bird, pig?

no just the regular flu.... it's going to be a crappy week for me.

procrastination to get things done

there's nothing like procrastinating doing a paper to get the X box fixed. paul had a paper to write the other day, but of course he didn't want to start it, so he registered the X box instead and we are going to send it in soon!

lost, stolen? No, just forgotten

A few days ago I was outside pulling hayden around in his wagon and I decided to take some pictures. Well after I was done I set the camera on the hood of paul's truck. Forgot about it and now its probably in some random passer-by's hands. I just hope they are enjoying the adorable pictures of my sweet hayden in his wagon. Yes we did go looking for it, but so many people go running and such down my street so its long gone. I guess we needed a new one anyway.... any suggestions?

beans beans the magical fruit

Thursday Tiffany was so kind as to show me how to can some beans using a pressure cooker. It sure takes a long time but it is well worth it!! I'd have pictures but well.... see next post. So thank you so much Tiffany, I am very grateful!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!!! Hayden turned 1 today! Yesterday we had a party for him at the park.







Lots of awesome gifts!



The frosting fell off before he got it so it made for easier clean up. He sure loved his cake!






Grandma and Grandpa Clites came into town last night around 7 and they brought Hayden Lightning McQueen!! He pushes it all over the place and loves to press all the buttons!

Thank you everyone for coming and for the awesome gifts, he loves them all!!

Some things Hayden loves:

Pushing things around and walking behind them, or crawling if its short, like a toy of his.

Pulling up onto my legs when I'm cooking or washing dishes.

Sneaking into Jason's room and exploring.

Being on the lap of the person on the computer.

Pulling all of the movies out of the drawers and throwing them.

Crawling real fast to get to the refrigerator before it closes.

Opening the cupboards and playing with its contents.

Eating Geber Graduates cheese puff things.

Nursery (we are leaders)

Playing peek a boo from behind the couch.

Horsey rides on my back.

Being outside.

screaming random sounds.

Oh we love our Hayden!! I can't believe its already been a year!

Tickle those ivory keys

Hayden loves the piano. He will just sit up there for 10 minutes or more just pounding away.

Taryn let me borrow a little walking toy. He pushes this thing all over the house! He can turn really well and will just go and go.

sock monkey

Yesterday I made a sock monkey. I found directions a while ago and thought it was such a cute idea so I found some socks at WM and got sewing. The socks were up to the knee so it has some long limbs!

I found the directions at http://www.craftbits.com/project/sock-monkey

happy sewing!
