Update: Mark your calendars, Hayden's 3rd Birthday party is going to be January 5, 2008!

Its almost Halloween! Hayden is going to be a dragon, he will roar for you if you want! He knows to knock and say "Trick or Treat" and then of course "Thank You". Wednesday is going to come very slowly i think!

We hit up a Halloween party on Saturday at my church. My cousin did everything and it was wonderful! She should throw kids parties! Hayden had fun and even got to dance the Chicken Dance. It was a good day!

We stayed the night on Friday in Stillwater with my mom and dad. We had a fun little day trip to the area. It was so pretty the deep, dark reds and gold leaves on the trees in the river valley! We stop in Shell Lake and saw a museum full of wood carved figures depicting Bible stories. It was amazing, the sheep actually looked fuzzy even though they were wood! The old(senile?) lady who runs the place could not get out of her head that Hayden was a boy. He was "Little Girl" or "She" or "Her" even though my mom politely told her otherwise. We couldn't even get offended we just had to keep from laughing. It was almost like she was mocking us! Super Funny!

We carved pumpkins today! Hayden painted his. They are all very great jack o lanterns!

Happy Halloween!

Well October is almost over, already! We can't believe it. It rained ALL week here except for today, saturday. Jason was off and was able to go out in the woods with his dad and work on deer stands. We had Kaitlin's 11th birthday. Then we went out to Amnicon Park and i snapped lots of pictures! The light was kind of funky so i didn't get a ton but oh well! We also bought Pumpkins today at the Farmers Market! We'll carve them up soon!!!!

This week i worked at Cooper in addition to working at SHS. IT was neat to see how the library works at that level. Its actually very different. I think i really like working at the high school even more now. But the Kindergartners are SO cute. I wanted to take them home with me!

The week didn't really bring much excitement, only Hayden being in Time out, a few times. Hayden's newest favorite sport is jumping on my furniture. Hmmm, not cool. So he jumps, he gets time outs! He'll learn soon! Also the kid doesn't sleep. Yuck! Anyone who knows Jason knows he needs his sleep! Daddy was a little crabby this week!

We had lots of fun at Jessica's house last weekend. It was gorgeous out and Hayden was able to play outside in the yard. Jessica pushed him in her swing, her favorite thing to do with Hayden. They also played Traffic Jam in Jessica's Little Tikes cars. They are very cute too! We, me, Smith, and Hayden stayed at a Hotel and then went shopping on Sunday at the Albertville Outlet Mall. I scored a few good deals at the Gap(both of them!) Also cute pajamas for Christmas at Carters. It was a fun quick weekend getaway! Poor Jason had to work!

Next week i only work 3 days! Yeah. Not sure what we are going to do yet but something! Like CLEAN! Ha. OH well! I of course of some cute pictures of my little man! Who is getting a quite large personality. Funny as heck. He tries to make us laugh, and succeeds. The things he comes up with. We love him! Enjoy! A Cute little video of Hayden and Jessica and her big wipe out!

Lovely fall Weekend

We enjoyed a grand autumn weekend today and yesterday. We spent the beautiful day down in the Cities playing outside at Jessica's house. I was able to take a few pictures of the cuties. We had so much fun! I hopefully will post a longer post later with details, but i am tired! Just pics for now!

Fun in the Fall!

Wow! What a busy weekend! Hayden was lucky enough to go to the Apple Fest on Thursday with my mom and dad. He had his first piece of Apple Pie! Yum. And went on a ride that went "rounding, round." (his words!) We had a beautiful day that day and Jason got a few rounds of golf in. I stayed at home and read! I am addicted to another series of books. But sadly i am on the last one right now. Its actually a young adult book called "Twilight", "New Moon", and "Eclipse". Very good!

Friday, Jason and I went out with his friend, Nate. I can't even remember the last time we went out. We had fun. Went bar hopping and even went to the casino. It was great to see him. He is going into the Air Force on Tuesday. Best Wishes to him!

Saturday we went to the Boo at the Zoo with Auntie Nah and Jessica. Jessica was cute and ever! Sporting a new haircut too, i think. She didn't have to much to say but she and Hayden were expert Trick or Treaters. We were really glad they called us! We also had lunch with two completely comatose 2 year olds! It was actually amusing. Jessica was like a zombie, Hayden was completely out.

Today, we went to Taylor's Falls. It was HOT! Yeah!!! We went on a river boat ride. It had Paddles, Hayden liked these! It was gorgeous, warm, and perfect! I love the fall too! I even stole a few leaves from a park! We had supper in Luck. Hayden was zonked out. But luckily i ordered him his favorite, Corn Muffins. Which he enjoyed after his nap.

I keep forgetting to update on the Potty Training. I think i am safe to say he is 90% trained. Today and Yesterday he only went on the potty. Boy, can he hold it too! The whole time at the zoo, lunch and his nap he didn't go. He was dry! Yeah for him. I can't remember the last dirty diaper i changed either. He is wearing pull ups, out and about. But i haven't had a wet one all week, and he had been wearing his little undies to Angies and hasn't had any accidents. Yeah! Its great!

I can't believe that week flew by. But on to another! Have a great week. Enjoy some pictures from today.
