The old school tech deck!

You heard me right. Remember those things? Well, Teagan dug one out of the toys at my parents and knew just what to do with it. Well, he thought...
You can catch a glimpse of it under his bottom.
He was trying so hard to sit on it. After all, it always works on Daddy's skateboard.
Trying something different.
Settled for the real way of riding a skateboard. Maybe just not the right size buddy!
Lets just say I was busting a gut watching this!

A day in the life...

You know it's been one of those days when you look at a vacuum and see layers upon layers of different items! Glad that day was awhile ago :)

New Little Buddy

Although little Carter was Due on Hayden's Birthday, he didn't see the need to come on time. He is just like his Daddy! Heather started the process on Thursday the 10th and had Carter on Friday the 11th! We were all so excited to meet this little guy and I am very grateful I was able to witness the whole experience!
He sure is a cute little guy!

5 Year Anniversary

Remember last year I was hoping for something special for year number 5? Yeah...that didn't happen. Brian scheduled himself to work that night. Brilliant, I know! It wasn't completely intentional. We didn't have much of anything planned so we offered to watch my cousin's kids. We packed up all kiddos, and Kacey, and headed to the pool. We have spent many days there, but only took the camera this once. I don't particularly love lugging the thing around and worrying about it the whole time.












Hayden really enjoys playing with Brinley and Isaac so he had a blast. It was fun to spend the day together and just play. I think we celebrated the whole Anniversary thing that weekend. We will hope to do better next year..or year 10...or year 25...who knows! I love my man anyways!

What a disappointment!

I was severely disappointed to read this on the box of the Ninja Turtle Van that Hayden got for his Birthday...

Guns don't really shoot! Seriously!
Seats 6 comfortable, Phew!

Kind of random, but Hilarious!

Family Party, Superhero Birthday Bash, and Canyon Party

I think Birthday's are a big deal. I love celebrating and it's a great reason to get together. With a small house and lots of people to involve, we break things up a bit. The night before his actual Birthday we met my family and Brian's mom over at Mountain Mikes for some pizza. Hayden loves cheese pizza because the Ninja Turtles eat it. Afterwards, everyone came to our house for some chocolate Dunford donuts and gift opening.




At this point, he is pretending to eat for the picture. He is still a very "light" eater.
How cool is this. It is the Ninja Turtle Van. Not easy to come by. Thanks Trevor and Heather!


This gift was saved from Christmas from my parents cause we all thought he was getting too much. Well, his Birthday wasn't much different. He loved it!

Can't ever get enough of this!

He kept asking for sketchers. I am pretty sure he saw a commercial. He still believes these ones light up when he jumps really hard. Luckily, he believes they do and luckily, my mom knows I don't allow those shoes!
He's real excited about this one...
Favorite Present. Still plays with it daily. It is a "Batcave."
Blurry, but cute. Loves himself a box!

Again, thank heavens for Uncles! I love them too!

For the big #4, we decided on a superhero themed party because that is the new craze around here. I love that boys just naturally love this stuff! It was so much fun. We invited his neighbor friends and of course, his buddy Cooper. Here are some pictures from the day

My brother Jeremy is super talented. He drew some villains for the boys to throw grenade water balloons at!
Playing "pass the krytonite"


Brian worked during the day so I enlisted some help! I seriously could NOT have done it without Mary, Kacey, and Steve! It really does take a village!
Super Teagan checking things out.



That throw went the wrong direction...
Super Steve, he really is a hero around here. He comes to the rescue if Brian is unavailable.

Coops has a hard time sharing his buddy Hayden. So cute! They have always been very protective and possessive.






One kid didn't show up which worked out great for Rosie. I so wish I had made her a pink cape!






I'm no Betty Crocker, but this is my masterpiece...
These two can cause more shenanigans than anyone I know! They are cute little stinkers!

Wonder what he wished for...seriously, I do wonder!
Getting a birthday kiss from his "future wife." This is not an arranged marriage. We maybe jokingly said it once, but he came up with this on his own. You cannot convince this kid there are other fish in the sea. If you even joke about him marrying someone else, he will tell you he is marrying ROSIE! Very loyal man already!




This crime scene is quite frequent. First, you find some pants and then you find...The pants-less child. He loves attention!
Very fitting outfit for the occasion.
We did a little white trash party-after party! Babies-nude, Coop and Hayd-underoos!

Later that evening, we wanted to see some other friends of ours so we headed up the canyon. Brian's work was a disaster and he wasn't going to be able to join us after all. He got things arranged FINALLY and he came with us. I am telling you, we need a new career path!

BarkersThe Yergensens and Kacey

He opened our gifts to him up there.

Group shot.
The SomersClara, Benjamin, Gavin, Me, and Hayden-a goofy Hayden.
The Campbells and Steve. The Campbells live right next door to us on the north side. I am so glad they are nice and mellow. They may not feel the same about us. I hope our walls are soundproof and that the windows aren't too see-through! Haha, sorry!

He really NEEDS a sister. He WANTS one too!

I hope you had a Happy Birthday Hayden!
