We had a fantastic Christmas! We hope you did too. We celebrated many ways. Christmas Eve with the Moe Family, Christmas Day morning with my Mom and Dad, Christmas Day Afternoon with Jason's Mom and Dad plus the 3 other celebrations earlier in the month. Carson loves his present Santa brought him, The Leapfrog Learn and Groove Table. This has so many rave reviews from Moms on some of my daily visited websites and boy were they right! He is even pulling himself up on the table already to play with it. Hayden has been asking non stop to play one of his new videogames, but is loving his new Basketball Hoop and all the new games he received, we've been playing all sorts of games. Hayden gave him a pretty ring and Jason gave me Pearls! It was so much fun this year, Hayden really enjoyed everything and Carson loved the wrapping paper and bows....he would crawl to the bows from just about anywhere, especially the sparkly ones!
Hayden celebrate with 2 cakes(Smith made him one with green frosting! Papa bought him one with Green Sprinkles) He even received a couple birthday presents, an AirHog Switchblade from Smith and Papa and Gator Golf from us. We are having his big party on Jan 31st with Sliding and Skating again, apparently this is the only way to celebrate his birthday in his mind!
On Saturday we went to Brainerd with my mom and dad for a little vacation(Hayden told us it was the best vacation ever!) We enjoyed the waterpark, cookie decorating, playing in the arcade and other Brainerd musts, like eating pie at the Barn. On the way home we drove past an awesome light display in Sawyer(like 35 minutes from home), check out the link! We also got a super flat tire, but made it to the Holiday/Mcdonalds by Spirit Mountain and then Jason came and rescued us. We love that boy!
We now are resting, trying to find room for all the new toys(there is a ton!) and cleaning up all the boxes.
Happy New Year! Cheers to a great 2010!

Hayden you've become quite the little man. Your personality is much bigger than your body. You are amazingly smart and "your brain tells" you so much as you put it. Each day you amaze us with another fact or accomplishment we didn't know you were capable of doing. You love to count and math. You count to 100 ALL the time, if its shooting baskets in the house or just stuff you are always counting. You recently want to know about money and are learning all about quarters, pennies etc. You love your Shooting Stars Preschool with Mrs Starry at the Y. You play in the gym and show of your basketball skills! You are in the highest swimming class in your preschool and do well. Mommy was shocked that they taught you how to dive...you are still working on that skill! You still love to "snuggle" and lay with us in bed. You still use your "fringies" and love Rudolph(any time of the year) and Diego. Your imaginations is amazing and always doing things with Diego and Alicia. You like hats, milk, Reese's peanut butter cups, basketball, being outside, shoveling, swimming, baths, showers, waffles, golf, Wii and so much more. You look forward to Mondays with Papa Smith and love getting sprinkle doughnuts with Papa Moe. Green is your favorite color. You wear size 5 in pants and 5/6 in shirts. You weigh the same as you did last year! But have grown taller...you go see Dr. Maria in 4 days. You are a sports nut! Always playing golf, or basketball, or anything with a ball. You really want to learn how to play hockey and Mommy will sure try to teach you this winter. You love your brother and are a huge helper. You can always make him smile. You are always concerned about him crying and love to feed him puffs. You are daddy's buddy. You are also in Mommy's opinion is double...personality wise for sure! You are two peas in a pod. You do different things with Mommy. We've cooked, baked, played computer games, and let me dress you in all my funny outfits...and of course take lots and lots of pictures of you. You have beautiful eyes, eyelashes and curls!

What a week! I can't believe Friday is here already.
For Hayden's party i never did really recap very well. The weather was in the 30's and 40's, so nice. I even went without a jacket for a while. We had a total of about 47 people though out the day. Everyone was at least up at the sledding hill if not on it! Its great fun watching adults go down the hill, too bad i couldn't see them on Monday morning trying to get up! We had no injured either, whew. Hayden got to try out skating for the first time. He did pretty good, he fell down a lot but didn't get discouraged, which is what I was most worried about. He really wants to play Hockey, but I told him that he needs to learn to skate first. When we finally came inside Hayden was wet down to his undies, thats wet. He received so many nice gifts! He's having a blast with all of them.
Sunday for the Super Bowl Hayden and I got ditched! But we sat at home and played games and puzzles. We did have the game on in the background. We also went with my Mom and Dad to Barnes for a little drive.
This week has been busy with lots of little things. I've been tired at night and going to bed around 9:30 and 10:30, but it feels so good!
This weekend we have the first of the Weddings for the year. My cousin Katy's wedding is on
Saturday night. Hayden is going to dance with his Nana, and he is wearing his "work shoes" for dancing.
Weather is suppose to be nice again this weekend. I hope everyone enjoys!

