Birthday Part 1- Chuck E Cheese

Thursday night, for Tayson's 2nd birthday, we decided to take him to Chuck E Cheese. He loves that place right now and could really care less about having any tokens to play the games, he just wants to run from one thing to another. He loves to pretend he is driving all of the cars!! My mom, dad, sisters and in-laws all came with us. We all had so much fun! I guess because it was a Thursday night and it was FREEZING (like 10 degrees) outside, no one else was really there so we pretty much had the place to ourselves!


WOW!! Look at all of these tickets I won!


Patiently waiting for Chuck E to sketch my picture!!

"Here dad, let me show you how the pros play skeeball!"


Tayson is obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse right now so my parents got him all of the characters. He LOVES them and wants them to come everywhere we go!

He also LOVES the Wonder Pets so they also got him a Ming Ming stuffed animal!

This birthday cake that we took to Chuck E Cheese was really more for daddy. His favorite cake is just a cheap chocolate cake from Wal-Mart with whipped icing. So...we made him happy and got his favorite cake for this night!

Happy 2nd Birthday Tayson!!

Today is my sweet little angle babys' 2nd Birthday. It makes me just want to cry, thinking it has been 2 years already. They have been, without a doubt, the best 2 years of my life. He brings me so much happiness and joy and I truly cannot remember what my life was like before we had him.

He is talking so much now and his little personality is just so much fun! Justin and I are constantly laughing at the things that he does and all that he picks up on.

We are heading to Chuck E Cheese tonight for a little birthday fun and then his big birthday party is Saturday night so there will be pictures to come!!

Tayson,

Daddy and I love you more than words can express!! You are the light of our lives and we look forward to spending everyday of the rest of our lives, with you!! We hope you have a great 2nd birthday lil' buddy!!!

Love Always,
Daddy and Mommy

Baby Update

I really can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going by! When I stop and think about everything that I have left to do, I feel so guilty because I am positive that by this point in my pregnancy with Tayson, it was already done. Man...having a little one around sure changes everything! I went to the doctor on Monday for my 28 week check up and he said that everything looks great! I had to have my rhogam injection while I was there, which I really don't remember it burning this bad when I had it with Tayson. Amazing how quickly we forget everything! I have gained....28 lbs. so I am right on track with my 55 lb. weight gain with Tayson!! Yeah me!! I go for my last monthly check up on the 9th of Febuary and then I will start going every 2 weeks. It is so hard for me to believe that it is coming up so quickly.

The nursery is coming along so I will try and post pictures before too long! Justin just finished painting last week.

Other than that, everything is going great! I have lots of posts that I need to do but life is just crazy busy and everytime I sit down to do one of them, I get sidetracked!

Merry Christmas!

From our family to yours, we hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!

Baby Hathorn is...

We went for our ultrasound today and found out that mommy is going to be WAY outnumbered at our house because we are having another BOY!!! Although I would really love to have a little girl, I am excited about Tayson having a little brother that he can play with! The baby looks great and weighs about 9 oz. right now. Now we just have to try and come up with some boy names!!

Tayson's 2nd Halloween!

This year Tayson was Kung Fu Panda for Halloween. Well...at least that was the costume that my mom made for him. He really wasn't into getting dressed up in a costume and he had a meltdown anytime we tried to put it on him. We finally got him to wear it long enough to go to Grandma and Papa H's house and Grandma and Papa's house. After that, the costume was history!! When we left my mom and dad's house, we met Ryan, Amber & Kaid for dinner and then headed out to Trick-or-Treat! Kaid and Tayson seemed to have a good time going from house to house but after about 7 houses, they were done! Here are a few of the pictures that I managed to get while he was chasing the kitties at Justin's mom and dad's house.



I hope that everyone had a Happy Halloween too!

Halloween Party at Mother's Day Out

On Friday afternoon, Taysons Mother's Day Out class had a Halloween party. We had so much fun!! Most of the kids were dressed in their costumes but since getting Tayson to wear his costume was a bit of an issue, I decided it wasn't worth it for the party. We went Trick-or-Treating around the church and the kids got lots of goodies! Then we went back to his classroom and the kids got to have cupcakes and juice. After their snack, they had little games and stuff set up that they could play. It was so much fun to watch him interact with his friends in his class.
