This is one of Ayden's 3 year old pictures we had taken. He has gotten so good at taking pictures. He looks at the camera and says "SMILE". Man I love that kid.

Ayden thoroughly enjoyed being a dragon for Halloween. He loved having wings and a tail. He got really good at growling like a dragon. His most favorite part of course was the candy he got.

Zoo trip 09'

Hyrum and I took Ayden to the Zoo again this year. This trip was WAY more fun than the last one. He couldn't get enough of the animals. He tried to climb into almost every animals cage to play with them. He yelled all the animals names at the top of his lungs every time he saw a new one. It was like pulling teeth to get him in the car to go home.

D Derby

Hyrum and I took Ayden, his cousin Haylee, Aunt Kasandra, Uncle Zack and Alex to the demolition derby in Parowan. We couldn't find anywhere to sit and watch. I followed Hyrum as he snuck around to the pits to get a better look at what was going on. I actually didn't notice that we had left my brother Alex in the crowd of people. It was probably an hour later before we went looking for him. I felt so bad. We met up with my friends the Summerour's sitting on their truck watching the event. Ayden and Haylee had a blast playing in the truck. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of Ayden making dirt angels. Right before we left Ayden made a run for it out into the arena where the cars were being towed out. He really wanted to play with them. Ever since the derby Ayden has been telling me to crash my car. He says "mama car crash". He's just like his daddy!

Shinedown Concert

My best bud, my sister, and I all went to the shinedown concert in St. George this last Saturday. It was all of our first concert. It wasn't like I had expected it to be. We had a blast before during and after the concert. The lead singer looked a little scary but his music is awesome!

Ayden just loves to do anything that involves getting dirty and hanging out with the guys. He was just as dirty as his dad and his pa after working on the truck with them. He thought he was pretty helpful running off with their tools and parts. Some of wich have never been seen again.

Birthday Party

We got together as a family to celebrate Caleb's first birthday. Happy birthday Caleb! Ayden got to play with his cousins: Andrew, Jaren, and Caleb. With four boy cousins close together in age, I think they are going to get into some mischief at family gatherings.
