The Friday before Aidan's birthday, Jason's mom came to town so we had a little family birthday party for Aidan with Grandma and Uncle Travis, Aunt Trudy and his three cousins and two brothers. Aidan was soooo excited. We had talked to him about his upcoming birthday party for a couple of weeks before the actual party, so for those couple of weeks anytime Aidan heard the word "birthday" he would either start singing happy birthday to himself, or say "it's going to be my happy birthday?" Just to make sure he understood it was going to be his special day. He even understood that he was two, but on his birthday he would be three. We had a Toy Story themed party with balloons, streamers, party bags and a Toy Story cake. Two of Aidan's favorite things right now are Toy Story...specifically Buzz Lightyear and Woody, and Elmo. He's constantly asking to watch Buzz Lightyear...I've seen the Toy Story movies so many times now that I'm really trying to encourage him to branch out a little and watch something else :) Here are a few pictures of the festivities...
Gavin loves soccer, running around outside, riding his bike or scooter and playing with his brothers. He also likes school, and is very helpful and thoughtful. He likes reading and learing about the Gospel. He's still a bundle of energy, but we love it!
Updates on "Cheeks"
Connor is the biggest sweetheart and loves to snuggle. He's helpful to me and his brothers. He likes to play outside. He's our biggest daredevil on his bike or scooter or his grandpa's 4-wheeler...so far only one broken arm ;) He loves school and his teacher and spelling.
Updates on "Nuggles"
Aidan is FULL of energy. He loves to run around outside and play with the neighbors. He's learning his letters and sounds for preschool and knows his numbers and colors. Aidan is one of the big boys now and keeps up with his big brothers. He gives great hugs and snuggles!
Updates on "Mr. Squishy" or "Mr. O"
Owen is starting to talk. He says words like Mama, Dada, Bah (bath), No, Baby, Kisses, Hugs, Moh (more). His smile melts my heart and his eyes dance with light! I love this little boy!
Updates on "Monty"
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
"I have a burn in my heart." (I think Gavin meant to say heartburn.)
"Hey, don't tickle my nickels!" (I was tickling Gavin's armpits!)
Mommy: "That doesn't mean you can just sit down and throw a fit." Gavin: "I didn't. I just stood up and threw a fit."
Mommy: "Everything but cheese." Gavin: "Butt cheese. Eww gross."
Mommy: "Will you always be my little boy?" Connor: "Uh-huh...even when I'm 99."
"I love you and Bo the same." (Connor said this to me. Bo is our cat. Coming from a five-year-old little boy, I think it was meant as a compliment!"

This is a book about a young teenage boy who can see paths into the past. At first he only uses this gift to hunt with his father; to see the paths that the animals have taken. Later he meets up with a friend who has a different gift, and together they try to combine and teach each other their gifts and end up on a really cool adventure. The writing was great, as were the characters. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.
