Spring Fever!

***Update*** I just can't help feeling like Spring! I changed Hayden's color scheme to Spring Colors, if you have a hard time seeing them let me know, and i'll change them again! Happy Pre-Spring!

**Original Message: I am feeling very springy! It's been SO nice here. I saw my flip-flops and wanted to wear them! But i just thought I'd post a few pictures new and old! Enjoy the beautiful weather!!!!
Hayden's First Spring Break in New Orleans. March 2005.

New Orleans w/Emma down at the riverfront.

Hayden's 2 Spring Break, this picture is at Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC.

The 2nd half of our trip last year, in Charleston at the Beach. Moments after this picture was taken Hayden fell in the ocean! Having to wear the only thing i had with at the moment, his snowsuit!

Sunday, looking so cute in his hat! Playing with his remote control tractor.

Outside in the nice warm weather!

Slacker Mom

So I am an official slacker blogger. Sorry!!! But we have been busy, and nothing really went on this week! On Friday night we went and got Nana from the Airport after Mommy stopped and got some coffee of course. And let Hayden play Thomas at B&N. We were all happy to have her home! Today we go and get Mike and Raeann from the airport. Hayden is going to be excited to see THEM there! He must think everyone but me gets to go through those doors. I can't wait until July when he flies with us to Las Vegas, i think the airplane will be the best thing about the whole trip to him. This week at work its been kinda crazy because we got a HUGE shipment of our spring book order in. I am in charge of them! =) Its fun to get to see all the new books, and we got over 300 i think! Its fun to see the students reaction to them too. They seem excited too about them. Jodie and I think we did a great job picking books out this time. We took just student, teacher requests and replacements. I am just trying to get them all done before break so i have something to read!
Speaking of Spring Break, we are excited about all the fun places that we have seem to have found in Wisconsin. Lots of cool restaurants! Cheese curds, fresh! Custard, which apparently is the "Thing" in Milwaukee. So we are excited. I can't wait to swim with Hayden again to see if he is still a little swimming fish! But we aren't leaving until Sunday sooooo if a pretty little girl comes up to play we are most able too! Friday and Saturday!
Well I hope everyone has a great week! I'll try to update more this week!

Cousin Thomas

Hayden had a very special babysitter today, Cousin Thomas. Hayden has never really had a babysitter come to the house and watch him, besides Emily. So i was really worried. So i told Hayden that Thomas was coming over to watch him. He immediately smiled and said "Thomas the Train!" Oops!!!! But i told him No Cousin Thomas. I showed him Thomas pictures on the computer so he knew the face. Thomas got here and immediately they hit it off. Hayden played and played and played!!! When i got home Hayden was sleeping. When he woke up he cried and cried because Thomas wasn't there! So Thomas can come over when ever!
This week is the week without Grandparents! Mike and Raeann are off to San Diego until Sunday! I hope they are having fun in the sun! My mom is off to New York until Friday! But thank goodness for the my dad who is home and watching Hayden tomorrow!!! =)
I got some super awesome news today. My best friend Sarah, who i love so much, is moving to Arizona in June. She and her fiancee, Casey got teaching jobs and bought a brand new house! Casey starts at the end of the month. As much as i hate to she her move so far away i am so happy for them. But we are going to see them in July when Jason, Hayden, and I go to Las Vegas!!!! Yeah! I am going to go and see her as much as possible!
As for Spring Break, we are going to....................Wisconsin!!!!! It will be fun! We are hitting up a ton of stuff! More details to come!
Have a great week!

Baby Bob

Well we are all shoveled out! Boy did we get snow. We have almost 6 foot high snow drifts and banks in our yard. Jason shoveled shoveled shoveled yesterday. I only did a little bit! Hayden played outside, but he wasnt as fond of it. Too much i think. It was nice to finally get out of the house! I hate being trapped in here! Hayden was a lot of fun these last few days. We sang his new favorite songs, Itsy-bitsy Spider, Twinkle Twinkle, and Nana's Song(you are my sunshine!). We colored, glued, and cut. Fun but messy! And he kept wanting to cut my picture, so we had a Little lesson in hands to our self. He found my old Cabbage Patch doll and walked around with it all day thursday, it was Hayden's baby. We had to be quiet when baby was sleeping and kiss baby and wrap baby up. Baby went on truck rides with Hayden, on Hayden's sit and spin, and shopping around the house in the grocery cart. Baby had fun. I asked him what Baby's name was and he thought for a while about it and then said Lily, ummm no Lily Angie's baby. So i named off a bunch of names and the one liked best was bob, so we have Baby Bob. He is in a lot better mood lately! Yeah for us! He is starting to get better with letter recognition too. If i have clothes on with writing it comes and points out all the letters he knows. Which mainly are H, O, M, E, P, and A. Not many but we are starting. Last summer we were at Lisa and Nick's property and Lisa's friend Sarah and her daughter Sydney were there. Sydney is almost exactly a year older than Hayden and Jessica. But she knew her letters and i was AMAZED! I thought she was a genius! But i think Hayden will be there too by then! We have just keep on working. Today Hayden and I were playing choo-choo trains and i had the great idea of building a hill for the trains! Its fun, Hayden loves to put them down and they fly around the track fast! Wheeeeeeeee Hayden says! I hope everyone is all plowed out and everything! Have a great weekend.
Hayden and Baby Bob out for a ride

Hayden all dressed up and ready to go

Yuck! More Snow!

This weather is horrible! Well i couldn't get Jason to stay at the HIE, but he ventured out to WalMart and bought a bunch of stuff to keep me happy, hopefully for the next few days. The wind off the lake is wicked. I tried to go out and get something out of the car(to which i found the window open! Thank you Jason!!!) But it literally took the breathe out of me. When Jason went out it wasnt snowing only blowing a little bit. He said Walmart was a zoo! But now i haven't seen much go by for about an hour now. At noon they said it wasnt even bad yet just wait! But i am thinking that about 7ish it will be really bad! We gave Hayden a bath and put clean jammies on him, he asked what's this. I've never had him stay in his jammies all day before! So we are stuck in our house until who knows when! We have movies, food, and our super cute son. What more could we ask for!!!
Here's just a winter picture! Hayden first time Sledding.

Oh Yeah! No Buffy Still!!!!!!! It's been over a week!

Snow, Snow, Snow

Well we got hit! I was really starting to doubt the whole blizzard warning last night. But boy is it snowing and blowing! I am going to go insane staying in the house all day. I am trying to convince Jason to rent a room at the Holiday Inn express today and go and spend the day locked in there! I want to go swimming! =) I dont sit well! Hope everyone stays warm and safe! Have a great snow day!
