Happy Birthday, we are so sorry we are so late. We are so happy that you are in the Wiederhold clan. You are so friendly. We love getting to know you more each time we get to see and hang out with you. We love you dearly and think you are wonderful and smart. I love that you have pink pants.

Love, Micah & Katheryn Wiederhold

Love, Micah and Katheryn Wiederhold

We Have Met Again.

Sister Whitney Baird has returned back to Utah August 21st.

We are so happy to have her back. 

I made this sign fast because of my excitement...

We met her at the airport

Went to Cafe Rio (family tradition)

Next day we went and bought her a cup for her drinks.
Of course at our favorite place, Crest.

It's been so fun to have her back!

Primary Chase

This last Saturday Micah received a text asking if we could substitute the 5-6 year old class.

I've always thought it would be so fun to teach Primary. I love kids and what fun would it be to attend Primary and teach a lesson to sweet kids. Right?

Micah and I prepared for a fun 5 year old class. Got all the coloring stuff and since the time of the call we could not get treats (which I think would of helped the class).

So we go to Sacrament feeling pretty good about ourselves. 

We go to Primary and apparently we were early, you could tell we were first timers. They showed us to our row and the kids came in slowly. Cute little boys sat on our row and we were so happy.

Primary was about to start when the 2 trouble makers make it to our row. One yelling, "I don't like new teachers, I don't like NEW TEACHERS." She then ran to her mom (I think). One sat down to me and loved to tell me everything about her. Later, in the same hour the girl came back to the row ready to give me a hard time for the rest of the hour and the next. She ran around the primary acting so crazy. Then she yells, "I need to go to the bathroom." So I followed her out, it looked like she wasn't planning on it but knew she had to because I was following her. While in the bathroom she was not going to wash her hands, to me that is NASTY. So some how I talked her into it, and there she was playing in the soap and water regretting my wants on her washing her hands. (But glad she did) I gave her several warnings nothing really worked. She then replies, "I need to wash my hands really good because I have been picking my nose." Well then glad she washed her hands even more. I tried to race her back to the primary class....that didn't work she just said, "I hate when people do that, they just make up silly games to try to get kids where they want them." ..... (my response to her)

We finally made it back into the Primary class and boy was it rough as she continued to run around the Primary room.

We then went to the classroom, these two girls were crazy. But I think we handled the situation great. We tried to get them involved and I think they enjoyed it. The other kids were so great and I appreciate their cuteness...because after dealing with those two kids I didn't want kids, but then I look at the other 4 they were great, and I think my kid could be that great. (in the future)

Hope you had a great laugh from our experience. :)

Vacation Time

Micah and I got invited to go to Disneyland with the whole Wiederhold Clan.

We had a blast and thought it was a blast. We love family time. 

Our first day at Disneyland

TO WHOM: NORA

WHEN: JUNE 16th

AGE: 1

It's been so fun to have Miss Nora join the family this last year. She is so fun and cute. She loves to eat hair... I know weird. She loves to be on the floor and play. She went to Japan in October with her mom, Cydne and I to visit Grandma and Grandpa. And she was the dendo (Missionary work) Baby. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NORA! WE LOVE YOU!!! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU GROW UP MORE!

Rory Post.

Rory likes to sleep between things. This was her during Laundry time.

She loves walks, but as you can see they wear her out.

When she sleeps she sometimes bites the cage...

She loves to shake her food off of paper towels... 

Loves to play with this blanket; Hide and seek, chew on it and several other fun things.

Her least favorite things is....BATH TIME! :)

She LOVES Micah!!!

"Celebrate Good Times..."

Last week I had a birthday, I turned 23.

I'm a year older and wiser too. (this part of the song my dad pretends to pick his nose)

Birthdays when I was young was the coolest thing ever. You got to choose the activities through out the day (expect that one year when my mom made me go to RC WILLY, BOO!) and your choice of dinner, (Whitney usually would try to encourage me to go where she wanted to go). When you get older it isn't that much fun. I'm not one that LOVES attention and wants EVERYONE to LOOK at ME. I'm much more on the relax side.

We started celebrating my birthday last Saturday with my siblings. We went to Cheesecake and when I went to use the bathroom everyone told them it was my birthday. My niece Molly tried to give me the warning but her mother told her, "Shh.. Molly it's a secret." She was so happy to jump on the secret train she didn't give me any hints. But everyone was smiling at me looking for our waiter. That's when I knew what was going to happen next. A bunch of waiters came singing at our table and gave me ice cream with hot fudge. I'm a sucker for ice cream and a hot fudge. 

