Halloween 2010

With my Kiddos being a little older this year Halloween was even funner than years past. We kept busy for sure. I explained everything the best I could to Hayden. What kids doesn't understand free candy? He had blast, and can now pick out a PUN-KIN from a mile a way.

Hayden is definitely in to coloring at this age, so when we went to the store to get a PUN-KIN (you must say it in a high pitched very excited voice) he wouldn't stop talking about "Daddy, home.. color PUN-KIN"

Hadley was having a hard time just kickin it while the boys were painting. She is so busy. Can you see the HUGE drainage ditch behind her??? No?

Well now can you see it??? HA! She went flying backwards and went down the ditch. SO FUNNY. She just grabbed onto the grass and held on for dear life, while mom tried to stop laughing to pick her up.
The finished product...so hot that the paint would melt when you put it on. Oh we went trick or treating in 82%. The seasons are changing but not the weather.

Best shot of his costume

Combined ward Trunk or Treat. Total blast.

Hadley made it about 30 minutes before destroying her outfit and having a huge accident, which she has not done in months! What can you do? P.S. I noticed after the pic's that Dad put her outfit on wrong. What'ev P.P.S. I put the nasty accident diaper in-front of the front wheel of my tire so we could keep enjoying our fun for the moment and when we went to leave and go throw it away, someone had already taken the diaper (it was really nasty) so someone is probably totally pissed and thought I was so rude for trying to leave a dirty diaper in the church parking lot!
Lots of fun costume and fun cars, but Karyn's car, took the cake!
"Havery, nakie" Looking at this picture can you believe how big she is compared to me?

Just some randoms of my baby doll. Who is now crawling (she is much happier mobile) and cruising like a mad lady. She will probably start walking any day now!

Okay I realized I have a lot of picture of Hadley, but this was mostly a Holiday for Hayden this year. He just doesn't like the camera that much. Is it funner for the kids or funner for the parents to see how the kids react to everything. I know long post but one last thing to add. So while making the kids costumes they kinda got ignored. All morning long the TV was on. So after I put Hadley down for a nap I went over to play with Hayden and his cars. His response... "No play mommy!" Then he points up to my sewing machine and says "Mommy, play." apparently mom needed to get back to playing with her own toys!

Baby girl @ 10 months

So we had a rough week and a half. Hadley started teething and apparently had a cold. She was not my baby! I was going nuts. Mom had to be at her sides at all time. Mom had to entertain her at all times. Everything was all out drama. I just keep thinking, it was bound to happy she is a girl. We went into her 9 month appointment and Doc said, "Well, you've got a cold on your hands." K, as a second time mom sometimes I think I know everything. I thought hog wash, she is teething and she gets a running nose when she is teething. A few days later nose clears up and my baby is back. Her big honking teeth are still coming in, but my baby was back! No more wines for no reason, a lot less clinging (this girl loves her momma) and she is back to holding her own when it comes to her brother. Miracle! I know she is a girl and the drama will come, but for now to is for the most part at bay. Also I would like to document that I totally shed tears when her 3rd tooth came in. She has this awesome totally cheesy smile that shows off those bottom teeth that have been there since she was 4 months. I don't want those teeth! I want her to stay the same forever! All things must come to an end....

Hadley is such a tough girl. She is fearless. She gets into EVERYTHING. So SO SOOO busy. It's is impossible for her to hold still even for a moment.

Just recently has she taken a interest in walking. NOOOOO! Tonight Dan put her on the walker and away she went! Look at that focus and determination.

She just goes!

She took my bucket of sugar and was pushing it around the kitchen so she could get to where she wanted. keep in mind, she doesn't even crawl yet. She gets around somehow, but not crawling. Remember she can't hold still. Also I want to say about how much she puts up with her brother, Hayden is so bossy! He won't let her play with any of his toys (or the one he likes the least) and totally is getting the jealous bug. Hadley lets none of it get to her. She steals toys from his hand pounces all over him and puts up with all his wrestling! She is in love with her brother. They still play together, but you can expect some yelling from Hayden "No, Havery!" Oh and Hadley loves a good make out session with anyone that is willing. She goes for the mouth but she will take a cheek or nose.

