Wish you enough

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

Another Halloween pic

Ok so Stacy took Aiden with her to her moms school's Halloween party. She decided to dress both her kids in their costumes, so I thought I should send one for him too. I just didnt want his polar bear costume to get a stain on it before that night. Lucky for me, Lacey had given me another costume. She knows how much I love elephants and her aunt had an elephant costume! Here is a pic of how stinking cute he is in another halloween costume!

First time to

...play with play doh. Todd came home and decided we needed to do a fun activity. Something we hadn't done before! We decided on play doh! Aiden had fun, but I think Todd and I had just as much fun as he did.



These are Todd and my creations. Mine is the red snowman and Todd's is the blue. It was great family fun!

Party

My mom had her and a friends birthday party on Saturday night. It was at a pizza place that has a banquet room on one side that also has a dance floor. My mom and her friend go there on Tuesday nights for dance lessons, and they really enjoy it so they knew this would be the perfect place for their birthday party! They both looked beautiful in their new dresses! My mom enjoyed some fun time with her family and friends but I think she enjoyed the dancing most! Of course Aiden was right there in the middle of the dancing. My friend Angela came and brought her daughter Addey and my sister, her husband, and Brady were there. The babies got to play together and have fun. Aiden was trying to show Addey how to dance but she just didn't seem to think he really knew what he was doing! We did get a really cute picture of them kissing though. It was really sweet! Brady took his first two steps crawling at the party! I think he wanted out on the dance floor with everyone! Aiden was a little jealous though if his grandma danced with anyone other than him. But I think this made grandma's night! We all had a lot of fun!Aidens first kiss! Isn't this sweet. I am afraid of what Addeys daddy thinks!My sister has decided that Brady is the party pooper of the family! He was asleep when the party started. But I think it is great that he will sleep anywhere in that amount of noise!

Sorry no Pictures

I was so upset yesterday when we went out to Todd's sisters land and I forgot my camera. We had been out and about and Todd thought he was going to have me drop him and Aiden off before I went over to a friends house to take some family pictures for them. We stayed out longer than we had anticipated and they had to go with me to take the pictures. We never even thought about not having a diaper bag because I had extra clothes and diapers in my car. I was really sad when I got there and realized my camera was in the diaper bag.

Todd's sister has goats and pony's on their land. We knew Aiden would enjoy it and he did. The goats were terrified of him, but it didn't take much for the goats to be scared. I think he had more fun just running on their land. It seems to go on forever and Brad and Bree ran along with him. They also have a couple of dirt bikes out there that Brad rides and Aiden loved them. Of course I wouldn't let him ride on one with anyone, but he sure enjoyed sitting on them and making his vroom vroom sound. After we left the land, we went to Mazzios for dinner where Brad won him several little toys out of the toy machine and then he chased Bree all over the place. After that we took him out to Ange's house and let him jump on the trampoline. Todd jumped with him and had a lot of fun. Sorry that I don't have any pics for you all to see how much fun he had!

Dance Monkey Dance

Aiden loves to dance. I am not sure how he learned how to dance, but we do know that he doesn't get his rhythm from his daddy! I have been trying to capture him dancing for a long time now and just have not been able to capture it the way I want to, until wed. night. He is in his costume but he sure is having fun dancing!

Ball Ball Ball

As everyone knows Aiden loves balls! He has a ton of them, books about them, all kinds of clothes with basketballs on them, and now even knows when a ball game is on tv. Here are two clips of him talking about baketballs! One is a game on TV and the other is him reading his book about a basketball game!

After the Fall Festival

Our son was wired to say the least after the fall festival. I think he caught his second wind because he didnt have any candy at the fall festival so I know it wasnt a sugar rush. Here is a video clip of him.

Lunch with Friends

Ok so this was a week ago, and I am just now posting about it but last Friday, Stacy and the kids came up and we went shopping and to ChickFilA. We had a wonderful time and we met this lady who sat by us that was their with 4 children (2 were hers and 2 were kids she watches), we chatted with her the entire lunch and she was very sweet. I even thought about getting her number to use her as a backup babysitter if I ever needed someone close. Crazy huh and then I remembered I have a very good back up! When we were in WalMart Stacy had this bright idea of letting the boys go through the toy section. The both of them didnt want to leave! Luke "needed" everything and Aiden couldnt take his eyes off everything, lucky for me Aiden is a little easier to distract and get out of the toy department without any toys in our hands, Stacy on the other hand wasnt so lucky. I dont think she really cared though (she is a sucker for that baby boy of hers)! Here are some pics of the kids at lunch .

Fun at the Fall Festival

What a night. I have been waiting for Aiden to wear this costume for over a year now. I bought it for last year cause it said small on the listing and I thought well maybe it would fit, but I was wrong. So it has hung in his closet just waiting for this year. I was so excited when I put it on him and it fit! I was also worried that he wasnt going to leave it on or it would be too itchy, but he did great. He was having so much fun at the festival. I knew it was going to be fun this year, but I had no idea it would be this much fun. He was wired! I was glad that Todd and I decided to take him to our church for this crazy event. It was so crazy. They had so much stuff for kids of all ages. They had free food, drinks, entertainment and of course all the candy any body could dream of! I am not sure how many people were there but I think it had to be at least a thousand or more! Here are lots of pics for you!

I think it is kind of funny. Kimberlee told Todd that he was a monkeys uncle! Hehe!

Poor monkey, this is how he started the party out. He was so tired that he fell asleep in the car on the way to the festival!

We couldn't get our kid out of this thing. He loved jumping in it so much. Todd had to literally drag him out of it each time it was some else's turn. I am not kidding, I think Aiden went in this thing at least 10 times! The ladies who were running it were afraid he was going to get hurt by the bigger kids, but Aiden didn't care he just wanted to jump. He was definitely the happiest in the Jump-a-thon!
Of course, leave it to Aiden to find a ball. This wasnt even part of any of the games. It was just at one of the check in tables. Aiden wasnt too happy to leave it, he wanted to take it with him.Brady decided to wake up and join the party. He looked so cute as a monkey. I couldnt help but giggle everytime I saw him!

Here are some of the babies and kids of couples in our Sunday School class. I loved getting to see them in their costumes. They all looked so cute!

This is a little girl in Aidens Pre School class. She is very sweet. Im not sure she recognized him as a polar bear though!

Here is Aiden after the fun ended. When we got to the car he was so tired he could barely keep his eyes open. He was sound asleep until.....
we got home and had to put his jammies on him. I think he caught a second wind cause he was wired. He ran around going crazy for at least another half hour! We had a lot of fun! It is really sad, but I am already trying to think of what he is going to be next year?!?!?!?
