BYU vs UTAH

The excitement of the BYU/UTAH game is in the air. There is a lot of trash talking around the office.

Hayden, my true blue son, has made his mark on the blog of a colleague. Check out his site True Blue Cougar

So I went to a RS dinner tonight and upon arriving home Rick told me of a conversation he had with Hayden just before bed. Background note: Hayden is really into learning new words.

Rick: Hayden you need to get your jammies on and get ready for bed ( he was laying on his bed in his undies)
Rick: Get ready for bed!
Rick: Hayden - get your pajamas on!
Hayden: I am too tired. I can't do it by myself.
Rick: Obviously!
Hayden: What does oberlously mean?
Rick: You mean obviously?
Hayden: Yeah

So Rick gave an explanation - its too long to post! Now fast forward an hour -

Hayden: Daddy I have got 3 animals to sleep with. Do you want one of my animals to sleep with?
Rick: No, I already have an animal to sleep with.
Hayden: You do? What animal?
Rick: Mommy!
Hayden: Daddy! Mommy is OBVIOUSLY not an animal!

Guess he learned quick! And I am glad somebody thinks I am an animal...

Some might enjoy this as much as Rick did...

Family Picture Day

We tried to get family pictures a few weeks ago and it was a disaster! Here are a few thing we had to deal with while trying to get the boys to co-operate...

Hayden's First Fieldtrip

So i guess it is safe to say that Hayden likes preschool. Who wouldn't with cool field trips to the FIRE STATION! Rick went too and they got to eat a sack lunch - which was a first for Hayden. I am not sure which he was more excited for - the fieldtrip or the sack lunch. He wanted to pack it at 7 am that morning. It was all I could do to make him wait. He also made sure I knew that DADDY was going with him and not me. I will admit, I was a little bummed. I like fire engines too! The last picture just makes me laugh. Of course all the kids but mine are standing there listening to the fireman explain how the fire truck works. Hayden had to be the one to touch it all and see how much he could climb on. What can I say? He is just like his dad..... ooops I was supposed to put mom - according to Rick. Well he should be typing this. Ha Ha So after it was over I asked him how it was and if he liked it. He said - not really. It was kinda boring. I guess we can cross firefighter off the list.

Carousel Cake

Thanks Gpa Doug for the fun cake for Hayden's birthday. His favorite part was the top. He wanted to wear it like a hat. Joshy's favorite part?
Cookies!!! Frosting!!!SUGAR!!!

BYU vs UCLA

Here are a few pictures of Hayden and I as we were getting ready for the BYU vs UCLA game. We went with Sandi and had a good time. It was loud and we had to stand the whole time because are seats we in the student section so Hayden didn't have as much fun as he does when we sit with grandpa (and the rest of the old folk). The best thing of the day was (as you all know) BYU KILLED UCLA .

"So sad to start pre-school all alone in the world"

So he did it but he wasn't happy about it! He cried for a couple of days before it even started. He said he was going to miss me. Ohhhhh how cute! Once he got there he was fine which seems to be the common story among moms with new pre-schoolers. I wondered if I would be sad or a little bit sentimental about my baby going to school but all I can say is that I am so excited for him to have some new experiences. It is fun to watch him grow up. It is also nice to have an hour or two to spend just with Joshy. I think he is loving having ma ma and da da all to himself!

The Cutest Boys EVER!

I think the shock is finally starting to wear off when I look at Hayden. Who knew he was so handsome under all that hair! I will say that I am not a fan of his current hair style but I don't want it as long as it was before. He told me he needs to keep it short so he can be ready to go on a mission. CUTE! 

quick story - The other day he walked into our room and saw a lighter sitting on Rick's nightstand. Rick was laying on the bed. Hayden picks up the lighter and holds it in front of Rick's face and says, "How many times have I told you, DONT LEAVE THIS WHERE I CAN FIND IT. It is dangerous! "

He is such a smart kid and lots of fun too. Watching the Olympics with him has been very entertaining. He is ready to get a gold medal in every event and can't wait until he is 8 years old so he can watch them again. When we were walking through the church parking lot yesterday he saw the symbol on the trunk of an Audi and said - LOOK it is the Olympics! 

Joshy is loving independence - what 

of it he has. He wants to feed himself 

and walk by himself and get his own food out of the fridge. He can't stand Hayden helping him do anything but it is so cute on the rare occasions that they play together and are laughing. His favorite thing to do is bark like a dog and also say "DADUH, MOMMA, HAHAHAHAHA!" Oh ya and how could I forget - the word  NO !!! Ask him anything and that is his response. He will even shake his head and sometimes give you the evil eye. How can a cute little guy look so mean? I will have to find a picture of it for the next post. It always makes us laugh.
