Grandma Julie Day

They say it takes a village to raise a child.... luckily for me, I have an incredible village! I have wonderful women that treat Hayden like their own.

Over spring break, Hayden was able to do a lot of fun things and have a lot of adventures while I was at work.

Grandma Julie took Hayden and Brody one day. They "helped" in the garden, talked, ate yummy food and had a perfect day hanging out and being boys.


Happy Meals.... Grandma said that they were hilarious talking about everything from skylanders to school to friends to movies to how Brody liked living in his new house.
Of course, the playroom is the coolest thing. A box full of toys that they have picked out and only on special occasions get to play with. The adventures had within the confines of that toy box and room are the sure joys of childhood.
I love the look in Brody's eyes, showing how much he wants to be just like Hayden.
I can hear the sound effects coming out of Hayden's mouth just by the position of his lips. He has the world's best imagination. He can take anything and come up with an incredible journey, adventure, or predicament. Too funny!
Love this boy. Love how he crosses his legs. Love how he holds his action figures. Love how he holds his face. Love his sound effects. Love his imagination. Love his zest for life. Love his willingness to walk his own path. Love that he doesn't have to always "fit in". Love his self confidence. Love his facial expressions. Love him. Love his testimony. Love his gentleness. Love his playfulness. Love his ability to see a need. Love his his spirit. Love my boy.
Love that his dirty socks are in the foreground of this picture. I wonder if some day I will miss dirty boy socks being on the ground. Love that it is captured for me to always have.
Thanks, Grandma Julie, for taking Hayden on another fun adventure. And, mostly for easing his mom's mind about whether or not he is having a fun spring break.
