Aidan 5 year old pictures

Here is my stud muffin for his 5 year old pictures.  I know I am biased but I just think he is so adorable.

 

I love that cheesy grin!

 

This picture makes his look so old

 

This is my favorite picture of him.

You can see it in his eyes.  He is just such a happy boy!!!

 

I got his pictures taken the same time I got the twins 3 month old pictures taken.  By this time the twins were so done but at least it shows that I tried!

 

3 of my 5 favorite men!  Man I am one lucky momma!

Aidan's 5th B-Day Party

Aidan wanted a pool party for his birthday and we were going to have it at G Ma and Papa's house but when G Ma offered to rent out the cool ladies pool Aidan was so excited.  He loves this place and I think this was the best part of his birthday.

 

He invited some cousins and friends to join him.

He got donuts for her birthday party instead of cake...per his request

 

He was over joyed with his gifts if you can't tell from his face.  He hasn't stopped playing his lego Wii game.  He has seriously played it every day since.

It was a fun filled afternoon!

Aidans 5th Birthday

My little boy is officially 5.  It is exciting to see him grow and develop but also sad to see him lose his babiness and become such a big boy.  

 

He started his birthday with opening presents.

 

His new favorite thing to do is build legos (thanks to my sister who bought him some for Christmas).  So we bought him a huge box of random legos pieces.  They spent hours that morning building different things.

 

He then had his favorite breakfast which is dad's homemade pancakes with sprinkles.

We ended the day as a family having cake and ice cream.  Trev asked Aidan what kind of cake he wanted and Aidan told him a ninja cake with oreos.  Trev made him a batman birthday cake last year and it had crushed oreos on it so that was an added request for this year.  Random I know but what the kid wants the kids gets for his birthday. 

 

This is Phineas from Phineas and Ferb.  There is an episode of them dressed up as ninjas so Trev made a cake of it.

 

He loved it.

 

Happy 5th Birthday Boy!!!!

8 wonderful years

I can not believe I have been married for 8 years.  Just writing that makes me feel old, but if I have to grow old I am so thankful that I get to do it with my best friend.  I know everyone writes that but he truly is.  He knows what I am thinking even with out me saying anything. He knows when to push and when to let me be.  He knows how to cheer me up when I have had a long and exhausting day. He just knows me better than I ever thought someone would.   

 

I love him for so many reasons but here are just a few....

 

1. I love him cause he makes me laugh (most of the time when I don't want to)

 

2. I love him cause he makes me want to be better than I am.

 

3. I love him cause he is a great cook and loves to cook for me.

 

4. I love him cause he gave me 5 beautiful children.

 

6. I love him cause he is a great dad.  He teaches them how to work hard but also teaches them how to play hard.

 

7. I love his cause he works along side me and isn't afraid of a little poop.

 

8. I love his cause he is hard working and ambitious.  He wants to provide well for his family.

 

9.I love his cause he is interesting and is always wanting to learn about new things.

 

10.I love his cause he is a great listener and always willing to hear me when I need to talk.

 

11.I love his cause he is quirky and you never know what he is going to do next.

 

I am so lucky to be married to him for eternity and I can not wait to see what the future holds for us.

 

(this is the last picture I have of us together...its from April and yes I am large with child...ren)

 

 

Love you Babe!!!!!!

Flip n Out

My kids love this place and ask when we can go back all the time.  We bought tickets to go there a couple of months ago off a discount website but haven't had the chance to use them.  We have been busy with Trev's law school and with me having the twins.  Well since Trev was in between semesters and the twins have been sleeping through the night we thought it was a perfect time to go.

Daddy sliding with Corbin

 

Corbin was a little scared but he did it anyways

 

KK and I got our pictures taken in the photo booth.

 

I love when we can just hang out and have a chill afternoon as a family.

 

Mommy Time

Summer was kind of a blur...with waking up in the middle of the night to feed the twins and trying to get them on some kind of schedule.  I tried though to make special time for each kid. I never want my kids to feel forgotten in the mist of our chaotic life so every now and again we do Mommy Time.  It's time we set aside for an individual child and they get to choose what we do for a half hour.  KK had her Mommy Time and she chose to do some sand art.  She loves mixing the colors and taking her time filling up the bottles.

 

It was nice sitting there spending some good quality time together. 



 

I love my little girl!

Ward Swim Party

Our Ward has an annual pool activity at the Mesa Rec center.  The kids love it cause there is a slide and I love it cause there is a shallow end that Corbin can walk around and play in with out any floaties on.

 

Corbin running around

 

We grabbed In n Out for dinner so here is KK chowing down on it

It was a fun little outing!

Swimmming

There is this awesome pool in a ladies backyard that she rents out to people for parties.  Andrea rented it out one Saturday for us to go and hang out in. There are two waterfalls you can jump off of, three slides, a bridge to jump off of and a volleyball net to play with. The kids were in heaven.

 

Here is KK jumping off there waterfall with her Papa
