Stupid Little White Ball.....

So the summer has started out very expensive. (not including food and gas!)
With the US Open being on a couple weekends ago, David and Hayden were glued to the TV watching Tiger Woods go into a tie and half to play another round tomorrow. So exciting! (if you can't tell I am dripping with sarcasim.)
Anyhow with a long day ahead of me at work I wanted to lay down while Bella was sleeping, hayden asked if he could go out side and play in the back , sure , anything for some peace and quiet. The back door was open and after a while he came in.
We went to work and at work he proceeds to tell me that he found one of daddy's real golf ball's and that it broke Lou's window. What?!? So I am not sure what to do right then so I tell him we'll deal with it when we get home. Sure enough we walk in the door and my neighbor Lou walks over holding a golf ball. After apologizing a million times and offering to pay when it gets fixed he was so nice about it and said next time he should hit it in the other neighbors yard.
Hayden felt pretty bad and asked if I was going to send him away for a while! (tears!!)
I told him never and that it was an accident and it all will be fine.
Couple days later Lou talks to david and says "Oh It'll be only about $300 to fix."
And because we have money like that lying around we have been waiting to spend it!!
So the new rule is No hard balls out side only the wiffle balls.
But David and I do get 27 car washes this summer from Hayden. That is how he will work off the money.
summer is starting off with a Bang , literally! What little boys childhood is complete with out a ball breaking a window story? Now Hayden's is complete!

It's Late , I'm Tired

Life continues to pick me up, spin me around,
slam me down , then stomp on me. Working and trying to keep the house going , dropping off at school, keeping playdates correct, soccer and baseball games, practices and gamboree's straight is exhausting. But I'm doing it.
So I will stop whinning and tell of some good things that are going on. Hayden had his Kindergarten Program on Friday and he was just too sweet. They showed a slid show of the whole year of activities and field trips and I cried through all of that and then, to top it off ,they played that song " Some Where Over the Rainbow" with the Hawaiin guy singing and they showed all there faces and I really lost it. (I do have emotions on my sleeve). Then he sang the songs they rehearsed and gave his teacher a bouquet of flowers to thank her and I wanted to pinch his cheeks! He was angelic. I think emotions ran so high because I liked this year in kindergarten I have loved the age, all that he has learned, he has grown up but is still my little "bubba" that wants me to snuggle with him when he goes to bed, and give kisses before I go anywhere. I am holding on to my baby and he is slowly not my baby anymore. Ohh motherhood is full of ups and downs and I was not anticipating feeling like this. (it doesn't help that I am always tired)!
Other than that life is just life. Oh David did say he wanted me to want blog about him because he asked if my other fellow bloggers blogged about their husbands. So He said and I quote, "Say that I am awesome, and that I am the Best and so Handsome." Alright I can officially say that I blogged about him.
3 more days of school , a long summer ahead of me, lots of fun in our backyard (that finally is grass and looking good.) Late summer nights, tan little faces to kiss. You know life is good , I am tired and complain but life is good. It's 11:14 and I have dishes to clean. Until the next time I blog , in 3 weeks.

Asleep at the ....Table

Well I don't think I have blogged about my recent adventure in starting to work again. Now it is a nice set up, I go to my friends house where she has a day care, and I bring Izabella and we play and take care of the kids and I can be with Bella and love her and she gets to play with all these kids and still gets her nap and all that stuff 19 month olds need. With food and gas becoming soooo expensive we saw this as a blessing in disguise because I hesitated to do it. So needless to say life has become even busier than before and Bella is such a trooper to be so good with all this transition, she just couldn't take it anymore and the other night fell asleep right at the table. Oooh she is too cute, she has never done that before, so we captured her sweetness then wisked her of to her crib.

Athlete in the making...

Hayden has been involved in Soccer and Baseball this spring and is doing well in both. He does pretty well at both sports but Soccer he tends to get worked up and wild, and baseball has some more down time to he is in the out field picking up dirt saying " Diagone Alley" (if you don' t know where diagone alley is, watch Harry Potter 2). But for the most part he stays focused and if he and the other boys slack off, his coach makes him run which the other moms and I love because it wears them right out!!! We are hoping this season will teach some discipline and team sportsmanship , Hurray for Hamden Sports Association..!

She walks!!

Izabella is no bigger than a peanut and she preferred to crawl around instead of walking until she was about 16 1/2 months. That all changed when I bought this 5 dollar stroller that she spent a good week just walking around with and then decided that this walking thing is not so bad. So finally at 17 months she walks everywhere and actually gets mad now when she can't get down and walk , I have created a monster, but a cute one. Run Bella Run!


p.s. she is almost 19 months, so this was a little while ago.

The Sweetest Place on Earth....

For our family trip a couple weeks ago we decided to go to Hershey, PA, where chocolates of every kind are made (and samples are freely given!). It was a fun trip for us and so nice to be together. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure (yes this means my camera is fixed and working Yipee!) The pictures go from bottom to top instead of the right way, top to bottom, once again I am blogging challenged. Anyways, we went to the Hershey factory, the museum, and the Zoo(which actually smelled like chocolate instead of animal Poop), it was so fun and beautiful weather. Next trip to the Crayola factory!

Hayden-isms

Hayden is such a cute kid and he has done and said some cute things in the past little while and I wanted to write them down.....

* "Mom you weigh Zero pounds", then whispering to me with a cute smile , "but daddy is the fattest of us all"
* "Mom, I figured out what the sun is",
You did babe, what is it? " It's Heavenly Father watching over us because it is so warm!"
Oh is he sweet...
* The other day he decides to wear one shin guard to school under his pants and I did not know until we were at school and he claims it protects him at recess...... Dodge ball must have changes since I was in school.......
* In the bath the other night he leans in and hugs bella saying " i love you prescious" (ooh I could just kiss his face off!)
*earlier in the year he decided to wear just 1 (one) black glove to school, just one, like micheal
jackson, his teacher loved it and said he was just fine, (ok I said, your the professional.)
* In a prayer over dinner he blessed his kindergarten class the they would be alright... so sweet
* He has started baseball and he got a new bat for is birthday and when he goes to use it he picks it up with it's own theme song, Dududududu Duuuu Duuuu Duuuu, (it's hysterical)!
*It's not all roses with him we get the occasional " That's not fair", or "Mom would you stop asking me to do that?"
* When ever we play a game and dad or mom win immediately we are accused of cheating and he claims he is never playing with us again!!
*We need to teach him about not describing people by there weight,
I asked him what lunch lady he was talking about (the one that told him to sit down) and he said "Oh, the fat lunch lady",
milk almost came out of david's nose. Too funny.....
I just love him and he is so funny and a good kid. I love you cheeky monkey!!
