Its Another???

Can You tell?? I almost feel like this little guy is being a tad graphic... BUT there really was no mistaking this little monkey was DEFINITELY letting us know "WHAT" he was...
Yep it is another Little man to protect their big sister!
Poor Addy was probably just as shocked as I was...The heart beat kind of lead me to believe I was having a girl, I think the Lord has a funny sense of humor encouraging me to meet my target of 6 yes that is right, I told Addy that I would keep trying until she had a sister! I really am excited about this little guy...Just a little well
Shocked is all, See it has pretty much gone either girl boy girl boy, in my family, my mom called tonight, since I have thrown everyone off on my side of the family, lol, and told me that my younger brother, whose wife is due in February with their little girl, Thought I might have had a miscarriage, GRATEFULLY I did not and apparently just like to throw things off! I really am so grateful that Rohnin will have a brother close in age and am pretty serious when it comes to hoping for a little sister for Addy ONE DAY...Time will tell! Hope you all have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving! Time to start cooking!!! Love and miss you all!!!

On A Lighter Note!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Wow, HONESTLY talk about AWEFUL...

I AM SO VERY SORRY to those of you who may have read OR accessed my PERSONAL JOURNAL... Yep that is right, I have only had my personal diary for a short time, 14 entries in less than a year, and unbeknownst to me... just about anyone and everyone could read it, and read into my very core...I am embarrassed, humiliated, Hurt and disgusted...When I first set this Journal up I thought that I had protected myself against this very thing, I was actually encouraged to write and work through my struggles and thoughts by writing in a journal...AND was very hesitant when I first set it up because this was going to act as my private journal...NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC...So when I, VERY GRATEFULLY, received a sweet phone call in regards to my personal blog, from my father in law, tonight, I just about BURST into tears. MIND You, I had NO IDEA it was open to the public, because I thought I had closed all viewing to the public in the very beginning...Talk about the worst kind of private violation that can happen to a person Unaware, that others ARE aware of my personal trials, yet remaining silent in the fact that they too have read into my personal, private life, of which is and was NOT theirs to know about...

My "Hatch Family" blog was to act as my fun and open story book, for others to see, since we are SOOO VERY FAR AWAY from family and friends, it is there to update CLOSE family and friends with pictures and fun stories. BUT because most of those close family and friends do not know the in's and out's of the blogging world I could not make this particular blog Private, because it would cut them off from my family, and I did NOT and DO Not want that...so the "world" was given access to this blog. I did NOT want others to know of my personal days of struggle and pain IN ANY WAY...I try and keep my fun blog light and personal, NOT depressing...

TO be completely honest this last year has been a HUGE struggle in various personal ways and I am working on MANY things towards over coming various problems and have come to terms with many difficult insecurities...I HAVE been Angry, Emotional, Tired, and ALL the struggles that come with admitting your faults and wanting to change for the better...After All I Am Human and in order to make it through this life I MUST want to change so that I, as well as my family can grow towards progressive spiritual well being...
Is it easy... Of Course Not, we ALL have our issues and struggles after all...But like I said before, I was encouraged to write about my struggles and work through them...Being this far away from my mother has been SOOO heart wrenching, WHY because I can not just hope in a car and drive home anymore, or get a hug when I REALLY NEED ONE or feel up close and personal that unconditional love a mother and daughter share...it takes a long plane ride and WAY TOO much money, that we Honestly DON'T HAVE...the holidays ARE SOOOO hard, when one has come from a very family oriented back ground, I miss my family, friends and relatives soo very much these days and the fact that Art will be on call on Thanksgiving IS NOT HELPING...I feel aweful that he has to work that day and NOT be with his family for 36 hours on one of my hubby's ALL TIME FAVORITE holidays...and knowing that Everyone else in the world will be surrounded by their families, has tears falling down my face at this moment...

