So I was told I don't Blog enough. It is true!

So this weekend Jason went turkey hunting, didn't get anything, saw a few and had a good time!

Hayden had soccer. He is the Kiwi Team(in his book, Green) He is very happy. Oh and I'm the Coach. I couldn't handle the fact no one was the Coach, so I stepped up. I have everything organized at the moment and my "lesson" all planned for Tuesday. Like I always say you can find ANYTHING on the Internet, Soccer coaching too.

Carson was sick all weekend, still is. Poor kid has had a fever of 101-104.8. Scared his Mama. Urgent Care was a nice 2.5 hour visit with nothing but telling us he has Tonsillitis. Which of course is a virus. But we saw a very nice Doctor and we were in a room pretty much the whole time, so no germy people around us. As long as he gets his Tylenol or Motrin every 4 hours he is doing okay. Poor baby, his cheeks get SO red. And we've been using the "Sucky" thing frequently. And my does he snore!

Hayden is such a good big brother. He is so concerned about Carson and helps with everything. Thanks Hayden!

I didn't take any pictures this weekend....so I dug a few up! PS Not Edited Pics!

Random Tidbits:

*Hayden makes us laugh more and more everyday. ex. Mommy says "Hayden when did you get that lure?" Hayden responds "Mom, I've had it for YEARS!"
*Hayden wants to be just like his daddy. Last week he got up and picked out his clothes, choosing a striped polo and brown cargo shorts. Basically Jason's unofficial uniform, he always is wearing that in the summer at home.
*Hayden however still wants to snuggle his mom at bedtime and quiet time. Mommy also is the one who still can make owies better.
*Hayden loves to help, especially with his little brother!
*Carson was born on Jason and I's 7 year dating anniversary. Yes we've been together for 7 years!
*Carson was also born on my Grandma and Grandpa Moe's 65 wedding anniversary.
*Carson is so strong for a newborn! He has great control over that little neck of his.
*Carson's newest nickname is "Hot Dog". He looks just like a hot dog when he is naked, long, skinny and nude color! Hopefully Mommy will stop calling him this before he goes to school!
*Hayden and Carson got to see all their Great Grandma's this weekend, at different random times!
*We have the cutest baby bunny living under our shed.
*Video Baby Monitors are the greatest thing ever invented!

Just thought I'd post quick! Not too much is going on these days. Jason and I went to Target last night and figured out what we still need, not a ton, thank goodness for the baby. Hayden has been a hoot lately with his questions, comments and everything in between.

Hayden and I are going on Spring Break with my mom and dad soon. We are heading to Branson, it will be a little shorter than usual but thats okay, I am 8 months pregnant.

Our basement is coming along, thanks to Jason!

**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!

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!!!

We had a very busy weekend! Basically only sleeping at home. Jason hasn't gotten his Buck yet. But Rae Ann did! She got a "Basket 8".(Deer Hunter language) But Jason hasn't give up hope and it will be a long week until he does! He is happily sleeping in today and only going out tonight.
Hayden, Emily and I went Christmas Shopping on Saturday to a very crazy Duluth. The mall was packed as well as TJ Maxx. I bought the cutest baby boy outfit. Its stripped Ralph Lauren summer outfit. We have multiple weddings this summer and if we have a boy this will be his "wedding outfit". I also have the majority of my Christmas shopping done! Yeah for me. We are very into Christmas this year and it really can't get here fast enough. I bought Hayden a cute shirt for Christmas as Gymboree and he wants a tie now, bad, like Daddy wears to work. So i am on the look out for a black or red satin tie!
Sunday Emily and I made a ton of Christmas cookies. Sugar cookies, sprtiz and peanut butter kiss cookies. Like 14 dozen cookies. We are giving half to church for our bazaar in a couple of weeks for the big cookie exchange.
We also went out to The Smith's house each night to have dinner and chat. We got to see Smith's buck too. Hayden wasn't a fan of the yucky stuff inside of it, the blood. But has gotten over it already.
I hope everyone is going to have a Happy Thanksgiving. I'll try to do another post soon! Hayden and I will be out of town this weekend with my Mom and Dad. We are hitting up a play and other fun things down in the Cities.

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!
