Hayden and Santa

On Monday night we took all the kids to get pics with Santa. At first Hayden was a little nervous, but he shed no tears so I was relieved. Anyway here are some pics!!

Zoo Lights

On Friday night we took Hayden to Zoo lights!! He loved it, it was so cute. They had tons of lights and he got to see lots of animals! It was super fun, thanks ash and chad for going with us.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! We did, it was great being with family, eating a LOT of yummy food and of course doing lots of shopping! All of my favorite things! We survived black friday this year. We started off at Wal-mart and I was so nervous because we usually always start at target, so I didnt know the ropes as well but, I was able to get all the stuff I had anxiety over. However, I got the assignment of starting out in the toy department and I was a little afraid for my life. People are absolutly nuts!! But, it was another successful day!

Family PIctures

So, it seems like both times I am prego my mom has this great idea to get our family pictures done!! Gee Thanks, But I guess in light of my round face and big belly they turned out alright! Here are just a few they took. They did a wonderful job with a group of our size(18 1/2) is our count these days! Anyway, tell me what you think!!

For some reason these ones came in really small!! Sorry!

Kidney stones + Pregnancy = DEATH

So, last week I had a major scare!! I was having major pressure and contracting, I will save you many details! But, of course I couldnt get through to my dr. but, I was in serious pain. I finally had a nurse call me back(on Wednesday) and tell me to rush to labor and delivery and be checked! WHAT!! I am only 23.5 weeks!! Needless to say I was freakin out, I couldnt get a hold of Jon at work and I really wanted him to take me so all I could do was wait until he got home. We went into labor and delivery and they hooked me up checked the bade and he was fine, kickin away. But, I was having contractions after several not fun tests they decided I had a kidney stone. So, they sent me home and told me because I am prego all I can take for the pain is tylenol. By, friday I was feeling better but didnt think I passed it so I went and had an ultrasound in radialogy at the hospital and then to my doctor. He told me I passed it (Probably before I even went to labor and delivery!!) and I was doing fine! I was a little ticked that I had to go through all of this only for it to already be over but, at least I know the baby is fine and healthy! I was just afraid they would put me on bed rest which would totally suck with the holidays coming most especially "Black Friday"!

World's Biggest Slacker!

Sorry, I have had intentions of posting Halloween pics but have just been a huge slacker! Here is a pic of Hayden, he loved trick-or-treating and dragged jon all around the neighborhood.

Little Brother's Name

Ok, I am having such a hard time with Little Brother's name!! With Hayden it seemed like the minute I found out it was a boy, it was Hayden!! With this one we have no idea.. there are several names we like but nothing seems right what do you think?? Just a little back ground on each....
Noah- I like this name, it is different just trying to convince Jon!
Hudson- We like however, do we want a Hayden and a Hudson... are they too close?? This is Jon's number 1!!
Davis- I love!! again Jon is not on the boat!
Ian- Jon's choice, he has always wanted an Ian
Colin- Is a family name from Jon's side of the family, so I like that factor!

Anyway, again we have no idea??? Your input please!!

Preparing Hayden

So, I have one more concern! I have been trying to talk to Hayden about having a little brother in our house. Well, first of all I think he thinks we are getting a dog because his favorite movie is Mulan, and "Little Brother" is the name of her dog. So, how do you prepare a 2 1/2 year old for another child? Everytime I talk about "Little Brother" he either ignores me, or says "No"! I have tried to tell him I have a baby in my tummy, but he says.."No, Hayden has a baby in my tummy!" Obviously it is time for him to have a buddy around because, I think he is getting far too comfortable being the only child in the house! Anyway, anyone have any advise??

Lost Camera!!!

I know it has been so long since I have posted anything, I really dont have any excuses! Life is good at the Hedman home. Last weekend we went to Logan to watch the BYU! It was fun to change environments however, the game was a bummer! We won, but they played really junkie! I am just going crazy because I lost my camera last week and have been looking everywhere for it! Other than that life is good!

IT"S A BOY!!!!

Just a quick post, but we went to the ultrasound yesterday and it is a BOY!!! I was truely shocked because I thought for sure it was a girl! But, we are so excited because he is healthy and everything looks good so far! He was certainly proud to be a boy, so watch out because two Hedman boys! GULP!!

