Christmas Snowman!!!

Since we live in Las Vegas (aka. Hot/Warm Desert), Hayden does not get to see snow, and when it snowed in Vegas last week he was so excited and made a snowman with Johnny in the park. Unfortunately I was very ill at that day and did not take pictures. The whole drive up Hayden could not wait to make a snowman. So Uncle Grant made a snowman with Hayden today! Here are the proud pictures of Hayden "helping" make his snowman, and his finished product.

Hayden meets the Mall Santa for the FIRST TIME!!

We took Hayden to get his regular pictures done, and we passed Santa. Well, of course we had to stop so Hayden could tell him what he wanted for Christmas. I was a little worried whether he would decide at the last minute that he didn't' want to sit on a strangers lap. But to my surprise and unlike Hayden (he has seemed to inherit my initial shyness around new people) he was very comfortable with going up and asking to sit on his lap. We could not hear all that he said but was very serious in what he was telling Santa, as if it was a business conversation. It made me chuckle to myself. When he was finally done, the Santa stopped us and chuckled to himself and let us know that Hayden had told him that he would leave out Mac n' Cheese for him on Christmas Eve, not cookies. We laughed at that, and thanked Santa for letting us know. I thought even though its not close to Christmas quite yet, here is the pictures of Hayden and Santa.

Trick or Treat

Here are some pic's of Hayd when we took him out the night before Halloween (since this year was his dad's).

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Here are some pictures of Hayd riding his quad he got for his birthday in Beatty at Johnny's mothers house (Hayd calls her G-mom). He has come a long way, too long in my opinion!! But....that's just me being a overly cautions mother!

Pumkin Patch!

We ventured to the Pumkin patch this past weekend with our family and friends in Las Vegas. We had a really good time with Hayden and he was very excited to ride the carnival rides and pick his own pumkin, and ride a pony!

Look at the View!

Well....This week has been a very busy week for me. My work had a press event for some of the new tenants that signed. For those of you who don't know what I do.....I work for Executive Home Commercial, they are a Housing and Commercial development company. The Development I am working with is a multi billion high end retail, and restaurant development. The way to compare it is Rodeo drive in Beverly Hills for Las Vegas. I am the assistant/everything for the Executive Vice President and the Vice President of Leasing for the Tivoli Village Project. Anyways..... The "mother" company built this AMAZING two high rise towers. That are condos which range from a couple hundred thousand to 25 million. Which is unfathomable to me!! The press event was held in the 25 million dollar penthouse, and these are some of the photos I took from my phone, technology is amazing!! The buildings going up accross the street is the devopment!

Up to date!

So here is the low-down of everything that has been going on with us and new things that have happened! Johnny received the 'ok that the bank has approved the closing of the house, so it should close this week! Which is a huge relief for both of us, mostly the stress on him, paying a huge amount for the previous house payment that the previous owner was paying so the house wouldnt go into fore-closure! We are both thankfull that we were able to get it both for a HUGE inconvience and it is the house we really both want to live in for a very very long time. Hayden is 3 1/2, and very active. He loves to talk and play "spider-man"! He loves quads and motorcycles. He loves riding his quad, but unfortunatly it is very hot in Vegas, so he has to wait another month or two to ride in the desert. He loves to play hide and seek, he also loves to tell you he is hiding, which in turn lets you know where he is! Hayden also was able to get a dog earlier this year, and I told him to name her what he wanted. I did not think that eating at the time would be a mistake. Her name is "Poptart". She is a very passive dog, as he loves to carry her everywhere. We took a vacation to Huntington Beach earlier this year, which is Hayden's favorite place! He loved to play on the ocean, and we were very fortunate to get a good price on a hotel on the beach, so he was able to play all day at the ocean. I work for a development company called Executve Home Commercial. I am part of leasing a High end retail (Rodeo Drive for Las Vegas). Johnny works for Rebel Oil in Las Vegas, and is over the Maintance department for all the stores and has worked there for 10 years now (it is where I used to work, that is how we met 8 years ago).

The Start

Hey Everyone,
I have started this, since Ruth and Grant and My Momma have decided to blogg due to being sooo far away from each other.
