Easter

We spent Easter Sunday at Mom's house.  Hayden was able to hunt eggs with his cousin Molly.  They also got to play on the water slide.  They had a ball.  It was so nice to just relax and be with family.  We are so blessed.  Also, we dyed eggs the day before and Hayden wasn't that much into it.  Maybe next year.

Sweet cousins

They loved the waterslide

Hayden's Easter Party

Hayden's teacher had an Easter party for both of the 2 year old classes at her parent's house.  It turned out really nice.  They had 2 jumpers there and plenty of eggs to hunt.  Hayden had a ball.  He even decided to get on a golf cart and press the gas pedal.  Don't you know I was beyond mortified.  Thank goodness he didn't hurt anyone or anything.  Guess I will have to get used to this with two boys.  Here are some pics:

Checking out all of his eggs.

Hayden's Class, hard to try to get them all to look. 



Out and About in April

April was a busy month for us.  Hayden had his art show at school (they display art from each class).  We went on a trip to the zoo and also had some pictures done of Hayden.  He has grown up so much these last few months.  It is hard to believe he will be a big brother soon. 

Saying Cheese in front of his Artwork.

Love these two handsome guys!

Sweet little guy!

Love Hayden's smile here and there's baby Cohen.

Reading a book

This is one of my favorites!

Jake is 8!

We went to Bossier about 3 weeks ago for Jake's 8th birthday party.  It seems like yesterday that he was born.  Time flies too fast.  He had a skating party and had many friends and family members there.  Hayden had a ball watching all of the skaters and also playing with the pool table.  Here are a few pics of his party.

Washington DC to visit Pap & Granna

 I was scheduled to go to DC at the end of March for work, so I decided to bring Hayden along to visit Pap & Granna.  We went a few days early to get in a day of sightseeing.  Hayden did great on the airplane ride.  Although, I did have to bring a binky with us.  He has not had his binky since about mid January.  I told him it was just for on the plane.  He did great and hasn't asked for it since.  Thank goodness!  He also did well riding on the metro and the double decker bus tour.  We had a very good time with Pap & Granna. 

First ride on the Metro!

At the Capital

The White House

The blocks were his favorite toy at Pap & Granna's house.

He also had a great time coloring.

Passed out on the airplane.

St. Patrick's Day and other fun times in March.

March has been pretty good so far, Cohen and I are both healthy and well.  Hayden is a ton of fun and all over the place.  It is so nice to enjoy the beautiful weather outside.  He has started to say, "no" a good bit.  I have been trying to be patient, but he does not listen to Mommy as well as Daddy.  He sure does like to test me.  He has had many visits to the corner.  Other than that, he is such a good kid and I know this is just a phase he is going through.  He has been going to the potty and wearing his pullups.  He will go when we put him on the potty, but still hasn't figured out when to tell us he has to go.  At least we are making some progress.  It would be great if he is out of diapers before Cohen arrives.  Keeping my fingers crossed on this one.  We have only had one person come look at the house.  Doesn't seem to be any interest.  I am not stressing, because I know God has a plan for us.  We have a roof over our heads and a healthy family.  Hard to complain about that.  Since we have the storage unit, we have more room now.  Ryan and I started a couples bible study for lent with my cousin Ashley's church.  It has gone really well so far.  The study is on how to read the bible.  Ryan and I have already learned more about reading the bible and have enjoyed this time together.  We are feeling very grateful these days.

St. Patrick's Day cutie!

He decided he wanted to wear his dress shoes around the house.

At the park, playing with Dad.

This is one of my favorite videos of Hayden singing "Amazing Grace".  We sing this every night before bed, that is why it is dark and you cannot see him, but the sweet voice is wonderful.

Fun at the Mardi Gras parade.

Say "Cheeeese"

Baby Cohen

 I went by CLIC yesterday and was able to get another little peak at baby Cohen. He was much more photogenic this time. It is still amazing to see your little blessing moving around inside of you. I can't wait to see what he looks like and to just hold and love on him.

Already love this sweet face.

Looks like he is praying.  Sweet little boy.

Look at that thigh!

Had to throw this sweet picture of Mr. Hayden.  He was in such a good mood the other morning.  I love this little smile.  It just melts my heart.
