Our little guy has turned three years old!! He finally understood that his birthday would be a day where he got presents and boy did he tell us what he wanted. Everytime we were at the store he found the different items that he wanted for his birthday and insisted that his is what he wanted! On his list were Spencer and toby (thomas characters), a buzz action figure, misty island rescue items, mack truck from cars, a pillow pet and anything that looked at all interesting to him. Weeks of him giving us ideas made him think that "today" (meaning everyday) would be his birthday.
Finally the day came, we were in cedar for a baby blessing and decided we might as
well have a little family party to celebrate.
With Coleton and Joleens birthday being so close together we had a combined birthday party. All of the family got together for dinner and had a great time!
After dinner, we blew out candles and opened some presents. I made the birthday cake this year and who knew it would cause so many problems! While looking up cake ideas, my computer got infected with many viruses and now i no longer have that computer. What was sad is all of our picture files were on there so will see how that all works out but the birthday cake idead did not work out as planned so i did a simpler version. Coleton was so excited for the gifts that he was not at all interested in eating cake so we let him head right in to open the gifts.
Most of them were thomas the tank engine items and he was thrilled
Grandma Wiser gave him thomas bubbles,
and grandma Comstock got him more track and Spencer.
Brandon and I got him a little bike we found at D. I
but when we loaded it in the car the training wheel got smashed :( So that was really sad because it was really cute and he was super excited for it.
We also for months had been looking for a Buzz lightyear action figure
because he really wanted on and four days before his birthday we found one at DI
but in our excitement we didnt hide it very well and Coleton saw it before we left the store so he got it a little early but still was so excited! After our little family party we headed back home. Since we all got together on Sunday and his birthday wasnt really tell tuesday, On tuesday there was a present waiting for him from
his Grandma so right before bed we open his last present! He had been hoping for a toby and....
It was toby! He was so excited!! We opened it up for him and he hopped in bed and with his little puppy flashlight that he keeps in his bed he sat and looked at toby for hours it was really cute to see him so excited! All in all it was a great birthday!

Brandon always imagined wrestling with the boys and now that the two boys are old enough and understand it enough, they have a lot of fun! Coleton knows all the moves pushing him over, sitting on Brandons stomach and jumping, and pretty much body slamming him.
Hayden being so young, but still wanting to be part of the fun, he normally will just sit on Brandons head and bounce while Coleton takes care of the rest! 
Though i am very grateful to sit this one out, it is fun to watch them play!
Brandon being the brave man that he is decided it was the night to break the habit so we gradually got him off of his pacifier at nights, then days, then naps! It was quite the experience and we thought he was not taking it well because he was up screaming at nights, not sleeping, and was really grumpy during the day but after a trip to the Doctors office we found out that he had a really bad ear infection and because of that his ear drum burst causing the ruff days and nights! Ya it was as bad as it sounds for him and us! Now that we have him on antibiotics boy is he a happy boy and has now been pacie free for little over three weeks!!!
then there is Carson who is almost three. Along with my two everyday i have the five of them. (fridays carson doesnt come and i have Niah who is two years old). 
Brandon has a great job which provides great for our families needs so i am doing this more for extra money for extra things like new glasses, my dental bills, our DI trips, and maybe vacations someday. With five kids here everyday it sure makes for a busy house! 
Thankfully we have a great backyard that they can play in and a little side yard were our sandbox is! By the end of the day i am exausted but things are working out really well! 
With having all of the kids here our family has now gotten the stomach flu and the Hayden got RSV while Coleton got an ear infection. So when i only have my two it is remarkably easier!! 
I am definately not worried to have a third (though i am not pregnant) because i am already able to handle five kids under the age of four years!
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???
come 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$Ms
so 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!
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.
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.
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!
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).
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!!
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!
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!)
