KIDS FEST

Rich's Aunt works at the elks club.  Every year they have a kids fest!  With games, prizes, music, and food.  Everything is free for the kids.  They LOVE it!

 Aidan throwing darts at balloons.  (he was really good at it)


Cameron's turn




They got tickets for all the games they played and then cashed in all the tickets for prizes!



Cameron is 4!

Happy Birthday Cameron!  We call him our little tyrant.  He loves to try our patience, and likes to do things his way and on his terms.  But he is such a little snuggle bug.  He loves to snuggle up with Rich and I.  He has such a fun personality and loves to make others laugh.  It is so hard to stay mad at this funny kid.  The things he says and does make us laugh so hard.  He is such a story teller.  One morning he told me he gave a baby deer a bath in the tub because he was dirty. and then he put it back outside.  "I'm serious mom!"  he says.  I better start writing some of these stories down because they are in such detail you would think they were true. 

Happy Birthday Aidan!

Aidan turned 6!  We can't believe how big he is getting.  He was so eager to be 6.  Most of the kids in his kindergarten class had turned 6 before school ended.  He just couldn't wait till it was his turn.  Aidan is growing up so fast and learning so many things.  He is now reading!!!!  He would bring in books to read to his class for story time.  he loves reading to us at home.  We love to see his excitement in his eyes when he learns something new.  He is a great big brother and cares about Cameron so much.  I love watching him look after Cameron.  His two front teeth on the top are loose.  He is so excited about it.  Aidan has the sweetest personality and loves to make others feel better.

I can't find any other picture of his birthday.  This makes me so mad.  I am not sure if they got deleted somehow.  but this is all i could find.  We love you Aidan!

Aidan's kindergarten Graduation

                                         Aidan's on the top row 4th kids in from the right ^

                   They were so cute up there.  Each class sung a song they had learned during the year.

 With his Teacher Mrs.  Kaake.  She was such a great teacher.  I hope Cameron has her when he is in kidergarten.

 With Mrs Burnap.  I think they had a special connection.  I think she was tearing up while saying their goodbyes.  She called Aidan Bubbaloo.

 We helped out at with a project at Aidan's school.  We love going in to visit.

 We  were able to stay for story time.  Cameron fit in so well...Can you find Aidan and Cameron??

 Rich borrowed the neighbors tractor to do some digging for the foundation of the garage.

                                                      The kids loved watching

Family Tree

We planted our family tree!  The kids loved helping dig the hole.  We can't wait to see it bloom next spring!

Fish Hatchery

The Fish hatchery in town had an open house.  We went with Rich's brother his wife Kristal and her niece's and nephews.  The boys had a lot of fun.

                                                      The fish ladder was really loud.

Haha I love this picture.  Kristal has a niece about Aidan's age.  They held hands almost the whole time we were there.

Aidan and Cameron love birds.  They love to watch them in our yard everyday.  Grandma and Grandpa sent them humming bird feeders.  but first they had to eat the jelly beans that were in them!  Thank-you Grandma and Grandpa!

 Then, of course they were on a little sugar high and had fun playing with Daddy.

Planting flowers

First we had to gather small rocks to put at the bottom of the pot so the soil didn't come out when we water the seeds.

 Then we add the soil and plant the seeds.  Aidan and Cameron had so much fun doing this!
