Hayden's Cough

Hope everyone has a GREAT Thanksgiving!!!

Mass Update!

OK, OK - I know we have been remiss in updating the blog - SO, here is an update from the past month! I will try to get a video update soon.

Here are some funny random pictures from September:
Its great to be a Florida Gator!

OK, I know this is a TERRIBLE picture, but Hayden managed to climb into the dryer all on his own when I was putting away clothes - he was just SO proud of himself!

Hayden decided he wanted to wear Mommy's shorts - silly boy!

Hayden playing at his new table

Hayden with the boots and water bottle that Pam and Sam gave him - he LOVES those!


In September we also went to the Keller Wild West Fest - here are some pictures of Hayden enjoying the day.




Then last weekend we participated in a 17 mile bike 'race' that our neighbors Sam and Pam organized to benefit a local charity. They did a great job and had a great turnout!

Here we are getting ready for the big event.

Riding up to the start of the race.

And here is Hayden after the first two miles - he was tired from all the pedaling!

Here we are enjoying the first rest station that Pam was running - Yay Parrot Heads! (the only thing missing was the margaritas!)

YAY! We made it! Here we are at the finish line!!

Colorado Trip

A couple of weekends ago, Hayden and I ventured up to Colorado for a long weekend at Great G-ma and Great Papa's house. Hayden is a great little traveler (even with the remnants of an ear infection that almost kept us home). He fell asleep just as the plane pushed back from the gate, and woke up just as we were ready to exit the plane - wish I could sleep like that on flights!

Anyway, we had a great time and here are some photo highlights of the trip.

Hayden 'riding' Great G-ma's exercise bike - I will really give him creativity points for use of exercise equipment.

Playing with Great-Papa's hat - it was so cool!

We ventured out to the Denver zoo - it has been YEARS since I've been there! It really is an amazing zoo - Hayden had such a great time!

Here he is ready to get in and see the animals.

I remember playing on these Ox when I was a kid - so it was so neat to be able to get a picture of Hayden playing with them too!

Hayden monkeying around

Hayden had more fun playing in the laundry basket, it was great fun when Papa drug him around.

Studying with great concentration the globe, planning our next big vacation I think ;-)

Here is a little video clip of Hayden playing with the laundry basket, and his new creative use for the globe.

Hayden's Chores

Several folks have been asking me to post video of Hayden doing his "chores" (they may be self assigned chores, he's still helping :-)
Here is a short video of Hayden helping pick up the dog's food bowls and holders and moving them to the garage for storage. He's such a helpful little boy - at least for now ;-)

Random Pictures

I've been so bad about updating the blog I thought I would go through and post some random pictures from the last month.

Here's Hayden already asking to take the car - they grow up so fast!

All dressed up, isn't he cute??

Tucking himself in after a hard day of play.

Silly Daddy! That Binky is mine!

Yummy banana!

Hayden and his head wear... Yes, the diaper, I know he will grow to HATE this picture!

Strike a pose - he loves these silly boots - they are about 4 sizes too big, but he just loves clomping around the house in them.

He's already a dare devil - I'm so scared!

OK, terrible picture - but Hayden in his very first swim class! He graduated with honors (OK, the honors part is my embellishing but he did great!)

Hayden Video

OK, I know it has been WAY too long since my last post - so I thought I would make up for it with a little video. I'm sorry, it's a little longer than I had meant for, but I hope you will hang in there to watch to the end. You will need to endure about 3 minutes, of Hayden antics and cuteness :-)
