This is a no reason post, just to show off my kiddos! Many pictures!


After naps we like to kick it by the window and be on neighborhood watch, mostly we are looking for Carter across the street to wave to.

I consider myself very loved that Heavenly Father has blessed me with this darling little treat!

Hayden is turning into such a sweet boy, I usually run at night when Dan get home but today I was being ambitious and let Hayden watch a movie while a ran on the treadmill. About 30 minutes in he comes by the door and flashes THE BIGGEST grin, and goes about his business. When I am done, I walk into the hall way to find rice crispy's all over the floor (a lot of them) with a trail leading to the computer and sitting at the desk is his bowl, (which he filled himself) totally full of his rice crispys and Cars playing on the monitor. Is it just my side of the family or does anyone else's kids seem to find the pantry is the place to kick it when mom is not watching!



Hope this puts a smile on your face!

18 Months

using the mirror to brush our teeth

watching cars

Hayden had his 18 month check up, man does he have a hatred for the doctors offices. Surprisingly he did better than other check ups! Check this out, 94% for his head! yeah pretty big noggin! 66% for height and 42% weight. I think all the ear infections took a toll on his weight gain in 6 months he only gained a little over one pound.
Hayden can say a few more words but his favorites are more, beep beep, bowl, shoes and of course cars! He has an obsession with bowls, whenever he has a snack he has to have his bowl to walk around with. He is very into climbing on EVERYTHING possible, he started climbing on the kitchen chairs (the really tall ones) and I found a finger print on the picture of Jesus above the kitchen table the other day! He can open the front door and tries to sneak out to enjoy the warm weather. He likes to do everything himself and doesn't want any help. I can honestly say that I think Hayden could watch the movie "Cars" 24 hours straight and be on top of the world. I have to say over all Hayden is a very sweet lovely boy, but we definitely have our hard times. He is not sweet ALL the time (especially when he wants to get gold fish for dinner!)

It is so amazing to me how different my kids are from each other and how much you learn to love them in such different ways.

Tell me what you think?

So I was reminiscing tonight and looking through old photos from before we moved to Ohio, and first of all I want to say how much I TOTALLY miss my super cute nieces and Corby! Dan and I used to spend so much time with Abbi and loved every minute of it and now I feel like we barely know her! Oh she was a blast! To this day we still laugh about her wanting to put bacon in everything we pretended to cook (thanks to her dad who loved bacon) and how we would play with her "chicken" aka kitchen! When looking at pictures of Corbin, I can't believe how cute he was and his brother Lukie really is his twin. Anyhoo... I saw a couple pictures of Ellie and keep saying, oh my gosh Daniel, this looks like my little girl! I swear Hadley looks so much like Ellie, I couldn't really find a picture that does justice, but tell me if I am just hoping Hadley looks as cute as Ellie! The nose, ears, lips and eyebrows! I wish I had a better picture, but tell me what you think?

Jam, Jam

We had an awesome visit from Jam this last week. She flew into Indy and she and Lori drove out to Ohio to see our fam. I am still going threw sister withdrawls! Having her here makes me realize how much I miss having her around.

Yeah you try to get two little kids to look at the camera at the same time!

Hayden loved seeing Jam, even though he couldn't quite say her name. Jam is SO good with kids, and was so patient with Hayden and helped get the onry out of his pants more than once!

Jam got to meet Hadley and Jam, Lori and Jen got to be there for Hadley's special day. We were able to bless her that Sunday. Dan did a great job. I on the other hand didn't do so well, Hayden was probably the worst he has even been in sacrament I was so ready to send him to nursery that I took ZERO pic's! We will have to do a reenactment, because she looked beautiful in her dress. Lori made Hadley and I matching bracelets! SO cute!

We went to Coco Keys water resort which was a blast! But TOTALLY not worth full price, thank goodness we had discount tickets. Jam was so fun with Hayden and loved helping him swim, She is going to be an awesome mom some day!

Hayden was a little scarred at first and had to hold sis's hand as he walked around to check out the scene.

Lori, Jam and I went a little crazy on the headband making. Here are just a few of the ones we made. But it was really fun and I have gotten many comments on my headbands being out and about! Jam struggled a bit, so she was quickly put on gluegun duty while Lori and I worked in the sweat shop producing the roses!

Jam got her hot gluegun fingers all over my christmas toy! She is so creative and loved playing and cutting out things, she made me some sweet scrapbook pages and she got started on her home made calander, where does she get all her ideas from!??

Of course we had to take them to my new addiction, a hamburger joint in town. I think we all scarfed the burgers! We also went with Lori and Jen to gallory hop, and did some fun window shopping and found some treats for Jamies dog, Tacoma. Time went SO fast, and I wish I could be closer and see my family more often. It is such a treat to have them out here!
