When He Grows Up...

So here I am, just barely starting to figure out what I'M going to be doing now that I'm all grown up... and I can't help but wonder what Aiden will be. What he will do and who he will become! The possibilities are endless and while, of course, it is completely up to him, i still enjoy thinking about the little boy that I am raising and what kind of man he will be.

He is so full of possibility right now. He could be an accountant, or an actor, or a lawyer, or a truck driver, or a nerd, or an athlete, or anything he could possibly imagine!! The possibilities are endless. I just hope that I can give him every opportunity possible. I don't want to shelter him from any chance he might have at happiness.

I can't wait to see how he grows and who he becomes. Its gunna be an awesome ride!!

Peace, Love, and CookieDough!

Swing Life Away

As the weather has be BEAUTIFUL!!! I took Aiden to a park that ACTUALLY had some swings!! (Apparently they are a hazzard and so lots of parks are taking them down and the new ones are just leaving them out.. bummer, I KNOW!) So I put him in and he was IMMEDIATELY LOVING it!!!

I can't wait to spend the summer drinkin in this kid of ours!! There are so many more firsts yet to be had!! And I am so grateful to live in such a beautiful place that allows us to be out at the park since February and even a few days in JANUARY!! Such gorgeous weather, such a wonderful family, and such a happy life!!

Tie Dye and Tube Socks

Its a BEAUTIFUL Sunday afternoon, we are running late for church and have no time to get Aiden ready, but its ok cuz he's a baby and no body really cares WHAT he's wearing.. plus, he's freaking adorable and can literally pull ANYTHING off. Anywho. So we take him to church in his pajamas but all week the little booger has had a slight issue with erupting THROUGH his diaper. And of course, at church, after a very rushed morning, he chooses its a good time to explode.

So I take him to the mother's lounge and take care of his diaper... but there's no way I can put his PJ's back on him now!!

In the diaper bag is simply a green tie-dye onzie in which his father HATES--EVEN BETTER (evil grin). So I take the kid back to the meeting where I get an evil stare from TK and an eye roll as he is so disappointed in our child's ensemble.

Welp, at least he's dry!! And what a perfect outfit to celebrate the warm sunshine!! And the tube socks? Well they just looked AWESOME!

LOOK!! I SIT UP!!

Hey Everyone!! Its me again!! I've missed you and so much has happened since I posted last. I'm still trying to figure out how my legs can move in a proper movement to produce motion... but hopefully soon i'll have that down. Until then, I've learned to sit up all by myself!!!


So we all know that I've always been super strong.. even before I started workin out.. but NOW, I've got some balance and stability too!!! My mom still puts pillows around me for when I get a little too excited and loose control... but for the most part, I've got this whole sitting thing down!! I can see SOOOO much more from here. Way better than laying down. And I can reach my toys. And fall over laughing, literally.

Mom also took a video of it, maybe tomorrow she can put up one with better quality. Apparently dad hasn't gotten around to teaching her the importance of HD so that she can truly appreciate that awesome FLIP video cam... but maybe one day she'll grasp on...



Dude. You can't even see my face!! Seriously Dad, we have GOT to talk to her about this...

Welp, until next time,

Peace, Love, and Chunky Thighs :)

Last night we got to have the missionaries over. I like to get a request from the missionaries for a meal option because I can't imagine having to go to house after house never knowing what's going to be on your plate or if you'll be able to choke it down. Plus, I'd imagine that there are a few choice meals that they'd miss from back home. So I asked, and they requested pancakes.

Now for anyone who has ever had breakfast at my house before, you know that I am a waffle girl. I even make french toast... but pancakes? I fail at. I always burn them. Or at least burn the outside and leave the inside a little mushy. But it wasn't TOOO bad last night. The first one burnt to the pan and I couldn't even get it off. Ha. But after that, it was ok... OK.

But it was a good night anyway. We had sausages and eggs and orange juice and grapes. It was all very yummy and I eat WAYYY to much!! I ate more last night than I even ate at Christmas or Thanksgiving. I don't remember the last time I ate that much!! :) But yeah, all in all, despite the pancake failure, it was a good time and I hope it wasn't too awful for everyone else.

Peace, Love, and CookieDough.
