Mr Aiden is 18 months

It is offical Aiden is 18 months...wow, time has flown by!! Our big boy is growing and changing so much..he is in full toddler mode.
He is constantly blabbing and he now says up to 20 words or so...some of his newest and favorite words: bath tub, Dan(for Daniel), baa(sheep noise), moo, fish(goldfish), and Oh. We love listening to him babble it's really amazing to be able to communicate with your little guy. We still continue to sign...mostly diaper, baby, please, thankyou, milk, all done, drink, eat...he signs when he wants :)

He is quite the funny guy...he spins around, he has learned to "surf" on a towel that papa tony pulls around. He loves to read, sing, dance, and be with older kids. He does a touchdown move and now shows us his fake cough, and fake laugh. :) He is quite the character...Jeph and I think he will be a funny kid :)

He loves his cousins and friends...Daniel and Aiden even high-fived each other for the first time...it was cute! He loves bath time, and being outside...he is quite the little ham!

He is running everywhere and loves trucks/trains/cars and balls!!! He has quite the arm for a little guy! He recently had an 18th month well baby check.
His current stats: 31 and 3/4 inches, 22.9lbs, 19 3/4head

He is such a big boy and we are loving this toddler stage!!


Here is an attempt to get an 18 month pic with the sports balls that we have used in all the other month by month pics...and I thought it was hard to take a newborn pic:)

Pumpkin Patch

Jeph and I decided that one of our family traditions is going to be visitng a pumpkin patch in October. So on Saturday Jeph and I took Aiden out to Sauvie Island Pumpking Patch. It was a cloudy day...but the whole time we were there it didn't rain, however...everything was muddy, really muddy. We had a good time. We took Aiden into the barn so he could see some of the animals from his farm book. We went through the corn maze which was so fun, it was the shape of Oregon with a heart in the middle...Aiden loved going all over and he was gonna walk through the whole thing, and he did :)




Then Jeph climbed up the hay mountain with Aiden...he balanced Aiden on the top and they had a blast playing and climbing.




We had a wonderful day at the pumpkin patch...can't wait to do it again next year..mud and all :)

Jeph is 30!!

Happy Birthday to my amazing husband!!! I feel so blessed to have him in my life and the father of my child...we've been together almost 10 years and I love him more and more everyday. He is a wonderful man of God, he loves his family and takes such good care of us. He is a good leader, good friend, hard worker, great dad, best friend, good partner...and so much more.

This year I decided to surprise him with a 30th bowling birthday party!!! Boy, he was surprised...we had quite a good turn out of friends and some family. We bowled, ate pizza, drank soda...then afterwards we went and played games with the Webers...he had a great birthday!!

To top it all off..he got Agricola, Ticket to Ride Europe, some new sports gear...some money...he is one lucky guy!!!

Happy Birthday Babe!!!

17 Months

This is Aiden at 17 months...my beautiful and amazing boy!

Summer in Review

Tonight at 8:52pm it is offically fall...so I thought it would be fun to look back at summer. It was a busy summer...we started our house plans, we even scrapbooked "Aiden's ABC's of Summer" Aiden went camping several times, he learned to walk, we celebrated our 8th Anniversary, we went to the zoo, played at the park, played in the pool, first jamba juice, lots of family time...here is our summer in review in pics...enjoy!


Cousin time and Grandma time!




He loved the pool!!

September and 16 Months!

Our sweet Aiden is now 16 months old today...it seems to me like time is flying by so fast! Mr Aiden is constantly growing and changing, today I thought he looked even more like a little boy!
This month has been full of all kinds of things...we got to help welcome Levi Sargent to the world on Sep 8th...it was really special to be apart of such a wonderful thing, Congrats Sargents!!






We have had the pleasure of afternoons with Tyler and Hailey, which Aiden especially loves. Play times outside on the swings, bike rides to the park, and good old play time. We celebrated Royces 2nd birthday, which included a ride on his new little tractor and cake!

Fall, fall, fabulous fall!

Our house is buzzing with the plans of fall...this time every year, we are sad to see summer go, but so pumped for all things fall!
Some of our favorite fall things:
*Football (Seahawks and Beavers)
*Pumpkins
*Colorful leaves
*Rain
*Black Friday/Thanksgiving
*Pumpkin Patch/Corn Maze
*Cider and Fall Decor
*Jephs Birthday
*Festive Starbucks drinks
There are just so many things to love about fall...the clothes, the food, the rain, we just love fall in our house and we look forward to all things fall. This year it's especially exciting because we are working on our house and planning to be in the building process this fall!

Happy Fall Everyone!!
