Happy Birthday Jayden

Here's a birthday shout out to Jayden. His birthday is this week and he is turning 5 years old. He has had such a great year this year. He has finally gotten to play soccer, and what a fantastic player he is! At the first game of the year they kicked off and he took that ball straight down to the goal before any of the other kids even knew what happened. He scored multiple goals each game, and we just had to work on keeping his head from getting too big. He is an aggressive soccer player, and we are excited to see his skills continue to improve each year. (he's in the blue with the ball)

Jayden learned to ride his bike this year. He was unsure of learning at first because his friends hadn't started learning, so we held off. Then once his friend Zane learned, he wanted to. It took 5 minutes with Daddy, and then he was a pro. He was definitely ready.

Jayden is such a sweetheart. He is very kind to his brothers. He is the quiet helper that does things in the background that he sees needs doing. If Austin is crying, he will quietly sit by him and try to help him with a binky. Or if someone wants to sit by Daddy for family prayer, he will quietly give up his spot so they can be by Daddy.

Jayden is a happy and fun kid to have around. One of my favorite phrases of his is "Okay, Mommy." Music to my ears!

Jayden is also very adventurous. He is usually the first one to try something new. When we went boating with my family he was the literally first kid out on the wave runners. Once out on the boat, he was one of the first out on the tube. He couldn't get enough of any of it. He LOVED it!

We are so glad to have this boy in our family!! Happy birthday Jayden!
