Ready For School!!

So...It's school time.  For the first time we will have both of our children leaving for school during the day.  This is going to be one big change for us.  Blake is going to be starting kindergarten and Aiden is going to be starting preschool.  They are both so excited to be starting school and Blake gave me a huge hug when I tolf him tha the only had one more day until he went to school.  It was so cute to see that huge smile on his face.  I can only wish that he would be so excited about school starting all the rest of the years.  I don't see that being the case though so I am going to treasure just how excited he is now.  Aiden just can't wait to play on the playground that is at his school.  We went for orientation and he screamed the whole way home because he couldn't stay and play that same day.  Love that crazy boy.  I can't wait for Monday either, going to be a whole new chapter to our childrens lives and love seeing them becoming more and more independent everyday.  They are quickly groing into amazing little men and I can't wait to see what they become.

Wow Am I lazy or What?

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted.  I thought that it would be so much easier to just get on and let everyone know what is going on with us but, I am always doing others things and I never even think about posting.  I am going to try and be better about posting : )  Right now we are getting very exited about school starting.  Blake and Aiden can't wait to go to school!  Blake will be starting kindergarten and Aiden is going to be going to preschool.  The both can't wait for the first day of school.  I hope they are this excited for years to come.  Definitly going to be a big change for our household though.  Right now daddy and the boys sleep in until 10:30 or 110 before they get out of bed.  Now all of them are going to be getting up by 8 to get dressed and ready for school but I know that they will adjust quickly and have fun every day. I will have a few pictures to post later but for now that is about all that is new with us.  Lots of playing outside and preparing for school. 

HAPPY EASTER!!

Happy Easter everyone.  We hope that you have a great weekend filled with family and friends and lots of fun.  We had a party last night at Brett's house and today we are having a cook-out at our house for my parents and J's parents.  It should be lots of fun.

Aiden gets so tired from all of the activity that this is how he normally ends up.  Watching TV and just falls right asleep.  He didn't even have to lay his head down to pass out.  He is such a funny kid.

Hope that you all have as much fun as were having.

Birthday Boy! Now He Is 3!!

Wow, so I know that I have not posted in a really long time.  But, Aiden just had his 3rd birthday and I was bound and determined to get a post up about his big day.  So, here are a few pictures from his big day.

This was the night of his birthday.  As you can tell he is a huge show off.

Yes he is wearing a helmet while opening his gifts.  He is very accident prone and tends to lead with his head so he has decided that his helmet is necessary on certain days.  He says he needs it.  LOL

 

Such a big boy now.

I can't believe how fast my boys are growing up.  It seems like only yesterday that they were tiny little babies and now my baby is 3.  Crazy huh?

Lesson Learned

Last night Aiden hopefully learned his first of many painful lessons.  He burnt his little fingers on the stove.  I probably told him 20 times in a matter of two minutes that it was hot and he needed to stay away but if anyone knows anything about Aiden its that he absolutly does not want to do what he is told.  He has this 2 year old mentality that his is the smartest human to ever walk this earth : )  It does not matter how many times you explain to him that he should not do something he has to prove that he thinks he is right and try it himself.  Needless to say he quickly realized that I was right and that he should not have touched the hot stove. But don't worry he is fine it was more damage to his ego than to his fingers because the stove was off at the time but it was still cooling down (darn electric stoves).  I think that he know has realized though that he should not do that again and he avoids the stove like it is the plague, but that is a good thing :  ).  He does his best to make sure that he keeps us on our toes at all times.  My cousin James mentioned on his blog that his twins were very talented at quickly destroying his house.  Aiden is the same way, you blink you eyes and something has been destroyed and you don't even know how it happened.  I could not imagine having two kids tearing through my house at the same time.  I am sure that he will hurt himself again after we have done all we can to prevent it but I have learned that it is inevitable and it is just part of childhood.  Luckly for us he forgets about having hurt himself in a matter of minutes and goes on to play  He sure is a daring little guy buut he sure is getting quite a lot of life experience and he is a completly different personality than Blake.  Blake would rather sit down and read a book or put a puzzle together and Aiden is like the tasmanian devil.  Love you two.
