A New Birthday Tradition

Now that Hayden’s officially three, I thought that it would be neat to start another fun birthday tradition.  Every year we’re going to ask him the same questions and see what his answers are.  It will be neat as he ages to look back and remember what his favorite things were.  This is a great age to start this, because his answers are so funny.

1. What’s your favorite toy?
      My vacuum
2. What’s your favorite snack? 
      Pretzels
3. What’s your favorite movie?
      Donald Duck
4. What’s your favorite place to visit?
      Nana and Papa’s
5. What’s your favorite book?
      Frosty the Snowman
6. What’s your favorite thing for lunch or dinner?
      Chicken and fries
7. What’s your favorite animal?
      Sonic
8. What’s your favorite song?
      The ABC’s
9. What’s your favorite color?
      Red
10. Who’s your best friend?
       Nana
11.  What do you love about preschool?
        Crafts

Hayden's Three!

It's so hard to believe that our baby is three years old. He is such a blessing and will always be our sweet little man full of personality. Hayden had a great birthday this year and was once again spoiled by everyone. It's so wonderful to have so many people in our lives that love Hayden as much as we do. We love you buddy and are so proud of the big boy you've become!

Yes, Ladies, They’re Single

My parents good friend’s gave Hayden money for his birthday so he could pick out some toys that he wanted.  So, yesterday after naptime, my Mom and I took him to Toys R Us and let him pick out two toys.  Out of all the things he could get, he really wanted a vacuum and baby stroller.  Hayden was so excited about both and hasn’t put them down.  It’s been so cute to watch him because he’s really getting into role playing.  Bennet’s been getting in on the stroller fun as well.  Thanks again Don and Judy, Hayden’s loving his new gifts.

This cutie even gets those hard to reach places to make sure it’s extra clean.

Hayden’s giving his buddies a ride in the stroller before bed.

A Tired Little Man

Bennet is now entering a new stage where he has given up his morning nap.  He still has days, though, where he gets so tired that he’s ready to go down for his afternoon nap right after lunch.  Obviously, today, he couldn’t wait;)

Our little man is officially walking and gets so excited when he goes long distances. Here's our sweetie in action.

An End to a Great Valentine’s Day

Well, the day ended well and the boys are now fast asleep.  Hayden had a great day at preschool and got some neat Valentine’s from his friends.  I attempted a new recipe, turkey bolognese, from one of my cookbooks and it wasn’t a winner.  So, we had pizza and cupcakes for dessert, which was perfect.  Hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day, too!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!  I hope you all have had a great day so far.  Our Valentine tradition is to greet the kids with their presents right when they wake up.  So, both boys opened their goodies in bed this morning and were super excited.  Hayden was being such a good big brother and wanted to help Bennet open his. Our big boy is at preschool this morning, so after naptime, we’re going to make cupcakes for Daddy when he comes home. I’ll have to snap a few pics…so more come.  I’m trying a new recipe for all of us tonight as well, so we’ll see if it’s blogworthy or not;)

This little guy would play with books all day.

Hayden helped Bennet with his present from Nana and Papa.  I love the perplexed look on Bennet’s face as the bear makes a kissing noise.

A Valentine surprise from Daddy 

I put them on the couch next to each other, told them to smile and they both immediately stuck their thumbs in their mouths.
