(Our computer is still in the shop so unfortunately no pictures yet) Happy Birthday Sam! Sam turns 41 Today! Wow that's old! (insert picture here) I could sit here and name off 41 things that we love about Sam. But that could take all day, and how do I just pick 41? Sam has filled our lives with laughter, kindness, love and stability. (insert picture here) Happy Birthday Sam!! We love You!!

Callie was getting ready for school and started telling me about a dream she had last night. She said... I went out to eat with a boy and I was sixteen and I put on some music and then we kissed. It was in my dream mom..It was in my dream mom.. (She kept repeating the last part because I was looking at her funny) Mom I was also sixteen! she exclaimed She also informed me that the boy had a name... Xander What a funny girl! But should I worry that she is already dreaming of kissing boys?

Friday the 13th... Was a great day for us! It however did have some ups and downs. We started our day at Cabela's mostly walking around dreaming of all the fun camping and cooking gadgets they have. We almost walked out without spending a dime but Callie worked her charm on her father and ended up with a shirt and hat. Then off to Walmarts... we ended up with a few goodies like free lotion (w/coupons) and my favorite item we splurged on was the vacuum cleaner. (Our old one was falling apart... literally) We loaded our goodies and to Big Lot's we headed to look for beds. Sam and I have been bed less for about a year. Our water bed had sprung a leak and for awhile we slept on air matresses until we popped them.lol. We also slept on our couch(hide a bed) for awhile.Fun Times!! Big Lot's had a great sale where you buy the mattress get the foundation for $10 dollars they also had nice prices on bed frames. So...We walked out of their with a bed!!YEA!! (pictures to come later whe...

Andrew surprises me again with words of wisdom. We where sitting on the couch cuddling and then a couple minutes later he got a second wind and was all over me. I turned to him and said...Andrew I don't like to be man handled. Andrew turned to me and said..."Mom, I'm not a Man... I'm just a boy."

Last weekend Fawcett's Chior was asked to sing at the... Pule 'anga 'o Tonga 11th annual Asia Pacific New Year Celebration they sang two songs one being the National Anthem. After they were done singing we decided to walk around the different booths. This sweet lady was writing the kids names. We stopped at the stampin up booth and they helped us make cute tags. They assured me that anyone could do it and not to worry about messing them up. They were right!! Soo Easy!! Tasha was helping Brandon with origami. We also tried our hand at writing different languages. I have no idea what he wrote. (this was only part of a phrase) This sweet Lady saw Brandon struggling and asked if she could help him. And the last thing we did before leaving is make these cute lanterns . We had a ton of fun! and to think if it wasn't for Cody we wouldn't have had this Cultural Experience.

I just thought this was a cool picture! I have no idea what I did I thought my camera wasn't working.lol

Here is what you do:1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer 2) Select the 4th picture in the folder 3) Explain the picture 4) Tag 4 people to do the same This was hard for me because I have pictures scattered all over the place so... I am going to post 4 pictures to keep with the 4 theme. This picture was taken at Point Defiance Park June 2008 we were having a picnic and then family pictures were to be taken. And as you can see we had 3 or 4 camera's with us and the picture takeing started well before our picnic was done. You can't see her but my mom was there which made our picnic! November 2008 Our family participated in the Multi-Stake Christmas Carol which took allot of work but WELL worth it. Tasha is the only Hayward in this photo. 7/15/2006 Woodin Reunion Cousins playing.
