Hayden's Birthday Weekend

















For Hayden's 2nd birthday we celebrated by having a small party on Saturday of close friends and family that live here in town. We did a Farm theme and the kids took turns swinging at a pig pinata. All the kids enjoyed playing on the playground and eating cake and ice cream. After everyone left we put together the gifts he received and he had a blast checking everything out. Grandpa Pat got him a Mustang Power wheels and Hayden loves it. He gets a big kick out of the radio and has to stretch his leg out really far to push the accelerator. He'll eventually learn how to do that and steer at the same time. Haha. On Sunday we went out on the houseboat. We got to take a long cruise on the lake and the big kids (Uncle Adam was in town) took turns riding on the wave runner. Ava was pretty content with her toys in the pack and play since she was having trouble balancing her crawling skills with the sway of the boat and Hayden had fun looking out at the water and the boats, eating snacks, and playing with Fiona (Jenn's little dog). We did lose a bubble gun that Hayden threw overboard. Whoops! Luckily it was only a $4 toy. The bad part of that is he only played with it one other time. After they docked the boat, Hayden went on the wave runner with Josh and just cruised really slow in the no wake area. Josh said he had fun.

Happy Birthday Hayden! Looks like you got a lot of great loot!! Of course it looks like the mustang box may have been the favorite. I love that about kids!!

Happy 2nd birthday Hayden (sorry I missed it by a few days--I thought of him on his b-day so it counts right?). I have a 'gag' gift of sorts for him. Are you having a shindig for Ava's 1st birthday?

We are-- that's why we didn't do that for Hayden's bday. We didn't want anyone to have to choose which bday party to go to.

Hey Hayden,
More presents to open when we get to your house tomorrow. I guess we are getting up at 4 a.m. UGH!

Let me know when you have a date for Ava's, there is a very tiny window but I'd love to make it.
