Happy 4th Birthday Aidan!

I just wanted to write about our sweet 4 year old boy. I can't believe he is FOUR!!! In a year from now he will be starting kindergarten...that just blows my mind. Below are some pictures over the last 4 years.

Aidan you were such a cute BIG baby boy. (9lbs 5oz) all the nurses and doctors couldn't get over how big you were. The first thing out of the doctors mouth was "he's a moose" none the less everyone in the maternity ward commented on how you were one of the most beautiful babies they had ever seen. You had the most perfect round head. (the nurses also commented on that) We just couldn't believe how beautiful and precious you were. (and still are) You were a great baby and sometimes I just sat for hours holding you and trying grasp the fact that you were really ours.

This is my FAVORITE picture of you and daddy in the hospital. This is so sweet and I will remember it forever.

You ere a very happy baby. It didn't matter where we went or what we did, you were always so happy and content with what we did. I could take you to the store...you would walk right beside me holding on to the cart. People would comment on how great you were. I was so proud of you.

You loved this owl at Grandma and Grandpa McGoverns house. You loved to play with it every time we visited. You would talk and touch it.

When you were 8 Months old. Mommy and Daddy were sealed together for time and for all eternity. The next day you were sealed to us. It was very cold....and the temple had been shut down because of a big snow storm. The Temple opened it just for us. G&G Jones were able to take time off their mission to be there. They took you into the nursery while mommy and daddy got ready for you to meet up with us. Later you joined us, you were wearing this little white suit and was so beautiful. During the sealing you were so good and just sat there with your hand on ours. It was one of the best moments in our lives. We are so thrilled that we can be together forever. Just thinking about this experience brings tears to my eyes all over again.

Sometimes you would sleep in the silliest and most awkward positions....it just made us laugh.

(ok....so there was a little help from daddy on this one...but you slept through it and it was just to funny and cute)

You love your zebra printed blanket (which was mine) You would drag that thing everywhere. It had tassels along the edge that you would sniff and rub against your nose. It was so cute. You sometimes still do those things when your tired and need some comfort.

You helped daddy put your toddler bed together and was so excited to sleep in it that night. This is a picture of your first night in your bed. You were so proud of all the work you did to put it together.

You love your brother. When he was a baby you tried to take care of him in anyway you could. When he would cry you would grab his binky, blanket, toy, or anything you thought would make him happy.

We asked you recently what you thought about having another brother or sister someday. You replied.."NO, I want Cameron....I like Cameron" You thought having another brother or sister would mean giving up Cameron...and you did not want to do that. Neither would we.


We love your smile. You love to tell stories. We love to listen to them and watch you act them out. We love the way your lips move as you talk. You are so cute and we are so blessed to have you as our son. Happy Birthday Buddy!
