Ten years have gone by since Jayden came into our family. It's hard to believe. With his birthday being on a weekday and his after school activities it didn't leave much time for partying. Tanner and I had lunch with him at school, and we went out for dinner.
Tanner was a riot at lunch. He is so social and goofy.
We were talking the other day about all the adventures Jayden has been on in his lifetime. It's a lot more than I did by the time I was his age. He has swam in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico, been to 29 states (by the time I was 10 I'd been to maybe 6, and I didn't see the Atlantic Ocean until I was 26), has run through Texas blue bonnet fields, eaten ice cream at the bluebell factory, ridden to the top of the St. Louis Arch, visited Yellowstone, the Tetons, and the Smoky Mountains, hiked in the Rockies, the Blueridge Parkway, and been to the highest peak in the Oregon Coastal Range above the clouds, visited the Alamo, Nauvoo, Palmyra, and Kirtland, experienced Niagara Falls, he crossed the Mississippi during a minor earthquake, toured the largest aquarium in the world, stomped on grapes with his bare feet at the Biltmore, been to Disney World and Disneyland, hugged a giraffe, played under cover in a hailstorm with golf ball size hail, visited NASA, ridden a 100 year old carousel, he's seen the Space Needle, Mt. Ranier, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Hood, has been to Temple Square and the Conference Center, and walked around the grounds of a dozen temples, and so so much more. I have loved experiencing it all with him, and it's still hard to wrap my mind around him getting older. Love this kid!
