Dear Hayden,

You picked the LARGEST zucchini (or goo-see-kee as you say) from your garden!! Here are some pictures.

Love you,
Mama

Dear Hayden,

This week, we are participating in Vacation Bible School at church. You are staying in the nursery, where you are doing crafts, singing songs and going on walks! We have a great time there in the morning and then we hang out with friends afterward in the afternoons! Madison comes to VBS every year, too, so she is staying with us for the week — you love having her around — you are constantly looking for her and asking for her if she isn’t in the room!

Love you,
Mama

Riding Home to Play with Chet and Lily and Madison

Dear Hayden,

Your dad is RAD! He loves you so very much! You have a great time playing with him, and the two of you share so many things — you garden together and for Father’s Day, you and I got him a fish tank — which the two of you are having a splendid time tinkering with! Today, Jiddoh and Maggah are here, and then this afternoon we are barbecuing with Nana and Papa — all of us together. You are one lucky lady because you have a dad, 2 grandfathers and a great grandfather who love you like crazy.

Love you,
Mama

Awesome Dads!!

Dear Hayden,

I spent last week at camp! I missed you terribly, and I was so lucky because you and Dad came up and spent the day with me on Wednesday. You loved camp!! You did a lot of exploring, you played tether ball and baseball, you played around inside an abandoned old fire truck and you bounced in the bounce house. You also got to try camp food and you got to go to evening worship — which you loved because you got to dance. I had a great time with the kids at camp, but I was so happy to get home to you!

Love you,
Mama

Dear Hayden,

We headed up to Flagstaff this weekend to celebrate Dad’s birthday. Bobby and Kelly came with us and we had a GREAT time! On the way home, we stopped at a trout spot and went fishing! You loved it! Your dad is a special guy. We are very lucky to have him in our lives. It’s fun to celebrate him!

Love you,
Mama

Trying on some funky shades!

Dancing to the music in a big open area outside a BBQ restaurant that is tucked inside a basement clothing store

More dancing!

Your two dads! Ha! Riding the lift elevator — kind of scary!

Then Bobby gave you a train whistle…

…and you learned how to use it…

…and use it, and use it, and use it!
