Fun Times!!

So it has been over a month since my last post. I guess I need to get better at posting more often.
Jaden is now 6 months old. He is in the 95% for height and 35% for weight. He is now rolling over and sitting up for a bit by himself.


We went to the Draper Temple open house. It was a wonderful day!

Since Jaden is now rolling over this is often how he sleeps.


Jaden is having fun already driving his daddy's BMW!!


We had a new nephew born on February 24th. Jen's brother Scott and his wife Amy had a baby boy. His name is Evan Leon Nielson. I think that Spencer loves him, but Kate is not quite sure.

Jen, Evan, BJ and Jaden
I think Evan was making a funny face at Jaden, because Jaden loves to grab things now, including Evan. Jaden now has 5 boy cousins his age. How fun!!



We play on a 30+ coed soccer team. I don't know what we were thinking, but we seemed to enjoy it enough that we are going to play again.

Newton, Scott (he broke his toe playing), BJ, Jen, Leslee, Mark, Natalie, Paul, Patti, Dan and Liz. Sandra was sick this game. We really missed her, but I think we would have got wasted anyway!! We have won a couple, I know what a surprise!


Jaden and BJ
Jaden loves taking baths. He splashes sooo much. We used to bathe him on the counter, but everything was getting soaked. So we put his small bath in the big bath. Much better!!


Jaden seems to always kick his socks off. So one day I put new socks on and they were really long. Hopefully these won't come off.
(I didn't keep them like this)

We had a fun time with the Flammers and Fosters that were in town over Valentines Day. We also celebrated February Birthdays while they were here. Grandma & Grandpa's house was pretty crazy and FUN!!

Hey Jen-
It was so good to hear from you. I can't believe Jaden is all ready 6 months old! Time flies. He is such a cutie. I miss playing volleyball with you too. I just got asked to play on a co-ed team up here so that should be fun. Talk to you later.

Jaden looks like a BMW natural! Make sure he gets a kiss and big hug from his Texas grandparents.

Hi Jen. This is Aspen Ridges Hadley. My sister sent me the link to your blog. I just wanted to tell you how darling your boy is and how happy I am that you're doing well. Parenthood is definitely worth the wait... we went the waiting route ourselves. Congrats and good luck! It's quite the ride :)

It's been a while since I have checked your blog. Jaden looks so cute in that bath tub, and the socks are pretty good looking too! I'm so glad we're playing soccer again, it's pretty addicting!
