Getting Some Sweet zzz's

2011-09-23T22:25:00.000-07:00

When I check on Andy before I go to sleep he is ALWAYS sleeping in some totally random positon or with 10 things piled on top of him. Here's a sample...

After freaking out at 3am cause Andy was missing from his bed, we found him in the family room snoozing in a laundry basket.

2011-09-23T21:24:00.000-07:00

Oh she's so cute I can't stand it!

First Day of School

2011-09-01T03:09:00.000-07:00

Hayden started 1st grade this week and Andy had his first day of Preschool. Hayden is actually really excited about school this year because his favorite buddy is in his class. I was really nervous for Andy because he gets super nervous going anywhere without a member of his family. He really surprised me and was thrilled for his first day of school. It might have helped that school was at his "girlfriends" house.

Random Update

2011-02-28T16:33:00.000-08:00

Hayden was awarded Student of the Month in his class. We were invited to a school assembly where they surprise the student with the award. Hayden was so excited when they called his name!

This video is terrible quality, but it shows her cute giggle :)

So Andy has totally been cracking us up lately.

Andy: Vampires, when they turn to people, they put underwear on their head.

Andy: This thing is so disgusting! What does disgusting mean again?

We were driving past Hayden's school after hours when Hayden said:

Oh my hell, there are still people at my school!

Me: Yeah, but we say heck, okay bud.

Hayden: But hell sounds so much better!

Hayden was just asking to sign up for something he saw on a commercial, when I told him they don't always tell the truth on commercials he said, " You mean Walmart doesn't really help you save money?"

Life in California

2011-01-24T23:12:00.000-08:00

Finally have a picture with all 3, Hayden and Andy are looking so old!

Sophie's expression says it all :)

Sophie's sporting the chubby cheeks

Hayden lost his first tooth! He left a note for the Tooth Fairy asking if he could keep his tooth, the next day he swallowed it on accident.

Hayden had an official grand opening for his doctors office. He taped a medical sign on our garage with arrows pointing to his office. I think he was a little disappointed when people didn't start pouring into his office. He's kept busy with family exams though.

This is serous business

Andy being cute

Pretty in Pink

2010-11-14T19:39:00.000-08:00

So here are some more pictures of cute baby Sophia. She is still so tiny and we are all loving every second we spend with her. The boys are constantly competing for her attention, which is oh so cute and overwhelming at times. :) She has two very protective brothers.

I had so much fun taking her newborn pictures in her pink tutu!!

Sophia Kate Steed

2010-11-06T22:26:00.000-07:00

Well, she's finally here! Sophia Kate Steed entered the world on November 3, 2010 weighing only 5 lbs, 8 oz. She is so tiny and soooo cute. The boys have fallen in love with her already. Here is a flood of pictures. Enjoy!

Broken Apart

2010-02-03T20:12:00.000-08:00

Hayden: Mom, tomorrow can we send Elle a letter? Cause we're not broke apart anymore. (Elle is the girl from school that he's totally in love with)

Me: You guys broke apart?

Hayden: Yeah, she came to school one day and didn't like me anymore, but now we're put back together again!

We're in trouble if he's already having girlfriend issues! But oh so funny!

So You Think You Can Dance?

2009-12-14T22:06:00.000-08:00

I promise he didn't learn how to dance like this from us. Well..... maybe from Mike.

Medicine Drink

2009-09-30T20:55:00.000-07:00

Today Hayden made a "medicine drink" that consisted of:

Ketchup
Mustard
Strawberry Syrup
Chocolate Syrup
Milk
Water

Me: How does it taste?
Hade: Um, good. Kids don't like it though, but I'm only a pretend kid. I'm really an adult...my wife died.
Me: How!?
Hade: I was a police officer at work and she was at home and the baby came out of her tummy.....then I had to stay home with her (the baby) and my wife had to go to my job. Then she got shot by a bad guy!

I don't know where he comes up with this stuff.

After putting two pictures on the fridge with a magnet Andy got all excited, raised his hand, and yelled, "I SAVED THE DAY!"

2009-09-17T09:05:00.000-07:00

The boys had a blast just hangin' at the beach while I sprinted around trying to take pictures of them. They got a kick out of throwing rocks at the "jellyfish"!

We've Even Got Dollars!!