I am a wife to a wonderful husband who is a very hard working Resident Doctor...we have our great days and our bad days...there are days when I wish I were around the corner from family BUT I am not. Life can be VERY difficult, interesting, great, challenging, and crazy as a Doctors wife...We get 1 pay check and it is not always enough...I have many days when I want to get a job and help ends meet financially, but can't, so I do a little bit of hair out of my home now and then to try and help out and keep me sane! We had a sweet grandpa pass away and another in the hospital this last month and I am STILL in recovery from pneumonia, I have had several of my close friends out here tell me they will be moving by the end of this coming summer and being pregnant and emotional well its been rough... BUT THIS is our life right now, and it will not always be this way and we are still figuring things out as we go along...I L-O-V-E my husband, I L-O-V-E my children, I am NOT perfect, and am struggling to once again be content and happy with myself and this difficult life...Satan DOES NOT WANT ME TO SUCCEED BUT I CAN AND I WILL.

If you have no idea what I am talking about I AM GRATEFUL, if you HAVE read my Personal Journal Blog...I am sorry and pray you have not judged me or been offended by my words of pain and heartache...it was NEVER meant for your eyes OR anyone else's...THANK YOU RICK for pointing this ENORMOUS ERROR OUT TO ME...I opened up my mind and heart and wrote what I felt at that moment, thinking and believing that I was the ONLY one able to see and read my personal entries... to discover tonight that I had my journal opened to the "world," HONESTLY JUST HURTS... I learned a difficult lesson that will take some time to recover from...BUT with time like any other curve ball thrown at me I CAN and WILL recover!

I smell as fresh as a rose...

Addy said this the other day after a very loud "questionable sound" came from her petite little booty...

So I am officially 31 as of Tuesday the 15th, just a little behind! I really liked how some of my other girlfriends posted some facts and fun things once they turned 30, that I never remembered to do, soo I am taking that opportunity today!

