Pillow Fight!!!!

Jake burries Hayden



One of the new things our boys absolutely love doing is playing in the pile of big pillows that we have. It is fun watching them become buddies. Doesn't Jake look good in his little muscle shirt?

Kids and dogs

Happy 2nd Birthday!!!!

He was a little nervous about the hot fire but in the end showed them whose boss...

Hayden kept sneaking cupcakes... i think he ended up with 3

Jakey just happy to be apart of the party

...of course elephant cupcakes...

Definitely BOYS! Look at them drooling over the trains

Matt went in for surgery about two weeks ago. He thought he had just sprained his ankle playing basketball almost a year and 1/2 ago but it just never got better. So he finally went in and had it x-rayed and found that his ankle was actually broken. ( if you want specifics you can ask him) He decided to do surgery and now has a boot + crutches. He seems to be doing great but by the end of the day his foot is really swollen. The pic above is him right after surgery keeping his foot elevated.

This is Jake trying to be like his daddy... Man is this boy flexable

Hayden has always been really good about expressing his different emotions: This is his nervous/scared face when ever he watches the beginning of Tarzan

Look at this boy go! Jake is on the fast track to walking...Today he let go of the walker and was standing by himself for at least 30 seconds. The boy is barely 9 months! My favorite thing about this picture are the rolls hanging over Jake's ankle

Hayden LOVES elephants!...

...actually that is an understatement. Hayden just cant get enough of them!

As you can see here he ReaLLy doesn't want to leave his Baby elephant

Does any one know what this sign means? It is one of the few signs we taught him. It means more... and Hayden really wanted "MORE Elephant!"

Hogle Zoo

We were lucky enough to meet up with Grandma Ann for the day

My sweet little Jakey

Hayden has a night time ritual of kissing his animals goodnight and thought he would do the same at the zoo

Its so fun to watch Hayden and Jackson turn into such good little pals

Paul Family Reunion

5 Little grandbabies...All BOYS!  

This year the reunion was held at the Homestead resort in Midway. It will be the last BIG reunion (over 100 family members) since Great Grandma passed away in July;  she was almost 98! 

The proud Papa and his little gang

Boating with Leann and Jackson

Yes, this is Hayden eating a handful of sand!

Does this look familiar?

How do they learn these things so young? This is his first time ever having Trail mix...

When I went back to check on Hayden I found him in a deep sleep on the ground

The Three Brothers: Hayden, Jake and....Koda.
