A lots been Happening!!!

Aaron was on vacation all of last week due to having a deer tag so it was really nice having him home. He got his nice 4 point over the 1st weekend so that meant we got him to ourselves the rest of the week. On Monday we went to Mesa for a fast day trip do some shopping(we had to come home because I still had to work for Concord.) Then on Friday we headed back to Mesa for the weekend to take Aaden to the Zoo. He LOVED it. Everytime we would see a new animal his eys would get so big. He knows all of his animals so when he would see it he would shout what it was. His favorite were the Giraffes and Elephants. Plus, he got to ride the camal with daddy and the carousel(Aaron is terrified of horses so it was fun watching that). Addie was awake the whole time at the zoo and was perfect. After the zoo, Aaron and I got to go to dinner with Shawna and Jeremy and do some more Christmas shopping. Thanks to my mother in law for taking Aaden we actually got to enjoy our food and not try to get him to sit and be good while we ate. Below are some pictures, I also include a couple of Halloween since I totally forgot to post those earlier!!!

Who says Girls can't play with balls

So anybody that knows Aaden knows that he has loved balls since he was very little. As soon as we brought Addie home he wanted to play catch with her. It took a couple of weeks for him to understand that she is too little to play catch but he is very determined so instead of playing catch with her he would always try to get her to hold onto the ball. Well, after much time and determination it finally happened. While I was making dinner the other night Addie was laying on the floor and Aaden was next to her trying to get her to hold the ball. Aaden was so excited and said, "Mom, Addie finally holding the ball." I turned around and sure enough she had the ball in her hand and held it for like ten minutes (trying to put it in her mouth). The last picture is Aaden being so excited that his little sister took grasp of the ball.







I also included some pictures of the Pumpkin patch where Aaden got to pick out his pumpkin!!!

Addies Special Day

A couple of weeks ago we had friends and family over for Addie's blessing. Aaron gave his little girl a beautiful blessing. Nothing makes me happier knowing that Aaron can give me or the kids a blessing whenever we need it. After the blessing we ate lots of food. We just want to thank everybody for coming and sharing this special day with us(and thank you Michael and Jeremy for coming in from hunting to be there, Aaron appreciated it)!!!

Man Time sure does FLY...

Gosh, August flew right by us. With going to Mexico, Camping and playing lots of softball I can't believe that August is over and we are almost half way through September. Addie is already 2 months old and getting so chubby. She is smiling all the time and is such a good baby. With all her hair she just looks so much older to me then a 2 month old. Attached is pictures of what the kids have been up to the last month.







Aaden is growing up so fast. He says the funniest things. For example, the other day he said, "Mom you need to chill out." I must tell him to chill out a lot. Usually he tries to be a big helper like trying to put Addies pacifer in her mouth or goes and gets a diaper but he still likes to be a little stinker and poke her eyes or push her to hard in her swing.













Oh yeah, I included a picture of what I have been up to. That's right, that is my kitchen AKA my office for the last couple of days. My kitchen has been under all these shirts and sweatshirts for the high school while I put names and numbers on them. Thank goodness the shirts are all finished and have been delivered so my kitchen is back to normal.
