Aiden adores his baby sister and loves to help mommy and daddy! Rylee helped Aiden celebrate his second birthday with an adorable Minnie Mouse shirt from her Aunt Shelly!
Rylee went miniature golfing at about the same age Aiden first did! I guess we have a new tradition!
Rylee was all smiles for her Pappy!

Who doesn't love Aunt Riah!

Happy Birthday, Aiden!


Aiden has grown so much since that first picture two years ago with this bear! He is fun loving and just full of energy ALL of the time. This year, Aiden has really started to enjoy Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so that is the theme we went with this year for his birthday. It was very fun to create the decorations and personalize the sweet treats! We hung one of the banners up before the party and Aiden would always point to it and say "Ickey birthday!" We had tons of fun with lots of friends and my parents at the party, and of course Aiden had a blast playing outside and in the water!










Aiden at 2:
*weighs 24 pounds 8 ounces
*33 inches tall
*says please, thank you, excuse me
*Has a vocabulary of at least 200 words if not more
