We're Alive

Apparently I've become very bad at updating the site. I've been so crazy with work that I haven't had a chance to really thing about doing it. With many requests, here are some pictures and what we've been up to lately.

Easter pics

Hayden and I (mostly me) dyed eggs for Easter. We had a good time watching them turn colors and then putting stickers on them. Hayden has really picked up his colors well and will gladly tell you what color things are and then go on to make up a story about them. His imagination has really taken off and it's so fun to hear what he has to say. It also shows what he picks up from other conversations around him. Three is definately going to be a trying, but fun age!




Leading up to what the Easter Bunny left him...



Playing with Addison...




Sunny weather







Fishing with Daddy





Hayden loves the idea of fishing but doesn't get the concept of "watch your bobber" or to let us help him cast. He actually hooked me on the back of my shirt because he wasn't listening. At one point, Brian asked him "Hayden, where is your bobber?" Haydens response, "Under the water daddy!" Needless to say he didn't get that fish!

We are having Hayden's 3rd birthday party tomorrow and will have pictures to post after. His birthday isn't until Tuesday but we are excited for the party. We're going to the zoo on his birthday to spend some time with him only. Everyone says that 3 is harder than 2 and I agree! He is very independent and opinionated (gets it honestly) and it's hard to know when to let him vent his frustrations but not act ugly. Parenting is definately getting harder but he's such a great kid!

Thanks for the tip on the chair! I had thought about getting a staple gun but just hadn't taken the plunge. Maybe I should do it now! :)
