January

January was a month of big celebration. Hayden turned 3 and we celebrated with his friends with a dinosaur dig at River Bend Nature Center! Although the weather was cold and rainy, the kids had a great time digging for dinosaur bones and checking out all the cool bugs, etc that the Nature Center houses. Our field guide gave a very informative tour and then it was time for presents and CAKE! Hayden's sitter, Miss Connie, made Hayden a volcano cake and it was a hit. He talked about his "bolcano cake" for weeks! Here are some pics from the party. (Thanks to our personal photographer, Geri, for capturing all the fun!)There were some BIG bones in the sand to dig!

The birthday boy next to his volcano cake!

Hayden helped Emma celebrate her 3rd birthday too!

On Hayden's actual birthday, David and I took him to play miniature golf. He really enjoyed it (although he thought the higher the score, the better!)

And I had to throw in this picture of Hayden and his cousin Katelyn. He just loves her!
