Camping!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!!!

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!
