The Greatest Show On Earth!

Nana (Jeff's mom) was completely amazing and bought Aidan and I front row seats to Barnum & Bailey's Circus last Saturday. Aidan was so excited from the moment I told him we were going. Every day he would ask how many more sleeps until the circus. He definitely wasn't disappointed.

His favorite part was the clowns. I was a little concerned - but he loved them! He really enjoyed everything else too, but couldn't wait until the clowns came back out every time.

My favorite was when the ladies were shot out of the cannon. If I wasn't afraid of heights or had the dreams where you jump or fall and you can't see the ground at all...I would totally do that!

You can't have a circus without elephants and they were awesome. I have always loved the circus and I'm so glad that Aidan can't wait to go again. Next year, Jeff will be able to walk and Harry will be older. It will be so much fun to go with the whole family.

Gardner Village

We went to Gardner Village with my mom this last weekend. Its one of our favorite places to go! We were looking at some of the witches and watching the ducks when Aidan got sad (couldn't get to the candy store fast enough). Harry sidled right up next to Aidan and asked him if he was okay. I love these boys!

Aidan informed us that the witch did not crash into the building - she was climbing to the top!

The boys got to ride the ponies. Aidan rode by himself for the first time and he loved every minute of it. Harry didn't even want me to touch him. I had to hold onto his shirt so he wouldn't keep hitting my hand away.

Aidan held Harry's hand everywhere. We had forgotten the stroller, but he said he would help us keep Harry safe. And he did a great job!

Aidan 'The Bob'

This kid is a freak. And I say that with as much love as I can! He is an amazing child with the biggest heart I have ever seen. The things we have learned from him go beyond what anyone has ever tried to teach me before. His love and understanding of the pureness and unconditional love of our Saviour is amazing. He is always saying the most hilarious things and having the most odd dreams (nose fields?). He loves his brother even though he tends pick on him. And I love seeing them hug whenever they've been away from each other. He is the greatest big brother and one of the most amazing sons ever (the other being Harry)

Like I said - he likes to pose and act out stories. Maybe someday he'll make a lot of money posing and acting!

Such a silly Bob!

School Days!

A good healthy meal of mac n' cheese (a favorite in our home). For the first time I had to force the boys to sit and eat because Aidan was so excited to go to preschool!

Aidan likes to pose for his pictures! Such a nerd. Harry of course couldn't let Aidan have a picture of his own.

This was Aidan's idea of being ready for school. Nice try bucko!

Use 2,000,0001 for Vaseline

Vaseline is a beauty product that should be in every woman's make-up kit, every mother's first aid kit and in every diaper bag. Vaseline can be used as a substitute for mascara, helping plump your tired eyes, help heal diaper rashes and that is only the beginning.

Recently it has been discovered that Vaseline can also be used to make your hair silky soft or make your family laugh. It only takes 3 days and 8 hairwashes and the wiping of the hair with a wet wipe at each diaper change to clean out. But the results are marvelous!

Family Reunion

We headed to our family reunion out at Hidden Canyon Ranch earlier this month. I had finally talked Jeff into coming, but obviously he couldn't make it. Uncle Adam and Uncle Byron took the boys fishing and Byron took the Aidan 4 wheeling. This was Harry's first time reeling in.

Adam caught a fish for Aidan but Aidan got to reel it in. He was so excited the whole time! I wish I could touch fish without gagging because I would love to take him again. Harry was a little excited and tried to steal the pole.

Bob being a Bob. Aidan and Noah kept sucking the jello cups to their faces. When the cups would fall they would have jello bits all over their faces.

Harry loved camping too. He felt like such a big boy. Check out those rockin' shoes!

Lemonade out of lemons...

Been a stressful few weeks and this morning was any different. So when we came home from taking Jeff to work, there was a big truck in front of our house leaving us nowhere to park except across the street. I was irritated, but the boys were so excited about the truck being in front of THEIR house they could hardly contain themselves. Aidan wanted a picture of the truck so I tried to be kind to all those around me and took this cute picture of the boys.
