Smiles

Hayden and I spent a few days in Spokane recently to celebrate his auntie Jaci's bday. We had a great time. I was able to actually spend some alone time with my sister as well to do some much needed birthday shopping. Hayden is getting so big, he is much more animated and loves to "talk" while kicking around on his blanket. Plus he smiles all the time now and recognizes voices which is fun to see. We have our 2 month check up this week so we'll be able to see how big he is actually getting at this point!

After our trip to Spokane we headed home for Boat Race weekend. Lampson always has events lined up for each day and Michael is always really involved. My mom helped us out so Michael and I could enjoy our first date night at Bill's party that Friday night. It was a little weird being away from the little one just the two of us for a change...I only called home once! Saturday was spent relaxing while Michael was at the Lampson Golf Tournament. Hayden and I joined him for the tournament dinner that evening at the country club and I think Hayden was a big hit, plus he did really well around all the people- including our friend Michele Colter who stole him for awhile to show him off to everyone. The boys enjoyed their first golf function together and I know Michael can hardly wait until Hayden gets some sticks of his own to start playing around with!

Cute pics!

We are approaching the 2 month mark already and Hayden is getting bigger. He is finally getting to wear some of the cute outfits everyone bought him, up until now he has been too small still. But when I say some I guess I mean one or two outfits...still growing into most of them! We were able to enjoy a nice dinner out with my parents at Tagaris recently and he was great! I think he likes being outside. Check out his big boy shoes! We're off to Spokane for my sister's birthday so he is becoming quite the little traveler already.

Caledonian Games

Last weekend we spent some time in Athena, OR with Michael's parents. It was the annual weekend of Caledonian Games. It is a Scottish Festival that is over 100 years old. Hayden got to experience his first parade, featuring lots of bag pipes! There were clans represented from all over and dancing in the park. The high school fields doubled as the headquarters for the games which included sheep hearding, sheath tossing, and the caber toss. It was all very interesting and the town doubles in size for the three days of festivities! When we could stand the heat we were able to do lots of people watching and we cheered our friend Bill on in the sheath toss competition.

6 weeks and counting

Time is already flying by it seems... Hayden is 6 weeks old and other than a little cold this week we have slowly been getting into more of a routine around the house. We have been able to venture out more and more, which has been nice. We have been able to meet some friends and family for dinner occasionally and last week our good friends Kortney and Geneva visited with their little ones from Spokane. We spent the 4th of July in Spokane with family and Hayden took his first ever dip in water! I'm not so sure he was too thrilled since we basically woke him up to do it. He looked pretty darn cute though in his little swim shorts!
