Tooth Brush? No, no that can't be right!

This is how I started my morning:
Mommy, "Aiden go to the bathroom so I can brush your teeth."

Aiden, "I love my new teeth brush!!"

Mommy, "I'm so glad you love it, but it's a tooth brush; not teeth brush"

Aien, "No, no... You brush my TEETH, not just my tooth"

Mommy, mumbles to herself, "I can't argue with that!"

Aiden and I woke up to an empty house. Adam left for the week. We miss him like crazy when he is gone, but also LOVE the time to ourselves. We also woke up to a COLD front!! I already miss the warm summer sun!!!

We had a wonderful weekend!!! Friday was Adam's day off, so we took Aiden to play at Paradise Pond - we love that place!!
Saturday we had to redecorate the yard. We suspect a dog got a hold of our blow up pumpkins. I started our shopping trip saying, "I want cute Halloween, not scary" somehow that translated into turning the front yard into a grave yard - yeah not sure how that happened! It looks great though!!! Adam and Papa took a trip to Frisco Saturday night to watch some tennis. They got to watch McEnroe and Courier.

What is the fun of watching McEnroe, if you don't get to see him have it out with the ref??

Adam had a blast!!
Sunday Aiden got to try his hand at flying a kite. The weather was PERFECT. He thought it was pretty cool, but lost interest when we pulled out the football. In looking at the pictures you notice Aiden wearing gloves... yeah, I have no clue what that was all about. He asked to wear them when we were getting him dressed, and surprisingly they stayed on almost all morning.

We forgot all about the Blue Angels coming to town, but that turned out to to be okay, we got to see most of the show sitting in our front yard.

I would file Sunday and our trip to the park under wonderful! The whole day was filled with family time. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my Sunday.

I'm working on getting pictures from the weekend up, check back soon to see those - I'll edit this post later to add a few.

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!

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!

Wonderful weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend! Adam, the kids and I had a picnic at the Botanic Gardens. It was a BEAUTIFUL day ~ It was made for spending some quality family time outside. We ate, and then Adam and the kids played soccer. It was a wonderful time!! This was my mother's day, since Ryann was not with us last weekend. I couldn't have thought up a better way to spend my afternoon.

That evening we headed to Denton to watch Ashelynn at her first State comp. She did AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! She will be moving up to level 5 next week. We also found out what a little smarty Miss. Ashelynn is too. She is finishing up the third grade, which means she took the TAKs exam. She scored a 100 on the reading section and a 99 on the math! She is being urged by her teachers to join the math team. She said she is thinking about it. I mean this girl got it all ~ looks, athletic talent, and brains!

Over all she scored a 35.125 out of a possible 40 - she is amazing!

Lots of new pictures up! LOTS of the kids at the gardens and just about all of Ashelynn's meet. The pictures from the meet start on pg22 in the May folder. A lot of them are pretty blurry because I couldn't use a flash, and my battery was just about gone.

Hope you all have a wonderul week!

Another week gone by....

And still no post?! Ha! Life is good, which means it is also BUSY!!! Last week seems like a million years ago, and I can't remember a thing. SO, we'll just skip to the weekend. We picked up Ryann Thursday afternoon. You guys would not believe how grown she is! Sometimes it's like talking to a mini 14 year old. She keeps us rolling with the things she says! Her counter part, little brother is much the same. I swear to you, he is the funniest kid! From what I remember about Pop, Adam's grandpa; I think Aiden has his sense of humor - it seems to come very natural to him. He is just too funny :)

So, we picked Ryann up Thursday and had a wonderful time talking about all the fun things she has been up to. She is now a BIG girl, and can swing all by herself - meaning she no longer needs an adult to push her! Friday was Daddy's day off, so we hung out at home, we tried to take the kids to see Meet the Robinson's in 3D, but we had some AWFUL rain and the lights went out, so they sent us home. Ryann will be with her Mommy this weekend for Easter. The Easter bunny must have known, because when we woke up Saturday morning Ryann and Aiden each had a basket full of goodies waiting. We had an egg hunt, (inside because of all that rain) then headed back to the theater. It was a really cute movie. Aiden did really great; he even kept his glasses on for the WHOLE movie! Sunday the kids got all dressed for Easter and we headed to Papa and Gamma's house where more Easter goodies and an egg hunt were ready and waiting.

It was another great weekend, that we were sad to watch pass so quickly. We can't wait for next weekend when Ryann will be back, but until then we hope she has a great time with her mommy.

I have been hard at work getting pictures uploaded. You wouldn't believe how many pictures we have! I just need to get the rest of 2004 and 2005 up and then we'll be all caught up! Take a look; you'll be amazed at how much these kids have grown is such a short amount of time! All the pictures are up from this weekend too.

Take care, and have a wonderful week!!!
