Big boy!

It’s official, he’s four; I don’t know how it happened. I swear I was holding him in the hospital....blinked and here he is FOUR years old!! Aiden had a really terrific birthday. It was so nice to have his party on his actual birthday. He woke up to find a gift from Daddy and Mommy waiting for him:

He LOVED it. The first thing he said was, “I’m going to have to be very careful, ‘cause that is huge!” He and Ryann took it out for a ride and the whole time Aiden was yelling, “THIS IS SO COOL, IT’S AWESOME!!!!!”. Both kids had a blast riding around the neighborhood.

Aiden is SO into Star Wars, and asked that his party have a Star Wars theme. Here is the cake:


Seriously how cool is that?!! The party was at ASI Gymnastics at Aiden’s request. The party was a lot of fun for the kids. I was a little bored, because they did EVERYTHING. I didn’t even have to unload my car……. Which was nice, but I like to do and be in control so I was going a little crazy! After the party we went home and Aiden opened his gifts. That kid so spoiled, he got everything he could ever want!! Thanks to everyone who came to the party, sent birthday wishes and gifts. Aiden really appreciates it all!

Sunday we headed to Benbrook to have breakfast and visit with Uncle Frank, Aunt Brenda, John and Jennifer. We all had such a wonderful time!! We don’t get to visit with any of them often enough, so this was defiantly the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning. As we were climbing in the car headed to lunch both kids were already asking when we could come back and play some more!

Monday afternoon I took Aiden in for his well check. He's doing great!! He weighed in at 39.4lbs and 42" tall, both just above the 75th percentile. He had to get four shots :( He did SO great though! The first two were in his arm. He watched the nurse administer those. He didn't even flinch - I was impressed! The second two were in his leg. Those made him cry and he asked the nurse, "Please stop". The tears stopped almost as soon as she was finished. He told me, "I didn't know they were going to be pointy". He had his first hearing and vision test and passed both. So I guess he is well on his way to turning five.

Happy Birthday Precious Boy!!!!

Just typing this seems surreal. You can’t REALLY be four already…. Can you?? Didn’t we JUST bring this sweet baby home from the hospital??

The past four years have been an amazing journey, that I thank God for every night. You are my pride and joy. I am so very blessed to be your mommy!

Take a little walk with me down memory lane..........

@6months: I can hardly remember you being this small.

@ 1 year: How cute is that little stinker?!

@ 2 years: And I thought you were a big boy then!

@ 3 years: Growing WAY too fast!

@ 4 years: You amaze me everyday!!!

My Dad is MY Rock Star!

Well, that was the theme for this years Daddy Daughter sweetheart ball any ways. Mr and Miss Nabors had a wonderful time! Ryann was so excited about this years dance, she started asking about it just after Thanksgiving!!

I'm so happy they have this special event to look forward to, a night just for the two of them! They are so lucky to have each other!!

Hello, hello!

My boys and I took a trip to College Station for Chandler’s, (Jenny and Emrick’s son) forth birthday!


Chandler is a whole 20 days older than Aiden and one of my best friend’s sons. The boys have only had the chance to spend time with each other a handful of times in the past four years, although you would never guess it! The second we walked in the door the boys were in the play room, acting like life long friends. We got into town Friday night, and Chan-man’s party was Saturday. Before and after the party we visited some of our favorite places in College Station, and then Saturday night we headed to Magnolia to visit with Jayme, (another bestie!) and Patrick.


Sunday we headed back to College Station did a little more shopping and eating before heading home. We had a wonderful time, but were happy to return home. We were also ready to pick up Jax from Aunt Kim’s…. we really missed the little guy!


Life has not calmed down around here. It feels like we are on the go ALL the time. Our home has become the place where we sleep and that’s about it. There are days were that wears on us a bit, but we’re all handling it quite well. Work keeps Adam and I super busy these days…. Adam may not even get this weekend off. Saturday, he’ll get home just in time to whisk his little princess off to the annual Daddy Daughter Dance; and they are both very much looking forward to that! I’m still trying to figure out something special for me and the boy to do that night, he is so jealous he can’t go to the dance.


The kids had a dentist appointment almost two weeks ago, and unfortunately Ryann has her first cavity. We’ll be getting that taken care of next week we hope. Daddy’s on a mission to get all that scheduled.


Aiden’s birthday is coming up in less than three weeks! Can you believe he is going to be FOUR?!! Boy, time sure has flown!! We’re very excited; his party will actually be ON his birthday this year. And if you’re wondering, no I haven’t forgotten about you – I still haven’t sent out the invites yet, (YIKES!!!!) I hope to have that done by the end of the week, (if you know me at ALL, this is a pretty big indication of how busy we are...) He’ll have his first school field trip the week following his birthday. I’m hoping to take the day off to tag along.


School is going really well for all three of my scholars. Ryann took the SARR test again last week, and we should be receiving the results soon; I can’t wait to see how much her skills have improved since the beginning of the year. Her last report card was great, pulled her one B up and now has all A’s! Aiden is doing really great. I believe his evaluation should be done soon too. Adam hasn’t been back from the holidays that long, but I think things are pretty good there too.


Well, I better get going; I need to help Aiden pack his bag for his trip to the moon tomorrow, (they are focusing on the solar system this month at school) he is SO excited!
