Boys you are both growing like weeds. Many things change daily. Pierce you are just a little spit fire. You keep me on my toes you ask questions constantly and you are learning daily. I am so thankful for you my big darling. You tell me often that I am "handsome" and "beautiful" and you told me the other day I was YOUR "darling". You definatly know how to melt my heart. You also know how to make me crazy but such is life. You are a joy an dI am so thankful for you. Oh my blue eyed little darling Hayden. I love you so much as well. You are such a sweet happy boy 99 percent of the time and I dread the day you really get sassy and talk back and say ugly things. It will break my heart but I am so thankful for this sweet time I have with you. One of my favorite times with you is in the morning when I get your bottle change your diaper and we snuggle in bed while you drink your milk. We do this almost every single morning and I love it. I love that you let me hold you and cuddle you. You are so sweet. You sing constantly and I adore it. You love your mama and I love you. You also adore your brother. You both gave eachother the hugest kiss goodnight tonight. It is adorable!! I think you both will be so excited with baby sister Kylee comes. I'm getting very excited for her arrival b/c I am so darn uncomfortable this pregnancy but I know the end is in sight. I am so excited to be done growing our family and now ready to move on to the next stage of our lives. You boys helped me have the best mothers day you are such a joy to be around and I am one blessed mama. Thank you boys for loving me unconditionally thank you for putting up when I'm not a good mom but I try my best. I adore you both. I love you Pierce, Hayden and baby Kylee! :-)

20 Months and 3 years and 3 months!

Oh my busy busy boys! How you have changed these last few weeks. Hayden you are now very much a Daddy's boy. I thought you would never like him but you have suddenly fallen head over heals in love with him. It is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. YOu still love your mama but you definatly have a special love for your Daddy.

I think that you are now showing this affection to your Daddy he has fallen even more in love with you. He always tried to hold you and you would yell and scream and now you run to him with open arms yelling DADADADADA! You have the biggest smile when you see him and you giggle to pieces when he holds you. I love this sweet relationship that you both are developing. The other day I was driving home after taking your brother to school and I see a man on a bike with a ballon floating behind him about half a mile away. I just new it was your Daddy with you in the back. Sure enough when you turned the corner I had waited and there you were grinning ear to ear with your blue ballon going on a bike ride. I just love you son.

Hayden you now say so many words. You say mama and dada and "love you" and many others. I am so proud of you. You are now sleeping in the "play room" which is now your room. It was definatly an ajustment but we survived and you now LOVE your room! I am so thankful I chose to keep you in a seperate room than your brother because ya'll definatly wake up at different times and when you were super sick the other day I can't imagine you sharing a room with him. I love you little boy.

Pierce how much you have changed also. We have had challenges with you obeying but we are working on it. i know its a phase and you will get better. You love your brother though and give him a hug and kiss every night before bed. You boys can be sooo sweet to eachother but can both be mean as snakes. But most of the time I think its pure brotherly love. I am so thankful I was able to give you Hayden.

Pierce you are definatly excited about baby sister Kylie. You have a doll that you carry around and tell me its baby sister Kylie. You are sweet to her and you love her. I am so thankful you are happy for this big change that is about to take place. You know baby Kylie is in my belly and you talk about it often. Pierce you can be the sweetest little boy and I know that ultimatly in the end you will be but we are definalty working through the attitude.

WEll boys I adore you both and I am so thankful that God blessed me with the two most best boys I could ask for!
I love you boys!!
Love Mommy!

19 months and 3 years and 2 months! Camping!

Boys what a fun and wild month we have had. Hayden you have changed tremendously you are once again the sweet loving boy that every one adores. You are funny and are speaking so much. Here are some words you say:
- Mama
- Dada
- Up
- Hello
- Lady
- Mimi
- Pop pop
- Bubba (Brother Pierce)

And lots of other words. You are just hysterical right now and I love it. You have picked up some of your brothers crazy habbits and you love to get your nails painted like he does. You boys are just too much sometimes.
We had our first expieriance camping last week in a pop up camper. You and I did not stay only Pierce and Daddy. You stayed home with mama at night and it was nice to have you to myself for a couple nights. On th etrip we went canoeing and it was soo fun. You boys were to cute sitting in the middle of the canoe but it was funny that you kept falling straight back for some reason. I think you might have been very tired. You also got in the water with Daddy at Weikiva springs. You loved it. Pierce not so much but you loved every second in the water with Daddy. You are just too funny.

I am in the process of making the play room your bedroom. When baby sister comes you will need a room or go into brothers room but the problem is is that you still wake up on occassion a few weeks a night and I can't have you and Pierce waking each other up. So Im going to make the play room very nice for you and it will be your bedroom. I love you Hayden.

