CY's BIRTHDAY AND EASTER!!

I know I'm a little late, but better late than never, right?? Cy had a very fun birthday!! He first got to celebrate it with the Hayward side on the ACTUAL DAY with his cousin Brantz.. Cy and Brantz share the same birthday and that was a special day for Brantz, because he got baptised!! It was so sweet of Brantz to share his special day with Cy, and include him on his birthday cake! :) Thanks Brantzy.. The next day we had a Tuaileva-Pinckney family party for Cy.. He is a spoiled little boy, that's for sure!! I think he got everything he would have wanted and MORE!! Thank you so much to everyone for making Cy's birthday so special!! We are blessed to have you all in his life, and I'm so grateful for the love and support you are constantly giving us and especially CY!

Austin, Brantz & Cy.. The Hayward boys!!
The birthday cake!! It couldn't have been better! Basketball is Cy's FAVORITE!!

Cy and Brantz.. The birthday boys!!

Cy got an elmo chair from Aunty Kenz.. He LOVES it! And a WUBZY doll for the bath from Lizzy

Gramma really came through and got him a SCOOTER!! He LOVES it!! He tries riding the big kid ones, and it doesn't quite work, so he got one his own size!! SO CUTE!

Cy LOVES balloons, so you can only imagine how many he got on his birthday!!

Funny story... We had a "BLUES CLUES" pinata for our little party, and Cy wouldn't hit it!! He was crying and I held him and said, "you need to hit blue with the bat" and he said, "No, he's my friend" SO CUTE!!

Cy's birthday cake.. haha.. I've always wanted a picture cake!!

Blowing out the candles..

And not wasting ANY TIME diggin in!!



Cy got many gifts at his party that he loves, but I think his favorite was his new bike and Spiderman helmet that Uncle Jon's family got for him!! He was ECSTATIC!! Thanks!!

Cy has figured out the Easter Egg hunt thing.. He started out throwing them like balls, but then he figured they contain CANDY!! HIS FAVORITE!! It was all over from there!


He especially liked the ball shaped eggs!!

We went to Walmart to visit Gramma Gerrie, and took a pic with the Easter bunny!! Cy LOVED the Easter bunny!! He kept going back and giving him hugs!! haha.. I have YET to find out what it's like to have him not like Santa or Easter bunny, etc.. He seems to like them all so far!!

OUR BABY IS 2!!!!

CY’s 2 year UPDATE..

PARROT – Cy will copy anything and EVERYTHING everyone says! It’s cute, but also can be very scary! Haha.. We have to watch what we say, for sure. He speaks so well now!! He says sentences and half the time I’m the only one that understands most of what he is saying, but he talks up a storm!

PICKY EATER – This kid is the PICKIEST eater EVER!! His 4 basic food groups are Seimini (Top Ramen), Pizza, French Fries and cookies!! Healthy, I know! He will have an occasional apple or banana, but dislikes veggies and MEAT at the moment!! MEAT? Weird, hu? Don’t ask me how he is such a TANK, he hardly eats!! He really likes the SOUP from PF Changs! haha..

We attempted a bib here, at PF Changs...

Cy usually gets to make a mess when he eats at home.. and No, he won't wear a bib! haha..

• BASKETBALL! BASKETBALL! And MORE BASKETBALL!! Cy can sit and play basketball ALL DAY LONG!! He LOVES it when he has an audience to clap for him when he makes a shot.. He always says “Shoot it like Kobe” haha.. Wonder who taught him that? He doesn’t like the basketball hoop to be at his level or anywhere NEAR it.. He likes it to be at the HIGHEST level, and if it isn’t he says, “HIGHER” until it’s at the top level!! He’s actually really good at it, but I’m sure it’s because he plays 24/7

ARTIST – Cy is a little artist! He LOVES to draw, color, paint, etc.. He wants to draw all the time! Anytime anyone is writing anything, he says, “Cy draw” (yes, my son speaks in 3rd person at times).. haha.. He is actually a really good drawer! He draws all different things from lines to circles.. He LOVES to draw!! He gets that from his creative Connie side! ;) Sometimes when Joe is doing his homework he will say, “I wanna draw, it my homework” haha.. He likes to pretend to do homework like Uncle Joe.

• TRIPLE THREAT – Cy has for SURE gotten some singing, dancing and acting skills from both his Uncle Jaymz and Uncle Joe!! This kid will dance to ANYTHING as long as it has a beat! Haha.. He also LOVES to sing!! He is singing anytime he isn’t talking! He picks up on lyrics very quick and will walk around the house singing songs he learned in nursery or heard on the radio. His favorite right now (as much as Collin hates to admit) is Hannah Montana!! Haha.. Anytime we get in the car he says, “Mommy, I wanna Montana” haha.. So I have to put on the song “Best of both worlds” then he says, "Turn it UP" and he just sings along to it.. He knows every word! Haha.. Cy knows that we don’t get to listen to it if daddy is in the car! LOL…

• BLUES CLUES – Cy STILL loves to watch Blues Clues! I think that’s part of the reason he loves to draw.. He has a notebook that he carries around and puts his pencil in the spiral side when he isn’t using it (like Steve does on Blues Clues).. We can get Cy to calm down from ANY state if we mention Blues Clues! Haha.. He would really watch that show for HOURS at a time if we let him!!
  


