"Happy, happy birthday Jaden Dear!" I can't believe he is 1 already. Oh my goodness. Well, his first birthday was spent 8 hours in the car driving to Las Vegas. He did fantastic though. We stopped and had dinner at Wingers, in Utah.
Here he is playing with his dessert. Mom and I REALLY enjoyed it after he played in it for a while.
"Playin' with the boys!" Kent and Kyle were able to come up for a few days. It was really fun to have them, and I know they had fun with Dad. Jaden loved having his uncles and Papa around at the same time. He was definitely in need of some guy time.
Helping Uncle Kent! Their first meeting, and they completely hit it off!
When we were in Vegas, there were little rides throughout the mall. He LOVED them, and yes he screamed when it stopped moving and I took him out.
Papa's "Buckaroo". OK, so it's not an E-2; however, it is in the same career field! My sweet, little pilot.
Jaden loves hiding places. Anything that he can crawl into or under, he will find it and be there. He was helping Grandma with the laundry, and once the last item of clothing was out of there, he helped himself to a nice warm place to climb up into.
Another little place to crawl in. This was in the hotel in Vegas on our last trip.
Wearing Papa's shoes! These are a hard pair to fill.
Helping Papa mow the lawn. His is a lot more fun than the actual lawn mower; his plays music!
Yet ANOTHER place to climb into! He was proud of himself for this one. It was a tricky one, what with the wagon tipping over a few times and everything before he mastered balancing it as he got his legs in. Quite the grin, eh? :)
