Spring Break 2009

For Spring Break, we headed on Carnival Cruise Lines to Mexico! We visited Progreso and Cozumel. Hayden had a BLAST and loved being on the ship- eventhough I was scared to death that he was going to fall off. Here are some photos:

this is a photo of hayden in our stateroom- one of the only places I let him go without holding on to him!

In Cozumel- SWEATING- It was so HOT!

Looking off the boat from the top deck- where the splash park is located. We are in the port of Progreso.

Splishing and Splashing with Nana.

Here is Hayden with my EMPTY strawberry daquri glass. Nope, Hayden - eventhough there is no drinking age, which Kristie was well aware of- Mommy still has rules! No Drinking for Hayden!

He really enjoyed the fact that you don't have to be in a carseat! He loved riding on the bus.

Hayden is dressed in his LSU pj's ready for a late night show on the ship.

The girls, minus Kate- She opted for a new washer and dryer instead! She better get to buying those!

Hayden and his cup of ice! He sure loved being a big boy and having his own cup.


We had a blast! I still have two other blogs to do that came before this! Egg Day at the Broussard's and Zoo Day with Tiff! Those will be coming soon!

Until then,

MBS Egg Hunt & Carwash

Hayden went on his Egg hunt and found some eggs. We only got a few, but he found a very special one!!! The golden egg!! Since he found it, he got a huge purple plush bunny. It was as tall as him. After all the egg hunting, we sat down and had an Icee treat. He loved it and it got VERY messy!

Hayden and Brett (the best guys in my life) did a great thing for me. They washed my truck!!!! and had a great time doing it.

Thank you boys!

Until next time,

Easter Egg Hunt

We went on an Easter Egg Hunt today at church. Hayden had such a good time. He picked up his eggs and threw them into his basket. Once he saw all the kiddos around him doing it, he was ready to go. It was great practice for the big day.... Easter! After all the eggs were gone (which took about 1 minute!) We went under the pavilion and opened all the eggs to see what he got. Candy! Lots of it, too! His daddy will sure be happy about that.

More Easter Posts are sure to come!

Spaghetti, Vaseline, & Big Bird

Hayden sure does LOVE spaghetti. He really loves it when I let him eat it like a big boy. He ate all of it. Well, some did end up in his lap. None landed on the floor. He used to not be much of a spaghetti fan when he was younger. I guess now it's more FUN to eat!

Speed and Hayden checking out BIG BIRD and the rest of the Sesame Street crew at the live show. They had a blast. Hayden stood in his chair or on my legs and danced away. He clapped at the end of each song and dance routine. He loved it. Giggles and more giggles came from this child that night. It was great to bring him. I remember going as a little girl. It was special for me to bring my baby there. Along for the ride were all of his first cousins, Nana, and Tikki.

The pictures you've all been waiting for! The vaseline incident. I was taking a bath not two feet away from this sneaky little one! I was quietly reading as I glanced over to see why he was being so quiet. That's when I called for Brett to bring the camera. He took the vaseline out of the drawer and pasted it all in his hair. This child doesn't put things in his mouth like all other babies. No, he puts it in his hair! (I guess that is better than in his mouth, though.)

We tried everything to get it out: shampoo, corn starch, dawn dish washing soap, baby powder. Everything! It is STILL not out! He is sleeping with baby powder in his hair tonight. Tomorrow morning I am going to try noxema- as per my grandmom's request. We shall see?????

Until next time,

* Special Prayers sent to cousin Brooklyn. She is in the hospital with dehydration. Other tests are also being run. We pray that test results come back great and she is out by tomorrow.

She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy!

On Friday, March 20th we drove over to MiMi's house for her birthday. Hayden got to go for a ride with his Paw Paw Keno while he was there. It was his own little amusement park! He had so much; he didn't want to get off. He loved the riding lawn mower. He went in circles for quite a while. Hayden had a BLAST!!!!

He didn't want to get off! Mi Mi put him on the rocking horse. He wasn't too sure about it! I think he still needs a little more practice before he tries that again.

Hayden was a bit afraid of the dogs when we first arrived at Paw Paw and Mi Mi's house, but he warmed up to them quickly. Before we left, he was giving them kisses.

My cousins from Texas came into visit. It was great seeing them. I'm sure they were ready to go home to a quiet house once they were done visiting with us. LOL!!

Until next time,

Play Time

Hayden has been playing really hard lately. He played in the kitchen with the pots and pans. He played outside under the car port with Tikki. They drew pictures with sidewalk chalk. (that photo isn't working quite right, but I'll post it soon) He even went to the mall and played on the slide. Hayden decided that he wanted to go head first down all the slides (such a little daredevil).

Until next time,
Kim & Hayden

Hospital Visit

Last Tuesday night Hayden was feeling VERY bad. He started vomiting and wouldn't stop. First thing, the next morning I took him to the doctor. He told me to keep him hydrated. All day Hayden slept. Everytime I woke him up to give him pedialyte or food, he tried a little bit and threw it up. He couldn't keep anything down. On Thursday morning, I was either going to take him to the doctor or ER because I knew something was wrong. He wasn't acting like himself. He wouldn't walk, and could barely hold his head up.

My sister convinced me that the ER was the best place to go. We went straight there and he was in fact dehydrated. The nurse started an IV and gave him some meds for his fever. We stayed there all day long. The doctor decided to let us go home when he saw that Hayden was feeling better.

Now- exactly a week later-Hayden is FINALLY back to normal! Thank God.

Until our next adventure,

Kim & Hayden