2009-08-22T22:07:00.000-07:00

After weeks of anticipation, Hayden was finally able to set up his Limeade Stand. To his disappointment, we were not able to build one from scratch (although he has tried on several occasions). He and his friend Audrey took turns counting the abundance of cash, and flagging down cars. They made a pretty good team!

Hade: I know how we can sell more! We'll pretend we're robbers, then the policemen will come to get us, and we can sell the policeman lemonade!

Audrey: Then they'll put us in jail!

Hade: Well, they'll see that we're pretending!

Andy's quote of the week: Look Hayden, a boooger! I'm gonna eat it okay?

I Want To Live At Disney World

2009-05-15T10:09:00.000-07:00

We were blissfully in Disney World for the first part of the month and are now back to reality. Mike's parents took the whole family and it was so much fun to be able to hang out with everyone! Hayden keeps telling me he wants to live at Disney World cause our house is boring. Well...can't compete with Disney. My post is late as usual, but here are a ton pictures from the vacation for the 2 people that still read my blog.

Show me the true-blooded Aggie from Utah....

2009-03-30T21:29:00.000-07:00

Last weekend Hayden and Mike made the road trip up to Boise to watch the Aggies play in the NCAA tournament. They went up with Grandpa Bob, David, Matt, Nicole and Justin.

On the way up, Mike was having a conversation with Grandpa Bob when Hayden leaned over and whispered to Mike:

Hayden: "Don't listen to Grandpa."
Mike: "Why?"
Hayden: "Because his stories are boring."

It was a long drive but they had a lot of fun. Hayden liked the basketball game (except when it got too loud) and loved staying at the hotel. Too bad the Aggies lost by one point--but if you ask Hayden, he'll say that they won. If only Mike could have a selective memory like that he wouldn't have been depressed all weekend.

Hayden took a lot of pictures of the game.

Happy Birthday Andy

2009-03-17T20:16:00.000-07:00

Andy celebrated his second birthday last Saturday...although he still refuses to say he's two. "Noooo, I'm one!" He had so much fun!

Sweet little Andy (likes to pose for the camera)

RAARRR!

Say Cheese!

Mike made his invitation and I love it!

Old GeeDonald had a foam!

2009-03-11T20:16:00.000-07:00

Say That Again?!?

2009-01-28T19:49:00.000-08:00

Hayden: Dad, I don't like it when mom checks my pockets.
Mike: Why?
Hayden: Cause then she finds stuff I borrowed. (e.g. my dad's, SD camera card that was in a plastic "suitcase", breath mints from the store, etc.)

(This happened right before Christmas when there was a small Christmas tree in his room)
Hayden: An angel was in my room last night!
Me: Really...what did the angel say?
Hayden: That I'm going to be a superhero when I'm 5!

Hayden's dinner blessing for the last week:

Heavenly Father, please bless that I can bring the ring of doom (Lord of the Rings) to church, and to school. Amen.

My favorite phrases from Andy

"Is Hayden naughty?"
"Mom, what you doin?"

My boys always put a smile on my face!

2009-01-13T21:00:00.000-08:00

Disneyland Vacation
We all had a blast in Disneyland! The boys had so much fun running from ride to ride. Both boys got a kick out of meeting Mickey and the other Disney Characters. Hayden's favorite part was when he was chosen to participate in the 'Jedi Training' show. He is soooo excited that he is now an official Jedi. It hilarious watching him up on stage taking things so seriously. As usual, I took a million pictures so there were a lot to post......

Trip to the ER

2009-01-04T22:10:00.000-08:00

Hayden decided it would be a good idea to crack his head open the day before we leave to Disneyland. I was getting ready to take Andy to the doctor because of an ear infection when Hayden fell off the top of the couch and cracked his head on the edge of our baseboard. We nixed the doctors appointment and Thad's birthday party (sorry Thad, Happy Birthday!) and ran Hayden to the ER. I felt so bad for the poor kid! He had 8 staples put in! (the doctor said it would be easier on Hayden to have stapes put in rather than stiches, he's the doctor?) He was so brave!

I have to say that there was a crazy variety of people in the ER. My favorite was the guy in his mid 30's, covered in tatoo's, with a sweet haircut who walked in and stated with his gruffy voice, "I've been bit by a pit."

So, still covered in blood, we ran home to put the kids to bed and finish packing. While Mike was getting Hayden in bed Hayden said, "Hey Dad, I know what's in blood! A little bit of jelly, and two spiders." Funny kid.

