Barnesville Park

These were taking awhile ago... but I just haven't been able to update much lately.

Pumpkin Festival 2009

Justin, Hayden and I went to the Pumpkin Festival this past Thursday night. This is Hayden's 3rd year going and this was the 1st year we managed to get a picture of him with the King Pumpkin.

Myrtle Beach 2009

This is where we spent most of our time.

Hayden and I at Ripley's Believe it or Not

First Time going into the water... as you can see he wasn't too happy

First look of the ocean... he didn't know what to think

We went to Myrtle Beach at the beginning of the month. I had only been to the beach one other time and that was like 9 or 10 years ago with my friend Jennifer from High School. I am not much of a beach person, but I figured Hayden would love it. And he did. We went with Aunt Patty and Uncle Chris. Looking forward to another trip together next year!

Ohio State Fair

We went to Columbus to celebrate Aunt Patty's birthday. It just happened that the Ohio State Fair was going on and we decided to go. Hayden loved every minute of it. He was actually pretty tired in the beginning because he hadn't napped yet. Thanks again Patty and Chris for taking us to the fair. We look forward to going again next year.


Feeding the Goats some carrots.

Hayden finally getting to play a game all by himself.

Riding the Carousel with Mommy and Daddy

"Baa-Ram-Ewe" is what he was saying to the sheep.... he got that from the movie Babe.

Chris and Hayden

Aunt Patty and Hayden... he kept looking at the Tractors behind me.

Helping and Swimming

Justin was outside working on his 4-wheeler and Hayden thought that his little go-cart needed and adjustment too. Justin took a break from working on his 4-wheeler and Hayden took over for him. After all of that working Hayden said that he needed to go swimming and so that is what we did.

Bethesda Park

We went over to our little park at the beginning of July for their yearly festival. We actually had to go over both days and ride the train. I think that he would have stayed on there all day if it was up to him.

Potty Training

I cannot believe that we are already at the potty training stage. Every since Hayden was around 15 months he has been interested in going on the potty, but I didn't push him into it. He would go when he wanted and that was fine. Well for 3 full days now we have big boy underwear all the time. OK well except for nap and bedtime, but other than that. But even during those times for the last few days he has woken up clean diapers, and I am hoping by the end of the weekend we will need no diapers ag all. It makes me sad to know that he is getting so big. I can't believe that he is almost 2 and half. Where has the time gone and can I please have it back.
