Where Does the Time Go?!

It seems like we have been so busy lately and I have had so much on my mind that I realized that I haven't spent much time with Hayden and I missed him. Even though that I am with him everyday I guess my mind has just been some where else and I don't feel like I have really even seen him. Last night I was laying on his bed with him and was talking to him. The whole time I was thinking "when did he learn that? and oh my gosh how long has he known that?". It made me sad to think I let the time pass me by so quickly just because I am running here and there and always busy doing something at home or just plain mentally exhausted from work. All of that stuff is so not worth my precious time that I have with my family. It made me realize that I need to slow down and quit sweating the small stuff and just go with the flow of life. That is my new goal for myself!!!

Happy Valentines Day

For Valentines Day this year we didn't do a whole lot, as usual! My Parents had us over for a yummy steak and shrimp dinner. Not your typical romantic valentines day but now that we have Hayden we just prefer to celebrate with him as a family!

Valentines day kind of gets blown out of proportion just like any other holiday. Hayden gets spoiled rotten! I guess he is just well loved!!!

We kept telling Hayden that Valentines Day was coming up and he was getting confused and kept saying "It's Christmas Day Mom". We had to explain that it was Love Day not Christmas Day! So on this special day we need to tell everyone how much we love them! It's hard to explain things to a 3 year old even though he is the smartest boy in town!

How did you spend your Valentines Day?

The pretty flowers that Nate & Hayden gave my Mom! How sweet is that?!
Hayden giving his Daddy his Valentine!
This is the face of how excited Hayden was to get the best part of his Valentine!

And this is what it was. Another Tonka garbage truck! You just gotta have several of these things according to Hayden!

Another photographer Hayden moment and me trying to be patient while I am talking him into giving me the camera back. I better get his Fisher Price digital camera out that Santa brought him.
