Naptime Games

Greg and I spent the say running erands, well actually I dropped Greg off at work (on his day off) and Hayden and I ran errands. When we got home we put Hayden down for a nap, after about 45 minutes I went outside to bring the trash can up (today was trash day) and this is what I find on the way back inside. Hayden's bedroom window is on the front porch.

He got in a bit of trouble for breaking his blinds, but he was just so freakin' cute I had to get it on video. I 'm not exactly sure what he was doing.

Big Day

So today's a big day. It's a holiday in our house. I'm a little nervous about it but hoping we can pull through. What am I talking about? The battle of the blues, UNC vs. Duke! This is the day Greg and I anticipate all year long. This is the game we've been waiting for. So, tomorrow there will be a good post or not one at all.

Besides the game of the year not much has been going on here. Things have been a little crazy at the Fridays lately so Greg has been working a lot. Hayden and I have been hanging out at the house. The weather has been pretty nice so we've been going to the park and taking long walks. He even rode his truck a little bit the other day. He still hasn't gotten the hang of it yet but he's learning. Potty training is still a battle, he has good days and bad days. Some days he's lazier than others but, we are all that way. Hayden has almost learned the entire alphabet! He can say and identify most letters. We've gotten to the letter M. He knows most of his primary colors and can identify a couple shapes. His new obsession is Blues Clues! We aren't sure where that came from but Hayden and Greg like to watch it together. It's so funny to see Hayden yell out "a clue, a clue". I'll have to see if I can get a video of it. (Sorry if I'm rambling)

Greg and I really have a great kid. For the most part he does what he's told and is well behaved. He says please and thank you! He even empties his plate in the trash when he's done. (Greg doesn't even do that!) Yesterday we spent about 2 hours in Walmart, I hadn't been grocery shopping in over 2 weeks so I had a lot to get. He was an angel but it might have a little bit to do with his new friend.

Meet Buzz Lightyear...

Don't mind the Crocs at 8:00 in the morning. Hayden refuses to take them off!

Buzz even takes naps and goes "nite nite" with Hayden!

Until next time....GO HEELS!!!

The Lawrenson Family

A week or so ago I mentioned the Lawrenson family. Nathan is the husband of Tricia who has CF (Cystic Fibrosis). While preparing for a double lung transplant they discovered that she was pregnant. They delivered their daughter, Gwyneth Rose at 24 weeks. She is a little over 3 weeks old and both mother and daughter are doing GREAT! Nathan just announced that as early as Monday Tricia will be placed back on the transplant list. Isn't that Amazing? I do not know this family but they have touched my heart in more ways than one. This family still has a long road ahead of them but I am sure with the power of love and prayer they will get through this. Please continue to pray for them and check out Nathan's blog for some amazing video he posted today! http://cfhusband.blogspot.com/

It's a miracle

Meko finally slept in his dog bed last night. Nana bought him a new bed for Christmas and he has been refusing to sleep in it. He must have gotten tired of me kicking him off the bed last night. Hooray! I have my bed back!!

Just in case...

you didn't know. This is what a 2 year old with an attitude looks like. :)

It's Official

I'm going crazy! All I can think about are Hayden's train tracks. He tears them apart 3,4, sometimes even 5 times a day. Don't get me wrong he plays with them the right way. But, for some reason he gets satisfaction in tearing them apart and putting them back together. The problem, he can't put them back together so I have to. At first I began taking pictures of the finished product but I found that it was harder to look at a sheet of paper and then build. So now I build a different track every time because I can't remember exactly how the first one was. I've gotten pretty good at it. However, I can't stop thinking about how I can make it better. It's become quite and obsession. I catch myself through out the day thinking about these tracks! I even dream about them. It's gotten completely out of hand...I may need professional help!

This is what we started with.
