Happy Birthday!

We had a fabulous weekend celebrating Hayden's Birthday! My wonderful Hubby turned the big 30 and I've been stressed out about doing something fun for him. So here's how it played out. I got 30 gifts for Hayden and hid them in places that he would find throughout the day, ie his lunch, backpack, in the shower :) He got of work early and I had a babysitter lined up and a tee time at Fox Hollow. It was my first time golfing and I was HORRIBLE but it was SO much fun! Hayden did great and we doubled with my sister and her husband who are avid golfers and thankfully gave us tips :)


Then we had a wonderful dinner at Carrabba's and headed home for dessert, Chocolate Purses. This is one of Hayden's favorite treats so I made it for his "birthday cake." We opened presents and put Hallie to bed. I had a second set of babysitters lined up to come over when Hallie was asleep and we went to the movie "The Invention of Lying." It was pretty dumb, but we had a great time just going out. Neither of us could remember the last time we went to a movie!



The next morning I told Hayden we should go to the park with Hallie because it was such a nice day. So we drove to Rock Canyon Park and walked around toward the playground. I had balloons hidden in the trunk that Hayden pulled out with the stroller. Then when we got to the top of the park I told him I forgot something in the car so we rounded our way back down. As we got toward the bottom we came upon my sister and brother and their families. Cherie made delicious cupcakes for his "birthday cake" (yup awesome) Then my other sister and sister-in-law came later. Everyone was prepared with ice blocks to slide down the hill and party! We had a great time at this little family birthday party! I'm so glad everyone could make it!



I just want to do a little shout out to Hayden. He's so amazing and I feel SO lucky to have him forever! I need the laughs he provides and the love. He is such an amazing hard worker and I'm constantly impressed by all he does and the effort he puts into everyone around him. I'm so proud of him and I love him so much! Happy Birthday Baby!!
