Ouch!

My poor Bubba!  Hayden was being Mister Independent and was opening his own can of Spaghetti O's by himself and some managed to cut his little thumb. Good thing Nate was home to look at it and decide that we needed to take him to get stitches. Poor little man was so worried and his body trembled until it was all over with. Right after it happened Hayden said, "I wish I had already eaten dinner and we could have been in bed and being normal.".  That cracked me up!! 

Hayden was a brave boy while the Doc stitched his little thumb up. Five stitches!  

The Future......

I'm always wondering what the future holds for my little monsters. Of course Nate and I have talked about what we hope the future holds for them and how we hope and pray that they choose the right path in the life. Make good choices and be the best they can be at all they do. 

At the age of 8, Hayden says he wants to be an Engineer. That's a great goal buddy!!  He thinks it would be fun because he lines to be creative and design things (legos)!  As for my little 4 year old firecracker Bryn,  she's gonna be a cheerleader and a rockstar!  

It's fun to watch these little miracles of mine become their own person and make their own choices. Hhhhmmmm.... I wonder what lies ahead?! Only time will tell!  But hopefully not too soon!  

Hayden's Crush

Hayden called me as soon as he got home from school to tell me that after school Layla handed him a note and ran off. Layla is a girl that has had a crush on Hayden since last year. She left Hayden notes on his desk that said "I love Hayden" with a greasy spot on the paper which appeared to be a kiss mark with lip gloss. This happened a few times until Hayden told his teacher because he was getting embarrassed. It's a new school year and Layla is not in Hayden's class. He's probably glad about that!  The note was too cute and probably took a lot of guts for her to give to Hayden so I felt bad when Hayden filled in the "no" box on her letter. But he did say they could still be friends!  The next morning before school I told Hayden not to forget to give the note back to Layla and tried to explain how she probably feels and to it be mean to her or anything. Hayden, being annoyed, said "why do girls have to do this? I just want to live a normal life. I don't have time for this because I'm going to busy hunting."  And so it begins!  But I'm glad it's beginning with Hayden doing the heartbreaking and not wanting anything to do with girls than having his heart broke. Just keep busy hunting buddy until you're like 30!!  Girls are yucky anyway!!

Date Night with Bubba!

It had been so long since I have had one on one time with my little Bub so I decided it was date night with Mommy!  Since school is starting soon I thought it would be a good time to take him to pick out some new shoes and let him pick whatever else he wanted us to do.  Hayden chose to get ice cream so we went to Baskin Robins which we hadn't been to in years (since our last little date!).

He also chose to go to the pet store.  Hayden is all about having pets.  Well, his Mom is not so keen on the idea of pets.  I have always said that we are the pet free Peterson's!  Hayden just has such a big heart that he wants to adopt all the cats and dogs he can.  He feels bad for them!  When we went to the pet store that's all he wanted to look at were the cats and kittens that needed a home.  I keep having to explain to him that I am allergic to cats and dogs so we can't have one at home.  Kinda sad for Hayden but having pets just aren't in the cards for our family.  So until Hayden gets big and has his own home he gets to enjoy cats and dogs at Grandpa Rocks house!

I loved being alone with just Hayden and being able to talk to him without being interrupted and rushed some place.  We laughed and goofed around and had a great time!  I have the most caring, smart, respectful son ever and I am proud to be his Mom!

The minute we got home, Hayden asked if he could use the computer....

.....to look up the animal shelter for pets to adopt. 

Happy Easter!

Another great warm Easter Sunday! We stayed home from camping and celebrated Easter with family this year and the Easter Bunny still found us and brought presents and treats!



Granny spent the day before Easter with us coloring eggs and decorating Grandma's yummy sugar cookies!  WE love our Granny!!



Brynlee's Bunny loot!  PINK baseball stuff of course!

Bubba's Bunny Loot!

I have the most cutest kids ever!! 

Happy 3rd Birthday to Bryn!

Our little (BIG) girl turned 3!! To celebrate her big day we had a Cowgirl Party! Bryn thinks she is a cowgirl so to match her cute new cowgirl boots that Santa brought I got her a girly cowgirl outfit! She is a little hamski with all of her many silly faces!

I'm not sure why, but I feel that the cake is one of the most important things for a birthday party!  It has to be over the top cute!  Not just a store or homemade cake!  While my kids are little I feel like I can get away with things like this and her outfit cause I get to pick it!  Not too many years of this cutesy stuff so I gotta to do while I can!

Bryn and her favorite friend Sophia!

On her actual birthday Mommy took her to get her very first mannie peddie!  So much fun!  Such a big girl!  Of course she chose the color pink!

And her favorite present from Mommy and Daddy!  Her big girl scooter like her Bubba's!

Silly Girl showing off!

She even picked out her own cake so that we could sing Happy Birthday to her.  Monster High!  She didn't even know what Monster High was, yet......  Maybe next year she will if they are still around!

Little Stinker!

Look at this little stinker!  Her Daddy got this nice new HUGE hunting back pack for his birthday and she just had to try it on. She has an obsession with "pack packs" as she calls them.  This thing was as big as she was and she thought it was so cool that she was able to have it in her back. 

Bowling Fun!

The winter blues had us down so we decided to get out of the house and go bowling!  The kids love to bowl! 

Hayden and Bryn love the arcade as much as they love bowling!

Bubba helping Sister bowl.

The kiddos...and Nate!  Kayson, Hayden, Baylee, Gage, Brynlee

 

 

 

The Hubs and I!  Boy, aren't we the cutest ever!  HAHAHAHA
