Thirty Weeks Old

DISCLAIMER: There are an obnoxious amount of pictures in this post of Hayden with pumpkins...BUT, I love them all and could not choose so please just bare with me. :)

Hayden and I drove back from the beach on Thursday morning and welcomed Tyler's parents into town that night. We grabbed lunch on Friday with Tyler and were excited to have Amy and Laz join us on Friday night. Saturday was Race Day so everyone headed to the track (only after a little wedding dress shopping for Aunt Amy...FUN!). H and I held down the fort and were happy to hear about all the fun that was had!!

Then on Sunday morning we went out to the pumpkin patch. Hayden had an early morning, so by the time we got everyone out the door he was already thinking about working on his first nap. We didn't get many smiles, but he rallied for the pumpkins. And who needs smiles when you have those great cheeks?!

We started by plopping him into a pile of little pumpkins...

...then moved him to sit up with the big boys!

His feet are almost always in footies...and he LOVES feet...so he was happy to see his in the hay. :)

We really tried for some shots with Mom and Dad.

Made sure to get one with KiKi and Poppy!

Then got greedy and tried for a few more with just H...

...and then THIS happened. At which point we probably should have called it a day and gone home. But instead we pushed for just a couple in his Halloween costume. 

Now, I've been envisioning a smiling cheeky monster for months now. But this makes me smile even bigger!! Poor little guy...

And then the cheeks started to peek through...

The hat is just a little big, but we will have it all fixed by Halloween.

Sweet kisses for a sleepy monster. :)

And two more quick shots with Aunt Amy and KiKi and Poppy before crashing in his car seat and taking a long nap when we got home. Totally worth the trip!!

After his nap we said goodbye to Tyler's parents and headed out to Taco Mac for some football. We sampled some beer and talked about plans for Amy and Laz's wedding. They asked our whole family to be a part of the wedding party and we are so honored to stand next to them. We can't wait for November!!

We unwound from the weekend and got ready for another jam packed week and weekend! Tyler headed to Nashville for work on Tuesday and was going straight to Talladega for the race on Thursday. My mom came to pick up Hayden on Thursday afternoon, because on Friday morning I was flying to Tampa for a weekend with my girlfriends! I enjoyed a stroll through the mall on Thursday night and dinner and a movie with Erica....oh it's the little things. :)
