Mmmmmm.....corn on the cob!

July 22, 2007
We were enjoying some corn on the cob this weekend,
and Hayden wanted in on the action!!
Now that he is learning to chew
with all of his wonderful new teeth, this
was BIG fun!
What has not been fun, is Hayden seems to
be getting teeth number 12, 13, 14
all at the same time.....it's a
good thing they forget how much it hurts!

Goin' to the Zoo!!

July 15, 2007
We had a beautiful day at the zoo today......
but man, was it a scorcher!!
It felt like it was about 35 degrees!
We got to see lots of animals, and Hayden loved
the flamingos and birds the best.
(Mommy's favorites were the giraffes
and the new baby tiger.)
We stopped for lunch in the park, which
gave Hayden a chance to stretch his legs,
and us to have a nice family photo!

We pulled out of the parking lot blasting the A/C,
and Hayden was asleep in about
a minute and a half!!
That's a busy 3 hours for a little guy!

What an angel.....a very sweaty angel!!

YEE HAW Stampede 2007!

July 9, 2007

Ralph and I took Hayden to his first Stampede!

We were only there for a couple of hours,

but we had fun, ate traditional Stampede food,

and saw lots of cool stuff!!

Baby's first corndog!

Horses, cows and pigs....oh my!

I wanna go on the bumper cars!!

Daddy played his annual game of whac-a-mole.....
and won.....as usual!

Yummy mini donuts!!
Hayden was covered in sugar...
he was a MESS!

Hayden has been trying so hard to walk......
and today, Mommy caught it on film!
The video isn't great because I took the footage
with the camera, (I had to act very quickly!)
but I was so excited that he took
so many steps on his own!!
Now, he just has to build up some courage,
and he'll be running in NO TIME!!

And by the way.....I noticed afterward
that he was walking with a popsicle stick
in his mouth. Great. I would not normally
promote such a 'careless' activity, or
put my child in such 'danger'....
all for the sake of a photo-op!