Pierce oh my how you have changed this month also> We are going through a very challenging time right now and I know that things will get better eventually but sometimes it is so hard to be a good parent to you when you are so hard to parent. I love you though. You are still sweet as pie when you want to be. You LOVED camping with daddy. You stayed the night out in the woods for two nights with him. I couldn't believe it. I do think that being outside for all that time gave you some asthma from the pollen but who knows for sure.

When we were going swimming at Weikiva you were so funny because when you took your shirt off and were going to get into the water you said "nono I don't want anyone to look at me" it was so hysterical!! You sounded just like your daddy! Pierce I loved getting to know and see all the different characteristics of you and Hayden out in the woods. We had no distractions no tv no internet just us as a family. It was wonderful. Daddy said that every morning for breakfast your food of choice was marshmellows. Honestly I think being out there was the first time you ever even had a marshmellow. It made me laugh!

Both of you are so wonderful and I am so happy and blessed to be your mama. Pierce you especially cannot wait for baby sister to come who's name is now Kylie LOL. You are so excited about holding and feeding her and talk about her all the time. Hayden I'm afraid when baby Kylie comes it will rock your world but please know you are atill one of the loves of my life and I love you even more than I did yesterday every day. Both of you please never forget! Well I llove you tons and thank you both for keeping me on my toes!

Pierce 37 months and hayden you are 18 months

Pierce let me just put some of the funny things you say on here. You talk so much and you say and do the funniest things. I love you more than anything.

-"Mom you look booutiful.. I like you" (this is my favorite)

- Mom: "Pierce what is mommy having?" P: "A baby sister her name is Lila" :-)

- The other day I was changing in a dressing room in front of you and I took my bra off you yelled: "mommy your boobies fell off put them back on!!"

- "Mommy your my favorite"

- You know a few bible verses. I love hearing you recite them :-)

- We prayed the other night and you thanked God for "Mommy, Daddy, Hayden, Nana, X, Z, your Mimi's AND YOUR TV!! LOL" You didn't mention your Poppies but you liked your tv! It was soo funny.

- You always tell us how much you love us. I love it!

- Mom: "Pierce your my baby" Pierce: "I'm not a baby I'm a big boy Hayden's a baby!"

- Pierce you are growing up and you now don't fight us and you let us brush your teeth twice a day. I'm so proud of you.

Pierce you really are the light of my life and we adore you. Thank you for being part of my life we are so blessed and we would do anything for you. I love you Pierce man!

Hayden oh my goodness my little bam bam, my little big rolly polly! You are the funniest little thing. You and your brother fight quite a bit but your funny none the less. You are saying many wors and repeat the things we say. You adore balloons! You and your brother fight over them constantly but you love them. You and Pierce love to wrestle and it gets pretty crazy in here now adays. You have discovered that you LOVE raisens. You could eat a whole container full. I have to take them away from you all the time and its a fight but you love them! :-) Hayden you also love to have your teeth brushed that makes me happy also. We adore both you boys sooo much and we love you. i am so thankful to have you both in my life and I hope and pray that when your baby sister comes you will love her as much as you love your brother.. hopefully ya'll will fight less but love her none the less!

I love you big boys!

Christmas, 3 years old, 17 months and a new year!

Boys you are growing right before my eyes. I can't believe how much time has flown by these last few years. We celebrated Christmas this year with all your family. Christmas eve's was with mommys family and christmas day with daddys. It was so nice. Pierce you got so many nice gift and so did Hayden. Pierce you LOVED opening your gifts. Every gift was such a treasure to you. You wanted to play with it immediatly and you always hugged whoever gave it to you and said thankyou. Hayden you weren't too intersted in opening your gifts but I'm sure next year you will be.

On Christmas morning when Daddy got home we opened gifts just the four of us. Daddy got you Pierce a nerf gun and I think that was one of your favorites. You love shooting it allthough I think you are too young for something liek that. I'm afraid you will shoot someones eye out. You are very good withit though and never aim it at anybody. It was so nice just being a family of four on Christmas morning. Also a few days before chirstmas as I was wrapping gifts you wanted to help. So I told you to go get a gift for Hayden out of the playroom that you thought he would like to open. So you got a rollercoaster bead toy and we wrapped it. I think it was Haydens favorite. I thought it was so sweet that thats what you had picked for your brother. I love you boys sooo much.

Pierce you also turned 3 years old. You knew it was Jesus's birthday and that right after it would be your birthday. I have to say turning 3 has been good for you. I think you have matured so much over the last few weeks. You are so sweet and so loving you obey more than you used to. You want to please me and daddy. You are just such a nice boy and I love this age. I am so thankful to say goodbye to the terrible 2's and hello to the terrific 3s!!

