Family Pic

Here is a family pic from this weekend.....minus my daddy...he had to take the picture!!! Enjoy!! Oh yes...Even Riley posed!

What a great week!!

I can officially say we had a great week!!! It's so fun to see Hayden grow and become a young boy. Although I do miss those moments of being able to rock him as a baby, I am enjoying being able to converse with him and laugh at his great personality. My parents like to tell me I am raising an actor. As we have now hit the 2 year old mark we are learning to make some changes in how we are doing things. At the time the adjustments are pretty rough but we are starting to figure things out and things are getting a little smoother. One fun thing he is starting to do is put a couple of words together.....this evening he said, "bye PaPa," and he said "bye NaNaw." We weren't sure what he would call my mom but I guess he chose NaNaw!

Last weekend we able to go visit some friends of ours who live on the other side of Dallas. We had a great visit. Hayden got to drive a real tractor (riding lawnmower) and swim in the lake with his regular clothes on!! Thanks Adam and Rachel for having us out to your home!!



This past Monday we went to a Fort Worth Cats game (minor league) so we have a few pics that captured the event! Hayden and his friend Jordan got to run around the bases after the game! We have proof!


This weekend Joey and I (actually more so me) managed to triple book ourselves. My mother-in-law and I got tickets to go to the Beth Moore Simulcast together this weekend. I did not check my schedule very well because we were throwing a community pool party at the apartment complex at the same time, and last was to run an errand that would be a little hard with Hayden. God had everything planned out though. My parents decided to spend their 34th wedding anniversary in Fort Worth. This allowed Hayden to have some quality time with them and his new little cousin, Mason. This also allowed for me to renewed this weekend by hearing a message from Beth Moore AND we had a great turnout for our pool party and all 17 pizzas were gobbled up. Praise God for his planning this weekend!! I will have pics coming of our visit with my parents this weekend!

Last but not least.....Hayden is sleeping in a big boy bed. I thought this transition was going to be a rough so I just haven't decided to attempt it. While my mother-in-law was here she had put him down for one of his naps and she laid him in his big boy bed. He had no problem going to bed!!! Praise God! Since then he has gone down just fine for bedtime and naps. He looks so cute cause he his soo small and his bed seems so big!! BYE BYE Crib!!!

Hayden is now 2!!!

We had Hayden's Birthday party this past weekend in Longview. We wanted for Hayden's Great Grandparents to attend his birthday and since they don't travel much anymore...we brought the party to all of them!! We had a great weekend and Hayden was spoiled rotten!! We are thankful that our parents allowed us to do this party at their home. We had a great time and we know Hayden did as well. Thank you to all that came to the party. It meant a lot to us that you could take time out to celebrate Hayden turning two!!! Enjoy the pics!!!

Now we know!!!

I have a little update on our little guy.........Now we know that Hayden is officially allergic to Peanut Butter. He got into the kitchen (at a friends house during Bible study) and reached up on the counter and grabbed a peanut butter cookie. I wasn't sure weather to stay or not cause we weren't sure if him getting sick about 1 1/2 months ago was due to peanut butter or heat. Well after about 30 minutes of him running around he ended up throwing up right in front of me. I felt awful cause it was on my friend's couch and floor. He then sneezed off and on for about 20 more minutes and is back to himself. But now we know.....Peanut Butter will be out of the question for Hayden. Sad day! Joey was saddened this happened because him and I both like to eat PB & J sandwiches. We still will...just won't show Hayden. Love you all!!!!
