Aiden's first cavities filled!!

This happened a month or so ago but the video is so funny I had to post it! Aiden had two cavities and when we went to get them filled he had to take an oral sedative right before going in. The video is me and Aiden in the waiting room as it's beginning to kick in! He thought everything was so funny and couldn't stop from falling over! He also got laughing gas so he didn't struggle at all! It took ten minutes and he just sat in the chair smiling and laughing!! When we were leaving I had to carry him out because he couldn't walk yet and he said "I want to be silly again!" I guess he won't be aposed to cavity fillings in the future!

Cruise to Mexico!! 4/25/2010-5/1/2010

We just got back from a 6 day cruise to Mexico!! We went with some of Eric's friends from work and their wives! It was soooo much fun, and soooo relaxing! I really enjoyed getting to know everyone and we had some really good laughs! We stopped in Puerto Vallarta and Cabo. We got massages in Puerto and explored the resorts, and shopped, snorkeled and swam in Cabo! The boat was fun too, except the last day when the boat was rocking sooo bad half of us got sick and it was too windy to go outside. But the seasickness helped prepare us to want to go home! I missed my boys a lot but they had a great time at Grandma's! Thanks to my awesome family and Brooke for watching them the whole week! I probably gained 10 pounds and no longer know how to do housework, but it was well worth it!!Meet the "Cinco Amigos"! They walked around the whole boat like this, confusing most the passengers! They were asked to sing happy birthday to a few people around the pool!! People thought they worked for the cruise ship!!

The whole group!

I'm Back!!

I know it's been a long time since I've posted, and I'm not going to try and back track either. We had a lot of fun in the last 6 months but I am starting from now. A couple weeks ago my "Twilighters" and I went to the New Moon DVD release! We pushed our way through an angry mob of old moms and grandmas to get to the front so we could get our DVD's signed! The actors of Mike, Angela, and Eric were there! They were really nice and funny and all three signed our DVD's! Since we were in the front of the line we didn't have to stick around until 2 am like last year, so we got home at a reasonable 1 am or so! I had tons of fun just being a groupie for the night! (Let's hope next year it's Taylor Lautner)

Aiden's 4th Birthday!!

I am late posting again! But Aiden's birthday was Sept. 28th and he turned 4! I still wake up and can't believe he is so old and becoming such a smart little boy! He's not a baby anymore! On the sunday before his birthday we had a party at my mom's house and had presents, cake, and ice cream. He got clothes and books and a game, and a spiderman costume for halloween (that he wants to wear everyday) but his favorite gift was a spiderman scooter from grandma and grandpa! He was riding it outside and said "this is my favorite present ever!" Then on his birthday that monday we had a party at the park with Gracie, (his cousin that was born the same day) and Eric's side of the family! The hit present of that party was the hair stuff Gracie got (princess straightner, curling iron, blow dryer) all the boys wanted to play hair stylist! He had lots of fun, his friends Damon and Austin came and gave him gifts! And grandma Debbie came from Ephraim and that always makes his day! Plus he got $30 cash in birthday cards! Now when he tells me he has money he's not lying! We all had a great time and love Aiden very much! He continues to surprise me with his sweet smart fun personality and I love being his mom! Love you Aiden!

The Circus is in Town!!

We got tickets to the circus a month or so ago because we thought it would be something fun to do for the boys birthdays! Aiden's birthday is on monday the 28th and Grady loves elephants so this is kindof for his birthday too! We didn't get there in time to go and pet the animals but we did get to the pre show and right when we got there they brought out two elephants and had one paint and kick a soccer ball and dunk a basketball! The boys were amazed!! Grady couldn't even talk he just stared! When they left he kept saying "bye, bye ephant" Aiden was amazed at all the tricks they could do! Then we went to our seats and watched the circus! They did really well through out but they were most amazed with the elephants and the tigers and the guys on the big wheel things! It was pretty cool all the tricks they did, they even made an elephant disappear! Grandma was too nice and bought them overly priced toys! Grady of course got an elephant (he has named it mumbo) and Aiden had to have the binaculars! They love their toys! We had a great time and I'm glad all of my family could come and enjoy it with us! I know the boys will never forget it!

Grady's 2nd Birthday!!

I know I'm slow posting this, but better late than never. Grady's 2nd birthday was August 28th! I can't believe my baby is 2!! I guess he's really not a baby anymore! He really loves elephants!! I don't know where it came from but he loves them, so we had an elephant themed party!! His cake was an elephant (or that's what it's supposed to be, you be the judge) he had elephant balloons and tons of elephant gifts!! He loved it! We had a lot of family and friends come to the park to have cake and ice cream and gifts with us! Grady had a great time! Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us and thanks for his fun gifts!

Camping Trip

We took the boys camping for the first time this summer! We went with my dad and sisters and eric, myself and of course the boys! Aiden had been waiting to go all week because he wanted to sleep in the tent and he loves our air mattress so he was excited to pull that out! We just went up Provo Canyon so it wasn't far away but we got there just in time. We immediately put up the tents and the second we finished it started to rain!! So we got in the tents and waited and the fire pit had pretty good tree coverage so we could also hide under there without getting too wet! So we made dinner in the rain and sat by the fire in the rain and just camped in the rain. The boys liked to get in my dad's van and play but they kept coming in and out so we locked them in there to play and eventually they started looking through the windows trying to tell us they wanted out! We just heard these little voices saying "get us out" the picture says it all! We went to sleep in the tent and it rained some more. Grady did not like sleeping in the tent, the whole night he would wake up every half hour and cried saying "out, out" so finally around 3:30 am I decided to take him home since we lived 10 minutes away. Then when we got there he stayed up until 6 AM!!! So we slept for three hours until everyone at the campsite woke up and started calling us to come back! When we got there Aiden kept telling me "I liked sleeping in the tent, I was a good boy, I'm a good sleeper, huh mom!" He wanted me to know that he slept good after I had to leave. We made breakfast and it started to rain so finally we started to take our tents down and pack up to go home. Just as everything was in the car ready to go the sun came out! So we decided to hike up to Bridal Veil Falls and let the boys play in the water! They loved that even though it was really cold! We then went home and pitched the tent again so it could dry out and I did a lot of laundry to get rid of the fire smell! But even with the weather and the crying child, we had a good time! Aiden loved every minute and didn't care at all that it was raining! So thanks family for a great camping trip!
