25!!

Wednesday was my birthday and as usual, Paul spoiled me! He kept asking me what I wanted and I reminded him that the "Just A Pinch" action set he bought me a month ago was my gift. I woke up to my camera set up on a tripod! I seriously stood there for like 30 seconds in shock! I told Paul too bad our camera doesn't have a motion sensor cause that would have been a classic picture. He made me a delicious breakfast of French Toast with strawberries and home made whip cream. After breakfast he pulled out another present! I couldn't believe it. A camera bag! I needed one so bad. For dinner we got pizza and a movie and after it got dark we set up the tripod outside and drew with sparklers.

Paul's attempt. He forgot he was supposed to write backwards!

My attempt....

Hayden playing...

I told Paul I wanted a party, mostly because friends that we don't see very often were in town and it was a good excuse to get together. So Friday Clint and Tiffany were so wonderful to lend their house to us for a few hours. It was so fun. Someone ordered pizza and everyone brought some sort of goodies! My homemade ice cream was a hit! It was such a fun night! A special thanks to Clint and Tiffany for letting us borrow their home! Love you guys!

snake

Came home Saturday to find this little guy roaming the backyard. Luckily he's a good snake and we decided he can stay. We've been finding a lot of mouse holes lately and he's a good thing to have around. Sugar wasn't so sure about it though. But as it slithered away into the back of the yard, she barked and barked as if she was trying to convince it to stay!

Easter

My sister came over Friday with her kids and we had a BBQ and colored eggs. Then of course we had an easter egg hunt.

Hayden and I had another hunt with Taryn and her kids on Saturday.... Hayden was more interested in all the toys there and even threw and egg off of a car so he could ride it! Sunday was relaxing, Paul's parents came down and surprised us when they popped up during church. We just ate lunch and hung out then they had to go home. I was planning a Ham dinner, but I had a headache all day so that didn't happen. It was a good day though.

Circus!

The circus came to town! Since Paul was out of town, he said I should take Hayden. I didn't think it was worth the money, but since Hayden is 2 he was free, so it ended up being cheaper than I thought it would.

The best part of the whole show.... the lion and tigers!

The hula hoop girl

The trapeze lady

They had some other stuff too but these were the best acts! If I go to the circus again, I'm going to make sure its a bigger one, one with Elephants!! But Hayden had fun, so that's what counts!

Student of the Year ceremony

Wednesday was the Student of the Year ceremony. We looked at the program and saw that Nursing was like the 5th department to be awarded. That was nice because Hayden did not want to sit still, much less even be there. Before the thing even started I was wandering around with him. Yeah.... we left right after Paul received his award.

Poopy in the potty

*****WARNING! THIS POST IS ABOUT POOP********

sorry if its gross to you!

I haven't started potty training Hayden but ever since he saw Carsten going potty, he wants to try and go a few times a day. Either that or he just likes getting his diaper off so he can run around naked for a while... Well today after church Hayden wanted to go potty so I took him thinking he just sit there a minute and want down like he usually does. Well he sat there a minute and wanted his diaper on. I knew he needed to poop because at church he tried a few times with no luck. I told him to pretend the toilet was his diaper and to push hard and listen for a plop sound. So we sang a few songs and he had me leave for a while then I came back and sang a while longer. Pretty soon we heard a plop! And a few more plops!! Then a BIG plop! He even went potty too! After that big plop he said all done and had a HUGE smile on his face! After he was all cleaned up, we told daddy and daddy got him a treat! There was lots of "GOOD JOB's!!" and high fives! I was so proud of him!!!
