Hayden is now 3!!!
Here are a few pictures from Hayden's Birthday party. We had a friend taking pictures as we helped move things along. We had about 15 people there. We did have some that had to leave early. We had a great time, especially Hayden. He just enjoyed playing with his friend that came and showing people his bedroom. Joey and I filled his room up with balloons when he was taking his nap that afternoon. While Hayden opened presents we were able to skype with Nenaw and Papa! There are also a couple of pictures as we were leaving for his first day at Mother's Day Out today. He had a great time. Enjoy the pictures!

Flashback
Today is Hayden's 3rd Birthday. It's crazy how much he has changed in just this past year! I thought for fun I would give some flash back pictures of our favorite little man....there is a party tonight so I will have pictures of that later on......
The moment we told my papa that he was going to be a Great Great Grandpa!! He was so excited..." I'm going to get to see one!!!" It was priceless!
We didn't know what we were having...besides a baby of course.
First time to hold him!
First family picture! I'm looking a little rough.
Coming home!!
Homecoming gang!!
During the first few days at home...Joey was working Lowe's 5-10am and would come home and sleep for a little bit.
About 6 weeks old I believe.
Not sure the exact age here but look at those eyes!!

WE LOVE YOU HAYDEN! HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY!! LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY MORE!

one more thing
I know each time I look at the blog the music on their is annoying....so my next project is to get it off there. In the meantime just turn your computer down. Sorry!
Back to Normalcy
This past July was loaded with lots of fun for the Buck Family!! Now I can say we are back to our "normal life." I started my workouts again and I am happy (believe it or not) to say that I am sore. A few miles on the treadmill Monday and Wednesday, family bike ride (totally about 6-7 miles) which included an extra 30 lbs (Hayden) and Smoky Mountain Hills. I am beat but I am glad I have the opportunity to workout. As most of you know I am training for a half marathon. If you do not know I am telling you now because this is my accountability. I want to tell people because I see it as an encouragement not to give up. Right now I am only running on a treadmill because it is ridiculously hot outside but when the fall comes I will try to do strictly outdoors to get the hills included in my runs. November 13th in Nashville is where the race is. Come cheer me on if you are in the area then.
The day of our anniversary (July 1st) Joey, Hayden and I were able to meet up with some wonderful Texas friends at the Biltmore Estates in Ashville. They even let us use their passes to go through the house and they volunteered to watch Hayden outside the house. What a nice anniversary present!!! They sendt us a Biltmore Estates photo album that had pictures of them and Hayden while they watched him!! Precious!
The beginning of July Joey's parents were able to come from San Antonio for the whole week. The plan was that Hayden would stay with them just one night so we had a date night but that ended up being just about all week which was nice. THANK YOU! Closer to the end of the week I surprised Joey with 3 great friends from Texas which was in the works since February. He was beyond shocked; he was speechless!!!
We were able to have lots of friends over for Joey's Birthday party which was a lot of fun!!! Something that also took place on Joey's Birthday was Cow Appreciation Day at Chickfila! So of course we dressed up and got our free meal!!
It was sad to see everyone go back to Texas but we know we will get to see them in the next few months again.
After they all left we had one short week to plan for my parents and grandparents arrival the following week. On top of their trip here was our family from Virginia who was also going to be coming and staying at the same place as my parents. We had a wonderful time with all of them and anxiously await the day we go to their place in VA since they are our closest family now. There was a total of 16 of us!!! Hayden and I were able to stay at my parents condo all week!! It was wonderful to be with the family the whole time. My parents even brought their Wii which we never even played (except for Harrison) because were just so excited about just being together and catching up!
My mom and Aunt Fay
My dad and Uncle Tom
I think Hayden's favorite part was getting to ride in a helicopter. My dad, cousin Kelly, and cousin Tom were with him and from the pictures and videos Hayden enjoyed every minute of it. This makes me feel better about our 2 hour plane ride to Texas in September.
My cousin Kelly who is a pilot of a KC 135 in the airforce took Hayden in her arms and really showed him what he was seeing. Thank you Kelly!!!
Here is the rest of our crew getting ready for their ride!!!
And last...we were able to make it to Cade's Cove. One of the stops to see an old cabin ended short when the Park Ranger informed us there was a bear on the trail. My family go to see it which was good.
Hayden and his great grandpa!
Hayden is patiently waiting!

Don't be jealous! This is what I get to see everyday!
After a week with my family, Joey, Hayden, and I moved into the dorm to be the houseparents for our Summer Staff. It was really pretty fun to be able to hang out with them and get to know them on a different level!
After 2 crazy weeks (yet great) we are officially living in our house again! It has been nice and I believe we have slept til close to 9 every morning. I actually had to wake Hayden up yesterday at 9:45.
Happy early birthday to Hayden! He will be 3 years old next week! Hard to believe he was this little!!!
Next on our agenda.....Hayden and I will be flying to Texas in September and spending 9 days there with family and friends! Then Joey's parents again in October!!!!
Love you all! Come see us!!
