October 2009

Happy Fall! So what has been going on with us. Aidan had surgery this past month which went well and I believe bothered me way more than it did him. We were in and out in a day and he was back to his old self the next morning. Thank goodness for the great people at Scottish Rite who were great to us the whole time. Aidan has begun to talk a whole lot more and repeat almost everything you say. I believe "tractor" is still his most common word he says. He absolutely loves to ride a tractor. This weekend I decided to try to take photos of Aidan on my own and I think they turned out well with the help of Nana we got some really good ones. These are the ones in the slideshow below. I have not had time to edit them so for the most part they are straight out of the camera. Hopefully I will have more pics to post after this weekend and Halloween. We have a couple of events to attend which I will have my camera at. I will also try to post some of the pics from Aidan's hospital visit and some random ones of him around the house. See Ya Soon.....

August 2009

Hello all,

Yes we are still here just busy. I started back to school this month so posts may be rare while I am trying to keep up with Aidan, Adam and school work. This month Aidan turned 18 months old I can not believe he will be 2 soon. Time flies when you are having fun. This month we have been trying to enjoy the wonderful weather here are some pics to show you what we have been up to.

Aidan favorite thing to do is ride in "Daddy truck"

He says this constantly because that is always what he wants to go do.

Aidan's first time making home made ice cream!

He loved it and had so much fun helping Daddy.

We also went and watched Anya, Papa 2, Daddy round up the cows.

He loves the cows and loved this!

We are having a blast watching Aidan grow and change. He says new things everyday and mimics almost everything we do. He is an absolute joy! Post again soon!

Aidan Cruising in his Car

This is Aidan in his car at Mawmaw's. He loves this car and spinning around in it. Funny thing is this was mine when I was little. It has been through about 4 grandchildren now and still going strong. My Mawmaw says she can't believe the wheels have not wore off.

Our Summer so far...

This Summer has been a lot of fun with Aidan. He is getting so independent and wanting to do so much. He is spending the Summer staying at Nana's everyday and giving Mawmaw a break for a while. He loves going there and seeing Bo and Flip Nana's dogs he starts calling Bo when we get in the car every morning. They go to the park in Newnan and go play with Gage and have lots of fun. He is starting to talk a lot more and pick up on things very well. He will say thank you and your welcome if told to but hopefully he will start saying it on his own soon. Here are some pics from the park in Newnan with Nana.

I have also been taking him to Mrs. Dot's pool every once and a while. He likes the water but would rather play with her wind chimes or Big Harry's dogs. Since he runs around the pool so much we bought him a vest to wear at all times while he is there just in case. He doesn't mind it at all because it is so slim he can still do whatever he wants with it on. Hopefully next year he will want to spend more time in the water and Mommy can actually enjoy the pool and not chase Aidan the whole time but it is still fun just for him to get to go there and spend time with Mrs. Dot and Big Harry.

Also, Daddy has been having fun taking Aidan fishing this Summer. We have not gotten him a pole yet but he likes to help Daddy with his. On our last trip Daddy caught a huge fish and Aidan tried to help but it was almost as big as him so to keep it from taking Aidan away Daddy reeled it in. If you are wondering why Aidan has no clothes on it is because they were drying. Daddy decided that it was OK for him to swim with the fish. He loved it so that is all that matters! As you can see we have been really busy this Summer but Mommy and Daddy did get to have a relaxing weekend with friends at Mrs. Dot's cabin in Blue Ridge it was great. We missed Mrs. Dot not going with us but we are definitely getting her up there with us next time. We took Chip and Rachel and J.P. and Ansley with us to Blue Ridge. We spent one day on the lake and one day floating the river. Then at night we just hung out around the cabin and relaxed with great friends! Aidan stayed with Mawmaw and Pawpaw and enjoyed riding the tractors and playing. He loves to go there it is so hard sometimes to get him to want to come home. Here are some pics of our weekend.

Hopefully, I won't be so long before I post again. Hope everyone's Summer is going as great as ours!

Mother's Day 2009

These pics are from mother's day. Angie took some really good ones so I wanted to share them. This was Aidan's first time this summer in the pool and he loved it. It was still a little too cold for me to get in so Adam volunteered.
