Old McHayden had a Farm

We had a party today for Hayden's first birthday. He doesn't actually turn one until Wednesday, but we started his "birthday week" celebration today! We had a great party with lots of friends, and as you can tell from the pictures Hayden had a lot of fun as well.

Bobby and I were both commenting that sometimes we don't realize how much Hayden really comprehends when we talk to him. We had been saying all morning long that today was his party, that his friends were coming over, etc. Well, once we had him dressed and people started coming, you could just see how excited he was...he knew that this party was all for him!!!

Pumpkin Carving

Last Saturday, we had some friends over to carve pumpkins. And now when I say, carve pumpkins, it's not your ordinary pumpkin carving...we got fancy! There were Dremel tools out, grapefruit spoons, woodworking tools...all to carve different designs in the pumpkins. We had a lot of fun and I think most of us are looking forward to it again next year!!
