Words from the Brodster!

Okay so I have been walking for almost 2 weeks now! I'm unstoppable! I do loose my balance every now and then but for the most part you would think I'm a pro. My brother is trying to take all the attention off me right now. I don't understand why. I mean he gets to stay up later than me with mommy and daddy . Oh well. I cant help if I'm soooo cute! Not much has been going on this week. I went to the church nursery on Sunday and the teachers were amazed at how well behaved I am . I don't get into anything..I just walk around and look = ) . Well that's all for now..see y'all next week

My mom calls it terrible 2's, I call it knowing what i want. I want cookies, cake and candy. While grammy was here I had just that! I wish she was here all the time. Im slowly getting back on schedule. Oh and Mommy and Daddy are letting me stay up later . I get to be up with them anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour after Brody goes to bed. I love it!

Wise words from Hayden Pants


Ok so its been a week since I was last on here so let me catch you up on what I have been doing this week.
Ive been beating up my brother! That's right last week I loved him, this week NOT so much. I just hate that he gets all the attention . Mommy has to carry , has to feed him, has to do EVERYTHING for him. Me however since I'm older they expect me to wait or to run around while he gets held. No..Ill show them I will push him , throw things at him and even slap him on the head. Mommy says its not nice and Daddy puts me in time out. I hate time out!!!! I wish Brody would go back where he came from. Maybe next week i will feel different.Daddy and Mommy however have been letting me stay p a little later with them so that means i get at least 40 minutes of quality time with them. They know this makes me feel special! I also changed Nanny's so that too may be making me a little upset. I miss my daycare friends, but Mommy says on Sundays I will still get to see my church friends. Before I know it Micheal from next door will be old enough for me to run around with = 0).

Lets see on a good note. I am learning all my body parts....from knees, back to butt. Yes daddy thought it would be funny to teach me where my butt is.Well Mommy says tomorrow Grammy and Grandpa are coming. I don't know tho....I keep telling her that picture of grandpa sure does look allot like daddy ...hmm..Well any who. I'm really excited and will be on here next week to tell you all about it . For now I have some apple jacks that are calling my name = )

Words from the Brodster!


Hey guys! Its me the rounder one of mommys babies. I just wanted to let you guys what has been going in my life this last week.
I have been kinda cranky but I have two shiny new teeth to show for it all. Mommy says I will probably just start spitting out teeth since my gums are still very much swollen. Mommy said that when I have all my teeth I can eat more exciting foods like burgers and whole slices of pizza!
Mommy and Daddy set up my pool that I got last year. I didnt really like it much . My brother was splashing too much and it made me scared. Daddy said I was being prissy...but he forgets that I am only 15 months old. I cant even walk yet. But I must admit I am fairly sensitive haha.
I learned to climb up the couch and pretty much anything low enough for me to hop on . Mommy gets so scared when I get up there because I have not figured out how to get down yet. Daddy however is an excellent teacher and I almost have it down. I wanted to go head first but Da-Da..as i like to call him...told me i need to back up. Mommy often finds me on top of my brothers lego table. I like to hop on there and watch tv. I also learned that if I yell at the top of my lungs somebody will come get me down.
Last but not least, I have a new Nanny. I call her Tita...or will one day. She is as tall as me ..hehe ok maybe just a little taller . But she likes to sing and dance for me. She talks really loud when she is excited too. Im still not too sure about her but Im warming up to her.
Well guys thats it for this week...
BYE-BYE

Mothers day!

So this year was my third mothers day! It was pretty low key we did Alot but at the same time did nothing! I woke up at 7am (that's sleeping in for me) and started cleaning up the house right away . I cleaned and cleaned till it was time for church. After church we cleaned and cleaned and then picked up Chinese take out. After Chinese take out I told my husband I was going to go take a relaxing bath while him and the boys finished watching Alvin and the Chipmunks....So before I even get in Hayden hears the water running and thinks its bath time. So I plop him in, put on my bathing suit...plop in with him and 2 minutes later here comes Brody. Needless to say it was NOT the most relaxing bath in the world but it was fun! Daddy came in minutes later wondering where the boys went ha ha . After the bath it was back to the cleaning station .

Last night was the first night the new nanny stayed at or house! It was kinda exciting and also nerve wrecking. I felt so weird just getting up and going this morning. For ONCE I got to worry about myself and nobody else!!! It was kinda nice but I felt so out of it. I am so excited the boys are going to get to enjoy their house....their toys...their food...I love the idea of coming home to clean house too ha ha . It has been 29 months straight of me doing this on my own. With a handful of nights where i had a babysitter my husband and I hardly spend time outside the home by ourselves...I grocery shop with my kids, I go to the doctor with my kids, I take a walk with my kids. So i hope nobody judges this decision in our life. I feel it is a much needed break!!!! I don't have my mom , and aunt or even a friend around the corner to just drop my kids off while i run an errand. Its me...all me...and if Brian isn't around to help , you can forget anything getting done...I cook , I feed, I bathe, all on my own ..OK well 95% of the time...Not because my hubby does not want to , but I like to take that lead role in my children's life. It also however leaves me with like 10% energy for him and 0 for me.

I cant wait to see what this does to our life's!!!

Happy Mothers day ladies! I have to get back to work!

As told by Hayden Pants


OK so this is my first entry on my mommy's blog. I'm actually really excited about it . I am going to be here every Friday to let you know all about my week. Brody will be on here on Tuesdays, if you care to know what he is up to . My life is way more exciting however...but its up to you .

So this week has been pretty exciting. It has been in the 90's almost everyday so mommy and daddy have let me have some outside time. I love being outside! I really don't see the point of playing inside, there aren't even any bugs for me to collect in there. I love collecting Dandelions and blowing the seeds everywhere to help them grow all over the yard!

Mommy says she loves watching my relationship with my little brother grow. I have to admit he is growing on me. However I did hit him yesterday on the head with a book. His head is huge and it was tempting me. Mommy scolded me and I tried to tickle her to distract her from what I had done. I also learned to take my diaper off! It feels so liberating! I took it off twice last night and mommy awoke to find me bear bottomed in my crib. Luckily I had not had the need to go potty this morning .

OOOOOH OOOOH OOOOOOH I also learned to count to 6 in Spanish. I know 1-9 in English but this week I felt like trying Spanish out for a change. Watch out Dora! I'm coming after your job! Mommy took a video of it but has yet to share it with anybody.

Mothers day I Sunday , I'm too little to get my mom something but she says I don't need to . I'm all that she needs..Well me and Brobee...oh and Daddy.

OOOOOhhhhh how he loves us....

Ok so just when you look back in the sand and only see 1 set of footprints, God set me down for a break and two sets appeared again. Does that make sense? Probably not!!! But it does to me haha. Oh lord knows my husband and I have had a tough ....very tough week. I don't (cant) go into details about what happened earlier this week but it rattled my world. I was so upset....I am so upset, but i think my body and face are still numb form it all that it has not hit me yet...I think come 12/3/2010 it will hit hard......but any who...

Brian got the awesome news of a promotion yesterday!!!!! After waiting, waiting,, praying and praying for almost 2 years now....God is answering our prayers. Slowly but surely!!! If he had let us sell the house, we would be in Dallas right now, and the promotion would be out the window. My husband would be in the air force and i would be by myself left with both boys for half a year at a time. He knows what hes doing...so what am I so worried about. What was I so worried about. I have a plan for me...he has another. I'm sure his is much better!!!

Well Ill keep y'all up to date as i get any news...


oh ooh oooooooh I almost forgot . As on Monday May 10 2010......I WILL have a live in Nanny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh aren't things just going awesome now!!!yay!!!
