Life Is Good!

This post is themed by Hayden's "Life Is Good" booties. His Aunt Magen and Uncle Hooper got these booties for him and he wears them all of the time. Here are some pictures we took with Hayden and his best friend Peyton!

Getting ready for Mothers' Day

For Mother's Day this year we decided to make platters with Hayden's footprints for the Grandmothers. Hayden was not sure what to think about having his foot painted black!

Happy 3rd Birthday Jackson!

One sleepy "Monkey Man"

McKensie and Jackson riding around in a dump truck!

I cannot believe Jen and I are mommies! It seems like yesterday we were still in college!

On Saturday, April 19 we got to celebrate Jackson's 3rd Birthday. I can hardly believe he is three. Jennifer was pregnant with Jackson at our wedding! He is the smartest and sweetest 3 year-old that I know.

Hayden Michael is 9 months old!

Hayden when he was 2 days old. I cannot believe how much he has grown!

Hayden's best friend, Peyton! Peyton is our first baby. She will be 3 in August. She loves Hayden and is very protective over him. She always comes and helps put Hayden to bed and loves to sleep right beside the crib! If we could just teach her to fetch diapers!

Our little "Monkey Man" is 9 months old. We took him to see Dr. Tigar on Tuesday and he was 19lbs. 11oz. and 30 inches long! He is in the 45% for weight and the 90% for height, but most importantly he is healthy and as happy as can be! He is now our little speed crawler and standing up and cruising everywhere. David has recently had to baby proof our house because he is in to everything! Here are some pics we took of Hayden this week...

A trip to the Tennessee Aquarium

Hayden and his "GiGi"

Look at our big boy standing watching the sturgeons swim!




GiGi came to visit last weekend and we took Hayden to see all of the fishes at the aquarium. It was great to see how much he has changed and how interactive he is with all of the animals now that he is older.

Bath time

Hayden's first time in the tub!
Hayden loves to be wrapped in a towel. Today he was a lion. Thanks Aunt Lindsay for the lion towel. Hayden loves lions! He must get that from his Mommy! Ha!

Oh how we love bath time! Courtesy of "Gigi," Hayden has a bathtub full of rubber duckies and of course we must play with them all during our bath. Hayden is now sitting up in the tub without his seat. He thinks it is so much to splash water and make the biggest mess possible! Here are some pics to show how much he has grown from his first bath until now...

What a great weekend!

My first experience with a bubble!
Peyton was scared of the bubbles!
I love my Happy Baby!

We love Spring!

Today was the first day we have felt like getting outside. This week Hayden has had a really bad ear infection and I have had strep throat which has just been a blast! We both have also had a case of cabin fever so it was great to finally see the sunlight! What a beautiful day to get outside! My mom got Hayden a bubble machine and it was a huge hit once he figured out he could pop the bubbles. He just laughed and laughed! We also went to our neighborhood park and spent the afternoon.

Hanging out with friends!

Hayden with his Uncle Anthony!
Anthony already trying to corrupt Hayden into being an Alabama fan!
Hayden loves dogs! Banjo was a good sport letting Hayden pet him!
Hayden passed out in Daddy's arms.

Saturday night we had the opportunity to hang out with some friends. After the weather cleared up we grilled out at Chris and Kellys' house. Hayden loves his Aunt Kelly and Uncle Chris! We always have so much fun hanging out with them and they are so good with "little man." Hayden also had a surprise. Anthony stopped by to visit! It was great to see everyone. Hope to see you all soon!

Happy 1st Birthday Haley Shields!

Saturday we got to celebrate Haley's first birthday. What a great day! Hayden had so much fun playing with all of the other kids! The best part was watching Haley dive into her cake! Thanks Jen and Jason for letting us celebrate this special day with your family!
