My Hayden

Hayden is such a busy body that I have to keep new things coming his way. He is now into Dinosaurs. We went to Barns and Noble and he picked out a dinosaur book and animal. He loves loves loves it. Today Robin found 3 dinosaur books from when her boys were little to give to Hayden. She is always taking care of my baby. He is just going to love them when he gets home. I went to Target yesterday (love it) and was looking for some kind of tool set for Hayden. He is always trying to fix things and even went to get his screwbibber(Hayden cant get the D or V out) (screwdriver) and fix my knee the other day. He will tell me I'm going to get my screwbibber or hammer and I'll fix it. So at Target I found a Bob the Builder tool set. Its the whole deal. It comes with a screwdriver, hammer, nuts and bolts, flashlight with batteries, Drill with batteries and 3 drill bits, ruler and goggles just everything that Bob the Builder has. OH my its like he just hit the jackpot. He was so excited. He helped me put it together and played fixing everything in site for 45 min. It's nice to know that when I have something broken I can just call on Hayden and he will come running to fix it. LOL




Last weekend Scott decide to take Hayden and I to Pete's place in McAlester. Its a family restaurant and great Italian food. So we loaded up Saturday about 4 and headed out. Hayden had to have his sunglasses on since Scott had his on. Hayden was such a joy on the way down there. looking out the window and talking up a storm to us. When we got there he was so happy to get out of the car. We had our own private alcove so it was just the 3 of us. They bring everything family style and let me tell you don't eat anything if you are going. Its a lot of food and good too. So the spaghetti was Hayden's favorite and he just ate and ate and ate. He was cute trying to imitate Scott and I and twirl his Spaghetti with his fork. He tried but if his hands went to eat I was OK with it. We left and headed home about 7:45 and Hayden was out after 20 min in the car and slept the whole way home. Once we got home I put him to bed and he was out like a lite. He is such a great little boy.

I DID IT!!!

OK it's all over! I pulled off my High School Reunion and everyone had a great time. We started out at Russell's on Friday night and about 50 people showed up for that. Most people stayed until closing so that was great. Saturday morning we meet at the School for a tour and ended up breaking in to look at it because the tour person never showed up. They all had a great time with that. Then Saturday night we had our big dinner at Quail Creek Country Club. It was a wonderful time. The staff at QC were awesome. They helped me with what ever I needed and stayed until we all left. We had a Mexican dinner and a DJ that played a lot of great music from the 90's. Most people stayed until about 11:30 and then headed to the Dougout. I cleaned up and headed over there as well. After a year and half of planning it was over just like that. Keep an eye out for pictures as soon as I get them back. Now its just wait until 15 years.

My baby boy

So the summer is here and I cant keep Hayden inside. He just loves the out doors. This past weekend I had so much going on that he did not get a nap. Last night he was so tired but I was trying to keep him up so he would sleep all night. Lord knows momma needs her beauty sleep. So we were in the living room on the couch which he has to start there before going to bed. And he got on the floor to the pillow, next think I know he is snoring.



My angel is just too cute. That was about 7:30 last night and he slept until 7:45 this morning when i had to wake him up to go to school. Once he was up he was happy and a great boy this morning.

Here are some other pictures of Hayden. His God-Mother got him a bouncer for his birthday and he loves it. Like I said I can not keep him in the house.

Collage Event Planning

OK so I have been trying to get my small side job started. Its Collage Event Planning and those that know me know that I come from a line of planners in the family. My mother and My Uncle. They are the two that have inspired me to start this. Mom has done such a wonderful job on all the events that she does at home and at the church. My Uncle has pushed me to come up with a name and get my card out there so people will know. So I know the only way to get this to work is word of mouth. So if you know of anyone who needs help with any event please let me know. Check out my Event planning blog at www.collageeventplanning.blogspot.com I have done a scrap book for a friend and pictures are on there. I have done a friends wedding and a dinner party. My church has asked me to assist with a wedding the end of June so I am so excited about that. Please help me get this going and tell everyone that you know.

Kansas City!!!

My vacation was the best! I had so much fun. Scott and I left on Friday May 16th and drove to Overland Park KS. It was about a 4 1/2 hour drive and we left here about 10:30 and arrived at the hotel about 3:45.



Once we got up to the room/suite we wend down to the bar and had a drink. We had dinner reservations at 8pm so we had some time to kill. We got dressed and headed out for Plaza III steak house. It was very very good. Best steak ever. After dinner we walked around the Plaza and window shopped. They were setting up the streets for a festival that was going on that weekend.





Saturday we slept in until about 10:30 (let me tell you I have not slept in that long in years) It felt so good to sleep until I wanted to get up. We got dressed and headed into town for lunch and shopping. We walked around the shopping center and went into a few places. After that we decided to go to the casino. We went to Ameristar casino and had a blast. I lost a total of $5 the whole afternoon. It was so much fun and half the time I had no idea what I was doing. The machine just kept ringing at me so I knew I did something right. :) After the Casino we headed to Jasper's for dinner. Italian food is one of my favorites and It was so good. I bought a cook book from there (yes I know I don't cook but am learning) Scott and I walked around the car dealerships a little and I found my car (at the Mercedes store) OK so I was dreaming on the car I wanted. Then found the Scion XB that I really want it was more up my ally in price then the C Class I wanted.

We came home Sunday afternoon and boy was I ready to get home to my Hayden. When I got to mom and dad's house Hayden was singing in the pool and was happy to see me but wanted to be in the pool instead of get out and hug me. OH well he had a great time with MeMe and PaPa. This was a weekend I needed and could not have gone with better company. Scott and i had so much fun and are going again.

Wacky Week at School

OK so this is that last week of school for St. John's where Hayden goes to daycare. The week started off with Monday: PJ day Tuesday: Character day Wednesday: Wacky Hair day Thursday: Hat day and Friday: Opposite day.

Monday Hayden wore his monkey PJ's
Tuesday Hayden was a muscle man
Wednesday Hayden chose to have purple hair.




OK so I was going to spike his hair anyways and tried to get him to choose blue or green for his hair but he kept saying he wanted Purple hair. SO Purple it was. My angel is so darn cute it does not matter what color hair he has. Tomorrow he is going as (my dad) Papa. He is going to wear his dress shirt, dress pants and a tie. I will slick his hair back like my dad does and the pictures will be up for that as well.

Friday was Opposite day and I thought it was cute to have Hayden dress up like PAPA. It was either that or dress like me. Here are the pictures from His day dressed like PAPA.

Mother's Day 2008

This had to be one of my best Mother's days so far. I have only had 3 so its not many but this year was so much fun. I got up Sunday morning and headed to church early to help my mom with the snacks that she put out. Mom is fantastic when it comes to doing little things like what she did Sunday at church. I stayed with her and helped her with the clean up and then went home. I tried to get Hayden down for a nap but he was not going to take one. I normally lay in bed with him for a while and he goes to sleep but after 30 min (my little nap) I just left and hoped that he would go to sleep. About 5 min after leaving his room I checked on him and found him asleep on the floor. (so cute)

After Hayden's nap we went to mom and dads to leave for RED PIN bowling down in brick town. Leigh, Cash, Zeke, Linda and Lanny joined us as well. We were on two lanes and the boys had a blast. Zeke was wanting to bowl everyone turn! He was so excited when the ball would hit a pin. Hayden was more excited after rolling the ball to see it come back up the ball return. Now those of you who know, I'm the bowler in the family I have been on a bowling league for 5 years and love it! So when Mom suggested going bowling I was all for it.









I have to say that spending time with my family the Wegener's and Henderson's is always so much fun. Thank you all for making this years Mother's day one I will always remember.
