Happy Birthday, Hayden!






Yesterday was Hayden's 4th birthday! Its hard to believe that when we moved into our current house he was just beginning to walk and we celebrated his 1st birthday. We had lots of fun yesterday celebrating. We began by eating lunch at TGI Fridays and the waiters sang to him and brought balloons & ice cream. I saw him turn a slight shade of pink! Then, we headed over to his cousins' house for lots of playtime and a sleepover. He opened presents, ate his cookie cake, played outside, watched a movie with an endless supply of popcorn and then slept in his new sleeping bag. We concluded his celebration this morning by taking cupcakes to his school for all his friends - what a mess but they had fun! The kids had cupcakes all over everything - I'm sure the mommies loved me today, lol.

Hayden - oh, where do I begin? When daddy and I think of you - we think funny! You make us laugh with the things you do and say on a daily basis. I really could right a book. You are very witty and smart for your age. You're following in your brothers footsteps and enjoying playing baseball right now. You love to play outside, play your gameboy, ride on the skateboard, go to your brothers games, visit Ft. Smith, ride your bike, play dress up, swing, and the list goes on. You are very sweet to your brother and sister (most of the time!) You are beginning to show signs of emotion that you have never shown before. I think you are growing up! Let's see... foods you like to eat are cheese, cheese and more cheese! Your lunch request is usually "a cheese sandwich with no bread, grapes, & cheetos... and that will be all." lol You also enjoy chocolate - you get that from your mommy! You have a hard time waking up in the mornings and you still sleep with your "BB"(red,blue,white and yellow checked blanket.) You won't go to sleep without some form of night light as you are afraid of the dark as well. You know how to spell your name and write the letters of your name (although not in order yet...)

There are a million other things I could write, but the clock is ticking and we have to be at a baseball game. Your sister is screaming and none of you have had dinner yet. I better get going!

My sister is requesting baseball pictures. I'll try to see what I can get this weekend.... Sorry its taking so long.