After about 1 hour of sleep (I wish I were exagerating) and running to our flight (apparently it's the busiest travel day of the year at SLC airport) we made it to Anaheim. Andy was finally seen by a doctor and perscribed meds for his ear infections. Now it's time for some sleep. I'll post some pictures of the trip when we get home.

December Photos

2008-12-18T21:27:00.000-08:00

It's blog catch up time...so here are some pics from the last month. (There are a lot of them since I am so great at updating my blog:) It's my New Year's resolution to update at least twice a month...yay! (sadly that will be an improvement)

Hayden's fabulous gingerbread house he made in preschool

The boys dressed up for Christmas brunch with the Steed/Anderson family
Andy wasn't a fan of Santa (I'm so thrilled I was given the opportunity to sit on Santa's lap!)
Hayden snuck away from our brunch table numerous times to spy on Santa.

After the first snow fall I dressed the kids to play outside, but by the time we got out there...it was gone. Poor kids! Andy was thrilled to just be outside! I made one snowball and we had to keep track it and reuse it!
A little disappointed.

The Birds and the Bees

2008-11-19T15:18:00.000-08:00

An Interview with Harry the Tarantula

I picked out this book from the library thinking Hayden would love a spider book! Not so much. When reading to Hayden before bedtime, Mike about died when he started reading this page:

(The spider is being interviewed by another bug)
Q:What do you do that you have to be quick about, if you don't mind my asking?

A: I have to transfer my web sack of sperm to her. I must be very careful and tap her in all the right places. Tapping puts her in a romantic mood. Then I transfer my sack, and I'm out of there in a flash. So far, so good. I can thank my lucky stars.

Mike started laughing hysterically! Hayden was a little confused! Seriously...come on people! This book is for kids!
If anyone needs to have "The" talk, let me know, I'll send this book right over.

Trick or Treat!!

2008-11-03T19:15:00.000-08:00

Hayden of course woke up bright and early Halloween day eager to go trick- or-treating. We told him when it starts to get dark we can get ready to go trick-or-treating. Since it was still dark when he woke up he kept trying to convince us it was time to head out! During the day he kept panicking that he missed his chance to go. Andy of course was oblivious. Hayden made a handsome Jack Sparrow and Andy was a cute Pooh. We took the kids out with some neighborhood friends, then I went back for trick-or-treat duty. I guess Hayden sprinted from door to door with his friends (Audrey, Hayden and Tabby). He has turned into a trick-or-treating machine!! Andy would try to keep up as much as possible! The kids went to one house where the man handing out the candy wasn't exactly Mr. Rogers. He told the kids, "Just one, only take one!" You say that to Hayden and it just turns into a challenge. So Hayden just started grabbing more, and the guys yells, "One! One! One!" Mike chirps in, "Hayden, only take one." Mr. Chipper then gives Mike the evil eye, as to say, "I cannot believe your not giving that candy back!" Wish I would have been there. The kids we're out for over an hour, they had a lot of fun. Even Andy who was like, what...is...going...on..

Andy and his cousins, Justin and Jackson at the Steed Halloween
party. Three very busy boys....cute busy boys.

Hayden, Sydney, Elise, Aubrey, and Jackson. It was fun to see
all the kids in their costumes!

My First Haircut!

2008-10-27T20:30:00.000-07:00

So....as you can see, Hayden decided to give himself a haircut! I was changing Andy's diaper and I looked up and saw something fuzzy in his hand, and didn't think much of it, until I saw scissors in his other hand! I had left his scissors on the counter (stupid! stupid!) and I guess he assumed that if his mom can cut his hair, why should he be able to do the same? I couldn't get mad at him, it was just too funny. And of course he cut two big chuncks right in the front.

Zoo Trip

2008-10-18T21:03:00.000-07:00

We went to the zoo on Friday and the kids had so much fun! I have to admit it's a little stressful when I have 2 boys that like to run! Andy was so excited to see every animal, it was hilarious. He and Hayden sat and stared at turtles for 5 min. strait. Andy, "Toodle!" I think Hayden's favorite part was just hanging out with his cousins....and the ice cream:)

Weekend in San Francisco

2008-10-11T20:10:00.000-07:00

Go Niners!

Mike and Hayden left me and Andy at home last weekend to see Steve get his jersey retired at the 49ers game. They went with Mike's family and were able to meet up with Mike's sister Lara and her husband who now live in the Bay Area. They went down on the field before the game and during halftime to watch the ceremony. They were really excited to be able to see that. They even got to stay at the Four Seasons (even though Mike told Hayden to tell me that they stayed at Motel 6).

