HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAYDEN!!

Hayden has been trying to decide what to do for his birthday for months now. He has gone back and forth between Jumping Jacks and Staheli Farms. He also thought about Fiesta Fun and bowling. But the winner was Jumping Jacks. We love going there. We all come home sweaty and with burns on our elbows and knees. But it is all worth it!

I think Hayden had a good day! It started off with breakfast at IHOP with Grandma Bingham. Then they went shopping. Hayden loved all the attention he got at school. They sang to him in his class and at P.E. After school we headed over to Jumping Jacks then it was off to Grandma's for the "nicest birthday dinner" and a special Oreo cookie cake. What a great day for such a great six year old! Happy Birthday Hayden!!!

We saw this done in the Family Fun magazine this month and thought it looked cool. So, the boys and I wandered all over the backyard to find things that resembled the letters in their names. I loved watching the boys look at things from all different angles.

Knockin' Down The Pins

Look who lost a few

Hayden lost his first tooth Friday night while munching on some snacks at Movie In The Park. The tooth fairy gives a really cool gift for the first tooth. So, Hayden woke up to find a new Wii game, Monkey Ball. He was so excited! Then during dinner on Saturday night he lost his second tooth. He woke up to find a dollar covered in fairy dust on the floor (it must have fallen off his bed). Wow, what a special weekend for my Hayden! More proof that he is growing up :( As long as he doesn't loose his cute giggle any time soon!

Back to School

The boys have now been in school for two weeks and it appears as though they still love their classmates and teachers. That's good news! Hayden is still waiting patiently for some homework. He really wants to be big like Tyler. However, Tyler is not a fan of all the homework he has been receiving. It's tough growing up. . . . Hayden has had to deal with a little bully in another class, but I think it has all been resolved and the playground is now a happy place. Thank goodness!

As for me, well, while the boys are in school and Genevieve is napping, I have enjoyed learning how to bake bread and make meatballs. And for all you that know me well know that I hate hAtE HATE to touch raw meat, but I did it for Wayne. You lucky man! I froze a bunch of the meatballs so that I don't have to do that again any time soon. Now, what will I accomplish during Gen's nap tomorrow???
