Wow!

I have not updated this blog in a LONG time!!  I finally logged in and my page was messed up, so now it is fixed and we are back in business.  So much has happened since my last post.  Hayden turned 2 last month, and baby Shay is due in 8 DAYS!!!!  I can't believe we are about to be a family of four--there are lots of mixed emotions.  Hayden starts Mother's Day Out on Tuesday (the day before the baby is born--probably not great planning on my part--but I know she will love it).  So the count down begins...... Here are some pics from Hayden's second birthday party.......

About to sing Happy Birthday

B-day hugs from Olivia--her BFF

Lunch with Olivia and Angie

Playing in the backyard--we had over 40 people!!!

Here are a few pictures from Easter weekend.  Hayden and I were both a little sick, but we managed to make it to the Easter egg hunt and had a little egg hunt in our backyard.

I promise I will try to get better about posting pictures, but things are about to get pretty crazy.  We can't wait to meet baby Shay....she will be here soon!!

Hayden's Christmas Pictures

My wonderful, beautiful, incredibly talented sister-in-law took pictures last week for our Christmas card.  We are so lucky to have these wonderful pictures of Hayden growing up.  Haley is so, so talented and if anyone needs pictures taken of their kids, family, engagement, etc.....she is awesome!  Here is a link to her photography blog with our little girls pictures!

Backyard Fun

Now that the weather has cooled down, we have been really enjoying the back yard. We put in a playset and Hayden wants to swing at least 3-4 times a day!! Here are some pics of Hayden running around the back yard.....

She likes to smell every flower she sees!

Hugging on Annie!

She loves Bo and is always hugging and kissing him!!

Her favorite chair:

Hot Days of Summer

I took these pictures a while ago when it was soooo hot outside. We got home from Austin on a Sunday afternoon and decided to blow up Hayden's little inflatable pool and let her cool down. To let her cool down even more, we gave her her first popsicle. She loved it!!! and has had several since then. Here is our little cutie enjoying the afternoon in the backyard......

Getting some love from Daddy!

One Crazy Summer.....

To say that we have been busy this summer would be a serious understatement!! We moved into our house at the end of May and have been home only 2 weekends since then!! We have had a blast going to the ranch, to the lake with Johnnie, Angie, and Olivia, going to the lake with the Greesons, going to NYC, going to bachelorette weekends, wedding showers, and baby showers. I have a ton of pictures to upload, but here are a few of our sweet girl when we went down to Austin for Amber's baby shower and stayed at Tami and Kenny's house. They have some land outside of Austin, and it is beautiful there. They have goats, cows, and chickens. Hayden loved seeing all of the animals!!

Hayden has been so silly lately!! She is so ticklish and laughs so hard!!

Hayden's 1st Birthday

I can't believe I am just now posting these!  We celebrated Hayden's first birthday last month...I can't believe how fast a year can fly by.  We still didn't have a house, so a great family friend offered to let us have it at their house.  It worked out perfectly and we are so grateful that Tom and Barbara opened up their beautiful home to us.  We had a big family get-together and ate, went swimming, and just hung out.  When we got there Barbara had the whole house decorated.  It was so sweet and so pretty!  Here are some of the decorations:

We had the party catered with fajitas and Sprinkle's cupcakes.  They are so good, and were definitely a hit.  Here is Hayden enjoying her first Sprinkle's cupcake:

She dug right in:

And then wanted to share with Tom:

Kamdyn enjoyed hers too:
