Another year older...

Jayden just turned 11!  Because he is my oldest, I am always shocked every year at his new age.  It really does go by so fast!!!  We always take the kids out on a special Mom and Dad date for their birthday, and this year Jayden chose to go to Lehi Trafalga and to eat at Cafe Rio.  We had a lot of fun!

 Laser Tag

 Go-Karts

 The rock wall

Jayden is somewhat afraid of the rock wall.  He

gets up a little ways and then gets scared and comes

back down.  I bribed him with $5 if he went all 

the way to the top.

 Look who conquered his fear!!

He is very motivated by money :)

 Miniature golf

 

 Cafe Rio

Jayden almost ate an entire burrito himself!!!  For being

such a skinny kid, he can certainly pack it away when he wants to!

 We also let Jayden have a friend birthday party.  He chose to go to Nickle Mania again (same place as last time).  The sad part is that we had to do his party during the middle of Spring Break, and only 2 friends could come.  They still had fun though.

Here are some fun things about Jayden...

He loves: video games, reading books, movie night, playing games, being tickled by his mom, pizza, Cafe Rio, fishing, camping, sports, and school.

He hates: spaghetti, spiders

He is really good at: math, (actually, all of school), doing his jobs EVERY day without being reminded, saving his money, helping out his mom.

Favorite colors: blue & green

As I was looking through old photos of Jayden to show here, I found some fun ones that are a little different.  I thought it might be fun to share some unique ones :)