• “MINE” – As much as I don’t like that word “mine” – I think it’s so cute (for now) when Cy thinks that EVERYTHING is his!! Haha… That’s his latest thing.. Gramma will be wearing her glasses and he will say, “Those my glasses” and then put out his hand for her to give them to him. Cy LOVES wearing gramma's glasses. The other day we were outside and he tells me, “mommy – you see my garden?” haha.. I said, “that’s gramma and grandpas garden” and he was a little upset about that.. he said, “No, dat CY’S garden” So, pretty much everything he sees he owns! Haha..

Cy LOVES to wear gramma's glasses.. Of course, he thinks they are his! ;)

Cy is a good helper! He loves to help gramma in the garden!!

• BOOKS – Cy LOVES to read!! He has his favorites at the moment, “Monkey Tumbles”, “Wacky Wednesday”, and “Goodnight Moon” – those are ones he pretty much has memorized, but he will sit with me to read ANY book!! He also loves puzzles! He hasn’t quite mastered them yet, but he likes to take them apart and try to put them back together with my help.

• OUTSIDE – Cy LOVES to be outside!! It was really warm for awhile, and he was outside everyday with gramma for HOURS!! His favorite thing to do is “Bouncy bouncy” which is jumping on the tramp! It took him half a day to figure the tramp out! He didn’t quite get the jumping technique down right away.. We would really have to bribe him with something to come back inside as it was getting dark or cold. Poor Cy was really confused when all of the sudden it was too COLD to go outside! He would ask EVERYONE in sight if they would take him outside and he always got the same answer, “No Cy, it’s too cold” til finally he started saying, “NOT TOO COLD – Bouncy Bouncy!” It will be nice to let Cy play outside when it warms up again!

• SWIMMING – Cy loves to swim! We hardly ever go because I’m a little disgusted at indoor swimming pools, but we stayed at a hotel in SLC for my birthday and brought Cy up to go swimming and he LOVED it!! He loves to swim! He didn’t even want us to hold him! He thought he could just swim all by himself.. Umm.. NOT YET buddy! I can’t wait to get him into lessons – he will love it! He likes to pretend he is swimming when he takes baths.. It’s so funny. He is ALL OVER the place in the bath tub and makes the BIGGEST mess because he thinks he’s “swimming”! Haha..

• CLIMBER – Cy climbs on EVERYTHING!! I’m surprised he hasn’t had more accidents **knock on wood** because he LOVES to climb on chairs, tables and couches and JUMP! He likes to jump on them like he is jumping on the tramp.. When he climbs on big chairs he doesn’t just climb on the seat part, he likes to climb on the HIGHEST part of the chair and straddle it til he almost falls off!! Scares the crap out of me, but he hardly ever falls, which is good.. he must have good balance! ;) Once again, **knock on wood**
  
• BLOCKS - Cy has been really into building little houses with his BLOCKS lately.. He likes to build a little "house" and stand inside of it and then knock it down like a MONSTER!
  

That's all I can think of for now.. Cy can sing almost every nursery song. He can count to 14 (random number, I know) and sing his ABC's. He can also ALMOST recite the 1st Article of Faith. We are so proud of you, son! We love you SO MUCH and you are such a good boy and you bring so much JOY to our lives!! We love you little man! Happy Birthday! :)

VEGAS!!

I know I am SO LATE on posts.. So, I'm gonna try to get caught up here before Cy's 2nd birthday!! :) Need to clear some space for the PRINCE! haha.. K, so.. We took a SISTER's TRIP - minus Tasha :( a few weeks ago to see Jaymz in the "Cher" show!! AMAZING!! I wasn't ever a HUGE Cher fan before now!! She is an AMAZING performer and SINGER!! I seriously LOVED her show!! I get chills just thinking of it!! As always, Jaymz did an AMAZING job as a dancer.. There are only 6 guys and 6 girls, so he is in almost EVERY number and it's so easy to spot him!! I LOVED IT!! It was a nice little sisters bonding trip as well.. The weather was PERFECT and our host was the MOST! ;) haha...

Just getting ready to leave.... Goodbye Utah!

On our way!! Of course our princess Lindsay gets the back row to herself!! haha..

Jojo was there staying with Jaymz as well, so that was a treat!! Jojo got us a room at the Rio for our first night, Thanks bro! :) We missed Jon.. All the siblings were together but Jon..


Crazy girls!!
WooHoo!! We also got to see our Princess Andelyn while we were there!! That girl is a CRACK UP!! SO MUCH like her dad!! We LOVE AND MISS YOU Andelyn!!

On Jaymz' balcony.. Just chillin...
Jojo caught a pic of us "chillin" while looking at... something.. haha.. What were we looking at?
This was at Cesars.. Jaymz took us on stage after the show was over.. You can't see that well, but I would be SO intimidated dancing on this stage with how BIG the audience is!! It was SO MUCH FUN!!




We SCORED tickets at the last minute, so, as you can see.. we were pretty stoked!! We were planning on watching it from the Lighting booth for FREE, but Jaymz friend Rusty got us acutal SEATS!! They were GOOD TOO!! 5th row on the 1st balcony!! WOOHOO!!! It was AWESOME!!

LACHELLE!!

This post is a tribute to Lachelle, since I failed to post on her birthday.. or the week after.. or the week after.. you get the point! Lachelle is our Valentine baby!
