An October Morning at the Arboretum

Steve took of work Friday for a nice family outing at the Arboretum. It was perfect weather and the boys had a great time exploring and playing in the pumpkins and hay. I was so happy to get pics of them in their adorable matching Halloween shirts from my favorite children's clothing store, Janie and Jack.

Sweet Hayden is having a fantastic time.

As usual, Evan is on the move as Daddy tries to get a pick of us together.

Hayden enjoys taking the time to pose with Mommy.

Daddy somehow manages to get E to cooperate for just a second to snap a pic together.

Daddy helps Evan walk across the tops of the hay bales.

Evan loved throwing the hay around. I think that was the best part for him.

Hayden's First Staple - Ouch!

Hayden had his first boo-boo requiring one staple this week. He was playing on the playground at preschool and fell back and hit his head after colliding with another child. His Daddy came rushing in right behind me from work as soon as he heard with the Blackberry already to his ear calling the doctor to wait further instruction and asking his symptoms. Apparently I come to find out that Steve dashed through the main office without even stopping to wait for a name tag and sign in -( such a sweet concerned Daddy!)
Steve took Hayden to the doctor while I took Evan back home for his nap. He said he did great and was such a trooper. Of course Daddy took him for a Wii Game rental and ice cream afterwards - nothing a little TLC couldn't fix. He gets his staple out tomorrow. I am so glad. I think seeing the staple bothers me more than the wound. It looks like it would hurt but Hayden forgets it is even there on the back of his head. I guess if we made it to almost 5 years with 1 staple being the worst injury so far we are doing good :-)

Go Texas!

Nothing like a Texas Skull Cap and
"Texas Fight" from little E
to cheer the Longhorns to victory!

Soccer Game Fun

Go Raptors!

I kept seeing Hayden in his "runners stretch."
(He watched a lot of Olympics with Daddy.)

He kicked that ball with great determination!

I didn't ever figure out what this boy was
yelling at my sweet Hayden about. He
was getting the finger point and everything.

Anyhow, he loves his soccer practice and counts
down to his games each week.
