Preschool!

I cant believe my little boy started preschool! It just seems like yesterday he was a baby. He was so excited to start preschool especially with his friend Steele.



I dropped him off and he turned to look at me to see if I was coming with. Look at the look on his face! Ha he was probably thinking Im free I get to really stay here without mom. I was a little sad as I drove away thinking my life is never going to be the same. Not because he is going to preschool but the fact this starts his growing up. No going back! Time flys too fast I want him to stay my little boy forever! Everyday he needs me less and less and I am a big baby some nights I cry after I put him to bed thinking about it. Well he is going to love preschool and I am going to love a little structure in our life.

My little Aiden is 9 months! Where has the time gone! He is the happiest baby. The first 6 months were soo hard for me because he was the worst baby in every way. But he is an awesome sleeper and my little love bug. He smiles at anyone and everyone. He loves Paxton and is constantly watching what he is doing. He started to crawl a couple weeks ago so he is now into everything. He is pretty proud of himself that he can get places all by himself. I took him in for his 9 month check up today and here are his stats.

weight:16.9 lbs (5%)

height: 28 3/4 "(75%)

She said he is still really little in the weight department and I reassured her he eats all the time. She said he probably just has a fast metabolism. I guess he didnt get that from me. I look forward to all the fun and eventful times ahead with my 2 very active boys!

Our Summer!

We have been soo busy this summer I thought I better upload some pics. This is half of our summer. At the beginning we went to the zoo with some friends.

Paxton and Steele having soo much fun together. I am excited because they are going to preschool together this fall.



LAKE POWELL

A couple weeks later we went to Lake Powell with Brandons whole fam. We had soo much fun! Thanks to my mom for keeping Aiden we were able to enjoy ourselves with out worrying about Aiden.




Paxton and Fisher were little buddies the whole trip.

Our awesome houseboat that we were soo lucky to stay on!



BEAR LAKE

2 weeks later Paxton and I had the chance to go to Bear Lake with Brandon's other side of the family. They rented a house on the lake. It was a blast!





The back of the house we stayed at.

We have had soo much fun this summer. We still have lots planned so more pics to come at the end of the summer along with the rest of our adventures!

6 months!





Well our little Aiden turned 6 months old on the 16th. And boy is he soo different than Paxton! Aiden weighs 14 pounds and 9 ounces. That puts him in the 8%! The doctor came with a worried look on her face. She asked me if Aiden was eating. I responded that all he does is eat. Including in the middle of the night(which I might add is a real pain). Now Paxton has always been 75%+ since he was born. She was only concerned because he wasnt small when he was born or when he was 3 months. She said if he was staying consitently small that wouldnt be a problem. But Aiden weighed 13 pounds 8 ounces at his 3 month checkup. She said it could just be genetic and that he has a fast metabolism. But she said if he continues on this route we may have to think about adding weight gainers to his diet. But as for height he is 26 3/4 inches so that puts him 75%. Aiden is one of the smiliest babies I know he will give out the biggest cheese bait smile to anyone. But as far as him wanting you to hold him is another story. To say Aiden is high maintenance would be an understatement! I have never seen such a demanding baby. He never lets me get anything done and he is the worst sleeper. The doctor told me he should be more than capable of sleeping 8 hours straight. Ya right try 4 if I am lucky. I have been spending this whole week on trying to get him to sleep better. The crying it out method does not work on him. He will cry for 2 hours if I let him. He then wakes up Paxton and then I am up with 2 cranky boys. I am trying to be really persistent so hopefully I can have him sleeping through the night in the next couple of weeks. I love Aiden more than I could of ever pictured loving another child. The love of being a mom seems to grow with each kid you have.

Paxton is 3!!

Im a little late but Paxton turned 3 last month. I cant believe I have a 3 year old! He is soo much fun and is a really good big brother. We had his birthday party at his favorite place McDonalds! It was really convenient they did all the work all we had to do was show up.




All of his friends enjoying their happy meals.








The handsome birthday boy enjoying his happy meal.The kids all waiting for them to light the candles on the cake. A few of the kids even tried to eat the cake before. One of them actually did not mentioning any names(Luke.) Ha ha.




Paxton blowing out the candles.


The kids were all silent as they were eating their cake.






Opening presents and all of the kids were helping. Paxton really wanted a Curious George cake. So my wonderful dad made him a Curious George cake.


This year he was really excited to open all of his presents.





He even enjoyed opening his cards.


Well I guess he isnt going to smile. I love this 3 year old soo much. We have been telling him for about a month before his 3rd birthday that when your 3 big boys dont wear diapers. So after we made a big deal out of his 3rd birthday he was potty trained 4 days later! I am soo proud of him and love him to pieces.
