Sorry, Sorry, Sorry

I know, I know, we have been slacking off on the posts, but it has been extremely busy in our household, and it seems the little time Jon and I have to ourselves we want to do nothing but be couch potatoes. Between Jon writing proposals for work and finishing up his training, and me finishing up school, tutoring, and getting up with an either sick or teething baby has been exhausting.

Hayden is a little handful even though I love him with all of my heart. The little guy does not stop until he is ready to hit the sack and go to bed. He hates the car seat with a passion, so long car rides are out of the question, even though we had to go down to Portland for Thanksgiving. He is starting to be a little nicer to the cat and the kids in class, although anything laying on the ground will get trampled because it is in his way of walking. Hayden also started giving kisses, it is the cutest thing, and they really are not that sloppy.

Like I said on Thanksgiving we went down to Portland to be with my step-dad's side of the family. His oldest son asked us over and we accepted because otherwise we would be just by ourselves and would be eating turkey for months to come. Jon finally got to meet the rest of Gary's kids and we got to witness our first holiday with Hayden and a lot of people in the room. Lets just say the poor kid was so stimulated he did not nap all day long and had a rough night at my moms. He didn't want to sleep there, so at 2:00 am Jon and I decided it was time to leave and went home so Hayden could sleep.

We did get all of our Christmas shopping done, which is one less stress off our backs, but we still have Christmas cards, Hayden's birthday invitations (which reminds me if I don't get them out we are going to celebrate his birthday at Chuck E Cheese on December 13 at 1:00 pm), Hayden's one year pictures and family pictures, and decorating for the holidays. As you can see we are pretty busy, but I promise once school is done on the 9th I promise to update pictures and post more often. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, we miss you all!

Late Trick or Treat Blog

I know I was slacking a little on getting a blog up about trick or treating Friday night. I am going to post pictures and a video too!

It was a lot of fun! The night started out rough when we went to our friends house to go trick or treating with their girls. Hayden was crying in the car and we thought it was going to be a rough night. Turns out he was just hungry and once he got a little food in him we were off trick or treating. The temperature was perfect and it was fogged over which made it the perfect Halloween night. Hayden had his own ride in the wagon, which he loved, and his own little bucket. He was too cute, every time we went to the door he would hold out his bucket and when they put candy in it, he would look in his bucket then look back at the person with a look that said "Is that it?" At one house he got a juice box, which was his favorite treat he had got all night. He played with it for most of the night.

Once we got done trick or treating, the girls laid their candy out to trade the ones they don't like. Bad idea because Hayden wanted their candy. We have a video of him mobbing their candy it is pretty funny. Hayden also had his first own bowl of spaghetti. He was a mess, but he loved it! It was a fun Halloween and defiantly a night to remember!
