The Beach!!

Mother's day was our first of many trips to the beach this season. We went with our small group from church and a few other other friends. I couldn't have asked for a more relaxing, fun day. My little man loves the beach and is so content to hang out there for hours. Hayden- I want you to know I feel so privileged and blessed that God has given me you to raise into His likeness.

we have a goose nest and are anxiously waiting for them to hatch. hayden is very entertained by all the wildlife and water. we have many conversations about the ducks, turtles, squirrels, geese, birds, fish and boaters outside our windows.

So here's my attempt to catch up. The last month has been CRAZY, so the blog fell to the side. Since we have found a house, moved and mostly unpacked I am trying to get caught up on things. We are starting to feel settled in our new place. The next post(hopefully in a few days) will be pics of our new house. Enjoy this awesome spring time weather!

Celebrating Hayden's 2nd birthday with our PA friends. I don't have many pics from his birthday since I stole my mom's camera for the weekend and forgot to download them before she left. But he had a great birthday and tons of fun with Grandpa and Grandma Martin.

Hanging with the big kids-can't believe he's 2!

Posing for the camera....he thinks he's so funny

Getting a buzz from daddy

Giving rides on his Harley

Child/baby dedication Sunday at church

Easter egg hunt and picnic with our church, unfortunately we didn't get a good family picture:(

His latest thing, he loves to color

We finally got some snow! Hayden could hardly eat breakfast Sat. morning because of all the action going on outside our windows from the neighborhood kids. Our 11 year old neighbor said this was the fourth time he's seen snow in his life, yeah he was pretty stoked! We had so much fun and Hayden loved it. He actually cried when it was time to come in even though his feet were soaked due to not having snow boots.

View from our porch Sat. morning Checking it all out

He needed some help getting up

Woods behind our house....beautiful!

To give you an idea how much we got

Love this pic when it's a bit bigger
