A proud mama

So I just thought I'd take a moment and share the joyous moments that are my morning. Today upon hearing Aiden wake up, I went into his room and did our normal cuddle bug time. He soon crawled out of his bed only to grab two of his favorite books: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See (thanks Lindsay!) and The Tiny Tadpole (thanks Brooke!). He then opened Brown Bear and started to read it to me (from memorization of course) and something about the whole thing just made me swell up with pride. The fact that he loves and enjoys books so much, makes this English Major's heart jump with pride and joy. Watching the pure excitement he gets on his face every time that tiny tadpole turns into a frog is completely priceless. I just hope as he grows he continues to love the excitement that good books can bring.

I'll see a dragon there?

Hello everyone and welcome back to everyday exciting life! So this time we'll start with the title of the blog. Yesterday as we were getting ready for church, Aiden so noncholantly asked, "I'll see a dragon there?" Our first reaction was a burst of laughter, but when we saw those oh-so-serious eyes awaiting our answer, well we had to break the news that no, there are no dragons at our church.
As you can see we aren't completely blameless in the dragon thing, his new kite has caused quite a bit of excitement around here.
Beyond that things around here have been a lot of fun. Aiden is loving his gymnastics and does it constantly at home. With the constant question looming "Mama you do a foreward roll?" Well the only problem is mommy is getting dizzy, but enjoying that awesome smile after each one is worth this almost constant feeling of nausea.


On another note this past weekend has been full of firsts. We took Aiden to go see his first big movie (Madagascar 2) and we also took a little crew up and enjoyed Aiden's first time sledding in the mountains. He, of course, had a blast! I have to say it was the perfect day, the sun was shinging, the roads were pretty much clear, and we found the nicest cross-country ski pass for our sledding extravaganza.





Well I know this was a short one, just thought I'd share our fun adventures. Hope everyone is well, God Bless!

Gymnastics fun!

So this year we've enrolled Aiden in gymnastics (because really all the other sports start at age three)and he has loved it! Not only does he get to play with a bunch of kiddos his own age, but can you think of a place that has more of a variety of fun, running, and tumbling activities? Well after each semester they do a special graduation day and here are the pictures from ours. Enjoy everyone!
