Here are some pics from Chad's wonderful 4th of July party and Hayden's 3rd birthday party. At Chad's we ate BBQ, watched Cedar Park's, Leander's and his neighbors 5k+ firework shows, sung Karaoke, and stayed up late. For Hayden's birthday party, we had a carnival theme with snow cones, cotton candy, nachos, frito pie, a hot dog eating contest, watermelon seed spitting contest, duck pond, lollipop tree, face painting, pinata, tattoos, cupcakes, etc. Hayden was spoiled with gifts by his friends and family who love him. I often say that Rowan is my lover and Hayden is my fighter, but Hayden is one of the sweetest boys I know. Sure he has to cry at least 3 hours a day to get his emotions out, but he also spends at least 3 hours a day telling me how much he loves me, kissing Rowan, learning new things, or helping around the house. He is the first to kiss your booboos if your hurt, always saying fanx (thank you), runs and grabs a towel if he spills something, loves to go to Mr. Gatti's, and he remembers absolutely everything. He amazes me everyday with how smart he is. He loves for his dad to tell him stories before he goes to bed (Kevin is a great story teller). We love you tons, Hayden!