The group also went to Alcatraz which was neat for Hayden to see, thanks Lara for taking pictures for Mike. ( I forgot to send him with a camera). Hayden felt like such a big kid to be able to go with his Dad on a trip.

If only we could install this in Hayden's room

Hayden "listening" to the audio tour.

Hayden was attached to his cousin Jake the whole time....followed him everywhere and always had to hold his hand.

2008-10-04T20:09:00.000-07:00

Go Aggies!

I know, I know, I suck at updating my blog. But FINALLY I'm posting! Yay!

Mike and I and the kids headed up to the Aggies vs. BYU game yesterday. Mike passionately hates BYU! I'm not a fan either, but at least I wasn't wanting to rip off every BYU car flag on the way up. He cracks me up. We had a lot of fun and we were glad the Aggies put up a fight.

We met up with some family and friends, Justin and Heidi and their oldest son Jake. Mike's grandma has a box at the game so we were grateful to be able to let the boys run. They had pop and cookies for dinner, yum....healthy. Hayden played in the buffet area with Jake and ripped apart the center pieces (catering wasn't thrilled about that, but whatever entertains!) and Andy ran laps around the balcany while fliritng with the girls.

Andy and his uncle David

Hayden had one too many cookies:)

Hayden's Getting Learned!

2008-09-05T20:58:00.000-07:00

Hayden had his first day of preschool on Tuesday, and he was so excited! Mostly because he could bring his lightsaber for show and tell. He's enrolled at a neighborhood preschool with his cousin Thatcher, the two of them will keep Miss Kathy pretty busy!! He was so cute walking around with his little school bag. Andy didn't like being left behind, but had a nice uninterrupted nap! I can't believe he's in school already! Time goes by way too fast!

Happy 4th Birthday Hayden!!

2008-08-11T21:29:00.000-07:00

Hayden had his 4th birthday on August 5th, and he had a total blast! He woke up and first thing he wanted to open his presents of course. So he woke up Andy and we made Mickey Mouse pancakes while he opened all of his gifts. He now has a record number of swords. Later that night we got together with some of his cousins and played at the pool. The next day Mike and I headed to San Francisco for the remainder of the week.(thanks Randy & Chris, and Bob & Peggy for taking care of the boys! We'll show the trip on a later post) When we returned we had another get together at Bob & Peggy's to celebrate Hayden's Birthday with the Steed side of the family. He has been spoiled rotten, and he has loved it. As you will notice, he celebrated his birthday as a pirate, Batman and Frodo!

Go Mets!

2008-07-23T21:14:00.000-07:00

So we signed Hayden up for T-Ball with two of his cousins. They all had a total blast.......doing everything but playing T-Ball. Hayden was always searching through everyone's purse to find some candy. It was always ridiculously hot, and one time I caught Hayden hiding under some strangers chair for some shade. Poor kid. Hayden was always wandering off the field to go play somewhere else, and Andy was always wandering onto the field yelling "ball? ball?". Couldn't keep Hayden on the field and couldn't keep Andy off. They were some busy games. Luckily Mike was able to make it to almost all of the games! We'll give soccer a try next year.

Yes Hayden, baseball really is this boring.

Hayden's cousin Thatcher, running anywhere EXCEPT the bases!

The Mets were an intimidating force all season!

Hayden with his cousins, Thatcher and Trenton.

Again, not running to a base, but running nonetheless.

"See Hayden! This is how it is done!"

Trenton, Hayden's cousin.

Strike Four!

Andy sure had fun though!

Mike is Fired!

2008-07-14T21:38:00.001-07:00

So last Saturday, we were driving down Bountiful Blvd trying to find the park where Mike's 10 year reunion was being held. When all of a sudden Mike sees a cop car with its lights on behind him and pulls over to the side of the road. Turns out...he was driving 17 mph over the speed limit and the cop had been following us for several minutes. He did not seem happy. To make matters worse, Mike didn't even have is driver's license on him.

After the cop had gotten our information and walked back to his car to write the ticket, Hayden shouted from the back seat, "Dad...YOU'RE FIRED!!" I don't know where he got that from, but it lightened the mood a bit.

(The cop was nice enough not to give us a ticket, however, he did give Mike a big lecture on how he needs to pay attention more when he drives.)

Happy Father's Day!