Thank you siblings for taking me out and celebrating. It was so fun, and I enjoyed myself. Even if I was ready to give up on our 2 hour game of 'Phase 10'.

Wednesday came and boy did I get spoiled. I went to work to see my desk full of candy and treats. How spoiled am I at work, I think they do it cause they like me and not because I'm the boss' in-law... :)

Some of the teens at work made me cute cards. At one point they had a singing contest who could sing the loudest and most off key. I don't know if they knew of the contest but I did in my head. I love it. They were so fun and loved to tell me happy birthday. The Office Ladies; Sandra, Kira, Cynthia and Marissa (also known as my sister-in-law) took me to Pizza Factory and we enjoyed pizza and a breadstick they made out of 23 to celebrate. 

When I got home from work there was a little package at the top of the stairs with my name on it. Who was it from? My cute sister serving a mission in Kobe, Japan. She had spent her money and shipped something to me for my birthday. How nice is she? She got me the most fun things from Japan. And if you've been to Japan you'd know how fun! Micah got home and we started the celebration by watching a movie ordering pizza and shopping with my birthday money. It was fun, although I'm not of a shopper and can be picky, so shopping took long. But it was fun to be with Micah. I got some fun presents and I really only became a day older. 

I love birthday's... I don't know how much longer I will enjoy them! 

Thank you all who made it such a fun day!!! :)

I love you!

My Early Birthday Present

I got a puppy!!!!

She doesn't exactly live at our house. :(

She lives with my in-laws.

I don't know why they would agree to such a situation, but they have and boy I'm grateful.

We named this cute little puppy Rory.

Why Rory?

Have you seen Gilmore Girls?

Enough said...

I love her already.

She plays with my feet and cuddles with them. She's had a few accidents but for most part she is liter trained. It's kind of nice and I get really excited when she actually uses it.

I LOVE MY PUPPY! 

SHOUT OUT! To my Hubby!

MICAH LEROY WIEDERHOLD TURNED 23!!!!!

We had a fun time celebrating Micah's Birthday. It was on Memorial day and so he spent some of it with my extended family and enjoyed himself. They did sing happy birthday to him. We started off celebrating by going to a pet store. If you know Micah he LOVES pets.

All I did to this cat was point at it, and this is
what it did back. I was dying of laughter.

We fell in love with this cute puppy

 We had time to relax then went out to dinner with Micah's family to Texas Roadhouse, Micah's favorite place then a concert at the Scera outside theater, watched our group of the Sing off; Delilah, Vocal Point & Pentatonic's.

Memorial Day

How do you celebrate Memorial Day?

There are so many ways to celebrate and remember.

My extended family, Baird side. We get together and each family has a color.

For example my family wears orange.

Luckily this year it is the IN color. Sadly... Micah and I had to go run to a store before the party to buy orange shirts.

My aunt (auntie is what I call her) picks a cemetery where family is and we learn the history.

Who doesn't love learning facts about your ancestors?

While we were learning all these facts I got a HORRIBLE burn.

But being with family was priceless. ;)

Micah and I really enjoyed ourselves, and even on Micah's Birthday.

We had a BBQ lunch and sang songs of our family (my Auntie is just that cool) and recognize all the good our family including cousin's children's accomplishments.

After all the fun and the closing prayer my Uncle game another Uncle who has cancer, a very sweet tender blessing. It was awesome everyone got to participate.

Grandpa, Uncle Lonnie & Cousin Matt

My niece Josie had me take this picture of her, this is not a
relative but she thought it was a cool set-up. I totally
agreed it was so awesome. I wish I got to know this couple.

That is what I ate at the Baird Party. YUMMY

Great Grandchildren with grandma & grandpa

Lake Powell

This last week we got invited to go to Lake Powell. (thank you Lindsay and Kris)

Micah tried to surprise me.. but it really didn't work out.

We had so much fun in the sun, with great company and food.

My family... we know how to vacation. ;)

Stella on enjoying a boat ride :)

I loved the clouds on the way home, had to take a picture.

Thank you again Lindsay and Kris it was nice to have a relaxing weekend!

After our Sunday drive home we went to McKenzie's house to make salad's for a Baird family party. And I just have to mention. MCKAY MANNING DOESN'T STOP GROWING. He is only one inch shorter than me..... Can you believe it? He is 10 years younger than me. I'm 5'7" & McKay is 5'6"!
