Growing like a weed

Aiden visited Dr. Rhodes yesterday for his three year well check. It was a great visit, for one; because Aiden is happy and healthy. The other, because he didn't have to get any shots! Aiden was more than happy about that! He is getting SO big! He is continuing to follow is arch nicely, still in the 75% in weight and height.

35 lbs

38"

He also had his blood pressure taken for the first time. He was so intrigued by what the nurse was doing. He sat perfectly still, and watched her every move.

Party Time!!!!!!

What a party! Aiden had the most amazing time. I mean, how often do you get to go swimming in February?! We had a great turn out, and I think all the kids had fun. Here are a few pictures, but like always you can see LOTS more in our albums.






Aiden is so blessed, and spoiled - one of the great gifts he got was a Spiderman camera. You can see his handy work by clicking the link to the right titled Aiden's photos.

A Glimpse

Into how Aiden spent his third birthday!

Bowling in the afternoon....





Chuck E Cheese for dinner and play....

Then home to open/play with gifts from Mommy and Daddy....

I think it's safe to say, he doesn't have much of a problem turning three anymore!
**LOTS more pictures in his birthday album!**

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!!!

So, today is Aiden's THIRD birthday; can you believe it?! I can't, seems like just yesterday we brought that sweet little baby home from the hospital.


Do you guys remember that? Gosh, he sure has changed!
We've got big plans today to celebrate this birthday. We started off early this morning, he had two cupcakes and a sucker first thing this - hey, you only turn three once! Then of course his pirate party this weekend, he can hardly wait! Until then, we hope you are all doing great. Check our photo albums when you get a chance, I'm sure I'll have a TON of pictures from the next few days.

Got my new lens!!

And I LOVE it!!! It really makes me want to save up some money and buy more! Here are a few pictures that I snapped with it. Nothing spectacular just snaps of Aiden when he was some what still.

Can you believe he is going to be THREE on Thursday?!! It blows my mind! He has grown so fast, it's hard to keep up at times. He finished up this session of "reading school" on Saturday. Miss. Rhonda has been very impressed with how quickly he has learned, and is ready to move him up to the next level. We are so proud of our little smarty pants!

Double Trouble

They look pretty sweet and innocent don't they? Please do not be deceived, together they are wonderful little terrors! Saturday evening they found their way into our "front room" the one room the kids are not allowed unless accompanied by an adult. This room is full of all kinds of fun things, the computer, my camera, the video camera, all my *priceless* scrap booking paraphernalia, you get the point. Ryann and Aiden's world of make believe brought them to this wonderful, unexplored world and they just *had* to have the office chair. Some how it got spun out of control knocking down my beautiful camera and smashing the lens. Oh the horror! I cried, I yelled, I blamed everyone; then came to the hard to swallow truth, no matter how many rules were broken by our sweet mischievous little darlings, I should not have left my camera out - open to such harm. The good news it, it's being replaced; even as we speak with a new BETTER one. So I guess it all works out okay in the end!

Okay, on to our weekend! This was a special weekend. Ryann and Adam planned to attend the annual Daddy Daughter Dance. Ryann picked out her dress about a month ago, and has been anxiously waiting this wonderful night since. She looked absolutely beautiful! She and her daddy had a wonderful time at the dance!

A little ticked that boys don't get to have any fun at a stinking daughter dance, Aiden requested a Spiderman night. So I took that and ran! We had Spiderman mask, cookies, juice and let's not forget the wonderful web (silly string). I brought the bounce house in the living room; aired it up - and the fun began!

After all our fun we met up with Ryann and Daddy for dinner. It was a magical night!
