Hayden

WE did it! We survived 2 birthday parties this weekend. Not as many people showed up as we planned so that really cut down on the stress of too many people in our little house! I am so wounded up from this weekend i can't sleep! And probably the 10 cups of coffee i drank through out the day. I am sure my grammar is going to be horrible but bear with me!

This week was a whirl wind of stuff going on and getting ready. Monday was our normal Monday at Mike and RaeAnn's house. Tuesday Hayden and I got into it during the morning and he was VERY upset when i went to work. He cried and hugged me telling me not to go. He hasn't done this since September, very werid. But Emily watched him during the Day and Auntie Em watched him at night so Mommy and Daddy could actually get some shopping done for the party. Wednesday Jason worked late and we met for dinner at our normal Wednesday place, East End Cafe. $2.19 tacos! Hayden's dinner is the most expensive usually at $2.50 for pancakes, sausage and milk. We go almost every week with my mom and dad. Thursday was cleaning day! Friday was cousin Crystal's 8th birthday and we went over to Big Gram's new house just 2 blocks away for a little party. Saturday we woke up very early and brought Brandon to Basketball and watched his game, breakfast at Mcd's, Hayden's favorite! Pancakes and Sausage, always! Auntie watched Hayden so mommy could run and get food and balloons for the parties. I stopped at Jcpenney's too, they are having some good sales. I bought Jason some nice pants and Jessica's birthday present, which i want for myself. Then Hayden and i came home and worked our hinney's off. We got all ready for the party and had nothing to do for a few hours so Hayden decided to cry, and Cry, and CRY! I had to call Jason at work and beg him to come home because at that time it was time to start making the food. So Jason came home an hour early and took Hay for a car ride which ended in a sleeping birthday boy. I got everything done and then it was 5 and my family all came. It was a nice evening, yummy food and good Curious George cupcakes. Hayden received so many nice gifts both days. A Trike from Uncle Brandon and the Kitchen set from Big Gram might top the list but he has been playing with everything i can't honestly say there isnt anything he didn't like. Sunday's party was just as nice. Football, pizza, cake and playing. Jessica was a cutie she makes me giggle. I remember when i was little and i was bossy, she is a little bossy too at the grown ups but she has nothing on me! I was trying to sleep(She told me to lay down and close my eyes!) and i couldnt physically keep my eyes shut it was funny. She helped Hayden blow out his candle on his Diego cake and sang to him too. I am glad he has her! I am sure this summer those two will be in lots of trouble exploring and playing together. They both are blooming with personality. Hayden was a super chatter box on Sunday. I haven't really seen anything like it before. He just talked and talked and talked. I don't know where he gets that from. I will get a bunch of pictures on here tomorrow. Jessica's birthday is next weekend and we are heading to the cities for her party and for Elmo Live! We are staying at a hotel, Hayden's favorite thing to do. Have a great week everyone!

Okay I lied i am wired and am posting the pictures. Some from Zoo Year's Eve and New Year's Eve. Enjoy!
