April 2012

This post is of our annual trip to Joy!!! This was also Hayden's first camping trip!! He was so good. He didn't seem to mind at all. He was almost 3 months old. And by the pictures you will know why he took on the nickname chubbers:) We had a good time as always with family and friends

This picture makes me laugh! Just chillin. Look at those cheeks:)

Andrew had been on a horse ride and it started snowing hard.  Good thing he was prepared:)

Having fun with cousins

Jake and Madison made signs to put on their chairs so no one would take them.  It didn't work:)

Flying Kites! One of Brett's favorite memories as a kid.  In the picture Brett, Andrew and Jake

Kaci, Andrew, and Aunt Lisa

Hayden's First sit on Sandy:)  We cant call it a ride cause sandy never moved:) Andrew was so excited to get Hayden on that horse he could hardly stand it.  Proud moment for their dad too:)

This is where this kid is HAPPY! 

One of the best parts for Andrew is that he gets to ride with his dad.  Brett loves it too.

This is the before picture of the pony cart ride:)  It went south after this and we didn't get an after picture. Lets just say the pony took off and there was a lot of screaming and tears:)

I said hey cute boy. I was talking to Hayden, but Brett says who me:) Of course you:)

Just chillin in bed!

March 2012

On March 14, 2012 Madison turned 9 years old!!!! We decided to take her friends to the movie the Lorax. It was a bit crazy with all those girls and her wild little brother Andrew. I love parties so it was fun! She opened some gifts and we watched the movie and then we took every one home. When we got home Dad and Hayden Had he present all ready for her. A cute new bike! She loved it but thought it might be hard to ride with just one hand but she made it work and it was great. We love you Madison. I can't believe she is 9.

Hayden also turned 2 months in March.  He changed so much in one months time:) Here he is 13lbs

We blessed Hayden Jones Woodland on March 18, 2012. It was such a good day we had almost all of our family there with us. Shannon and her family had just got back from vacation and couldn't leave church responsibilities behind another week. We sure did miss them though. We are so blessed to have all of our male family members that are of age worthy to hold the priesthood. Those who stood in the circle were, Mark R. Jones, Ronald C. Jones, Golden R. Mangelson, Casey M. Jones, LaMar G. Howarth, Jeremy B. Lynn, Byron B. Woodland, Art Forbush, Jeff T. Andrus, Alan T. Gee, Dan V. Woodland, Bishop Carl Brough, and of course William Brett Woodland. Brett has given such awesome blessings to our children and Hayden's was no different. We are so blessed that Brett is worthy to hold the priesthood. My dad told him once that blessing your children will be one of the best things he could do. I am so grateful he honors his priesthood to the fullest and can bless me and our kids. I am so grateful for our amazing families. We are always supported by them. We had one of my favorite meals for the lunch. Sweet pork salads:) Everyone chipped in and made it really yummy.

one more thing in February

Hayden turned 1 month in February:) These two pictures were taken a couple weeks apart and you can tell how he had grown in such a short time:( What a sweet baby boy. I just love all that hair. It would stick straight out unless we put lotion in it to calm it down. As you can see it didn't help much because it is still sticking out!

                                                                   Hayden 1 month

                                                                      Hayden 2 weeks

February 2012

I am slowly getting caught up:) This February was our first valentines with three kids:) Ya, we had so much fun. We had a fun dinner and got new jammies!! I love my kids more than anything!! Madison was 8. Andrew was 4. Hayden was almost 1 month.

Also in February Madison got her first broken arm. She went with her Aunt Uncle and Cousins ice skating and fell on the Ice:( Lisa called a warned me of what had happened, but felt like she was OK. Madison can be way dramatic so you never know if she is really hurt or not:) So we decided to not say anything about it unless she brought it up. The first thing out of her mouth with tears was I really hurt my arm. Brett and I looked at it. It didn't seem swollen and she could move it etc. But she said it really hurt. So we being the great parents we are sent her to get in the bath and soak it in hot water and move it around a little and with Motrin it would be better by morning:) Not the way it panned out. Since Hayden was born she liked to go get him out of bed and snuggle with him while I got ready. She went to pick him up and couldn't. And she tried to hold on to her water bottle and couldn't squeeze her hand to hold it. So off to the Dr. we go. He comes in and looks at it moves it around and says I don't think it's broken but lets do an x-ray anyway to make sure. I was feeling kind of silly taking her in, but I thought it would relieve some drama from her knowing it wasn't broken. Sure enough he came back and said I was wrong it is broken. What????? Madison immediately started to cry as if that meant they would have to cut her arm off:) I am telling you DRAMA!!! We took her to another room and he put a soft cast on it to wear for a week and then we went back for the pink hard cast for 6 weeks. Aunt Lisa was surprised to hear it was broken and felt bad that she thought she was fine:) SO DID I. So Lisa wasn't alone on that one:) We are so glad that experience is over. Just to tell you how dramatic she can get we took her brother to the ER for stitches and when we walked in they rushed to her to see what was wrong. We had to say it's not her it's her brother:)

January 2012

Hayden Jones Woodland Was born On January 22, 2012. It was such a good day! I can't believe this kid is almost 8 Months old. Looking back on these pictures makes me sad. They grow up so fast. Hayden was born on a Sunday morning around 7:30 am. Dr Nance and Dr. Nance performed the c-section. They both delivered Andrew as well. Everything was so calm that morning and everything went so smooth. As they were pulling him out they played the Cougar fight song. Brett was wearing his BYU shirt so they were making sure that Hayden Knew who we were cheering for:) As he came out the Dr. made the comment that I should be grateful I didn't have to push out that head:) Dr. Nance popped his little (big) head over the drape and he had the chubbiest little cheeks and at that moment looked just like Andrew. They took him away and got him all cleaned up. Our friend Shane Bryan was there as the respiratory therapist. The Dr. came back and asked if I wanted him to tell me Hayden's weight or if I wanted to wait for Brett. I said is he huge, just tell me. I was surprised that he was only 8lbs 12oz. Big Boy:) He was perfect and had a pounds worth of dark hair. My parents were able to watch from a window. It was fun having them both there with us. Casey and Kristen were our first visitors other than my parents. little did we know Kristen was pregnant. The worst part about having the c-section for me is that the medicine they put in the spinal makes me itch like crazy. My eyes swelled and my nose itched like crazy. My mom finally got them to give me something for that:) That seriously was the worse part. Andrew and Madison stayed with Brett's parents and I was so excited to see them. They came up a little later that day, and they fell in love with their little brother. We had lots of visitors. Alisha and her family, Monica and Emily, Casey and Kristen, Dan and his family, Diana, Judy Jensen and her daughter Robyn, Byron and Susan. Hayden was born 7 years to the day that my sister Erica passed away. What a special day for Hayden. I am sure he meet her and that she was able to send him here to us. This will be a special day for two very special people. We love and miss her so much. Hayden is the best baby and has been so fun. He sleeps and eats and has a smile that makes me smile. I am so grateful his is mine!!!!!!

Dr. Nance and Dr. Nance, with Andrew and Hayden.  The younger Dr. Nance asked if he could come in and observe Andrews C-section. He was tring to decide what kind of Dr. he wanted to be.  He said because of Andrew he decided to be an OB.  4 almost 5 years later he finnished OB School and came back to work with his dad for a month and he got to meet Andrew for the first time since he was born. He was also excited because he was going to be around for Haydens birth but this time he could be hands on. So with the help of his dad they delivered another little boy for the Woodlands.  They asked if we would send this picture to them and Dr. Nance says they have it framed at home:)