Ultrasound

So I am haivng my ultrasound next Wednesday! My friend in my ward is a ultrasound tech, and said she can tell us next week! I am excited and nervous! Hurry and get your votes in we only have a few more days! GUlP!

Seattle

On Wednesday we went to Seattle, we went to watch the BYU game and the Yankees game(they were playing the Mariners). We went with Jon's family, we rented a suburban so we could all ride together which was definatly a help with Hayden for the 13.5 hour drive, with a little help from the DVD player he did really well. We drove all day wednesday and got there wednesday night. On Thursday morning we went to the Chittem Locks which connect the boats from Puget Sound to Lake Washington, it was neat to watch and Hayden loved the boats. They also have a Salmon hatchery, where you can go underground and see the fish in the water. Hayden loved seeing all the huge salmon!


Thursday afternoon we went to the Seattle Center, which is where the Space Needle is. It was a beautiful day and super clear so the view was amazing on top. Hayden loved riding the fast elevator to the top! After we took the monorail downtown and walked around for a little while. We took a bus that was underground, it was kind of freaky but cool. Jon loved all the means of transportation and was bound to have us try all of them! After we took the monorail back to the city center and went to the Sci-Fi museum and the Music Museum. Jon was in heaven and Hayden saw all the guitars and kept saying "I want to play guitar hero" we have him brainwashed!

On Friday we had a busy day, we packed in as many activities as we could because the trip was so short. We went to the museum of flight, Pike's Place market, the Aquarium and harbor tour and last but not least the baseball game!

We took Hayden to the aquarium on the bay and he loved it! He really loved the sea lions, he sat and watched them swim forever, he was laughing hysterically at them playing!

We went on a harbor cruise on Puget Sound, it was fun to hear facts about the city and see a better view of the skyline. Hayden loved being on the big boat, except when he kept trying to throw his toy whale into the water.

We went to the Boeing Museum of flight, it had full size airplanes and hands on planes. Hayden thought it was so cool to sit in the airplanes and push all the buttons!

On Friday night we went to the Mariner vs. Yankees game! I had never been to a MLB game so it was a blast. The stadium was huge and we had really good seats!(Thanks steve) Hayden really didnt move a muscle, unfortunatly the Yankees lost (blow out). But, we still had a lot of fun!

On Saturday we went to the football game! It was a nail bitter, but the ending was awesome! I love pac 10 refs! Anyway, it was awesome and we were among thousands of BYU fans which was awesome! Hayden obviously was pooped by the end! But, he loved cheering and singing the fight song, again we have him brainwashed! The only downer was it took us 2 hours to get to the freeway from our car! I will never complain about traffic at LaVell again! Go COUGS!!

Sorry, this is such a long post! But, I hope you enjoy!

Camping

I know it has been a long time since I have posted! Life has just been crazy school started again and pregnacy has been rough but, I am finally feeling a little better. Anyway, a few weeks ago we went camping with my family. We went to Fish Lake, those of you that know me well know how much I LOVE camping(yeah, I really HATE it) But, it ended up being a lot of fun. We rode four wheelers, went to the lake and just hung out! It really was a lot of fun, Hayden loved it and was so dirty when we got home. Here are a few pics, I tried not to take too many cause I looked real good camping!

Erika and I went on thursday night to see Mama Mia and I loved it!! It is so cute, a great chick flick! I loved how cheesy it was. The singing and dancing were amazing! Thanks, erika for going with me since jon wouldnt! Anyway, I highly recommend this movie!

Camping, well sort of

This weekend we went camping overnight in Big Cottonwood canyon. Jon's work had it's summer work party there. Who goes camping for a work party? anyway, it turned out being really fun! Hayden loved playing in the dirt, after about 5 minutes he was completly covered. For some reason he kept putting rocks on his head! Wierdo! It was great they had really good food and for the kids they brought a pinata, Hayden wasn't to sure about it, he kept looking at me like are you sure that I can hit this? He was confused because I always tell him he can only hit balls. Anyway it was really fun to take hayden, he was scared to death of the cipmunks and would run and scream everytime he saw one. It was really funny. We found out how much Hayden talks/cries in his sleep and he wiggles like crazy, but after a rough night of sleep I was ready to pack up and head home in the morning.
