January 7th, Hayden turned EIGHT! We celebrated all week long!
First, Hayden chose to go out to dinner to Chuck-O-Rama (after our urgings to choose Spaghetti Factory, or Hires, or just about anyplace else. But we had a lot of fun and it was pretty good!)
Then he got to open his presents. His favorite presents were a pocket knife (he's been asking for one for two years and we promised when he was eight, he would be old enough to have one), and hex bugs with a habitat. He also started Scouts last week and received all his stuff for that.
Then Sunday, Uncle Craig, Aunt Andrea and Max came over for dinner and cupcakes.
The following Saturday, Hayden had his friend party. We loaded up 10 kids and headed out to Monkey Island. Hayden refers to it as "the best day of my life"! You'll have to excuse the quality of the pictures. It's not easy to catch a ton of little boys (and one girl...Isabella) who are having too much fun to slow down for a picture, so most are blurry action shots! Tory and I had a ton of fun playing with the kiddos, too!
Opening presents. I love how sweaty all the little boys are. They played so hard!
Racing through the obstacle course.
So fun!
My Sweet Eight year old. How we adore this boy! I also love his attire lately. Camo pants, polo shirt with skulls on it and a silky orange dragon shirt to finish off the ensemble. So darn cute!

Aren't families the best? And eight year olds too!!!
Sometimes it's so hard to let kids make the decision. I will try my darndest to sway Abby in the direction that I want, but she is stubborn and insists on HER favorite.
I'll have to take a trip with Abby to Monkey Island. She just loves those bounce places.
Happy Birthday to one stylin' eight year old!
Oh man he's so stinkin' adorable! I sure love to watch him during karate class and listen to his giggle...he always makes my heart smile! Congrats on your birthday Hayden! Here's looking forward to your baptism!
