Short Stories

So we have been having a lot of fun lately and I haven't had much time to post.  So I thought I would share some cute short stories of funny things Aiden has said lately.

Wed afternoon when it was so nice out when I got home from work I asked Aiden if he wanted to go outside and ride his four wheeler.  He was so excited and we were outside for a very long time.  He was riding and he came by me and said "bye mom got to go".  Puzzled where he thought he was going he came right back by and said "OK I am back now."  So I asked where did you go.  His response. "Work" to which I asked "oh what did you do at 'work'?  "Oh mom I was just working at work!"

Then on Thursday my mom happened to be in town so she went by and picked Aiden up from Shelly's and my mom asked him where he wanted to go eat lunch.  He thought for a minute and told her he wanted a hamburger.  She said Braums and then immediately remembered my story from the last time he visited Braums and quickly changed her mind.  So he then asked if he could go to Wendy's.  Which is funny because we don't eat at Wendy's all too much but that is what he wanted.  My mom hadn't a clue if we had a Wendy's and if we did where was it at.  So they are in the car driving and she tells him that she is going to have to call mommy to see if we have one and ask where it is at.  He tells her "Yes we do and you turn left!" so she says well I think I will ask your mommy and he again says " I told you turn left!"  pretty funny for a two year old!

So then at dinner last night we were desperately trying to get Aiden to eat his dinner which in an every night battle with him but last night he was not going to give into us and eat.  I tried and tried and tried to get him to eat.  So then at some point of my trying he got tired of it and preceded to tell me "Mommy, you are bugging me!"  How in the world do you not laugh at that.  I haven't a clue as to where he learned that but my husband tells me he learned it from me.  

Hope you enjoyed a few cute stories!

To the Loves of my life

Happy Valentines day to all.  I wanted to post about the two most special guys in my life.  Don't get me wrong rest of my family means the world to me and I love them all. However, Today I get to share the day with the two guys I love the most!

First My husband.  He is so amazing.  I cant even begin to describe how much I love him and how in love with him I am.  He always takes care of me and tries his hardest to make all my dreams come true.  I love where our life has been and where its at right now.  I truly look forward to our future together.  

And for our precious son.  He is the light of my life.  Although he has really tried testing me lately, I cant help but look at him and smile.  He brings so much joy and happiness to me and our family.  To see life through a child's eye is very precious and short lived so I enjoy life everyday with him.  I am so thankful that God would bless me so richly with him.  There is nothing sweeter than hearing him tell me he loves me and getting to tell him I love him!  I know there are days that I smother him because all I want to do is hold him, give him kisses, and tell him I love him.  But he is the greatest gift God has given me!  

I love both of my guys very much and feel blessed beyond measure.  I am so thankful to God that He gave me these precious gifts.  

Most embarrassing moment (yet that is)

With Todd being gone a lot (4 and sometimes 5 nights a week) I don't have many groceries in the pantry or the desire to cook for just Aiden and I (bad mom I know because he is the most important one out of all of us but he is such a bad eater).  Not only is he a not so good eater, I also do not want to take the time that it takes to cook clean and force him to eat.  So we have been doing a lot of frozen meals and eating out.  This week has been a rather long week and exhausting week for all of us.  So Thursday night I decided it would be fun and relaxing (should have known you cant put relaxing in the same sentence with a two year old) for us to go and eat somewhere.  Aiden said he wanted Braums.   I could see the wheels spinning on how he was going to get him some ice cream.  I told him if he ate all his hamburger he could have some and I was excited to because I will never turn down mint chocolate chip ice cream.  We ordered and it was nice because there were just a few people in there so not too much to distract him.  He piddled for a while and then told me he needed to go to the bathroom.  He only seems to want to go when we are in public and its hard on me to get him there with all our stuff.  So we left our food on the table which I was a little uneasy about but nevertheless when your two year old boy tells you he has to go, you listen.  We got in there and he got scared.  So we went back to our table and got situated again.  Not two seconds after I took a bite after sitting down he told me again he needed to go.  So off we went again and as we were headed in I looked up to see Braums was now packed with people ordering both dinner and ice cream.  Aiden again got scared and I asked him to please just try because this was the second time and I really thought he needed to go.  He started screaming NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO at me and I said ok he didn't have to.  So we leave the restroom to return to our seats where are food is patiently waiting for us to eat and people are now looking at me like I spanked my child in the bathroom.  OK no big deal, we are just gonna eat our food.  So I am tired at this point and I have eaten all of my hamburger and most of my fries and I am really excited about some mint chocolate chip ice cream.  Aiden piddles even more and I tell him for 10 minutes that if he doesn't finish his hamburger we cant get any ice cream. So after seeing that he is not going to eat any more I am done and I take our tray and his remaining food and throw it away.  Unfortunate for me my son understands what this means and stands up on the table and is now screaming "don't take my food away, I want to eat."  So now all eyes in Braums are back on me and I now know I am not getting any ice cream either and it is time for us to leave.  So I calmly grab our stuff, pick up my screaming crying child and start to head out the door as every one watches me.  He then precedes to tell everyone there that "I don't want to go with you, I want to stay here."  I got out of there as quickly as I could and was mortified that those people probably thought I was a horrible mother.  But I am sure I made some mother laugh and recall the days where her two year old embarrassed her the same way.