**I am bumping this up to the top until Hayden's Birthday Party! We are really enjoying hearing your thoughts!!!!! Keep them coming!
All is well here on the baby front. Baby is 96% nothing wrong, just has a lemony shaped head! His nickname will be Lemon =) As always he was very stubborn on Monday and Mommy got poked and prodded with the ultrasound wand and boy was she sore afterwards. I thought I'd have bruises all over but I don't. He also wasn't very willing to show off his face but very open to showing us his boy parts! I think i have more pictures of those than anything else! Silly little guy! We also have his first name set! But middle name is another story! Oh well we have a while left to figure that out.
Hayden has been a busy little bee lately. I think he still has Christmas pumping through him. He has been sleeping very well and long too! He also knows most of his constants sounds! Again I can't take full credit for this, as we started working on them and he just knew most of them. vowels are hard for him, but I still have to think about them too! We are pretty pumped because we really wanted to start working on reading this summer and think we might be almost there!
Hayden is having a Skating and Sledding Birthday party on Jan. 31st too! We will have the house open and have stuff at the Warming shack across the street. It will be an all day affair from Noon until dark! Hopefully it wouldn't be too cold! Look for your invitations soon! They are being printed today, hopefully correctly this time! Oops Mommy mistake!
I thought maybe we could have a little contest with our Baby's name! Put your thoughts under the comments section and if we have a winner how about a free McCafe from Jason's McDonalds? They are yummy!
I'll give some hints.
**40% of all boys names end in the letter N. As in HaydeN and JasoN and BrandoN.
**The most common first letter on the 100 Most Popular baby names is C, reoccurring 12 out of the 100 times!
We'll give it until Hayden's Birthday party!

We had a fun, fun weekend! We celebrated Jessica's birthday party down at her house on Saturday. I have a TON of pictures! Its weird to me that they are both already 4. Where does time go? Hayden and I were looking at pictures and it seemed like just yesterday they were totting around. It was cold this weekend so we didn't get to go sledding, but this weekend we will! Cold or not! As of right now the weather for sunday is suppose to be 32, which really isn't that bad!!!Hayden got his first makeover this weekend, by Miss Jessica. He loved it! LOL. He did think it was pretty cool. Sunday I had a wedding shower for my cousin Katy who is getting married in 2 weeks. I have so many weddings this year! This is just the first one, but I'm excited and it should be fun. Jason also is getting fitted for his tux for Jon's wedding this week and Kenny's. He is very excited to be wearing "coral" for Jon's wedding. Too funny. Also our baby countdown is down to 2 digits! 99 days, crazy.
Enjoy the pics! More updates this week! Can't wait to see everyone at the Party on Saturday!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas, we did! Hayden is now officially 4! He is making sure we all know how to act and talk like a 4 year old. (You Don't talk to a kid like that, I'm only 4!, When you were 4 you were naughty too!) Christmas a very long few days. Hayden got so much stuff. We have been building, coloring, putting in batteries etc.
He also had his 4 year well child appointment. Doctor Maria loves Hayden! She was there the night he was born and always remembers he is a Christmas Baby. She was impressed by him(aren't we all!!!) and said she thought Preschool wouldn't really be necessary except the social aspect so only 1 or 2 days a week, part time. I agree with her! He is the perfect size of your average 5 year old. Last year he was the perfect size of your average 4 year old, so i guess he is staying on track. She said not to worry about his size because his BMI was fine. Hayden and Dr. Maria carried on a nice conversation about him, his daily activities and so on. It was really cute to listen to him talk to another adult.
This week Hayden got his first pair of Ice Skates, he unfortunately haven't been able to take him yet, its cold! He is very excited and just wants to go. My friend Sarah is up from Arizona so we have been spending time with her and Breckin, so much fun! I bought out Old Navy's Maternity clearance at .97 a piece. Jason has been working a lot lately but has the next couple days off. We are going Ice Fishing on Thursday(I've never been!) and doing something else on Friday as a family.
In Baby news this little guy has been a mover and shaker. I am excited to see him again on Tuesday. Jason and I have some names narrowed down that we both like! Emery is one of them but we think we have one that might stick and not sharing yet! But middle name suggestions are welcomed!
Have a Happy New Year! Our plans are pretty nonexistent! Oh well we don't care! =)

Merry Christmas!
We are a very excited household as Christmas is a very big time of the year. Hayden wakes up daily and asks if today is the day Santa is coming. I can finally tell him yes its today! We've already celebrated 2 of our 5 christmas get together. Both we very fun with yummy food and seeing family we've haven't seen in a while. Jason and I got a new Wii game that is silly and fun and has induced a lot of laughs lately. Hayden was a wiseman in our Nativity play and did a very good job, and took it seriously.
Hayden is thinking he has already turned 4. We had a small party for him and since then, he is 4! I celebrated my birthday on Sunday. We have a cake ready to bring to the Christmas parties. Its all so exciting. I finally finished wrapping presents last night, as thats something I hate to do and usually Jason does it but he had some work to do.
We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

