Happy Easter!

We had a great weekend filled with lots of Easter celebrations. Hayden hasn't eaten much candy, and I'm not too concerned! We also were blessed with nice weather, which Hayden enjoyed more than the candy. He just loves being able to play outside, and I'm happy that he is finally getting to.

Saturday we went to Grandma Sandmon's and played all day with Jessica. They play so well together and were little giggle monsters! They play some the things they did when they were little. Jessica pushes Hayden on the bike, Hayden pushes Jessica on the bike. They've always do this! I got a few pictures, shocking i know!

Sunday after church that was performed by the Bishop we went to my mom's and spend the afternoon there eating yummy food and looking at lots of pictures, very nice and low key! That doesn't happen very often.

Here is my April 2009 album including this weekends pictures!

We've had so much fun redecorating Hayden's (and now Carson's) room! We loved Hayden's room before we decorated it, its so much more fun to decorate kids rooms, you can get away with so much more! I could do so many more rooms, I have lots of ideas!

We started with a bright blue shade(Handsome Hue), that I bought to match the valances I bought. I wanted this expensive crib set but thought it was foolish to spend that much, so I bought some accessories and did it that way. Everything matches Hayden's bedding too. Then we painted different colored circles on the wall. Set up the crib and wow it looks nice!

We still have to hang up the pictures, shelves and hooks! But I thought I'd share!

I finally got our computer issues worked out so i can blog again!!!

Our trip was wonderful and so eventful! We were blessed with great weather almost the whole time and so many fun things to do! We visited Silver Dollar City(Twice) which is an amusement park. Hayden liked the Roller Coaster the first day and the Tea Cups with Papa the second day. I couldn't enjoy the rides much due the fact I'm giving birth in a month! But found a wonderful Strawberry and Cream smoothie to keep me happy both days! We ran into a performer who was original from Superior, actually from 7th and 16th. Small world! There was so much to do at Silver Dollar City besides rides. They have glassblowers, blacksmiths, candy makers etc. It was a very neat place and a great place to spend some time outside basking in the sun!

We went to a couple shows too! The Showboat Branson Belle and Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede both were dinner shows. We had a couple disappointments at each show but it didn't stop us from enjoying them! Hayden really liked the "talking dogs" on the Branson Belle as did all of us!

We also went and saw a water and fire show(3 times!), went shopping at a 5 and dime store, went to the College of the Ozarks(Which is way awesome, students don't pay for their school, they work it off), played outside quite a few times, threw rocks in Table Rock Lake, and so much more! I thought I'd put up all the albums from our trip for sure though!

Here we are sitting at almost 9 at night and the weather is still in the 70's! We have been super lucky! I even got a little sun burnt. Branson is a wonderful place!! We are enjoying our "villa" at the Horizon's resort. They have activities for the kids, puzzles, games, pools, pool table, fooseball etc. I am sure I'll write more in detail but so far its only Monday by the way we've done:

That is just a quick list! As we are heading out again!!!!
Enjoy your week!

Hayden has "Mulluscum", yes it was the word scum in it. Its a virus of the skin much like chicken pox or warts and what do i have to do to get rid of it? Pop the little pimpley things until the virus pops out, bath him and then put iodine on him. Sounds like fun. Now I just have to find a way to make him sit still for that long!

Jason and I having been discussing painting. And by painting we basically mean every room in the house. The bathroon for sure(just white, whew), the Kitchen(just the ceiling and one of the colors needs touchup, the guy at Menards gave me the wrong kind of paint for kitchens and so grease sticks out like a sore thumb), and then our room, the boys room and the living room. And we are so at a lose to what color to paint them. The boys room has somethings known about it. I want it match the new curtains i bought, Haydens bedding and Carson's bedding. So Jason and I went to Menards to buy paint and all i came home with was this:
I think i am going with the middle color on the sample with three. We are going to do a few circles with the colors of the curtains so all the colors tie in, i think!
