I'm a little boy!

Reality Check

My two-year-old son called me "poopycheese".

What??

For the record, neither Tom nor I have ever used the words poopy and cheese together.

Time is passing by so quickly- It seems like only yesterday that he was smiling and cooing at me, and I was so proud.

Now, I am just "poopycheese". Reality check, indeed.

The Many Days of Christmas

Wow, it has been a little while since I have blogged, and meanwhile, we have been busy little elves!! We have been to so many Christmas parties/get togethers, and had such a wonderful time. The halls are decked and the Christmas songs are playing. Hayden's favorite is "Grandma got ran over by a reindeer". You really don't know how obnoxious that song is until you hear it 14 times in a row. But he thinks it is so funny. He likes to change the words to "Grandma fell off the couch". That is a very long story...

Here are a few photos from the past few weeks of Christmas fun. The season is SO much better with little kids around, they remind you how magic it really is!


Hayden's new carousel given to him by his great aunt Sandra-It is very popular with all the little kids!



Tom and Hayden putting the star on top of the tree. He loves to look at all of the ornaments, and is so good about not touching this year. Guess next year we will start over with that!



Hayden got a new ornament this year- a Little Einstein's Rocket. It has never touched the tree, and he sleeps with it every night. He calls it "ornament rocket", not to be confused with "mama" or "baby" rocket. He has only asked Santa for two things- a John Deere (gator) and a new rocket-both of which are under the tree (so to speak). The rocket collection is sort of a part of the family now.



A smile only given for gummy worms-he doesn't like the camera, which is such a shame because he is a cutie when he wants to be!



my favorite, which only happened because he got so tired of me telling him to smile that he laid down on the floor, sighed, and gave me a dirty look. I think it turned out pretty darn cute!



Hayden at the Alliance Christmas party, decorating gingerbread men. He even made a special cookie for Daddy! He has made several ornaments over the week and went to a birthday party for Jesus, complete with a birthday cake and "Happy Birthday" song. So cute to see the boys sing that song for Jesus!



Hayden and the boys with their balloons-that was a wild room to be in!

It's a baby BOY!

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward."
Psalm 127:3


Well, Hayden is getting his wish-he is going to have a little brother! He has been so sure from the beginning that I am going to have a boy. When I told him tonight it's a boy, he said "good". As if I was telling him he was having a pb sandwich for dinner!

Anyway, little boys are so fun! We are so excited to begin planning for our new little monkey- or maybe that nickname will be reserved just for H-man. Yes, I think I will come up with a new animal for this one, Hayden will always be my little "monkey" (won't his future girlfriends think it's adorable?)
