Parades and Rain!

We just got back from another SUPER-FANTASTIC trip to Boise.....we LOVE it there....and the company we have when we visit!! Thanks again Kyle and Ashleigh for all the fun!!

Saturday was Bosie States Homecoming game and there was a little parade in town. The kids had so much fun.....and got LOTS and LOTS of candy!

I have decided that it is next to impossible to get a picture of all the kids...all smiling...and all looking at the camera....at the same time!! This is the best I got!

Little Lexie always seems to find her way into our family photos!! Thats OK....we love her! We will claim her! :)

After the parade...we took the kids home and Ashleighs dad came to play with them while the 4 of us went to the game!! Thank you Marty!!

The weather started out pretty decent....Chilly, but tolerable. And then.....RAIN!! Its a good thing we were prepared!


We looked pretty silly....but we had TONS of fun!! Thanks again guys....we will see you in a few weeks!! I am bringing my SNOW clothes!!

My Little Stud muffin!

After I had Aiden all dressed up for church on Sunday...he looked so handsome that I had to take a picture!!

I can't believe how fast he has grown up! All of the sudden, he is a little boy and not a baby!

Cambree

I got to practice my hobby on my BEAUTIFUL little niece! She is GEORGEOUS....and so, very, very easy to get good pictures of! Thanks Camberella for being my little model!!

Aidens 22 month "Fun Facts"

My little monster is 22 months old!! I really can't believe how fast time has flown since he came into my life!

Aiden is my absolute treasure.....but at the same time...tests my patients like no other....next to David that is.... We are fast approaching the "Terrible Two's" with my adorable boy....and he is night and day! I have heard that that is normal for this age, so I can only assume that this too shall pass!

As of now, these are Aidens stats and accomplishments:

-Weighs 24 pounds

-6 month post op check showed no signs of tumor regrowth!

-Says most words you ask...or don't ask him to repeat!

-LOVES Macaroni and Cheese, pickles, and pop corn

-Likes watching Bob the Builder

-Thinks he is too big to be helped. He insists on feeding himself, going down stairs by himself, and washing himself in the tub!

-Still LOVES hanging out with his Dad!

-Is VERY stubborn and head strong.....he comes by that honestly...so I can't blame him!

Aiden is my whole world!! I am having such an amazing time being a mom and watching him learn and become a little person all his own!

BSU vs. Miami of Ohio

This weekend, David and I left Aiden with my mom, and hit the road to meet up with our favorite fellow Bronco fans to cheer the boys in blue to a 48-0 win over the Redhawks!! I can't think of a better date night!!!

We had FANTASTIC seats!! Ashleigh even got to give some high-fives to the players before the game....next time....I am your bathroom buddy!! :)

After the game we got to go down on the blue turf and snap some pictures!!

I had been hoping all night that Buster Bronco would make his way our direction....I kept trying to snap pictures of him from across the stadium... I NEVER imagined that I would get this close!!

Buster got a little fresh!!! I got more than I had bargained for...not only a picture...but a HUG!! Made my day!!!

Thanks Kyle and Ashleigh for the SUPER FUN double date!! We can't wait until the 3rd!!! :)

GAME DAY...and more!

WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD!!

Thursday night the Boise State Bronocs crushed the egos of the Oregon Ducks....and I am thrilled to say that we watched!!! Although, we weren't in the stadium, we went to Boise to watch the game with Kyle and Ashleigh.....our Boise counter-parts!!

Little Lexi fit right into our family photo in her little blue jersey!! We would steal her if we could!

Friday morning we went and fed the ducks in paddle boats!! It was AMAZING! The ducks would come right up to your boat...and just about bite off your fingers if you didn't give them food!

Aiden was more excited about eating the popcorn then feeding it to the ducks.....

Friday afternoon we went to the water park....it was SUPER fun!! Aiden LOVED it!!

Saturday we went bolwing...Aiden had never been bowling before, so it was a new experience for him.

The next morning for breakfast we went to the Nampa airport and the kids got to watch the airplanes come in and out while eating breakfast!! Aiden LOVES airplanes and was so excited to see them take off and land!!

We had TONS and TONS of fun!! Thanks Kyle and Ashleigh for yet another FANTASTIC trip to your side of the state!! We always laugh SUPER hard when we are with you guys!! We love you guys!

We will see you again soon!!

My Favorite Lady...

Friday is my very favorite persons birthday, and I will be gone....so tonight we went out to Chinese food to celebrate!!

I met Janell when I was a tiny little girl and I would go into her gas station.....I grew up and would still go into her gas station. Fate stepped in a few years later when she asked my dad to a singles dance.....he didn't go, but they started dating. Well, little did Janell know that even though things didn't work out with my dad, she was going to be stuck with a daughter!!

Janell was my mom when I didn't have one, and she was my friend when I needed one. She has been there through it all and I would NEVER be able to thank her enough for just being there!

We have been "adopted" into their family and we love them as our own!! Aiden calls her "mammy"....which is grandma, and I will always love her like my mom!!

So, Happpy Birthday to the most special lady I know!! Thanks for everything that you do for us! I know that I would not be where I am today without you!! We are so lukcy to have you and your boys in our lives!

We love you.....
