Growing like weeds, Falling out of a tree

Hayden's 3rd Birthday was this last weekend!

He's a happy 3!

For breakfast, he had 2 Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and a tall drink of Hot Chocolate.

He was on  the Ultimate Sugar High during Sacrament Meeting!

My sister, Julie, and her family were visiting and were laughing at his

"lack-of-sitting-still-ability"!

He cracked me up!

We told him to sit on the couch and smile for the camera.  He quickly went into "prayer mode".  He sat on the couch folded his arms and squinted out his eyes to see what was going on.  He's a little weird, like the rest of us.

He loved this gift. We got him a Mr. Potatohead.

It has 4 other heads in side and a ton of stuff!

We got him a "V-Smile" and he thought it was cool that he

now has his "own Wii". 

We hooked it up to a TV that he's had in his room for a while

but we didn't know what we'd do with it.

We finally got him to smile at the camera.

I can't believe that I forgot to document Alyssa's Birthday

It was in October.

In our home, we get to celebrate 2x in 2 days.

Curt's B'day is the day before Alyssa's

We have to make 2 cakes.

Curtis is Chocolate with Chocolate Frosting...

Alyssa's is the rainbow cake.

It's the coolest cake.

1 cake mix + 12 oz can of soda + coloring + 5 extra minutes baking=

A great cake!!!!

(It was so good, we made it again for Hayden's Bday)

Here are photos.

And falling out of tree...

Yes, I know I'm 35.

Yes, I know I'm too old to climb trees.

Yes, I did it in the name of Love

Curtis had flown a plane into a tree and I decided to try to get it out

I tried to climb the tree.

I didn't get far.

I fell and grabbed a branch on the way down.

(of course, I'm the primary pianist with the program the next day.

It seems as though everytime I've had to play in church,

I find someway stupid to injure myself.

But, I had to play and I did with a lot of ibuprophen!)

I didn't break anything, but it sure is bruised and swollen.

I hope it gets better soon.
