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!

Rylee is two weeks old in this picture. We bought this hippo to show her growth from month to month....watch her grow and grow and grow.
Aiden loves his baby sister. He loves to give her kisses and asks to hold her often. He doesn't like when we try to help him though and tells us "No" or "Move."

He's growing so FAST!

For those who have been waiting.....we have been very busy these past few months. I have started a new school year, Dustin is still working, we have made two trips to TN, and we moved from our condo to a house more than double the size, had a fun Halloween, and took Aiden to Disneyland. (Disneyland will be it's own post!)

I have more I will post later- enjoy in the meantime!

Happy 1st Birthday, Aiden!

A few weeks ago, we celebrated Aiden's first birthday with a Toy Story pool party. Thanks to some wonderful friends we were able to use their beautiful pool and backyard for the party! It was a lot of fun, and everyone enjoyed themselves. There were lots of laughter and kids splashing like crazy in the pool. Aiden, of course, loved to be in the pool the whole time.


Dustin wanted to make Aiden's birthday cake, and when he sets his mind to something he is determined. I am so glad that the cake turned out the way he wanted!









He didn't really dig in like Dustin and I both thought he would. Oh well, maybe next year!











Thank you to everyone who was able to share in Aiden's special day! We had a great time with great company!
