Little Clown..

c

Aiden is getting ready for his circus Birthday Party in his clown costume. I found these at the dollar store and he has been running around with them on. The glasses are a kick!

Like father like son.. ..

Aiden is learning all sorts of things around the house lately. He is helping me wash the dishes and doing some on his own. Playing in the water.. is more like it. He likes to use the scrubbers though. Lord knows we will need a dish washer recruit soon. lol.

Also Aiden has been Scott's little assistant in the garage. He wears his safety gear when the saw is running along with his dad. He also was practicing using the stud finder on the one wall too. They are working on putting the stereo back in the boat now that we have decided not to sell it. A never ending job..Aiden logs his hours in the garage these days alot with Scott. Gives Ava and i time by ourselves to chill at night. Aiden got his 2 year pictures taken today after he had his first haircut with Dad at the salon. Look out gals--here's one handsome boy!

Aiden Turns 2!!

Aiden is now 2 years old today!! Where has the time gone?? He has grown into such a character. He is saying alot of words now and still has a ton of energy all the time. I don't know where this kid gets it, but he definitely never slows down. His hobbies are working in the garage with Scott- his #1 hobby by the way-- and exploring outside and of course he loves the water. I can't wait to take both kids to the beach this summer and on the boat. We are ready for warm weather. Although Aiden's birthday is today, we are not having his party until March 21st. We are having a Circus theme party with hotdog and popcorn and elephant ears.. Also clown decor for the kids to dress in and paint their faces. We can't wait!!

Cookies and Milk

Scott started a nightly tradition of having cookies and milk with Aiden after dinner. Well Aiden had to show Kaylee all about it. He even holds the cookie in the milk for a while like Scott showed him ,to soften it to perfection. The kids enjoyed cookies and milk this week during their play date.Kaylee is quite the ham for the camera, she is putting on a pose for us..haha

Mommy's Little Girl.........

Ava and i were enjoying a girls day shopping this last Saturday. We took off Saturday morning while Scott and Aiden were home working in the garage.We visited my favorite thrift store to look for some more clothes for the kids. I found these adorable sunglasses for her- although i didn't buy them- now i wish i had. They were too darn cute!! I'm sure you will agree- and sassy! I did find some cute stuff for Ava since she is outgrowing everything and i was itching to look for some adorable summer dresses and clothes for her. I will also post this picture of Ava sucking her thumb while holding onto her rattle. She has quite the personality already! I was so excited to find this pink painted heart to put on Ava's door for only 98 cents!! I added the ribbon and had Scott hang it up ( with Aiden's help of course), and printed the name on it. Isn't it cute! You can find some real treasures at these store for almost nothing!

4 Month Checkup...

Ava is now 4 months old and she had her shots and Doctors checkup today . She weighed in at 14lbs 10 oz and 26 inches long. She rolled over 3 days ago also from her back to her front. Yesterday she also took her first spin in the swing at the park. I have to get some pictures next time though- so we all can see her on the swing. Her and Aiden are at about the same pace- and starting out swinging right at the same time.

We have been busy here with another playmate for the kids for the last 2 days. Scott's Dad's girlfriend -Beverly's granddaughter - Maggie , who is 3 ,has been spending the days with us since her mom is sick in the hospital with her pregnancy. Her mom has not had the baby yet, but they expect an early arrival. Aiden has enjoyed having a playmate for these days. Scott was off yesterday with me to help and we took the kids to the park and to fun works, and he said this is what it would be like to have 3 kids. He had put the extra big car seat in the truck and said the truck is now the official- KID HAULER. haha. Today i had 3 kids with me at the doctors then we went to the Mcdonalds playland- my new favorite hangout with the kids, by the way.. Maggie is easy and listens well, so she is a joy to have around. It was funny the kids were playing in the sandbox yesterday and i saw this animal poking its nose out of this hole in the sand- and it scared me. Anyways we all watched this little gopher come out of his hole and show off his teeth and wanting to fight- then he went back into his hole afterwards. The kids all got a kick out of it. Maggie kept saying how it really "freaked her out". It was funny.

Aiden the shopper......

Aiden was testing out his shopping skills while pushing around this little kiddie shopping cart at the store the other day when we went to pick up Scott's allergy medicine. He had such a great time. We were not shopping for groceries, just getting the medicines, but we took a few spins around the whole store to make our presence known before leaving.