1. I am totally and completely IN L-O-V-E with my Amazingly talented, good looking "Man" of mine, and My beautiful, creative, full of surprises, fun loving children! I love and am Grateful for and too -ALL...on BOTH sides- of my family and friends in AZ, NV, UT, and AR who have made a difference, supported, encouraged, assisted, helped, and just loved... me and my family (US) for who we are and where we are today, You have ALL impacted our life in such a WONDERFUL way! I am a better wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister and friend because I have each and every one of you unique, special and beautiful people in and a part of my life! -Thank You!
2. I L-O-V-E me some one on one date nights with my "Hot" hubby...they are few and far between but gosh they are needed! -Hubby time-A MUST!
3. I Love it when me kids play and giggle together, BEST sound EVER!
4. I DO NOT like folding laundry or washing dishes...
5. I love rocking and reading to my kids how they both are quiet and cuddle in to hear the story! -LOVE! 6. I love my families little "private dance parties" the kids dancing in front of the T.V. so they can see themselves and Dad moving a grooving to the music...gets me laughing every time!
7. I love getting and taking pictures whether it is of the kids or the family, it is a ton of work but I love the end results and looking back and the memories behind and during the actual photos...be it tears or laughter! -Memories!
8. I DO NOT like cleaning up throw up or poopy clean ups messes...
9. I love how excited my kids get when they know we are taking the "Concoa" aka Bronco!
10. I love cutting and doing up-do's on clients! I love the out come on and with hair and color. The anticipation and jitters I get during and right before I rinse the color out, silently saying a prayer that the client is happy and loves their color, gets me every time!
11. I love going on long quad rides up at my parents cabin!
12. I am NOT a competitive person, yes I enjoy winning, who doesn't, but would rather enjoy a good game or sport rather than get upset because I lost!
13. I enjoy going on scenery walks along with playing soft ball and volley ball...-For Fun
14. I LOVE going boating, skiing and wake boarding, miss it tons these days...Favorite Lake by Far is Lake Powell!
15. I love decorating for the holidays, and am getting the itch to start decorating for Christmas! Hmm maybe going to start today!
16. I Do Not like yelling, arguing, getting angry or mad, lecturing, OR disciplining, BUT would be a big ol hypocrite if I didn't admit to the fact that sadly I find I do all of those very well, and sometimes WAY TOO often. -Something I AM Work On
17. I love getting together with extended family and seeing my cousins and their children and catching up on life and drama!
18. I love having girl time, whether it is a girls night out or just hanging out chatting, I feel it actually helps in soo many ways! -Therapeutic
19. I love getting the chance to do ward members, family and friends hair, and the chance it gives me to play catch up or get to know that individual better!
20. I am NOT a big fan of yard work, but am actually enjoying the opportunity it gives me to watch my children play or interact with each other, or just digging in the dirt "thinking they are helping out."
21. I love to go on vacation, and one day would LOVE to travel the world and see all the fascinating sights, I have "pinned" that this world has hiding from me!
22. I love smart phones and all the fun games and discoveries one makes in the various "apps" out there, but HATE the cost that the phone companies charge, just for data...
23. I love singing and reading, whenever I get the opportunity!
24. I love pointed toe cowgirl boots!
25. I DO NOT LIKE Scary Movies, I may have dislocated Art's thumb after jumping in a scary movie, I do not like the whole fearful thinking afterwards as well...the "Blaire Witch Projected" freaked me out especially when we went on vacation to Lake Powell and had to sleep outside on the boat...NOT FUN...
26. I love the funny things my kids do and say, I don't always remember them all but love the laughter and smile that fills my soul... later when reminiscing on the day!
27. I love having my own home, being able to call it my own, the space to have my kids run around in, my neighbor hood, decorating, painting and making it my own...I didn't get to go with Art to look for a home, but think he did an AWESOME job when he found this house for our family! -Home Sweet Home
28. I smile every time I get the vacuum out, I may even be a little ocd, I do not like things on my floors when vacuuming and HAVE to get the nooks and crannies as I go along beside the base boards...EVERY TIME...AND I chuckle every time my kids see me get the vacuum out, Addy runs around, like a crazy person...due to the noise and will wear head phones to try and keep her sane while I vacuum, and any time I ask her to pick something up I almost feel she is hoping and jumping to avoid being "attack" by the dreaded vacuum. Rohnin's face, well his scowl is one thing...his panic, fear, and yelling, is another. While he too is trying at desperate attempts to stay away from the horrible beast, yet out of curiosity comes close occasionally just to check it out, I just vacuumed...but this is the norm everytime I vacuum...lol
29. I DO NOT LIKE onions or tomatoes raw and nuts in anything cooked or baked. But, I LOVE onion rings, raw nuts, salsa and spaghetti sauce. So don't be surprised if you see me use onion powder when cooking, or picking out the cooked onions, raw onions and tomatoes, and nuts in my food, I do not like the texture or how it changes the overall taste of my food!
30. I am a night owl, not that you should, but if you called me at mid night, I would still be up. I started a project at 11pm the other night and didn't go to bed till 2:30am. NOT that this is a good thing, AT ALL...I may not be the brightest, sane, or happy little egg the next day...dragging in just about everything...so this too is something I hope to improve upon before this next little noodle is born, BECAUSE I am one who CHERISHES, NEEDS, and LOVES sleep to be a happy camper in the morning!
31. I love sweets, red or sour liquorish and skor bars are my favorite!

Wow that was fun! I hope you all have a Fabulous day, filled with happiness and love! Oh, my sweet hubby was able to get off of work at lunch time yay, so we went to lunch, looked at a Western store for some "cowgirl" boots, played with my new phone, enjoyed a rainy day in doors at home and then went to dinner at "Colts" where I enjoyed a wonderful steak etc. Addison was soo sweet and cute, she kept trying to give me small things that belonged to her, until I told Art that she REALLY needed to "buy/pick" a gift out for me! Of which she picked up double stuffed vanilla oreo's--yum, some cute beads to bead with, some candy, a pink and purple heart and peace sign umbrella, and a few other fun things! While they were out I was able to cuddle up with my little man and watch the end of "Bolt" and kiss him good night, with out any interruptions! It was a quiet, but, sweet day with the ones I love and care about the most! Thank you to all of you who called and helped make my day special!

The loss of a WONDERFUL GRANDPA....


