August just started and its already started off to be pretty busy.
August 14th our neice Erica is getting married to Ray and we couldn't be happier for the two of them. They are expecting their first son in mid October.
Later this month Hayden will go for his routine checkup with Dr.Pickens.
I'm on the hunt for baseball themed stuff for Hayden's big boy room. Sheets, blanket, comforter, pillow case, rug, curtains, valence, shelves, wall decor, etc.
I'm trying to get back into the workforce and go back to work so if anyone has any job leads, send them my way. Huge thanks in advance.
Definately looking forward to the temps cooling off asap so I can do some more yard work in the front. Now that I know my flowers have survived, I'm ready to give planting a second go around. :)
It might be a while before I update again. Our internet has been down for a while and I'm having to blog via Blackberry. Thus the reason there are no pics with this post. I hope this post finds everyone healthy and well.
X's and O's!!

Hayden vs Concrete
This past weekend we decided on a last minute trip to Cuero to spend time with Jon's family. As always we stay at his mom's beautiful house. It just so happens they were doing a bbq the same weekend we'd be down there.
We were outside enjoying everyone's company, sweating it out in the humidity and enduring the mesquitos when I here a noise I'm all too familiar with. Hayden fell. Face first. Into the concrete. It wasn't just a typical fall, face plant, get back up and keep going. He slid across the concrete, scraping his forehead, nose, and got his upper lip pretty damn good. My MIL told me not to baby him, but I know his crys and I knew this one was pain, so I hopped up and took him inside. No sooner than I walked thru the front door, he stopped crying. But here came the blood. It was almost an instant reaction from when he stopped crying, it started pouring out of his nose and lip. After I got it under control and cleaned it really well, I doctored it up with some neosporen and we headed back outside. And Hayden true to himself, he went back to running up and down the concrete slab and playing. He wasn't going to let a little concrete skidmark on his face slow him down or dampen his day. Tough little boy he is.
This is his face during the healing process... looks horrible!
This brings us to today, five days later, he finally rubbed off the final scab and I'm so happy. His handsome little face didn't get scarred, thank you God!!! He has enough serious scars to last anyone a life time. :)
Today we are headed to the splashpad at Brushy Creek. I can't wait! Mama needs some sun!!
X's and O's! Toodles!!

Never a dull day
Its always something different and always so comical here in our household. Mainly because of Hayden's free spirit and goofy character. Lately he finds EVERYTHING funny I do. If it's a silly face, a funny sound, or even jumping up and down acting like a nut, he laughs histerically. His spirit brightens my soul every single day.
Today was no exception. As always, my morning routine requires me to feed and water the dogs in outside in the backyard. While I was cleaning out their water bucket, I frequently glance to our sliding glass door to keep an eye on Hayden. Upon first glance, everything appeared normal. About 37.2 seconds later, I casually looked up again to see what he was doing since he was banging on the door, when I see my son, in all his glory.... no diaper in sight! I finish tending to the dogs and go inside to find his diaper thrown on the kitchen tile. Upon further inspection I find a nicely planted terd under the kitchen table. I asked Hayden, "Where did this come from?" He looks at me with a half smile and points to his diaper, his reply "This!" Ha! He's so smart but is soooo darn goofy. So before I even attempt cleaning his puddle and "mess," I take him to the kitchen sink and wash his hands because the thought of him handling his poo makes me sick to my stomach. (And now yours! ha!) So we get everything cleaned up. I usually will let him run around the house in a diaper only to save another load of laundry as frequently. I was forced to put a onesie on him because he can't get out of them yet. If he wants to make taking off his diaper a regular thing, I'll make sure the little terd (no pun intended) can't get it off.
God has blessed me with a truly unique son and he is the reason I remember to laugh and smiling daily. Thank you Hayden, for keeping us rolling on the floor laughing so hard. You are a comical one, you silly boy!!

Lately Hayden has been battling a god awful diaper rash. Its not your average run of the mill rash that can be treated with diaper rash creams and so forth. This is borderline a burn. Jon and I put two and two together and realized he didn't have this problem until we got the new box of Huggies diapers as we always do. So yesterday I sent an email to Huggies corporate office to explain my concern and frustrations. I got a personal response back first thing this morning from a live representative. I was not only shocked, but thankful that they are making the wrong situation, right. Firstly, they are sending a postage paid packaging for me to return two of the original diapers, unused so they can test them. Secondly we will be recieving a check to take care of the refund. I'm shocked!! I never once asked them to refund my purchase. I was more concerned that it might have been a bad batch of diapers and was concerned how many other children were affected by this. I will forever be a faithful Huggies mommy!!!