Pierce and Hayden you boys are just a hoot when your together. You boys love to wrestle and I just laugh so hard. I think it is hysterical watching you boys tumble around on the ground. You both love it. You both also love music and playing music and dancing. I love watching you boys interact and love on eachother. For the most part you boys are sweet and full of trouble together.

Hayden you are now 17 months old. We got your first real big boy haircut. It almost killed me. You did so good but honestly I loved your long curly hair even if nobody else did. It broke my heart but everyone now says how cute and handsome you look. You look like a totally different boy. Like a big boy its soo crazy. You were so good though when we got your hair cut and you just smiled and grinned. I cant believe how much hair you have on your head still. You definatly have Daddy's thick hair and brother has mommys thin hair. Hayden you are also full of fun these days. The only thing thats weird lately is you wake up everynight at 12:30 and you want to be in bed with me. i've given in recently and I need to stop you need to sleep in your own bed silly boy. I just think you like the extra snuggles from your mama.

So on new years eve we went to visit daddy at the fire station. It was sooo beautiful out and we just sat out there and played for a few hours. It was so nice and a great way to spend the day. On new years day when Daddy got home we all went fishing at a little creek than Daddy and Pierce went for a hike. I love days like these. I love you boys so much and I can't wait to see what the future brings and what tomorrow holds. Please don't change to much little boy! Love your mama!

Pierce you are 35 months and Hay you are 16 Months!

Oh how the time has flown. You boys are such a blessing to my life and I am so thankful for you two. I wanted to remember that I found out I was pregnant with your newest little brother or sister about 3 weeks ago. Pierce you will continue to be the best big brother I'm sure and Hay you will be a great one also. The other day I asked you Pierce what was in my belly and you told me "2 babies" I said hopefully only 1 and we will find out in a week.

Pierce these last few weeks you have grown into the sweetest little boy. I am so proud of how kind, sweet and how much more you are obeying these days. As long as you are rested and getting enough sleep you are such a sweetie. when I tell you I love you you always say "I love you to Mommy. Pierce makes Mommy Happy" And you know what Pierce you are right. You make me so happy and feel so blessed. I don't deserve such a kind sweet boy like you.

You adore your Hayden. You tell me all the time wheres my Hayden I love my Hayden. You can be very mean to him also but most of the time you are very kind.

Hayden you are such a joy as well. You like to have screaming fights with your brother and you always start it. You are so funny. You have quite the little attitude also now adays but your so much fun to be with. You are a snuggle bug and a little sweetie. Here are the words you are saying, "Elephant, mama, dada, all done, more, bye bye and sometiems other words but I can't remember right now.

Hayden you keep us smiling and we love you so much. You are such a nice boy and I am blessed to have you as well. Daddy keeps calling you the middle child now but you know what you will be ok. You are just as loved as your other siblings and are sooo special to us.

I love you boys and I am so thankful for you both!!

Pierce you are 34 months and Hayden you are 15 months!

Wow has time flown. You both are such wonderful, beautiful boys. I am so thankful that you are both mine. I'm sorry you arent' getting seperate post but mama has been very busy! Hayden you are quite the walker and Pierce you are quite the talker! You both keep me on my toes by the second. Hayden you are repeating very well now! We have lots of new additions to our family. We have a kitty named Frankie you both love her and we have 3 chicks! So that brings our family to 9 if you include Lady and the human family! LOL You both love all the animals.

Pierce you refuse to nap most days and the other day we thought for sure you were sleeping for a good 2 hours we were so proud. We heard some noice and came in and walked into your room. Low and behold you had gotten ahold of a sharpie. You had drawn all over your walls, covered both of your legs entirely, and you colored all the faces in your princess book. It was a huge mess. Every one laughs when I tell them the story. I am still painting your walls! AHHHH Son you make me nuts sometimes.

Hayden you are walking and running. You are the funniest little boy. I cut your bangs because I was afraid you couldn't see and thats why you keep tripping. Daddy hates them he was so mad and said now you look like a little girl. I think you look perfect so fewy on him!

So we went trick or treating. You both wore super hero capes that auntie michelle made you. You were both adorable. As we were going you Mimi went with us and on our way home she tripped and fell right on top of you both who were in the wagon. It was the funniest thing I had ever expieranced. Ya'll didn't think it was funny but I did. Pierce you loved running up to the doors and yelling trick or treat. You did it perfect.

I love both you boys so very very much you keep me on my toes and i wouldn't trade anything to have my life differently. I love you boys!!!

Love your mama!
