Cry Baby!!


    So on Saturday we hit the pool! Rob and Jess invited us (OK, so I guess I more invited myself!) to go to Jess' grandma's pool. This is pretty much my favorite summer activity! Their pool is perfect! It is nearby and best of all it's not a public pool! (I really should not go to public pool's because I mostly sit and talk trash on everyone else there, which really is not good for my eternal salvation! And also I don't have to worry about looking like a beached whale in my swim suit, or the fact that my swim suit bottoms are too big and may fall off at any time, because I am with people who have to love me! :) ha ha ha! I guess even family may not appreciate my bottoms giving way!) Any way, Hayden has been swimming a few times and done really well, however, this time did not go as well as I had expected! He was NOT a happy camper! He did eventually calm down for a while but then got fussy again! What a stinker! (The bigger problem I think was really not the water as much as that I had not let him take a nap all day! My bad! So we got out and he finally slept for a while in his stroller and was then in a much better mood but unfortunately we were mostly done swimming by then!) Well hopefully there is always next week to try again! And I will plan better for a nap!

**Thank you so much Rob and Jess!! I love to swim and it is so important to me that I try to share my passion for the water with Hayden and you guys make that possible! We REALLY appreciate it! We always have so much fun, and I honestly look forward to being with you guys all week!! Thanks for being such great friends and family!! We love you guys! (sorry if this is too cheesy!)

Picnic In The Park...




Today some of my family met to have lunch in the park! Both of my cute sisters and their kids (except Carter because he is still in school ) my grandma, my aunt Mel, and one of my cousins and their cute baby, and of course Hayden and I! It was a good time! Not too hot and not too crowded! I am so lucky to have such great sisters and family to spend time with and to teach me about how to be a mom! Not a week goes by I don't call one of my sisters, my mom, or my mother-in-law to ask questions or get advice on what I should do! Anyway...the park was a lot of fun and Hayden and I are looking forward to doing it more regularly all summer!!

hit his head this morning, but he is recovering like a champ.)

Jumpin On The Band Wagon....




Well we are jumping on the blog band wagon! Better late than never right! After blog stocking lots of people and a few close friends constantly leaving nasty comments about me starting a blog of my own I finally decided to do it. My excuse for not doing it before has always been we don't do anything exciting to blog about! which we still don't but the more I thought about it the more I thought it was a good way to stay in touch with family who lives out of town and also a good way to keep a journal (which I am terrible at!)! As I see Hayden growing before my eyes I realize I don't want to forget this time! So here we are blogin! Steve thinks I am a bit silly for doing this so I guess it will be mostly me you get to hear from! I am sure he will come around eventually though! Anyway...Guess this is my first run at a post! Here's to happy bloggin! 

I am going to practice posting a few pictures as well!
