Happy Birthday, Hayden!

We had such a good day today! Hayden decided to celebrate his birthday sleeping in until 8:30! YAY! Breakfast was a cupcake - because I'm an awesome mom. Then we went to the Farmer's Market - which is one of his favorite places to go...and mine, too...we got the BEST watermelon there today! YUM! Anyway...after that we went up to the St. John's Town Center so he could ride the train. Every time we are up there he begs to ride it, but the stinkin thing is $3 a person so we never do. He had so much fun!

He's got a silly face because instead of "Cheese" I kept making him say "Happy Birthday!"
Ready for the ride!

All aboard!
After that we went to Target to pick out a present from Grandma Lorna and he got some water guns, a bubble blower and a Blues Clues DVD. Thanks, Grandma!!

While at Target there was a "Hurricane Preparedness" event going on in the parking lot, so there were fire trucks everywhere! Chick-fil-a was giving out samples of chicken nuggets and lemonade (side note - they have the best lemonade ever!) He got to go inside of one of the rescue trucks and they gave him a fire fighter hat and ball. What a perfect thing for a 3 year old!

The way awesome latter

Then we had our little party for him at Grandma Brenda's house. They played on a slip n slide...of which I got NO pictures - so use your imagination. Then we dined on grilled hot dogs and cold watermelon. He had so much fun today playing with his friends and even drinking *gasp* a soda!

The very lame birthday cake
Did you know it's impossible to get three kids to look at the camera?This is what Hayden did when I told him to "hold it up" so I could take a picture...
