Sissy was not so sure about the whole thing quite yet. Sharing might be difficult in the beginning!












Sissy was very protective of her Mommy. When two nurses came in to check on Mommy and baby she immediately started to scold them and tell them to leave her mommy alone! It was the funniest thing!












Whoever said hospital food is gross is crazy. This stuff is awesome!!!!!

Nyla was SO excited to meet her brother for the first time!!!













She is looking forward to being the big sister again!

Meet the newest addition to the Hayden Family!
Hello Christopher Mark! Mommy and Christopher are doing great.

















Christopher Mark Hayden was born on 10/27/2010 at 8:51am. He weighed in at 7lbs 90z and was 20" long.













We even got our first smile out of him!

Lizzy got dressed all by herself the other day! What a big girl! She sure has a great sense of fashion.

Here is half of our group on our first field trip in ABC school. We went to the local Fish Hatchery to watch the fish jump and come up the stream. I never realized just how ugly some of those Salmon really are! And they are big too! We got splashed a few times as the fish were jumping about in the fish ladders.

Here the kids are feeding the growing trout. These are, um, incubator type pools to hold the fish until they get big enough to release in the wild. Those fish went crazy when they threw in fish food.

Here is a viewing window at the fish ladders. You can see the size of these guys and just how ugly they are. The top part is open so that is how we got splashed a few times as we were looking at them through the windows. It was fun learning about how the salmon are preserved this way. It is actually a huge city celebration every year but we've never made it yet as it has fallen on General Conf. weekend last year and this year. Maybe next year we'll go the the parade!

I guess when you are really tired, you can sleep anywhere.

These are the amazing flowers that Matt got for me for my birthday. They were waiting for me at the hair salon where I had my hair done for my special day. It was sooo much fun having an evening out to myself. I can't remember the last time I wandered around a mall all by myself with out kids in tow. Matt is such a special man and so thoughtful. He made my day such a treat.

This is a piece of drift wood that Nyla picked up at Rialto Beach this summer. Daddy loved it so much that we took it home with us. It was a fun project for him to work on because it already looked like a snake to begin with. He looked on-line forever to find the right design he wanted and gave himself a little project to work on for a weekend. I'm not sure who likes it more! Nyla or Daddy.

It's the perfect walking stick height for her! She sneaks it out of hiding every chance she gets!

Nyla's Cinderella dress

Nyla is so excited to wear her dress for Halloween! She loves to twirl and play in it. Mommy doesn't let her play in it very often yet. I figured I'd at least let her get to Halloween and wear it new and then she can play in it!

As I've had clients come over for fittings for the other dresses I've been making lately, Nyla will come in and show them her dress too. Any time she sees me sewing she always asks, "Mommy! Are you making a pretty dress?" Both of the girls are quite fascinated with my sewing scraps and stuff. They love to "make" their own dresses and pretty things out of what ever they can find in my sewing trash.

Here are the "glass slippers" that aunt Breanna sent us that fit perfect!

Cinderella, going home. No glass slipper left behind. She should have had ankle straps like Nyla's shoes.
