Update :)

It's been a long time since I've had the chance to get this updated. Life has so super busy the last few months. I am going to do my best to get everyone up to date on what we've been up to. In August my little sister got married. They did the wedding and the reception in Lehi. The Saturday after their wedding there was an open house for them in Phoenix, so Hayd and I went to that. Ryan stayed home to be able to go to his dad's wedding (which was the same day as the open house.) I didnt have any pictures from Scott's wedding to post, but from what I've seen it was very nice.
Ryan and I had the chance to go to Houston to see Real Salt Lake play in the middle of September. We were at an MLS All Star party a month or so earlier and entered a raffle and won this trip from the MLS. It was all paid for flights, hotel and game tickets. Ry and I were able to take this trip by ourselves and his mom came and stayed at our house with Hayden over the weekend. It was really strange to go somewhere overnight without Hayd. Nice, relaxing weekend :)
A few weeks later Ryan's good friend from college, Kellen, got married in Minnesota. Ryan took Hayden on that trip, while I stayed home. Scott and his new wife Marsha met them there for the weekend and got to spend a lot of time with Hayden because Ryan was a groomsmen in the wedding. They took him to the Mall of America and had a great time.
The next venture was the 1st of 3 birthday parties for Hayden. Grandma Judy and Papa Shan came to visit for the weekend and had a little party at the Russo's house. We did pizza and presents and cake, of course. Hayd wasn't very into opening his gifts, but he got a lot of nice things. It was nice to have them here for the weekend and for them to be able to have a birthday party with him.
Disneyland was his 2nd bday party. We spent 3 days there and it was a blast. Hayden was absolutely amazed by it. He loved the rides (not so much waiting in line). It was so fun to experience Disneyland when you have a child. To see how happy they are and the excitement they get from the smallest things. It was awesome. We were able to go with my entire side of the family, I think there were 13 adults and 2 kids. Everyone had a great time. I was sad to leave.
His 3rd party was small....We just got together at my mom's house for dinner and did another cake. He hadnt had the chance to blow out his birthday candles yet, so we wanted him to be able to do that. He actually really liked blowing the candles out, so we had to do it twice.
We also carved pumpkins and made Halloween sugar cookies. Hayden LOVED carving the pumpkins. He wanted to help do it all. So we would carve the pieces and he would pull them out. he thought it was so cool to see the designs in the pumpkin. We made the cookies with Aunt Bri and Uncle Chris. Hayd's favorite thing was eating the dough...he didnt like decorating them as much as I thought he would, but we still had a lot of fun.
Well I think that pretty much sums up the last few months. Hopefully I can update more often so these arent so long. I posted a million pictures so enjoy. Halloween is this weekend so more pics should be coming soon.
