Kayden is 6!

They say time flies when you are having fun.  It must be true because it doesn't seem like this kid should already be six!  He celebrated his 6th birthday a couple of days ago, but I waited until tonight to blog because he had his friend birthday party tonight.

Kayden on his birthday.  6!

We went to JCW's for dinner as part of Kayden's birthday celebration.  He was being silly by having the bacon from his hamburger dangling from his mouth.

He had to wait all day to be able to open his presents and it was pure torture!  But the time finally arrived and McKay gave him a nice "bonk" on the head.

"I wish you...I wish you....I wish you..."  He was so excited to open his presents that he had a hard time coming up with wishes to give us.  He finally came up with: 1. A trip to Florida.  2. A free trip to the zoo.  Gee, thanks!

This kid has been asking for a dog Pillow Pet since last Christmas.  Finally he got one!

Watching Kayden open presents is like watching your grandparents open presents on Christmas morning.  (Well, at least my grandparents.)  He took forever!  He finally ripped into the wrapping paper.

Kayden got his very own scooter.  He and his friends have been in to riding scooters lately.

Kayden's scooter wheels light up.  He loves it!

We waited for Josh's birthday (more on that later) to have a friends birthday party.  We took both boys and their friends to Hang Time (a trampoline gym) for some fun.  Kayden invited some of his favorite friends.

After Hang Time, we went back to the house for some pizza.  But first we had to sing Happy Birthday.  We put some candles in two pizzas instead of a cake and sang our hearts out.

Presents from friends is always fun!

Six Things We Love About Kayden:

1. His giggle.  Just thinking about his giggle makes me smile.
2. He loves school.  When it was time for fall break at school he was mad and said, "I don't like fall break!  I want to go to school!"  He is doing very well in kindergarten and is a smarty pants.
3. He loves playing with his friends and is always wanting to get them to come play at our house.
4. He is a good helper.  He is great at making his bed and he is an awesome stairs duster.
5. He LOVES playing and being with his brothers and is very loving.  He will stop whomever is leaving the house so that he can tell them good-bye and that he loves them.  He will also add a "Be safe!"
6. He is one stubborn kid.  Sometimes it is hard to love his about him since I am stubborn too, but someday I hope he uses his determination in a positive way.

We love you Kayden.  I am so glad you are our boy.  Happy Birthday!