2008-06-16T11:03:00.000-07:00

Happy Father's Day Mike! The boys are so lucky to have such an incredible dad. Hayden can never wait for you to get home from work cause he knows he'll get some intense sword fighting in, and get to act out a scene or two from Star Wars or whatever movie he's currently obsessed with. Andy is always thrilled to be with you whether it's playing tackle or tag or just sitting on your lap. (No wonder these boys wear me out! Man!) I love how he gets so excited to see you when you get home from work, or just get back from taking out the garbage! DADDY!!! DADDY!! You are a very involved dad, which we are so grateful for! (Especially me:) SMOOCH

Vacation on Kauai

2008-05-28T22:37:00.000-07:00

The entire Steed family spent a week in Kauai and we had a total blast! The boys had so much fun hanging out with their cousins. We wish we were still there. Hayden keeps saying he's sad because he misses Hawaii!

We went on a helicopter ride with Jeff, Natalie and Sydney. I was going to post some pictures of Hayden and Mike in the helicopter, but Hayden had to go potty after we got into the air, so he looks really focused in all of the photos! The tour was awesome, Kauai is so incredible! Thanks Bob and Peggy!

Andy's favorite person in the world is his "pa-pa" Bob. Throughout the week, anytime Andy would hear or see his grandpa he would scream pa-pa pa-pa!! and would shake with excitement! He wouldn't even let us hold him during family pictures, he wanted pa pa.

Andy and mom. (Pa pa wasn't around)

Hayden and his cousin Sydney. Hayden loved this beach, he was obsessed with the big waves. I told him to be careful and not get too close to the water because the waves will pull you into the ocean. He started to get really worried and started yelling at the kids surfing, "It's not safe kids! Come back! It's dangerous!"

Andy was a huge fan of the beach.

Hayden on the lookout for surfers in danger.

Hayden thought this was pretty funny for a minute, then freaked out a little.

We went to a nice dinner without the kids. (We love you kids, but it was so nice eating a nice meal without having to count to 5 in a threatening tone several times)

Mike, myself, Matt, Nicole, Krista, Harv and Lara at the Bull Shed Restaurant. (Or the putting green/shuffle board) We had a lot of fun.

Hayden with the girls. Aubrey, Sydney and Elise.

Behold...A New Entry

2008-05-03T21:28:00.000-07:00

We are going to call this entry, Pictures in the Park. Beautiful name, huh? We stayed up all night thinking of it but it was worth it!

The reason we haven't updated our blog recently is because life has been very uneventful. Mike still hates his job. Hayden wants a different type of sword every day. Today it was a blue Leonardo Ninja Turtle sword (he gets very specific and likes to stare at the swords online all day). Andy is almost walking but he is a little chicken. And Audrey chases the kids around all day. Such is the story of our life.

We do have some very exciting news to report though! Our backyard design was finally approved by the powers that be at Daybreak. It's kind of odd that they care so much about a fenced-in backyard but don't care about other things.....such as....oh...having the same house color as your next door neighbors.

Anyway, enjoy Pictures in the Park!

Andy turns one!

2008-03-18T20:40:00.001-07:00

The Birthday Boy!

Hayden had fun opening all of Andy's presents.

Cookie Monster!

Hayden got a little too close.

Sugar coma!

Hellooooo!

2008-03-07T23:38:00.000-08:00

Well, after resisting this whole silly blog trend for some time, we have finally decided to hop on the bandwagon. So welcome to the Steed Family Blog. Exciting isn't it? I have to admit, blogging is a little awkward at first, but it begins to grow on you after a while. In fact, it is starting to feel downright blogtastic...or shall we say...bloggerific. Blognificent? Perhaps. Only time will tell. But let's just say we are hopeful that will be the case. Now on to the family.

As many of you now know, we have left the sanctuary of Davis County and moved south. Where we have ended up, few can guess. However, depending on who you talk to, the new place may be referred to as "California", "Southern Utah", "Nevada" or even "Mexico", but for simplicity sake...let's just call the place "South Jordan" and pretend that it is only about 30 miles (as the crow flies) from the other Steed Families up north. Or if we were to stop pretending and consult google, we will find that South Jordan is 36.9 miles from Steed HQ in Farmington. See evidence below:

Thank heavens for modern technology and the power of the world wide interweb to bridge such gaps! Either way, we are having a lot of fun down here and the family is doing well. Here are a few photos from the past year or so. Enjoy!
