Hayden

Another week went flying by. We really can't believe that August is almost here. Where did this month go? I swear the 4th was only last week. But we still have a lot planned for August so we aren't slowing down yet!

On Saturday we were surprised with a visit from Jessica, Lisa and Grandpa Blakey. We ate pizza and played! We had lots of fun. Hayden and Jessica got along SUPER well. That always makes me feel better!

On Sunday we visited Big Gram and Big Papa Smith out at the Cabin. It was weird to be at the cabin without any other kids, only Hayden. He loved it, he didn't have to share his favorite swing. He also went swimming, sort of, he is afraid of the Lake. We'll work on that! Hayden also went and had grown up conversation over ice cream with Nana and Papa. None of us can believe what a little man we have. He talks to us like an adult. He can carry on a conversation very well.

On Friday we went up to Cirrus aka Smith's New Work and enjoyed their family picnic and airshow. It was neat, I'd never been to an airshow and didn't really know what to expect. They are loud! We all had a good time and then to enjoy the beautiful weather we went out on Lake Superior in the big boat. It was neat i saw MN point from the Lake and was surprised that those giant big houses are not on the beach nor did it look like many people had Lake views. The boys did a little fishing, didn't catch anything only a few bites. We saw a boat getting filled with taconite and a beautiful sunset, and oh yeah i took pictures, a lot of pictures. Which are on top now. I'll keep the current month up there.

On Thursday Baby Lily came to visit. She isn't much of a baby anymore but that's what Hayden calls her. She is so sweet and you forget what a great age 18 months(almost) is. She was into exploring and tasting. She is quiet and then all of a sudden she says Thank You in the littlest sweetest voice. But I took a ton of pictures of her too! Click HERE to View Lily

We had a picnic last week in Billings Park too. Hayden got to play lots of baseball and was a very happy camper! My dad's friend Don and his son Anthony came with and played with him. Don pointed out Hayden's monster sized hands! He is just like a puppy who hasn't grown into his paws yet. Hayden had fun playing with a 7 year old, who was very good to him. They played on the playground and went on a little walk together, very cute!

On Wednesday we went Mini Golfing. Hayden got a hole in one on the first hole. He was actually pretty darn good. We kept his score and he got a 48, Jason a 42, Me a 43. At least i can still beat him at Mini golf! He loves his sports. He golfs in the yard all day long, then he plays t-ball, then soccer, then basketball and then a little football. This kid is crazy! He loves them all too! Someday i will be that Soccer Mom driving him to practice all week long.Such a boy.

Okay I went on and on. Look at the pictures on top. If you want to get right to certain pictures (like Jessica pictures) just click on the slideshow and it will bring you to the album through Picasa. Then you can download them, print them or just view them.
