Somebody turned NINE on Monday!! I can't believe I have a nine year old!! The time went way too fast. Anywho, Ayden got to spend his birthday doing some of the things he loves the most. One of which is baseball!! His team had a game on Monday night and Ayden's great grandparents were going to come and watch him play. He is always excited to see Nana and Papa and this time was no different. What he didn't know was that his Grandma Margaret was going to show up and surprise him for his birthday too!!! His team played well and won the game and the base race. After the game Papa wanted to treat everyone to ice cream.
Papa has a love affair with ice cream!! We headed to the closest ice cream joint to our house and we indulged.
Ayden was really excited to be with Papa!!
Lauryn was happy too, don't let the face fool you. This is number 4 or 5 in a series of shots. Each one with a different expression. This is the only one where she wasn't moving, and therefore the only one that isn't blurry!! Crazy girl!!
Grandma Margaret and Nana enjoyed their ice cream as well!!!
Meysa and Lauryn got their standard bubble gum ice cream and thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Wyatt on the other hand commandeered my strawberry smoothie!! I didn't get much of it darn it!!
Then we made our way home for presents. Nana & Papa sure know what Ayden is into these days. He loves his new sheets!!!
Mom and Dad got him a baseball bag so he doesn't have to lug all this stuff around in his arms.
Grandma Margaret got him some books to read over the summer. I know the picture doesn't look like it but he was really excited to get these books. He also got a gift card from his Papa Don which he used to purchase Star Wars Legos of course. He was generous too and bought his sisters each something.
We really are lucky to have Ayden in our family!! He is a good kid with a lot of energy and imagination. He just earned his wolf in scouts and is really excited to be in the Bear den now. I guess this is the last year for single digits for Ayden, a scary thought I might add. It was fun to celebrate Ayden as always and I think he had a fun time celebrating too. We love you Ayden!!

It was so fun to surprise Ayden - and great to see all of you! What a fun night!
Happy late b-day to Ayden, my how they grow up way to fast!
Good luck on the new calling, I have been prim.pres. for 2 years now (even with Brent in the bishopric for the last 6 months) and once you get used to it, things will get easier. My advice, delegate what you can to counselors who are there to help and don't stress about things, it all seems to work out every sunday! Good luck!
