It's a...

BOY!!! We are having another precious, beautiful, wonderful, awesome, handsome, little boy and I'm so excited. I love my mama's boy right now and I know that he is going to be a great helper with his little brother, so I can only imagine two of them running wild around the house. When we found out Jeff of course was elated as expected. He and I had a little bet going on before we went into the office for the Sono, he was saying we were going to have a boy and I was saying a girl. EVERYTHING has been so different and totally oposite than it was with Hayden so I just knew it was going to be a girl. To my surprise, I lost the bet, good thing we didn't shake on that deal. God knows what I can handle and it sure 'nough wasn't a girl, I don't think I would've handled the drama very well, as well as other things that come along with little girls. The doc said everything looked great with him and it is looking like he will turn out a lot like Hayden. Early, and still big... I can't wait for him to be here and to have my 3 men in my house! Now I get to go shopping!!!!!!!!!! Yippy!!!

Easter 2009

Easter Sunday we did the usual, nothing out the the ordinary, went to church and then went to Mamaw's house for lunch and egg hunting. Lots of fun, Jeff wasn't with us again this year since he was in Germany picking up casualties from Afghanistan, last year he was in Afghanistan (maybe next year). I don't have much to post on this topic but I do have some cute pics. Barry (my step-dad) went a little crazy with my camera so there are random photos of Hayden and I not looking at the camera, but some turned out.

Aaaah...

Seriously! I'm about to go crazy, my doctor appointment isn't until Thursday (AFTERNOON) and this is the appointment where we will find out if we are going to be having a little girl or another tough, yet sweet and loveable, boy! I'm excited, but it really is taking a really long time to get to this point. It didn't seem like it took this long when I was pregnant with Hayden, but I guess in a way it didn't. We found out with Hayden when I was 16 weeks and I'm almost into my 19th week with this one, the suspence is killing Jeff and I both. Anyway, just had to get that off my chest, so I'll let you guys know the scoop after Thursday, I'm sure I'll be shopping not long after. Well, if we are having a girl that is, since we already have everything from when Hayden was little.

Mud Pies, and Mud Slides

After it rained here yesterday Hayden wanted to go outside to play. Normally after it rains I don't let him go out to our backyard because not all of the grass has grown back yet and I don't want him to get into the water and mud. So I went out and checked everything out before letting him out back and decided it was alright for him to play as long as he stayed out of the 1 or 2 water puddles that were in the yard (closer to our porch). I let him out back and explained that he needed to stay out of the water and he said, "yes mam" making me think that he understood what I was saying. Well, I go inside for a few minutes to check on some clothes and come back out to this

While he stayed out of the water puddles I didn't think to tell him to stay out of the mud also. I couldn't do anything about his filth after that nor could I get mad at him for not obeying me because he never once got in the water puddles. Oh well, he had a good time running and sliding in the mud and making tracks for his 4-wheelers and tractors to drive through. Boys will be boys!

Jenia Johnson Photography UPDATE

As all of you know, Hayden won a photo contest and had a photo shoot with the photographer! Well, we finally have pictures here are a few, I hope you guy like them. Jenia also gave me her new business cards and reference cards with Hayden's face on them, he is her new cover model!

Memphis

We took a day trip to Memphis a couple of Saturdays ago (the same Saturday that Hayden sneezed on the table) so we could eat at Rendezvous, a fabulous B-B-Q joint in the back alley of downtown Memphis. Also so we could take Hayden to the children's museum. We had a great time once we got there, the 3 hour trip was actually pleasant with a 2 yr old, having only stopped once Hayden did GREAT! I took the Nintendo DS because I knew that once he saw it he would want to play with it for a while, as well as other toys for Hayden. After eating Hayden saw the Trolley and wanted to ride, since it was getting later and we still wanted to go to the museum we told him afterwards we would ride the trolley. So we headed to the museum and being a Saturday it was PACKED, I mean a total madhouse, literally a zoo in the place. But we pressed on and continued to have fun. Hayden got to pilot a Fed-Ex plane, Jeff showed him everything in the cockpit, although Hayden really knew exactly what he was doing after seeing the plane Jeff flies on at the guard base. He slid down a gi-normous slide about a million times, he learned how to change the tire on a car, he also got to drive a police motorcycle, a real one. Pretty cool place, but I don't recommend going there on the weekends, maybe take off one day during the week during a school year and go. By the time we were finished playing in the museum Hayden was wiped out and so was I, he had forgotten all about the trolley ride so we headed for home. It was a very quiet ride going home as well, Hayden slept from the time we put him in the car until we were about 45 minutes away from home! God is good!!!

What did you just do?

I know I know... don't start on me, I am writting now and catching up from the last few weeks (probably so I can miss the next few).
A couple of Saturdays ago Jeff and I are sitting in the living room when Hayden runs in and jumps on Jeff (as he usually does, thinking he's the best play gym ever). Jeff plays back at him and then Hayden climbs off of the couch and stands on the floor in front of the coffee table. (Bear with me, I have a point) So as Hayden is standing there he sneezes and spits all over the coffee table (we haven't gotten to the cover your mouth when your sneeze part, just when you cough). So Jeff, being the man that he is says, "Oh gross" and turns Hayden around so his butt is facing the table, picks him up, and wipes the table off with his butt (yes, he had pants on). I looked at him and said, "Please tell me you didn't just do what I think you just did?" He says, "well it was gross and I wasn't just gonna let it sit on the table". ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Men!!!
