Birthday Festivities

Aydan celebrated his 5th birthday last week. He was lucky enough to have 2 parties. One with his family and then a party with his friends. He got spoiled! On this birthday we went bowling then to dinner. Aydan kicked my butt! I actually did lose to Aydan. I am really not good at bowling. We had a good dinner at Wingers with free Asphalt Pie. I love free things! Then on Saturday he had a little party with his friends, most of them girls of course! It is fun to see Aydan play with his friends, there was lots of running, screaming and knock, knock jokes. Aydan had a great time, I think he is already starting a countdown till his next birthday.

My Baby is 5

Today is Aydan's birthday! He was born 5 years ago at 6:26pm. He weighed 8lbs 7oz and was 21 inches long. It has been a great five years with Aydan. He is so funny and serious at the same time. You will notice in a lot of his pictures he is very serious. That is how he was for the first 4 years. Just recently he is getting silly and all smiles. He was a very good baby, slept through the night at 3 months, can't remember teething being a problem and never got into the cupboards or climbed on anything. Quite the opposite of Sammers! I can't believe that my baby is 5 years old, it has gone by way to fast. Thankfully he has told me I can call him my baby until he becomes taller than me. But he will always be my baby, forever and ever. We love you Aydan!!

Right after his birth, what a big boy!!

The day we left the hospital. True story, he said hi that day!

Good Old Helper

On December 5th we packed the boys up and headed down to Helper, Utah for the electric light parade. Peter's family is from that area so there are a lot of childhood memories for Peter. Of course we had to go the DI and Walmart. Really there is nothing to do in Helper or Price. At the DI Peter bought this old ten-speed bike. I still have no idea why he would buy it. The hotel was nice and the pool had potential, until we actually were in our swimsuits. The water was really nice and warm but it was like it was an outdoor pool. There was no heat so the the air was 25 degrees! Not so fun. That night we headed into Helper to watch the electric light parade. It was quite the ordeal to bundle the boys up, then ourselves and try walking with all the layers we had on. Poor Sam didn't have so much fun, we may have put too many layers on him, he literally could not move. The parade was lots of fun with lots of candy and even some toys! The temperature was not so nice, it was 19 degrees but with the wind it felt like 5! We all had a great time, and we have found a new family tradition!

It's A.....

We are having a BOY!!! I can't believe that I get to be the mother of three boys! We are super excited. The ultrasound went really well. He yawned for us and moved his little fingers. So cute, we already love our little boy!
