Happy Birthday Harry!

Harry turned 1 today! I know everyone says it - but I really can't believe its been a year already. He is so adorable. I can't stand it!!! :) Jeff and I got Harry this toy that blows the balls into the air. Aidan and Harry both thought it was pretty hilarious.

Papa and Gran are visiting this week from Georgia. They took the boys to the park where Harry played til he could no longer stand and Aidan played for three hours. They had a blast!

Of course we had to give Harry some cake. Aidan picked out a Nemo cake for Harry. I had to fight Aidan off for awhile but we did let him blow out the candles.

The end result - a blue baby in a blue bath.

Private a no go

Jeff was concerned about putting our blog private because he has so many stinkin' friends and family all over the country that it would be such a hassle to put EVERYONE's emails in to let them see it whats going on with our family.

So - come one, come all - but don't get psycho. Oh - and no - I don't want to buy a watch from your website.

My Family

My friend Casey asked me to take her senior pictures for the yearbook. We went up the canyon and it was gorgeous. I thought I would take advantage of the situation and asked Casey to steal a couple pictures of us. Sure we had to hold Aidan up and Harry was happy for the first 2 minutes, but we got our family pictures taken!

Handsome boys!! Wow - I'm a lucky lady.

Bob...I am your father

I made Jeff help me clean out the basement and he got all nostalgic on my and pulled out his Legos. He has yet to put together this beast that most men and boys know as "The Imperial Star Destroyer". So he is having Aidan help him. I'll update the blog with their progress.

Bob keeps coming in and asking if he is done. When he says no and trys to tell him that it will take awhile, he wants to watch tv and then go check on him.

This could take awhile. This is only 1 of 5 boxes.

Grandma came up for a visit this weekend. The boys were so excited. We did a lot of shopping on Saturday and Jeff made his awesome "fat-free" alfredo sauce. So good! She just left this afternoon, so I had to snap a shot first. We carved Aidan's pumpkin this morning and mom helped to give me an eye for putting stuff up outside. I haven't decorated the outside except for a sign for each season. This year is SO going to be different. Get ready to put up Christmas light, Jeff!

Harry is all over the place now. He took a few steps on his own yesterday and every once in awhile he attempts a couple more. Hes just faster when he crawls! :)

Harry stuck his hand into the pumpkin and licked his hand afterwards. Silly little boy.

Seriously - how cute are my kids?!

For the boys playgroup today we went to the corn maze out in Chubbuck. Aidan basically ran through the maze just trying to find his friend Coty. After the maze they all got some chocolate milk and then anyone who wanted to could feed the rest of the milk to the pigs. Aidan thought it was pretty hilarious!

This is Aidan feeding the horse. I would have actually gotten a picture of the horse, but Harry was holding so tightly to the fence trying to reach the horse that I couldn't get a decent one without pulling his arms off!

The lady helped the kids make bird feeders. It was really easy! We tied a pinecone to the end of a ribbon, covered it in shortening and then stuck seeds all over them. Now Jeff gets to hang Bob and Harry's in the tree.

I was letting Harry see the horse and pigs again when a bunch of little kids came out screaming from the chicken coop. Aidan and Coty (in the orange shirt) ran out laughing evily as the chickens started chasing them. Not gonna lie. It was pretty funny.

Where were the boys?

They were in Mississippi with Jeff and his family! Jeff said that Aidan was obsessed with the dinosaurs at the museum. Shopped, had pictures taken, hung out with family and partied hardcore, baby!!


Gunnar and Michael are the only ones with hair in this picture...I think Harry comes next! The boys have so much fun with Gramps. When Nana and Gramps came out after Harry was born, Gramps could put Harry to sleep and keep him calm like nobody else!

I love this picture! I'm not sure what Michael said to him - but you can tell that Harry just doesn't believe him. :) You can almost hear him saying "Are you kiddin' me?"

Jeff's friends brought their kids to the party, of course. I have no doubt that Aidan was having a blast.

Nana could hardly stand the wait for the boys to get out there. They had so much fun! When I picked them up, Aidan started crying and telling me that he wanted to go back to Nana's house. Poor thing.

Thank you so much, Nana and Gramps - for letting my boys come visit and for taking car of them. We love you! Can't wait to see you both at Christmas!
