Wonderful Weekends!

This weekend was another GREAT and BUSY one. Friday, my sis and I got together and walked in the park again. Then she came over and we took the kiddies to the pool. They had a great time splashing and playing together (they really do love each other so much).

Saturday morning was Aiden's show for the Winchester Little Gym. It's been a wonderful session with the WLG and we have thoroughly (and I streess WE) enjoyed each Saturday with Miss Laura. Aiden has learned so many things there and he's met so many friends. Aiden's grandparents came out to watch all the cool things that he learned. Saturday afternoon we headed over to celebrate another of my friends 30th birthday.

Sunday we went out to my dad's house for a BBQ. We don't get to see him THAT often so when we do it's so special. Aiden played on the slip n slide and my dad has this great playground! Aiden and I had such a great time!

The time is flying by so fast...before we know it, it will be Christmas again...YIKES!!

Here are some pics of us swimming!!

Show week at the WLG!! Way to go Aiden!

Momma's Lil' Fishy

Luke and I took Aiden swimming this past weekend. Because he was still so small and our community pool didn't get above 70 last year, we weren't able to get him in the water that much. This was his first real experience in the water. It was a little iffy in the beginning but once he got used to the water it was on!

He kicked, and splashed and I even dunked him under a bunch too. He absolutely LOVED it, which makes me a happy momma considering how much I love the water. We're going to go as much as we can so that when it comes beach time, we'll all be ready!!!

Major Career Change

So for those of you who don't know, I was layed off last week. Now I'm home with Aiden and I have to say, it's everything I thought it would be!! I am obviously looking for work but I am going to take my time and make this move be something I truly love!!

As for our days together (it's been a week now), we are having so much fun. Although the weather has been so crappy (sort of chilly and rainy), we have still found ways to play. Last weekend we took Aiden to the park and Monday he and I went shopping! Wednesday, his cousin Teaghan came over and the three of us had so much fun!!

Aiden has changed so much, even in this past week. He can now point to different parts of his body when asked and his signing is getting so good. He's been saying please for some time now, but he will also do, done, eat, more and drink. We've been working on most of those FOREVER and it seems that lately they have all just clicked. He's dancing more too. He used to just twirl about in circles, but now, he bounces and flails his arms as if he's trying to take off like a bird. It's very comical.

Today is supposed to be gorgeous so I can't wait to get outside and plant some flowers and hang on the playground with my babe!!

One BEAUTIFUL weekend!

All is can say is wow. What a gorgeous and wonderful time we had last weekend. Saturday we started the day off wtih the Little Gym. Aiden is really enjoying this time he has to basically run around and play for 45 minutes. He's such a little helper too. When it's time to play with the balls, he runs around and tries to put them all back into the trashcan for the teacher (usually this happens BEFORE it's time to put them away) but he's helping none the less.

After the gym, we headed home for a good nap and then Stacie, Aiden and I headed to winchester to meet Kim. We had lunch and then headed to the park. This was Aiden's first real trip to the playground and it he had such a blast. He thought he was a big kid though, trying to climb the "rock" wall and what not. While we were there, he spotted a lab across the park and threw a fit until he was able to go see it a little closer. After the park, we headed to a birthday party at the Polka Dot Pot. That place is really cool. We got to pick out something and paint it. Aiden doens't have nice piggy bank so we chose one in the shape of a monkey. (I chose the monkey b/c it was the easierst, least creativity needed item to paint.

After the party we went home and cooked out on the grill with some friends.

Sunday we headed to my dad's new house. He just moved into this beautiful home out past Winchester on 5 acres of land. We enjoyed lunch and then afterwards we headed down to the playground. Dad's wife took Aid for a spin on the 4 wheeler, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We had a really great time.

Aid exploring the grass...he didn't like it too much

Aid and I having a blast swinging!

He really LOVES to swing!

Birthday Pics

Here are some pics from Aiden's first birthday.

Go Skins!!

Man, I love football season, more so than most women I know. There's nothing better than throwing my Monk jersey on and going to a friend's house to watch the skins play ball. I know it's only the week 3 but GO SKINS!! We're gonna kick some Cowboy A** (well hopefully)!!

Even Aiden is a HUGE fan! (hehe)
