About Me

Kellin and I have been together since 2000, married in 2006. I am teaching 5th grade and he is an accounts manager for Swanson Bookkeeping. We stay busy, and can't believe that our first born and beautiful son, Aiden will soon be THREE in December!

Takin' a Bath with Halen











On Friday night we decided it was time for Aiden and Halen's first big bath together....there was little room for them when we had to be in there too- but it was fun. Cousin baths might just become a weekly adventure!

EXER-SAUCER!




Aiden loves his new Exersaucer- we are still figuring it all out- but it sure is fun to stand up!


Great-Grandma Micki's House!







On Thursday we visited Great-Grandma Micki so all three could be molded and held...let's just say they better get used to these kinds of moments.

4 MONTH CHECK UP!




Here is our very hot (temperature wise) baby after his doctors appointment.

Today we visited Dr. Lagoc and found out Aiden is great - he weighs 16 pounds, 6 ounces (in the 50-75%tile) and is 26" long (again the 50-75%tile) and has a head circumference 43cm (50%tile). He hated his shots much more this time, as pain is something he is starting to understand. We survived and we don't have to go back until 6 months old which is JUNE! I can't believe how big he is getting, all our 3-6 month finally is fitting and as you can see he is a healthy, Redding diaper only, BaBY!

I love him....and Chico!

Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day, we went to our old stomping grounds -CHICO. It was a short visit so if we missed you we apologize. We visited Miss Emily Ruffner (to congratulate her on her engagement to be Mrs. Foxworthy) we had delicious lunch at Pluto's, dessert at my absolute favorite Jon & Bons, went to see Nicole's new beautiful house, talked with Meagan, Angela, Kathleen, Nicole and Emily and just got to enjoy Chico. Aiden loved it and I rewarded him with all sorts of Mommy kisses when we got home...



A Day at the Park






OUR little Swedish baby flew his colors at the park a ton this past week. He loves being outside, so we took our first trip down the slide and then spent some other days eating lunch under the trees and grasping our rattle. So much fun....

3 Peas in a Pod...Sort of


Together at last....

He is so beautiful




As I found these pictures I knew I had to put it up for everyone to see our beautiful boy, I love his big blue eyes and how his cheeks sometimes touch the outfit he is wearing. I love how he looks up at his Daddy and Mommy and smiles so big that it seems like he is just dying to say something to you, I love how he drools all over his hand and then wipes it across his face just to show us he can. I needed to write a list of why I love him and this picture because he is currently screaming his little head off right now to resist a nap....I love him, I love him, even in this moment I love him.


Bunny Fun!

Finally the three of them together...












Easter Sunday

Happy Easter- Today we enjoyed services with Kell's Gram, went to a beautiful picnic in the park and finished up at Bart and Debbie's for a delicious dinner. Here are some wonderful pictures of the boy with all those who love him...Hope everyone had a great day!
