Hayden's 2nd Birthday

Hayden's 2nd birthday was a Thomas birthday. He was so excited when every where he looked he saw "choo choo". We had family over for dinner and cake and of course opening gifts.

Did I mention that I made the cake? Not like you couldn't tell, but it was the first time I have ever done anything like this- much less bake a cake. It was all well and good for the first half hour and then it turned into a geological experiment. It was not good. Good thing I took a picture before the major damage occurred. Lesson learned!

Hayden didn't seem to mind though- he liked the cake anyway.

Proud parents of our little man!

The really cool present he received from the entire family.

Easter

Easter was all about family and food. It was great that Lauren, aka Sissy, was in town this year and was able to be apart of all the festivities.

Hayden even went Easter egg hunting at Nana's and Papa's. He had a great time!

Botanical Gardens

We had the opportunity to see Chihuly, glass art, at the Desert Botanical Gardens. It was really amazing and beautiful.

The butterfly exhibit was also open while we were there. Hayden didn't even notice his friend.

Just hangin' with Uncle Neil while we check out the rest of the Gardens.
