Hayden you are 6!
Can you believe it? We sure can't!
How you've grown into such a great boy this year. You are so kind, funny and great. You can make us smile, you are a great big brother and the highlight of every body's day.
You started Kindergarten this year and show us daily how smart you are and how you love to learn.
You learned to tie your shoes in September.
You love sports and played soccer, tball and basketball this year on teams. You golfed often with Daddy....going to Nemadji lots!
You read every night before bed with your favorite book being Llama, Llama Mad at Mama.
You love to play Wii and received many new games for Christmas. Lately you like to color and draw us pictures. But any chance to play outside you take it!
You still sleep with your fringes and lots of animals have taken over your bed.
You like always love the water being the shower, bath or Smith's Hot Tub.
You kind of are a poky little puppy!
You were size 13 shoes, S/M Shirts and size 6 pants.
You are very polite and have great manners!
You are good friends with Jack and Jed at school, talking about them often Jolene too!
You are still quiet and shy at times, other times we can't get you to stop talking!
You truly amaze us each and every day!
Happy Birthday Hayden!

Smith Family Photo! Here we are on a hunt for a christmas tree. We had lots of fun exploring Smith and Papa's woods. The whole clan was there, Michael and Laura, Smith , Papa and us. It was actually pretty warm out too! The boys had the Royal Treatment getting pulled around in sleds and sipping on juice boxes. We actually found a tree, that was about 4 feet too tall for our house, but with a little trim its all set and decorate in the living room! It even had a huge, nasty cocoon living in it. I found it when I was home alone with the boys and pretty much freaked out. It was the color and size on a chipmunk. Mike opened it up and found a HUGE dead, black Caterpillar. Still gives me the creeps!

The Winter Weather as set in! We don't mind though....and the baby loves his mittens! We still are working on getting ready faster with Hayden, snowpants, boots, mittens take a Looooong time for our resident slow poke.

I got a new computer! Yeah! I am finally learning where everything is on Windows 7!

We are very excited for Christmas and Birthdays!

At Dr. Maria's yesterday you answered all of her questions with uh-huh. It was very cute to see you sitting in the chair in just a diaper answering the doctors questions.
You love to play with blocks, trains and balls still. You have been carrying around up to 4 big bouncy balls about the size of you fist, not sure why though!
You love to wash your hands and brush your teeth like a big boy. You use our IKEA stool and can reach the sink in the bathroom.
You love apple juice and will only drink milk with a little(very small amount!)chocolate added you simply don't like the taste of milk.
Applesauce and yogurt are favorite foods at the moment.
