Two year well check

Aiden visited Dr. Rhodes offices this morning. Aiden is doing great, now weighing 30lbs and is 35" tall. Both put him in the 75th percentile. He had to have the last of his Hep shots, and a flu vac. It was horrible to watch. Now that he is so big, and really understands what is going on - it just broke my heart! We were in the car headed home and Aiden says, "Mommy, my legs hurt". I told him I'm so sorry! He then says, "Dat (that) lady hurt me". I almost cried!! His sweet, loving, wonderful sister helped him to feel much better! She gave him her milk, held his hand and gave him a sticker. He is a lucky little boy! By the time we made it home he had forgotten all about that mean ol lady.

Happy Birthday Aiden!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW, we still can't believe it's been two whole years!! Where did the time go?! Aiden had a great day. Daddy stayed home from work to be with the big boy. We started the morning off opening a few more gifts. Then got dressed and headed to Plano. We went to Planet Pizza Plano, if you've never been - take the kids! It was well worth the drive! The have indoor mini amusement park rides, a huge play area, and some rather yummy pizza. Melony is now working in Plano, and since we've had Ryann for almost two weeks we thought it would be great for her to come along too, (well at least during her lunch break). We all had a great time! After a few hours of playing we headed to Gamma and Papa's house. The kids Great Grandmother is still in town, so they got to visit and play with her! Aiden got to open a few more gifts. Then we went to dinner, and headed home. Aiden crashed on the way. It really was a great day!

*see, I'm two!!*

What a Party!!!

We celebrated Aiden's second birthday on Saturday with a party at our home. We had a full house (47 people), and a great time! Lots of family and friends drove/flew long ways to be with us. I can not begin tell you all how much it meant to us to have you all here! I couldn't help but tear up when I looked around and saw you all standing there. We are so blessed to have each of you in our lives.

Aiden had a wonderful day! I was surprised that he wasn't at all over whelmed to have so many people here. He loved it! It was great to see how quick he took to people he had hasn't seen in so long, and some that he had never even met. He loved each and every one of his gifts!!! He and Ryann have had a great time playing with them all.

Thank you all for being here with us. You really helped to make this special day even more so!

We hope you all had a great time as well, and that you'll come back to visit again real soon!

How cute is this?!!

Adam took Ryann to her first dance last night. They had SO much fun! Ryann LOVED her dress. When I took it out of the closet, I glanced at her. I had the joy of watching the biggest smile take over her face! As I was pulling over her head, she said "I love you Courtney" I said I love you too. She said, "I love you 'cause you bought me this dress". It was so cute! While I was getting ready to fix her hair, she asked me to make it look like a princess - so this is what she got....

When they came back from the dance, I got to hear what a wonderful time they had. Ryann said they danced and danced to "lots of songs!" What a wonderful memory for them to share. I hope Ryann understands just how lucky she is to have such an amazing daddy.

To see more pictures of the princess w/ her king (and a few others) check out our albums.

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Day!!!

Busy, busy - but not much to report...

It seems like we've been running around like chickens with our heads cut off, but I don't have much new to report. We get Ryann today; she'll be here for a week and a half. She is doing great! She is no longer in school, since they are looking to move; hopefully closer to us!

Adam seems to really be enjoying being back in school.

Aiden is growing like a weed. His new fascination is tennis, so last Sunday we took him to watch his Papa play. It was fun!

He is still in diapers part time, but doing great! We haven't had to change a poopy diaper in MONTHS, so I think it's safe to say he IS potty trained in that aspect. He'll even wake up during naps/ the night to use the potty if he needs to. Oh, and his newest phrase (which cracks me up!) "Yeah, I know".

We're working on getting everything together for Aiden's up coming birthday party. I can't wait! Both his great grandmothers are making the long trip to be here! Some of his great aunts and uncles will also be here, along with lots of other family and friends. Adam and I are looking forward to seeing you all!!

Take care!
