Labor Day weekend and a visit from Kenna

Dan's sister came to Florida for a week and brought her 2 kiddos. Baby T and Kenna that is 5 (today!) I took hardly any pictures and don't want to fix the ones Dan took (he always takes them sideways and I too lazy to fix them) So here are just some totally random pictures for my whole 3 readers out there!
We hit up Hollywood beach twice, first time did not work out well. It down poured for 45 min while we waited in a garage. The kids went crazy and got soaking wet going in and out of the rain, but after a while of waiting Dan ran in the rain to get the car and pick us up. So that day was a dud. But next time was a success. Kenna loved the beach! Maybe a little too much! Momma was occupied with the baby and she had no floaties with her. It was so fun to she her so excited about the beach and I am so relieved everyone made it home alive!

Why is it that whenever I go anywhere with my kiddos they think its time to eat? They can always find the food!

Kenna crashing through the waves! Whenever Dan and I took her out she was terrified of the sharks and fish in the water. Which made Hayden a little on edge.

Baby T. Oh he looks just like Hayden did. He's got those big eyes and huge eyes brows like the rest of Dan's fam. He was such a good baby. As you can tell Hadley was more than happy to help "baby" out in any way she could.

Kenna and Hayden had alot of fun together. Kenna loved having someone to play with all the time. They would run around shooting dragons everywhere in the house. But Hayden had to bring out the bully in himself and after a few days and was teasing and bugging Kenna like he does his own sister. Kenna did not like it so much. Poor girl!

We went to the keys and fed the tarpoon. Man these fish are huge! Kenna and Hayden were a little hesitant at first to touch the stinky fish, but when Hadley and Dan had no problem they quickly changed their minds.



Some friends recommend a quite little place on the ocean. It was yummy food and relaxed enough to let the kids run free. Kenna is such a cute little girl.

Some times you gotta go straight to the tickling to get a smile for the camera!

While Heather and her fam hit up a glass bottom boat tour, we hit up the snorkeling beach. Let just say these were not like the beaches by our house. Rocky and slimy. Totally grossed me out and the kids were not liking it at all! I wish I would have brought some shoes for them to wear in the water. But it was so cool to see all the neat fish in the water with no waves. I saw massive ones floating along in a school of fish. We took turns going out and watching the kids but Hayden most the time just rode around on your back begging you to go our farther! I hated going out very far so Dan got most the swim time. I guess I get a little anxious.

Got this out for Baby T and I think he sat in it once! Hadley thought it was a wonderful sitting spot.

I took Heather to the splash pad one day and of course took no pic's. But we had lunch and a squirrel came and stole Hayden's sandwich. The kids all got a good laugh and when I realized what was going on a snatched the sandwich back (it was in a plastic bag)

Heather has a love of Waffle House! It was my first experience. of course I am pregnant and ate the food, but I will never go back!

I didn't know what to expect but it was no ihop and my little girl was not in the best of spirits that morning!



what girls is not in love with all kinds of shoes?

My belly's getting big

So here are just some randoms pictures of the last few weeks. I gave Hadley pudding for the first time and it was hilarious! She loved it. She kept opening up her mouth really big and than would say "yummy!"

When Hayden was done I had him undress and I put him on the table while I took his pants to the laundry and came back and he said "look mom, my belly's getting big like Dad!" No mention of my expanding belly.

Cheese for the camera!

Hayden turned 3

Hayden had kept saying "My birthday's coming up mom!" and they day finally arrived. It was a little emotional for me to realize my boy is growing up. We actually had a couple extra girls that week because their parents were on a cruise so it was a crazy, fun week. But I have an awesome friend that came over and watched all three girls along with her boy while I took Hayden to pick his cake and have some one on one time on his birthday. He had a hard time choosing his cake, he is totally into robots, but his heart is still loyal to lighting Mcqueen!

Hayden was checking on his cake about every 5 minutes throughout the day. Weeks leading up to his birthday you would ask him what he wanted for his birthday and we would respond " Cake and ice cream!"

I didn't want to through Hayden a party because of different reasons but very last minute we invited a couple friends over just for cake and ice cream and it worked out great. I of course took no pictures. Hayden blew out his candles before we sang to him, so I light them back up and he had a hard time the second go round. It was more spitting than blowing on the candles!

It was such a special day and he got to have his favorite dinner of burritos. He now has every Mator or lighting mcqueen car that has ever been made! But he loves everyone of them and mom found an awesome super cheap road rug at Ikea that he is now obsessed with (way to go mom!)
Hayden has turned into my jokester.
He is always trying to make jokes and be silly for his sister.
His favorite color is orange.
He is getting SO close to be night potty trained.
He is in love with his firetruck blanket.
Hates putting on his p.j.'s
favorite book is "The naked mole rat gets dressed" and "The grumpy dump truck"
Calls letters "A's" instead of letters
Wants to name is new sister "baby princess"
Loves to play "go fish"
Always turning on the radio and demanding that everyone dance.
And is always taking about how he is going to the airport to go to granpa and gammas house, he can even show you on a map where he lives and where they live!

This kid makes me laugh everyday. Three years has gone by so fast, but it is hard to remember life without my little stinker.
