No Boys Allowed!

I spent a night up past Cedar with some of my very favorite gals! We had a blast playing games, eating fondue, staying up way too late and laughing. There were many great memories made. And Amber's tops the list for sure!

Thank you Teresa for sharing your cabin with us all!

I can't wait for our next adventure!

Our house guest

There are many things that I love about the fall season like the cooler weather. So, I've been able to leave the back door and windows open most of the day. Well, today a little fly decided to make our house his home. And I have now discovered that we have a child that is terrified of that little, harmless fella. This is what I have been dealing with most of my day today......

It was kinda funny at first, but now it is just ridiculous! Get over it Vieve! It won't hurt you!!!

However, it does remind me of last summer when my Hayden went through a phase where he was terrified of the wind. Actually, it wasn't even the wind. It was more like a teeny tiny breeze. He wouldn't come outside until he checked to see if the leaves on the trees were moving ever so softly. He even screamed at me for taking our, at the time, 6 month old Genevieve outside saying that she would blow away. Thank goodness that is over with. Now, I just have to kill the fly.....poor little guy

Just so you know - I didn't drink out of that cup once I saw the fly land on it. Gross! But I didn't get all hysterical either. =) We also had to picnic in Genevieve's room after I shot this video. She even made sure to shut her door so the yucky fly couldn't get in. Silly girl!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAYDEN!!

Hayden has been trying to decide what to do for his birthday for months now. He has gone back and forth between Jumping Jacks and Staheli Farms. He also thought about Fiesta Fun and bowling. But the winner was Jumping Jacks. We love going there. We all come home sweaty and with burns on our elbows and knees. But it is all worth it!

I think Hayden had a good day! It started off with breakfast at IHOP with Grandma Bingham. Then they went shopping. Hayden loved all the attention he got at school. They sang to him in his class and at P.E. After school we headed over to Jumping Jacks then it was off to Grandma's for the "nicest birthday dinner" and a special Oreo cookie cake. What a great day for such a great six year old! Happy Birthday Hayden!!!

We saw this done in the Family Fun magazine this month and thought it looked cool. So, the boys and I wandered all over the backyard to find things that resembled the letters in their names. I loved watching the boys look at things from all different angles.
