Caught "white" Handed

Little kids always seem to get in to the same things! Coleton always tried to break in to the Nesquick mix which makes sense because it is really sweet but Hayden breaks into....
the flour?!?! I dont understand it?? He loves to eat flour! I have to make sure to put the bins lid on really tight so he cant get to it but i sometimes forget so this is what i find....Though it is really frusturating to see him in it i cant help but laugh when i see this floury grin...As a little side not i was going to mention that Hayden has gotten two back molers recently bring his teeth total to 10! With all those teeth he eats flour???

Happy Valentines Day!

This year for Valentines day, we spent as a family! We were going to try to get a babysitter but we figured the extra cost was not worth it so Brandon took me to a chinese resturant here in Hurricane and we brought the boys with us! They ate free so it worked out well and the food was great! This year, Hurricane has been extra rainy. Since we were not really expecting it we forgot to bring some of the out side toys in to the garage and Brandons baseball mit (that he got like a hundred years ago) was in a bucket that was filled with water and it sitting out there for a few weeks ruined it so for Valentines day i got him a new one so we could continue to play catch!
Thought the day was pretty simple we enjoyed the time together and another wonderful Valentines day together!

Haydens First Birthday!

Haydens Birthday was wonderful! We cant believe he is already one! We had Brandons parents and grandparentscome down for a little party a few days after he turned one. We had a little dinner with Roast, rolls, and salad and then got out the cake! I made his birthday cake this year and i really liked how it turned out! With Coleton potty training, Hayden is always jealous when Coleton gets M$Msso i made it for him and as soon as Hadyen saw it he went nuts, whinning for it! It made it all worth it! After singing and Coleton blowing out the candles. We let Hayden go at his piece of cake and he actually didnt get that messy!? who would have guessed! We opened a few gifts and called it a night!It was a great little party for him and we are glad to have him in our little family!

Haydens Stats

We headed to the doctor for Haydens checkup and they say he is doing great! Here are his stats...

Weight 23 Lbs 52%
Height 30.5 in 71%
HC 19.7 in 100% (its way above the curve!)

They said his head would even out but i think that with him moving (and screaming) they measured him a little bigger then he really is! We are blessed to have a healthy one year old!

Haydens Birthday!

Our little Hayden turns one today, and though we wont be celebrating it til thursday i thought i would still talk about all of the things that i love about our litle guy! Hayden is so different from Coleton and it is amazing to me!
1. Hayden has from the first few weeks he was born, slept through the night. I never worry about waking up with him. From a person that really needs her sleep I am so grateful for that!2. He doesnt have a pacifier anymore and doesnt seem to have anything that he clings to having except maybe me! Without a pacifier to pop in his mouth when he is fussy, i find that he is alot louder then Coleton was.

3. Hayden seems to talk and talk though i dont understand any of it! He babbles all day long and i love it! He says "daddy" almost all day long wondering were he is not realizing he is at work and then the moment he comes home he runs up to him to give him a hug just like Coleton does!
4. His big blue eyes! Everyone talks about his blue eyes but they sure do make him, him!

5. His Crazy hair! I love that his hair grows fast and that he has a lot of it. It makes it so i can gel it up all cute but when he wakes up from a nap it is crazy. I have cut it quite a few times now but i try not to cute it to short becasue his hair line is a bit funny.
6. Hayden thinks hes really funny ;) He thinks its funny to quirm away while i change his diaper, he thinks hes funny by trying to run up to the front of the room while Brandon is teaching Sunday school, he thinks hes funny when he knocks over Brandon while they are wresling. I love that he thinks he is funny becasue he has an adorable laugh when he does it!

7. I love is little pointer finger! It makes my day so much easier! He points to the things he wants so i dont have to play a guessing game each day and he makes cute little faces with that finger. The picture is a bit blurry but i love when he does this.
8. That he has teeth! Coleton got teeth really late so he could not eat anything it seemed! Hayden has seven teeth (the top four and botttom three).

9. I love that he loves Coleton so much!He wants to do everything that Coleton does! It is really sad when Coleton pushes him over or tells him to leave, Hayden gets the saddest face because his feelings were hurt, its so sad but most of the time they are best friends and i absolutely love that!!

Then there are those things that i hope that Hayden will grow out of like...

10. He loves the stairs, but he still is not very good with them luckly there are only five steps becasue he has a tendensy to roll down the steps end over end and land directly on his head! Which i guess isnt really shocking to us because no matter how he falls his head hits first?? Luckly we have not had any major head injuries but i wouldnt be shocked it one happened!
11. Both of my boys love baby dolls and items that are pink! We hope that they both grow out of it but right now any chance they get they will grab the baby dolls!12. Hayden has fallen in love with a little hidding place. He loves to sit in the cabinet and giggle! He thinks its his own little hide out and loves it! 13. his love to play in the toliet water and Coletons potty chair. I dont understand it but man is it a fight to get him out!14. He loves the remote and the phone. He loves to pretend to talk on it but also loves to push redial so call alot of people back (sorry!)

On a more serious note...I love that he is healthy! As i read other peoples blogs and hear other stories i am so grateful that he is a healthy one year old. I thank my Heavenly Father for keeping him safe everyday! The thing that i love most is that he is ours! We are all sealed together and we have him forever what a blessing that is!!

Mini Vacation!

This past weekend, we were able to head up to Salt Lake City alone!! Brandons parents had given us some jazz tickets for Christmas so we were able to go to the Jazz vs Oklahoma Thunder! We left on Friday evening after Brandon got off work. We got the boys ready and dropped them off at Grandmas house and off we went (these outfits the boys got for Christmas from Grandma so we thought if would be the perfect time to have them wear them!)
After dropping the boys off, we decided to drive to Provo for the night! We did not know that there was a dance/cheerleading activity going on and since Brandon wanted to be spontanious we did not schedule anything but we found this amazing room for 40% off and it was awsome!We woke up Saturday morning to no children and a free breakfast buffet that was amazing! We had french toast, fresh fruit, waffles, fresh donuts, bagels, egg McMuffins (made fresh not really McDonals) and milk, yogurt, juice and pretty much everything you could think of! We ate and then went and wandered around Provo, it was great! Then that night we headed to our game. I was super excited to wear some of my new clothes from Christmas and we were off to the game!
We got to the game and of course it was freezing out side the game was warm so we got Brandon a t-shirt (its funny though he has always loved the Jazz and our kids have clothes and blankets of the Jazz Brandon didnt have anything even the right colors!)

The game was fun to go to even though we lost! Brandons been to quite a few games but this was my first so i was excited to see the Jazz dancers and all of the half time show that you dont see on TV! Sunday morning, we woke up early to get back to church since Brandon had to teach and i had YW i was incharge of but the weekend was amazing, it was nice to be able to spend the weekend child free and with the man i love! Thanks Tom and Joleen all of your help!!