I am soo very thankful to our loving Heavenly Father, who cares for each one of us and our individual needs here on earth... I am grateful for amazing grandfathers who have set the stage for those who follow, through their diligence, hard work, determination and love. Who were and will always be the kind of example we all strive to be like!
Art's Grandpa Baird, Richard "Dick" Baird, passed away from this life... to the next... today 11/09/2011, leaving behind his sweet wife, children, grandchildren and great grand children. He was one of the sweetest most loving grandpa's one could ask for...
Boy was he a sharp one, when he spoke to Addy the kindness and love shown thru and you could see the pride and admiration he had for Arthur and his family! My sweetest memories of him were quietly sitting, content with the world, breaking walnuts from his walnut tree in his backyard! I LOVED watching him interact with Addison, it made me yearn for my own dear grandfather, yet reminding me of the great love, I felt for this great man of whom I only had the privilege of seeing and being around only a handful of times...Personally, I think Art was blessed with many of his Grandpa Baird's genetics and it was ALWAYS fun for me to see the two together, and compare their similarities and differences! Yet each time held a lasting, beautiful memory close to my heart...his smile spoke volumes, and his love...endless!!!
He truly was one of the most genuine, sincere, and sweetest grandpas... quiet, yet you hung on every word when he spoke...I hold a special place in my heart for grandpas, maybe because I felt I lost mine too soon, only having one AMAZING grandpa... My heart is sad, yet my spirit is soo grateful, for his parting, ONLY, because he had been hanging in there for soooo very long, we were all worried about him in the end, praying that he not be in any pain...It honestly was a sad yet great blessing that our Heavenly Father answered our prayers in allowing this great and amazing man to be at some much needed, pain free, rest!
This was one of the BIG discussions Art and I had before starting medical school and then residency...OUR worries were for the loved ones we would not be able to see or visit while in this program, I can tell you it was a difficult decision because we both knew that family events, and death are a big part of this life and being this far away from family was going to be a challenge when it came to family reunions, funerals and weddings, the moments one does NOT want to miss out on...
I think Art and I both have questioned the choice in the field of medicine he chose, ONLY BECAUSE it was moving our young growing family soo very far away from extended family... We knew we would not be able to make it back for many things...this next week is a VERY busy week for Art, only because there will be so many off or away at a conference...we are both at a loss of words, we both are feeling the pain of loosing a very dear and sweet loved one, we both are wishing we could just hop on a plane and be there to support our family and loved ones...I pray that our prayers are heard and answered in regards to at least allowing Art the honor of attending his grandpa's funeral...
Oh Grandpa Baird you hold a dear and special place in all our hearts and you will be thought of and missed greatly...God BE With You Till We Meet Again...

Wow.................. WHERE has the time flown???

Daddy got to be off, so in between car maintenance and cleaning we made a late trip over to Mills park!!
I love all the beautiful fall colors, that surround us right now...soo beautiful!!!



THey love it when dad goes to the park, He is like a big kid who loves teasing and playing on all the fun toys!!! Addy is trying to kick him off the swings, reminding dad that " you are too big to be on the swings you are going to break it dad"


Rohnin wanted dad to join him down the slide, his head skid down the whole way, BUT at least he didn't get stuck...








Right be fore we left to go the park, I walked in to find this!!!
Addy's excuse was a happy " look mommy I am sharing" I picked my battle today and the ice cream won!
I was trying to show Rohnin how to Put the salsa on his taquito...
Looks pretty normal, except for the fact that that WAS the spoon I had just loaded with salsa, my stomach started turning right after this bite, I would have thought his did too, but boy was I wrong...

He just kept piling on the salsa, and then saw that Addy's plate was just about to be thrown out with her left over salsa and well he wasn't finished with his salsa yet...I may have gotten some video of this eventful lunch time, Art got upset, but started to laugh when he saw it for his own eyes with his home made spicy salsa of which he piled a ton on a chip and Rohnin didn't even bother on the chip part JUST the salsa...He might have tried to lick a few things after this happened...I did NOT teach him this one...This must be a hatch inheritance...it took several hours foro my stomach to finally recover from his salsa intake...



I could not get this little man to smile for his Halloween pictures, so you get to see his other fun side instead... oh and the sucker was a last minute, sanity attempt...

Yep there may have bee a TON of screaming before and during the trick or treating UNTIL I wizened up and picked up our stroller...
These are the neighbor hood kiddos that come over to play, Addy was in the back and this didn't turn out too great BUT you get the idea! They had a blast just hitting our neighbor hood!
