00

Okay so I went and got my hair cut and I also had my mom color it. Below are the before and after pics. Okay they are not the best of pics but I really don't like my smile so that is the best you get. HAHAHAHA

Happy Halloween

2008-11-01T13:34:00.000-06:00

So for halloween this year Caelum was a fire fighter and Conner was a Skeleton. We went over to Nate's work and Caelum loaded up on candy so when Nate took him around our neighborhood he only took him to about 10 houses. Below are some pictures of the boys in their costumes

Just Arrived

2008-10-18T20:00:00.001-06:00

Conner Lynn Hill

8lb. 11oz.

21in

This is our new little addition to our family. He was born on October 15th at 10:36pm. We are gald that he has come into our lives. Caelum is doing rather well with the addition of Conner. I am very surprised by that. I thought for sure that he would struggle with the change. Is he not just the cutest. I love his chunky cheeks. He also has a full head of Black hair that I hope he keeps. I am doing good considering that he was a big boy. I feel so much better with this time around than the last time.

This is conner the next morning

This is Conner in his going HOME outfit. So Cute

This is conner today just sleeping. He is always doing that. He has his nights and days mixed up right now.

Look at all that Hair.

Potty Man

2008-10-06T09:02:00.000-06:00

Okay so my little guy is almost potty trained. We started this project right after he turned three in July. We haven't been forcing the issue. He has mostly been training himself. I think what really helped is when my friend Kelli and her husband Spencer and her 3 year old son Jaxson came over about a week ago. Jaxson used our bathroom and Caelum being the curious person he is watched and sense then he has done really well only a few accidents in his pull ups. I think I will try underwear when the baby gets here. The only thing we can't get him to do is go poo in the potty. Any suggestions would be great.

My Cute Little Man

2008-09-29T16:25:00.001-06:00

So i went and got Caelum's hair cut on Saturday. I forgot the level that I cut it at on his birthday July 18th so I told her to use a level 2. Big mistake it is so short. I think he looks like a cancer boy. (I hope that doesn't offend anybody). The reason I say that is because he has really blond hair. Oh well I guess it will grow back. At least I don't have to do it for a while. That will be nice for when the baby comes.

This next pic is of Caelum pointing at his belly. The reason I took it is because yesterday Nate told Caelum to tell the baby to come out so Caelum lifted up his shirt and told his brother to come out. I thought it was the cutest thing. If it was only true that he is caring the baby and not me. That would be nice. I didn't know if he would do it again but he did. Oh man he makes me laugh. My days would be boring if he wasn't around.

Belly

2008-09-22T15:26:00.000-06:00

Okay so I know this post might be dumb but oh well. I am so done being prego. I want this little guy to come out. I have about 20 days left. I have a question for anyone out there who wants to help me out. This little guy has bruised my rib and I have been dealing with it for about a week and a half but just can't any more. Is there something I can do so I can sleep again without pain. No matter what side I sleep on it takes forever to fall asleep because of the pain. I take Tylenol but that is not helping. Also warm baths aren't helping either. Please help!!!! There is one thing I will miss about being prego when this guy come out it's hearing Caelum say man mom your belly is getting big. What a cute little guy huh. He also likes to point to his belly and say my baby is kicking. Funny huh.

Caelum's New Room

2008-09-15T14:44:00.000-06:00

We got Caelum's new room all set up this weekend. He loves his new room. I have to say I think he has the cutest room in the whole house. We moved him into the old office so we could put the baby in Caelum's old room because it's bigger and it will hold the crib and everything else in it better.
