Camping out....in the backyard

Todd decided we needed to camp out in the back yard last night.  Aiden loves to tent camp and we havent got to go in a while so he was so excited when his daddy got the tent out.  But of course when you are camping in the backyard it is really easy to just bring a tv out and watch a movie.  Aiden thought it was so neat to watch a movie in the tent.  We watched monsters inc and then went to sleep.  He slept all night and woke up around 8:40 the next morning.  I didnt sleep all that well but it was awesome weather for tent camping.  I actually got a little cold in the night.  Yes I stayed out there all night!!!! I wasnt going to let my boys have all the fun!!!  We did have a lot of fun!  Maybe soon we will actually go to the lake and camp, but the backyard was fun as well and maybe a little easier too!

How sweet to hold a new born baby

We got to meet Mr Slayden James thursday evening.  He is so very precious.  He looks a lot like his bubba.  I got to hold him for a while on Thursday but I went back on Friday when it was just me and I could sit and hold him without Aiden roaming the room.  I think I held him for 45 minutes on Friday and could have held him a lot longer I just didnt want to bother his mommy and daddy.  Its been so long since I have held a new born and I couldnt even imagine Aiden that small although he was at one point and time.  It was weird seeing Aiden next to him because it made me realize how big my baby is getting.  Slayden is so sweet and was very aware on Thursday but on Friday he slept most of the time I was holding him.  I am so excited for him to be joining the group although there is no telling what his brother and Aiden will put him up to!

date weekend

Todd and I got to get away for a night to OKC. Back in January I got Todd tickets to see Jeff Dunham, a really funny comedian, for Valentines day.  He came to the Ford Center.  We stayed at the Sheraton there at Bricktown and we were able to just walk over to the show.  We enjoyed the show very much and were glad to get away with each other for a bit.  I havent laughed like that in a long time.  My cheeks were hurting from laughing so much for a few hours straight. We had planned on going to dinner somewhere in Bricktown before the show but our room clock was off thirty minutes so we didnt have time, we had to get food at the show.  Expensive to say the least but oh well.  We still had fun and we needed a night together.  We decided to sleep in the next morning and then did some shopping before we headed home to pick up our little man, whom had been spoiled by my parents.  So Todd and I had a wonderful time together and Aiden had a great time with his Pops and Nana.

Aiden the Builder

So most of you know how much Aiden loves Bob The Builder (I cant hardly say that without singing the tune, it drives me crazy!)  My mom thought it would be fun to go out to her school one afternoon because they have lots of equipment out there due to the fact that they are redoing their football field.  It was really muddy but we managed.  Aiden thought he was so cool "driving all the machines"  He was even singing the bob the builder tune while driving them.  Sometimes Aiden will sing "Mommy the builder can she fix it? Yes she can."  I am not sure how I became a builder but oh well its pretty cute.  My sister also had some baby chicks in her classroom so we went to see the chicks too and Aiden thought that was pretty neat.

Blanket Fetish

Aiden has this blanket fetish.  He has to have all of his blankets, all of his puppies, his bear, and at least two bebe's with him nearly at all time when he is in the house but always always when its bedtime.  I don't know what it is but he knows if even one of them is missing and will cry until you go and find it.  He is one silly boy!

Finally Easter Update

So I know Easter was a really long time ago and I am just now getting around to it so I wont say much other than he had a really fun Easter weekend.  We thought it may have turned out otherwise on Thursday evening into Friday morning because he started getting sick but lucky for us it only lasted around 12 hours.  We enjoyed the zoo's Easter event with free train and carousel rides.  Of course the boys loved the free train rides the most!  Then we went out to Owasso's Easter egg hunt where Aiden had a really great time.  After that we headed out to my moms house for a great dinner, egg hunt and our annual Easter egg dying.  We went to Church Easter morning and then off to Granny's house for a yummy Easter lunch and a huge egg hunt in the rain.  And for our last stop we headed to my dads house for dinner and Aiden's last hunt of the weekend.  Aiden really enjoyed all of it but I think he liked the candy the most.  Poor Brady was sick so he didn't really get to take it all in but hopefully next year will be better for him.  

Brady did manage to enjoy some of the candy!



Poor guy was so tired of waiting.  He could see all those eggs and just wanted to go get them so bad.

Tickle me Pink

We had a wonderful ladies event at our church the other night and I had the pleasure of going.  I got sit at the table with a few ladies I hadn't yet met and a few whom I do know.  With all the stress I have been under lately I was really excited just to go and laugh and enjoy and evening with no worries.  The food was yummy, the company was great, and the laughter as much needed.  It was a great time!

Fun in the Snow!

It was unfortunate that we had to cancel Brandi's baby shower but we decided to make the most of the snowy weather and go out to her dad's house and play in the snow.  Her dad has lots of land and lives on some hills and has a four wheeler that our husbands thought we be fun to drag our two year old babies behind.  But these two year olds joined right on in on the fun and weren't scared at all of riding in a tube behind a four wheeler.  It was a bit scary for me watching my baby being pulled with no adult in the tube with him but I know they weren't going very fast so there was really no danger in it at all.  Brandi and I stayed out for a bit and played with them in the snow and watched them pull the boys, but then decided to head on in by the fire!  Her dad made us some really good chili, that apparently won him a chili cook off that very week, and watched the basketball games on TV.  You can see in the pics that the boys were really bundled up and didn't really get cold except their faces and hands.  They stayed out there for a really long time.  They had so much fun and Aiden was very sad to see the snow melt the very next day!  This was really the first time that Aiden really got to enjoy the snow.  They made a snowman as well and of course he was a Sooner Fan.  And wouldn't you know that Aiden wanted to name him Frosty!
