I made these ties for my boys for their Easter outfits. They turned out so CUTE and the boys love wearing them because they wear ties now like Daddy does.

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law came down from Logan yesterday to make Easter chocolates. We had a blast gorging ourselves on chocolates and goofing off. We couldn't keep our hands off the caramel. It was so yummy! Here is our finished product.



She really could eat that whole thing!


Trying to look busy.


Yummy!


Being silly.

The boys are super obsessed with pirates right now. Braxton wants to be one when he grows up so on Saturday we took the boys to Pirate Island. The boys had a blast! The food isn't that great(Its really not good, at least our pizza wasn't.) but the atmosphere is really fun. I felt really bad for our server, they are supposed to talk like a pirate the whole time and he was really struggling with it as he was explaining the menu. It was pretty funny to hear him go in and out of "pirate speak". But all in all it was a really fun night.

GIVEAWAY!!!!!

Our business Polka-dots and Paisley is having a GIVEAWAY. Go to our blog pdandpaisley.blogspot.com to find out the details! We are giving away a really cute prize so head on over there to find out how to enter.

Hayden had surgery on his eye to get the tear duct unclogged. We had to be at the hospital at seven in the morning which meant we had to leave our house at 6:15. He didn't like being awake so early in the morning and he didn't like that he couldn't have anything to eat but other then that he did really well. He didn't cry once, even when they took him away from us and when they brought him back in his hospital bed he was totally calm and just looking around. He was really goofy from the anesthesia. He just wanted to have his mouth open against my face. It was so cute! We are glad that his eye is all better. Its weird to look at him and see him without a red, swollen and goopy eye.


Waiting to be taken to his room.



He loved having the little thing that goes on the finger to test the oxygen level.


Getting his blood pressure checked.


Hayden wasn't too happy in this picture because he wanted some one to hold him and I wanted a good picture.



He was so cute in his hospital gown!



He did really well. He wasn't able to eat before the surgery and I thought he was going to be much worse then he was.




This is the teddy bear that they gave Hayden. He loved it!

Family pictures

Here are our family pictures for 2009. My friend Whitney took the pictures and I thought she did an amazing job. I was so worried that we weren't going to get any good pictures because the boys were kind of crazy and wouldn't cooperate. But I was so surprised! They turned out awesome and we got so many pictures. Thanks Whit, I love them.

We celebrated Braxton's and Jack's birthdays in July. Here are some pictures of their beach themed birthday party.