Got my own card

So Dan always has the nice camera at school with the SD card. Finally Dan got me my own card and I have gone a little crazy with the pictures. Unfortunately all my pictures from my sister Lori's trip here are on Dan's camera at school. So you just get the most recent, but expect an update from her stay.

Hadley had her 9 month check up. She is a 23 1/2 lb bunch of chunks! 96% for this little girl. Tall and wide, that's how we grow'em

Yes this is the back of her head, but check out those cheeks! This one's for you JAM!

I cannot believe how awesome this weather is.... it's Oct and its 80 degrees outside. Perfect for a bike ride. Hayden is getting very demanding about what his sister must do. He was very persistent that "Havery" get on the bike.

Totally impossible to get this kid to eat, but hey.. throw a bowl of salad in his face and he chomps away!




I know its hard to tell with those beautiful garage cans in the background, but this place is gorgeous. Still can't believe I live here. ( COME VISIT ME)

Could not get anyone else to ride the tracker so I took it upon myself. Dan was the one that came up with the idea of adding the rope. Can you image the looks the neighbours were giving me.


Moment to remember. Doing a little grocery shopping and Hayden gets up and starts spinning in circles singing "ice cream, ice cream" over and over again. We were on the milk isle.

Talk about embarrassing

maybe even humiliating......
So as I going into story time today at the library I noticed it was jammed packed in the parking garage. Than I see a sign for career day (the library is at Nova College campus.) So like always I am running behind and trying to hurry and find a parking spot and I kinda went down a wrong way to get a close parking spot. The spot is right there, no one is coming, I am in the clear just have to make this wide turn. I am in the civ dog so no big problem to make a quick turn. So I over shot it a little bit and hit the cement barrier that makes sure you don't run into the wall. Okay yeah that was embarrassing, not that big of deal , I will just back up and be on my way. Oh wait, it wouldn't come off.... that's right I back up and it is stuck under my little civic and I am dragging it away. Okay now all these people are walking by, listening to the cement Scrap SUPER loud on the pavement. I think, if I just pull forward it will come off. NOPE! I thought I was going to die! This thing is stuck to my car and everyone in the entire parking garage can here my idiocy! I get out, kick it a couple of times, it's cement people! I am not super woman! Get back in, pull forward again, back again. Would not budge. After what I swear was an eternity the thing fell off. Some guy was nice enough to move it out of the way so I could move my car. And the lady that came and parked in the spot next to me was nice enough to get out of her car and stand there and stare at me while I went through it all. What would you do in that situation? Would you just get back in your car and go home, or go to story time and have the moms that walked by as it happened stare and point at you while the Miss Megan reads her book. I stayed only to prove a point, what point? I haven't figured it out yet.

P.S. The car was not injured at all (the cement barrier was caught on the plastic under the bumper) and Dan does not know about this, and I am sure when he finds out I will get a huge lecture and feel like even more of an idiot~!

lets see what else is there....

We seriously did so much stuff I am forgetting until I see a picture of it!
Good old Jaxon's ice cream. The ice cream was great but kinda worried about contacting diabetes here.


WOW, only thing to describe it. See that gigantic pile of ice cream in front of Jam, and Mike. Yeah, the one that is bigger than Mikes head. Yeah Hayden ate probably more that half of that. He would NOT slow down or have anything to do with his mom and Dad's ice cream. Thanks you two for sharing AND promoting childhood obesity!

Our death by chocolate. I must say I didn't actually die eating this ice cream, but I did almost have a heart attack when we got the bill!

Don't mess with that face! Ice cream means business!

Deep Sea Fishing

I know kinda slow, but I have a little A.D.D. in me. But we went Deep Sea Fishing. Dan was the only one that caught something in our group, but we still had a great time, and got to see some pretty awesome houses on the Ocean and huge yachts.

Nothing like starting the morning with a cold one......


It was however, blasted hot. So everyone was totally drenched.

These two little love birds, wanted a fish so bad you could smell it.... it smells a lot like B.O.

This is the fish Dan Caught, it was by far the biggest thing they caught that day, but because it wasn't eatable we had to through it back. Mike was so mad that he bit the tail off before they got it back in the water. (okay that was a fib)

Can you see how awesome this thing was, it totally suctioned to the boat. It was so weird and rubbery. Don't know how else to explain it.... like it was from another world.... like the ocean...