All of sudden Christmas is here.
We got our tree last week. Hayden loves turning off all the lights and just sitting and watching it in the dark. I use to do this at my mom and dad's house growing up. I'd wake up in the middle of the night and just look at the tree. Ours could be like 2 feet higher since we have 10 or 12 foot ceilings in the house. But I will not complain!
We haven't had to much excitement around here yet. Just getting ready for the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year". Hayden does has a big of an obsession with Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. Good thing Santa knows, I have a feeling Hayden will be getting a singing, one for Christmas. Hayden sings the Rudolph song and I need to get it on tape, its really to cute.
Jason's store is getting the new McCafe in the coming days. The store has gone a huge remodel to accommodate the equipment and is looking rough at the moment, but just wait cheap lattes are worth it!
We are having a small birthday party with Grandparents and Great Grandparents this week. We are planning on having a BIG party in Jan. or Feb.. We are going to have a sledding/skating party, since we live just across the street from the park and warming shack. It should be fun. We are just trying to decide if it will be to cold in Jan. But since its been so cold this month maybe it will be a little warmer next.
I haven't been able to take many pictures lately. I am so sad. But hopefully today we can get outside to do that. I miss it!!!

Today Jason is 25! A whole quarter of a century! What an old man. We celebrated with a party on Saturday. We gave him his gift which was a very nice laptop, if i do say so myself. My mom and dad and Jason's mom and dad all went in with me to buy it for him. He is VERY excited about it. It has XP professional on it, which means Microsoft Office. For those who have big deal but those who don't have it you may know our excitement about it. My mom made a homemade cake that Hayden couldn't wait to get his fingers into! Happy Birthday Jason! We Love You Lots!

Wow how fast a week goes by? We had a very busy week and weekend. I think i will do it from Sunday to whenever i can remember! First off we both have colds and haven't been sleeping very well the past 3 nights so i am thinking its going to be a very long day at work today! Hayden is also VERY clingy to me this past week. I call him my shadow. He wants to sleep with me go and do anything with me. Its kind of weird. I don't think he has been sleeping in his own bed more then a couple hours each night. Okay back to last week!
Sunday: Hayden, RaeAnn and myself stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Coon Rapids. Hayden woke up early for me and he insisted we go have breakfast right away. Then we swam for a little while, well mostly sat in the hot tub but he was okay with that "it feels good". We then went to Toys R Us and bought some food for his kitchen set. Play food has gotten so cool! We bought a pizza set and it all Velcro's together. They had sets that were all like that. Then we drove home. Hayden sleeping until Hinckley. Then it was home to play for a little while and then we drove to Smith's house to see Daddy and watch the football games. And that's all i will say about football games! Except at Packer half time we went to my mom's house and ate yummy appetizers and packer cupcakes made by Emily and Brittany.
Friday/Saturday: We drove to the cities and stayed Friday night at Lisa and Nick's house. We woke up BRIGHT and early to the nasty cold weather and went to ELMO! Live at the Target center. We did this last year too! The kids seem to really enjoy it! We pit stopped at Starbuck's on the way to the show and Hayden and Jessica chimed in that they wanted something. So we ordered them Kiddie Hot Chocolates. Hayden did not like his which i thought was weird but i have figured out that with his cold sweets don't taste good to him, he didn't like the cupcakes and didn't like Jessica's birthday cake or ice cream. Okay so after the show it was time for Jessica's birthday party(Saturday was her actually birthday! Happy Birthday Jessica!). She got lots of neat gifts and yummy food. Hayden holed himself up with her kitchen set. He did not feel good at all for Jessica's party. We also went swimming on Saturday night it was so nice to sit in a hot tub when it was -200 degrees out! We ate at Mcdonalds for supper that night "Not my daddy's Mcdonalds but another Mcdonalds"
Okay the rest of the week. He had way to much fun at Angie's house this week and did not want to leave! Ben has that probably too she must need to be more mean! On Thursday i started working as "Call Staff" at WITC in their LRC(library!) I will work every thursday morning from 8 until i go to work at the high school. Its really calm there, very weird. I caught on fast since i have been working in libraries since Jan 2000. Jason has been working his butt off. They are expecting their SOR(surprise inspection thingie!) sometime before Feb 7. SO he is basically working 6 day weeks 9+ hours a day which means he will really deserve our trip to Texas! I don't know if i put that on here yet. But Jason, Hayden, Mike and Raeann and me are going to visit Michael and Laura in the beginning of Feb. We are driving! It will be fine i am sure it just better be at least 55 when we are there! Okay i'll post pics in a while! Have a good week!

