Happy Birthday Hayden!

Today my baby turned 4, only he's not my baby anymore, he's my FOUR YEAR OLD! It honestly makes me want to cry how fast time has gone by. Hayden is such a character! Super shy when you first meet him but boy you better watch out once he gets to know you! He is such a sweetheart and such a great big brother. We love him SO MUCH!

Montana, "The Last Best Place"

While i was in San Diego my dad and i decided that it would be fun to surprise my mom for her birthday with a visit from us. Boy was she surprised, she had no idea we were coming! It was a short trip, about 3 days all together but SO worth it. While Hayden hung out with my dad ALL DAY OUTSIDE, my mom & I sewed up a storm! My mom & dad bought this place about 9yrs ago i think and added on like crazy. They even added a detached garage/work shop/guest house above. With my dad's woodworking skills and my moms killer interior design skills, they have made quite a home there! This first picture is of the view from the quest house balcony (one of the 3 balcony's)

Hayden's favorite part of the guest house...the mountain lion!

This is what is looks like from the outside, plus papa & Hayden on the quad

Hayden loved the stream, Papa even caught him by it alone trying to cross the logs! dangerous considering how fast it moves and how deep it gets in certain spots!

Riding the quad across the stream

Callin loved the little jumperoo my parents have there. when he wasnt sleeping, he was jumpin.

Hayden had fun telling me where to drive

This is a bag that my mom and i made for me to carry all my primary stuff to church in.

Pure contentment

The Best Birthday Ever!

While we were in San Diego visiting, my dad and brother got invited to a birthday party of a client's of theirs. For those of you who don't know what my dad & brother do, they make custom cabinetry for million dollar houses in California. So this birthday we went to was for the clients 5 yr old daughter. At this birthday party they had a HUGE jumping castle, pony rides for all the kids, a petting zoo filled with all kinds of BABY animals, Ben & Jerry's Ice cream vendor, Catered by a really yummy BBQ place, a swimming pool for all the kids to swim in, 2 pinatas, this was a dank party! The kids had so much fun!

San Diego Here We Come!

Last weekend was my little sister's baby shower so i thought it would be fun to take the boys down for a little visit. We decided to go to Sea World one of the days and the kids had a Blast!

They were super excited once we got inside (hence the running!)

Right before the Dolphin show started


Taking a break in front of the Sea World map. Hayden dug the cotton candy! Last time we went we had to force him to try it...what were we thinking!? So this time it was the 1st thing he asked for when we got inside. After begging (& screaming & crying) i finally broke down & bought him some.

We brought our own lunches with us cuz the price of food there is outrageous! This is how they all sat to eat. Too cute!

Hanging out at Papa's house. (What mean mom puts their kid in a doll stroller? It was super funny though)

Hayden & Rylee at the Disney Store in the Mall

The 1st night i was there we had a sleepover with Hayden's cousin Rylee & in the morning Papa took the kiddos (in their pajamas) to McD's and got them breakfast. He called it the "Papa Piggo Platter" These grandkids LOVE their Papa!

A Camping We Will Go

Now that we have two boys, Nate & I decided to take them camping. Its so much fun! Hayden has a ball running around all day and Callin basically sleeps 90% of the time we are there. Here are some pics of our past two adventures.

One Happy Camper!

This was the 1st night of the 1st time we took them & Hayden is way overtired!

Audrey was trying to take a family picture of us and these STUPID bees kept flying around the entire time we were there. If any of you know me I am deathly afraid of bees, i always have been. So Audrey captured a priceless moment of me & the bee.

I went to the dollar store on our way out to get some glow sticks and i saw these cool hats you can make. Well they dont come with directions and Nate & i couldnt figure out how to get the darn things to look like this.

So this is Nate's version of the Glow Cap!

Me & my preggo sista

Not quite sure what he's doin?
