Random Pictures

I swiped my mother in law's camera and found these little gems hiding away on there:

SERIOUSLY! Look at that belly!
Where did all of that chub go???

Wearing Papa's hat, glasses and dog tags, giving his best salute!

I have chocolate on the corner of my mouth...and?

Just goofy!

Snuggling with Grandma

I don't know when this was, but it must have been cold...I can't get over Dallin's rosy cheeks!

Three boys, three goofy faces

Learning to sit all by himself

Starting to fall over...

Found his way into Grandma's cabinet...little stinker!

My Birthday ♥

I just turned 27 on Sunday and I had a wonderful birthday weekend! It started out by going to a swanky restaurant Friday night that we had a gift card to, Saturday morning and afternoon we spent jet skiing on the Intracoastal Waterway and then Saturday night Mike threw me a surprise party!

My super awesome friend, Jean
She has two of the most adorable and fun boys I know!

GROCERY SHOPPING!!!!

Seriously...why was it so difficult when I just had Hayden?

Eating a cracker

Shoved the whole thing in his mouth

Have you ever seen a cuter face?

Picking up Hayden from school :)

Preschool!!!

Florida has a wonderful program called VPK (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten) which is funded by the state. Since there aren't enough spots available in the public schools, they allow private schools to offer VPK.

The school we chose is at a local Baptist church and five other children from our church are going to the same school! Many of our primary kids have gone there. They go from 8:30-11:45 every morning. They play, sing songs, have chapel time, Bible stories, library time and tons of other cool activities. I'm so excited for him!

Hayden was such a big boy! He hardly blinked an eye when I left! Stinker. I was *almost* jealous of the other moms with children that clung and cried! Almost.

Last night before bed, working on his very first homework assignment.

(Just like his mom...putting it off till Sunday night)

The mandatory first day of school picture

I couldn't decide which face I like better, so you get to stare at both :)

Walking in to school, very proud of his poster

Finding his picture and hanging his backpack up.

Sitting down at his table wondering why I'm still here...

I have to admit, I got a little teary eyed as I walked down the hallway leaving my little stink bug at school for the very first time.

Then I got home, put Dallin down for his morning nap and actually did a giddy little dance in my living room, thankful nobody was around to see me :)

First Haircut

This is normally where I would post a fun shaggy little boy sitting in a chair, awaiting mommy to snip the first lock of hair to save in a little baggie, followed by a handsome after picture.

However, I went to a friend's house and Mike took the liberty of buzzing Dallin's head. Without me there. Yes, Mike gave Dallin his very first hair cut. Without me there. Yes, I cried.

Oh well...

Birthday Boy!

Where has the time gone??? I can't believe this little man is already a year old! His actual birthday was August 4th.

Read his birth story HERE.

Baby Shower for Timalee

My sweet friend, Timalee, just had a baby on June 3rd at only 30 weeks gestation. The baby is doing remarkably well and is expected to come home in just a couple of weeks! Last night was her baby shower. I put a lot of effort into it and I am extremely pleased with how it turned out! I had lots of help because so many people just love her!
