I cannot believe that 4 years have gone by since our little Hayden was born! Time sure does fly. He was born on July 16, 2005 at 8:06 in the morning. He got to come a little early by C-section, because my pregnancy was being a difficult one. I sure didn't complain about him coming sooner! He weighed in at 7 lbs 7 oz and was 20 inches long. The crazy part was that he was a boy! We had been expecting a girl... her name was going to be Madisyn, I had lots of cute girlie things... and low and behold, in the Operating Room when our new baby was born, Jared's eyes got huge, and the nurse said: "That's not what you were expecting, was it?" I was confused for a minute, but then I had to tease my Dr. who had NEVER been wrong before! We had a boy! I was only surprised for a minute, then it just seemed right. Perfect! It took a little longer for the idea to sink in with Jared. He has a hard time deviating from plans... even one like this! We had to come up with a name quickly, and Hayden was just the perfect name for our new little guy. I am so glad he was a boy! That made two of each for us.
Well, of course the first year FLEW by. He was walking by the time he was 10 months old, and he hasn't slowed down since! He was a sweet but busy baby! Here is his first birthday!
Gotta love 2-year-olds. Hayden was a joy... but sometimes a challenge. He learned to climb everything, get into everything, make a mess with everything... but those big blue eyes made it hard to get too upset! Here is his two-year-old B-day. (And a couple more from around that time).
Then he turned 3! Oh boy! Three year olds are sometimes really hard, but ALWAYS so much fun. It was fun to have real conversations with him, and he learned SO much! These are his 3-yr-old portraits!
Now I can't believe we just celebrated his 4th Birthday! He had a great party, and a wonderful day. Here are a few pics from his birthday. I'll post some from his parties next time!
Happy Birthday Buddy! We love you!

Wow I can't believe he was born with such dark hair, and now he is a blondie. What a cute little guy he is.
Ilove his blue eyes!! and love the tractor cake!!!
Time sure flies, I remember that morning when out came a little boy, and I rushed home and gathered up all the boy clothes you had given me so he didn't have to be naked! What a cutie he is, we love him so much!
I know... I was so grateful that you had gotten a lot from your shower, because I really felt kinda guilty taking back Bryson's hand-me-downs that I had given you!
