What an awesome week we've had! Hayden has been excellent and just a joy to be around. He is so witty and full of life, if only we could all be like him. Carson too has been a great baby all week. Sleeping 3 nights through the night and just being smiley and happy.
We have been trying to stay upbeat about this whole sucky weather thing...I want a beach day! But 73 is warm enough to be outside having fun. On Saturday we went with my mom and dad on a giant outing! We had pizza and went to the Blueberry Festival in Iron River and Jason came with! Hayden rode on the "old school" rides and had blast. We minnow raced(Brandon won), ate Cotton Candy(the good stuff, not flavored!) and got rained on just a little bit. Then it was off to Hayward for some Famous Dave's and Hayden was lucky enough to have Papa Moe take him to throw rocks in the water...1 of Hayden's favorite pasttimes. After that we headed to Chetek for a drive in movie! SO cool! They play family movies so we saw Ice Age 3 and part of Harry Potter 6. The drive between Hayward and Chetek is beautiful with rolling green hills, farms and gorgeous lakes, that sparkled as we flew by them(we were running late!) I definitely want to drive through that area again soon. Sunday we had a private burial for Jason's grandpa and then Hayden went with Papa and Smith for the night and next day. On Tuesday we went to a hotel by cousin manages and swam and went down the waterslide. Carson even went in the warm kiddie pool and loved it. He didn't complain the whole time we were there. We had fun and enjoyed the time with Angie and her clan. Wednesday Hayden raced and did awesome he did is 1/8 mile(I think!) in 1 min 27 secs. He ran hard and had a huge smile on his face the whole time! We also primed the shed as a family and got it done, now to paint it! Thursday we invited Jacob to spend the day with us and we went to the Fire Museum down the block from us with my dad and Brandon. The boys had fun climbing on the fire truck and playing in the jail. Hayden let me explain things to him and seemed eager to learn about things he didn't know. We went bowling with my mom and Brandon after that and had lots of fun as we all are pretty competitive! Hayden had lots of fun and was so funny when his ball would go in the gutter-which was just about everytime the first game, we then hooked him up with his own lane with bumpers.
We've been busy, whew! But thats what summers are all about!