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!

Another busy weekend came to an end, sad. OH well its back to work today! Hayden's birthday parties are next weekend so i have been busy, busy, busy. I also have been planning Sarah's baby shower taking place next month. She found out last week she is having a boy. We both thought she was having a girl, we were wrong. But she is happy and can't wait to be a mommy in May. I love planning parties!
Hayden has gone just about 2 weeks without the Buffy. He is doing good still asks for it and is sucking on EVERYTHING. Fingers, mittens, jacket, shirt collar, shirt sleeve, his fringes, etc. I hope it stops soon, gross. I am proud of him for doing so good.
I don't have any new pictures of Hayden. I have been working on a photo board for his parties. Its weird! I will have some i am sure by the end of the week. Have a great week!

Christmas is over? Boy does it fly by. My computer is having some issues lately and i couldnt sign on to the blog for two days it was driving me nuts! We had a great christmas getting way to much. I got a new black coat which i am in love with, even Jason really likes it! He got Wii games, golf stuff and a basketball hoop. Hayden got everything! A bike from Santa, Camera, lots of Diego stuff, tools, uber cute sweater from my mom. Now all we need is a LOT of batteries!
My baby is 3! We sang, he sang, lots of people sang! He did very well. It was a long day but we did it! I made sure to tell him Happy Birthday first before all the Merry Christmas. The Buffy is gone. Santa brought it to all the babies who needed them. He cried himself to sleep on Christmas, i wasnt to far off either. Jason had to work the next morning and was sleeping when i was up with Hayden sobbing until 1 am, i was in Hayden's room thinking bad thoughts about Jason! But come the morning he said he heard him and felt bad too. So i took back all the bad things! Sorry Jason. He was fine yesterday and we'll see how today goes. I am the one who needs to be strong.
We have been playing games at night with either Sarah and Casey or Emily and Aaron. I forgot how much i love to play games. We've been having fun. We haven't even really had time to play all our new Wii games. I did try my new game and it's "Mama's Cook Off" it was fun weird too! We don't play our Wii when Hayden is awake or here so we have very limited time to play, but i HATE video games for kids. Our child will NOT ever get a video game system until he's like 16. Computer is fine, a lot easier for me to monitor the play.
I am going to get some video of Hayden singing and pictures on today so check back! Also i think i am going to change the layout and look of the blog so watch for that! If something doesn't work or you don't like let me know!

New Pics!
Ohhhh we had fun tonight! I went and got his pictures taken at Sears, and boy was he a HAM! The last few times if you remember he was not good, at all, getting one or two pictures and crying. This time he was posing for the lady, who was the same lady i've unsuccessful dealt with in the past. We brought his new golf club and he wore his cute little golf shorts i bought in Milwaukee. He was SUPER cute! They should be ready to view online tomorrow and i'll try to post a link to them. I went in there telling myself just to buy one picture package(9.99), well i didn't! I just had to buy a few! He was super cute.
He went to Angie's today, and he had a really good time. He just continued all night to talk about everyone there. I hate leaving him there because he seems so upset, when i know he just does it all for show. He cries the second i shut the door. I have been listening. It really breaks my heart to leave him for the day when he is crying and carrying on. And that's why i don't send him to day care! Thank god for Angie! Maybe, maybe i'll look into preschools for next year for a day or two a week. I am thinking that when he's 3??
I hope everyone has a great weekend. Happy Birthday to Lola(Laura!). Who Hayden has talked about at least 8 times a day, she painted his big toenail green on Monday, and repeatedly reminds me!
I'll post pics tomorrow!

Ahhhh the Weekend!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! We did. We had lots of fun on Jason's birthday. We went out to dinner with Mike, Rae Ann, Michael and Laura. We went to Timberlodge and it was very yummy!!! Hayden was SUPER good there too! After that they all took Hayden home with them so we could go out with our friends. We had a blast!!! It was so nice to see them.
On Saturday Hayden had 4+ hour nap! He slept the day away. But i should have known something was up because today he is not feeling well. He has had a moderately high fever. He goes away 45 minutes after we give him his "Alli-juice" (click to see a picture!). It's an alligator shaped medicine dispenser, and some where along got named "Alli-juice". So he happily takes his medicine if we call it that! But hopefully he'll be all better tomorrow! He really has no other symptoms other than the fever and being super sleepy!
My cousin is trying to adopt a baby and asked us to find some family photos. I stumbled on this nice picture of "Mum Moe" and Hayden! This was taken on her 85th Birthday! I hope everyone is ready for Easter! Here are just a few pics from Hayden's previous Easters!
