Hayden plays soccer

Hayden played this fall again in our neighborhood soccer team. He did so good this year. His team won every game and Hayden got a goal or 2 almost every game. He enjoyed playing with his friends, his cousin Karlee and his dad as his coach.






Hayden is hungry for that ball




GOOO Green Knights!!!

The last game this season....

Hayden just scored so he is showing off in his walk...LOL



At the end of the game each kid got a little award and then we had a BBQ with the other team. It was fun and the kids had so much fun this season.


A photographer came to one of the games to take team pictures and here is some of her shots.

Christmas card and Birth Announcement

Our card this year

This year I made these 2 cards and had them printed front and back together to make things easier. So it was our Christmas card and Paxton's birth announcement together. Killed 2 birds with one stone and I am glad they are all mailed out!

Hayden turns 5

Happy Birthday Hayden! I can't believe my first baby is 5. I love my life because you are in it!


Hayden just born and me holding him for the 1st time.

A year later.......


Hayden 5 years old

Paxtons 1 month old

I can't believe Paxton is a month old. It is going by too fast. We just love him so much and have loved having him apart of our family. Everyday I think about how blessed we are that he was lead to our family.

My grandma Morris crotchet him this cocoon so I took some picture of him at one month old. There was so many cute ones I could just pick one.

Hayden's 1st Christmas x2

As I have been Christmas shopping I have been having trouble thinking of what to get for some people. One being Paxton. What do you get a newborn???? Hayden was a newborn around Christmas but he was our 1st child so we got him stuff we knew he would need as he grew. Paxton is kind of set. And we can't just get him nothing because our kids would wonder why Santa didn't bring him anything. As I was thinking of our 1st Christmas with Hayden I thought how he kind of had 2 1st Christmases. One when he was a newborn and one when he just turned one. See the 1st real Christmas he just slept and couldn't enjoy a thing. And his 2nd Christmas it was all new to him and loved it. I uploaded some pictures of those 2 Christmases. Such sweet memories.


A few weeks before Christmas. Karlee and Hayden as newborns and Katelynn 11 months old. The only grandkids at the time, now there is 10!

Hayden's 2nd Christmas (he just turned one)

Santa brought his puppy chair that he still sits in now.

At this age Hayden cried when he was left around anyone. The only people he didn't cry with was Aaron, my mom or I. So even when we sat him next to his cousins he would cry and scream like it was the end of the world. Now he is so social you would never believe he was so scared to be alone with people, even kids.
