Jason's Pictures from Colorado:

Jason has returned from his trip to Colorado, with no elk, but he still had fun. Its so good to have him home! He brought Hayden home a new remote(grmote) control truck, Hayden is in love! It has lights and blinks and its pretty crazy.
We put Jason to work right away when we got home, my bath tub cracked while he was gone so on Sunday we went to the big home improvement store and bought all the fixings for a new tub. So today Mike and Jason get to install it!!! We discovered our bathroom use to be light blue tile=really ugly! But i am guessing it had a claw foot tub which kinda makes me sad they replaced it with the crappy tub that cracked. Oh well.
On Wednesday is Jason and I's 3rd Wedding Anniversary. I bought him a GPS for his trip(a trail GPS) I guess it did the job because he didnt get lost in the woods! I got the 7th season of Gilmore Girls and something yet to come. Its a "traditional" present Jason said. So its glass, hmmm.
Hayden had a bit of a rough weekend and it included a lot of whining, but i think with things getting back to ordinary that will improve, it better!
Not much on the agenda for this week. We are going to a Twins game this weekend(Hayden and I with my family) so thats exciting!

Blah. Thats how i feel right now! Its been a long, long week without Jason. I just want to sleep! We miss me much. He hasn't shot an Elk yet and has only seen 1(not including the Elk farm that he said may be over taken due to their frustration.) They are having fun though and thats what matters.
Hayden and I enjoyed the day together on Tuesday. It was very nice here for being the middle of September it the mid 70's. We went to Playfront Park, Little Angie's for Lunch(AKA the Other Angies) and shopping in the shops. Then later that night we went Mini golfing, which Hayden has been begging to do for like a month. It was a very nice night. Ohh for supper i grilled, all by myself, i was proud.
I have a new work schedule starting this week and the days seem soooo long. I prefer working with people and I am mostly by myself. I know some people would kill for an hour and half of uninterrupted working time. But I like working with kids. I am sure i'll get more kids in once winter sports start.
Our shopping trip was fun and very fruitful! I bought a ton of stuff for Hayden(Gap had jeans/pants for only $10.00 and Hayden always needs pants) I bought a lettuce knife, bread knife and oh yeah a Coach Purse. It was dirt cheap(well for a Coach purse) and it fits my huge camera so i am happy. It was a little crazy of me, oh well.
Not to much going on this weekend but we'll see i'd love to get some stuff done around here. Check out the Sept. Pics I am planning on adding some more tonight.
Enjoy!
Oh yeah Hayden was having his nightly 5:30 meltdown and wanting to go to my Aunt Dana's house. I told him "No honey Auntie Dana lives to far away" so he said in response "Well just take the GPS then" Apparently our GPS has a special time transport mode helping us get from one place to another in a short time! Always thinking that boy.

So yes i have been a ridiculously bad blogger. But school has started and nobody wants to read me go on and on about how i wish it was still summer. So yup no blogging! Its been actually pretty uneventful and we got right back into the swing of things. Hayden happily going to Angies, loves playing and probably being away from Mommy. Work is work and just the same! Oh well. I did actually get new hours which is okay. I still have been thinking(ok looking) to see what else is out there for jobs, maybe even applying. (maybe drug testing for different jobs) but nothing that i want to switch to yet or even talk about! I will let everybody know. I just don't know. I probably will stick to this until Hayden goes to Kindergarten. We are happy with this situation for the moment. I really am not willing to go Full Time until then. I was listening to the Today show today and heard about little boys and learning and how they don't do very good with sitting down and doing worksheets and stuff. This is SO true with Hayden he learns so much better and gets a lot less frustrated when we just talk to him and teach him by example and seeing. Now I can't do this with everything but a big ol'chalkboard works better than paper for us. I find this interesting and maybe a reason why i will not send Hayden to preschool/4K. I really don't think its for him. He is so smart and loves to learn and asks awesome questions i don't want to loose that on a sheet of paper. Just my thought for Hayden and our next children maybe totally different and i'll be pushing them to preschool at 2 and half. Who knows. He is very into numbers lately(as always actually) and we are learning 24, 30, 54 etc. he is always asking me to tell him the numbers on the clock, i bought him a watch too. But we can't find it at the moment we just hear to beep once an hour, so its here somewhere!
Jason is in Colorado hunting!(Ohh the watch just beeped, speak of the devil)Its kind of lonely but we'll stay busy. I have been running errands in the morning and hanging with Hayden in the evening. Been kinda lazy cleaning the house but who do i have to impress? Hayden? He doesn't care. We have a Cities trip on our agenda and High School Musical the Play! Hayden is equally excited about those my little music loving boy! He LOVES HSM. The 2nd one even more, it has golf.
Well have a great weekend! I'll try to update more!

Its hard to find a place to begin. So much has go on the last week!

Happy Labor Day! This also equals end of summer. Oh well we had a wonderful summer and I can not complain. We went to my Aunt Dana's beautiful Cabin/Hunting Shack overlooking Lake Superior. Great weather, swimming in a relatively warm Lake Superior.

Okay rewind to a week from Saturday. We-My mom, dad, brandon left for the Cities stopping at our annual stop to Askov, MN for the Rutabaga Festival. Had yummy food, kids played and we enjoyed the small town charm. We make it to the Cities stop at Psycho Suzy's (A must!), Restoration Antiques (gorgeous stuff!) and to hotel for a quick swim. Hayden had an allergic reaction to the massive amounts of Chlorine in the pool, his face was all red and blotchy, he kept coughing and his eyes burned for like a half an hour out of the pool. Yikes. But all was well and we headed to Anoka for their bi monthly? Car Show.

Sunday we did the must do thing-Farmers Market. I LOVE the farmers market and am sad about what a crappy one we have up here (and they are way, way over price). Then we hit up Second Debut(Where i got my Coach Wallet) I bought Jessica Simpson ballet flats, cute and practical. Then we went to the shop up the street and both me and my mom bought a few things. Then it was to Wild Rumpus and Creative Kidstuff. I bought some adorable christmas presents for Breckin. Then we rode on the Lake Harriet Trolley. Hayden was in heaven. We even went in a tunnel. We got takeout from Ted Cook's 19th Hole(BBQ) and hit up Minnehaha Park-but we couldn't find it and settled for another park close by. The Kids played and played. We went to Jason and I's hotel and met Jason and Emily who just got down there and went Mini Golfing at Como and had ice cream at Conny's Creamy Cones. Then some swimming with Daddy!

Monday-State Fair Day! Early start at 8:00 and absolutely no traffic into the fairgrounds-bliss. Had a great fair day doing and eating everything! Hayden had fun riding the rides the kid is fearless! We did so much at the fair! We then at like 6 headed to Wisconsin Dells. Stopping at a nice McD's for supper and hitting up our hotel The BlackHawk Motel in the dells. We got to our very retro, good retro motel and enjoyed the in front of our room parking and their pools with waterslides. Nothing fancy but perfect for all of us.

Tuesday-Waterpark Day! Mt. Olympus was quite awesome. They have so much to do. We first did some go carts. Multilevel, pretty fast tracks. It was fun. Then we hit the waterpark-so much fun. Hayden had a blast. He wanted to go on the fastest biggest waterslides. But they have something for everyone. We waterparked until 3ish and then did rollercoasters and more go carts. Jason and Emily left around 6 but we stayed and went on rides inside and out. They have a bunch of little kid rides and big people rides too.

Wednesday-Was Waterpark Day part 2! See above! Much hotter out though and we left for a little while to check into a different hotel and had lunch. We hit up downtown Wisconsin Dells(Skip it! WAY WAY too expensive $14.00 for a pound of Fudge) But we found a way cool New Orleans restaurant where we got Benignets(sp?) French Doughnuts. And we got fresh Cheese Curds.

Thursday-Go home day. But wait first we were going to go to a little circus museum in Baraboo. IT was HUGE and informational. I know nothing about the Circus, now i do. It was cool. They had shows and a carousel and animals and Circus wagons and so much history! It was very neat. We were there until like 5! We had dinner at Paul Bunyans Cook Shanty in the Dells. It was okay, Haywards was MUCH better. We miss it!

Friday- I had Staff Development day. It was good to be back I'll have lots to do tomorrow! Hayden hung out with my Mom and Dad. They took him to the Depot and for a Train Ride. Hmmm little boy heaven!!!!
Saturday-Laundry, Cleaning and haircuts for the boys. Mommy did a little shopping at the mall too!
Sunday-Birthday party for cousin Treavor who turned 4. We set up the large Tent Jason and Mike are taking to Colorado for their hunting trip.

Enjoy the weather only a few weeks until Fall! Its just about here! School is in Session!
