Happy Anniversary!

What an amazing three years!! We did most of our celebrating a few weeks ago in College Station, so we just went out for a nice dinner here. If you haven't been yet, go to the Melting Pot. The food was so yummy, and it's a lot of fun!

Those four letter words!

Adam and Aiden are sitting in the living room, watching the fighting Texas Aggies play some football. Aiden has had me just about rolling on the ground hearing him yell, "Go, go, goo!" and "Get it!", "Throw the ball!!" All very cute and innocent phrases. Then what do I hear??? "Awww SHIT!" Yes, you read that right. Adam got onto him, "No Aiden don't say that word, it's not a nice word..." I whisper, well did you say it first? To my surprise his answer was no. That means Aiden has picked up that word.... I'm first to say, it's most likely my fault, that word escapes my mouth in the car more often then I care to admit to. Gamma is always saying you hear yourself in your kids, lesson here - mommy has a potty mouth, and is going to do MUCH better watching what I say in front of my little parrot!

School Days

Aiden's first day at Little Texas Scholar, or "reading school" was Saturday. It was an emotional morning. Aiden was doing really great, and then every kid in the class started crying. It turned in to and Mommy and me class for a few minutes. Once Aiden was settled and happy I slipped out the door. He is so excited about reading school, he talks about it daily. We are really happy we decided to go this route.

Ryann was home this weekend. We have all missed her SO much! It's amazing how much bigger she looks, after only three weeks. School is going good for her too. She couldn't remember much about school, so I don't have any details. She did tell us, "Mrs. West doesn't teach, we just play and play at school" I hope that isn't correct! She seems pretty happy with school, so that's good. We had a wonderful weekend with both our babies here. We can't wait for Ryann to come back.

Lots of new pictures up, they are all from Saturday because I forgot to take my camera to Gamma and Papa's house on Sunday. I'm trying to get back in the habit of taking pictures daily...we'll see.

Hope you are all doing great!

Aiden has a girlfriend!!!

Or so I hear. My friend Monique and I go to the gym every morning. She has a four year old little girl, who Aiden gets along with fabulously. Monique called me yesterday to let me know Lilly, (her daughter) told her Aiden was Lilly's boyfriend. Lilly told her mom, "Aiden is a really good kid, and he likes to play in the rain with me". "He is my boyfriend." How cute is that?!

We don't know much new. Aiden is doing great in swim school. He has already made some progress, we are so proud of him! Gymnastics is still going great! He still looks forward to going every week, and hates when class ends.

Aiden will start "reading school" this weekend. We are so very excited! It's the Little Texas Scholars Early Childhood Reading Center. They teach kids as young as three to read. We would love if that could happen, but are just excited to have him in a class room setting. We thought about putting him into a preschool class, but he already knew everything they were going to be teaching. We just couldn't see paying someone to reinforce, when I'm home with him already to do that. In this class he will learn things, that I have NO clue how to tech him at this age. Plus, it will give Mommy and Daddy some much needed time together - interruption free! We can hardly wait!

Ryann will be back home with us this weekend. We haven't had her for a few weeks, and it's beginning to wear on us all. We miss her Soooooo much! We can't wait to hear all about school, and what she is learning, and about all the new friends I'm sure she has made.

Expect LOTS of new pictures from this weekend. Have a great one!

I love a good deal!

We were out running errands yesterday after noon. I needed to run into Walmart and pick up a few things. We walked by some clearance isles, and HAD to stop and take a look. Turns out that at that particular moment that Walmart was offering half off the clearance price on all the toys. Knocking prices down to at most a 1/4 of the original price... needless to say, our Christmas shopping is now half done! This was my favorite find...


Aiden had a blast playing on it yesterday evening.

If you guys were wondering where the post about Ryann's first day of school was...
Here it is - kinda. We were unable to make the trip to be there with her. We did get a call after school ended that day. She told us she had a wonderful day. Recess was her favorite part. She said she likes her teacher. Ryann started on Monday the 27, and has been enjoying school since. Her mommy was only able to snap a few pictures. Thanks for sharing, Melony!

Well, I really need to get to cleaning. Hope you all have a great week!

Ryann has a new cousin!!!

Dean Alexander Davis arrived Friday August 31st at 1:10 a.m. Dean weighed 7.0 and was 20" long. Mommy and baby are doing great! They were able to return home just hours after the baby was born, how awesome is that?!!

Ryann has already met her baby cousin. I heard she didn't really know what to think of him at first... he was screaming and crying. Looks like it didn’t take any time for her to warm up to the little guy!!

Our Anniversary weekend...

Adam and I celebrated early this year. I think we've decided that this will be our annual celebration, a trip to College Station, a room at Messina Hof and an Aggie game. This was our second year, and it was an absolute BLAST! We started off with a trip to the book store on campus... boy, are we getting old! Then we headed over to visit Jenny and her brood. After that we checked into our room. It was beautiful! We then headed out to an Aggie soccer game. It was fun, our girls WON!!! We met up with some friends at North Gate, and then headed to Harry's. I swear I saw most of Normangee.... it was fun!

Saturday we did some more shopping, and then headed out to the game. We had awesome seats, thanks to Jason and Jennifer - thanks again guys! It was a great game! Then more fun out with friends. It ended too soon, that's for sure.

I was eager to get home to my baby! Although, he isn't much of a baby anymore. It's safe to say Aiden is potty trained. It's great, but very bittersweet; almost feels like he doesn't need me anymore. I know that isn't true, but it really feels that way....

Thanks for reading, check out all the pictures from our trip. Enjoy your Labor Day!
