Cutting a Tree- Our "NEW"Way

Sooooooo.....with so much snow and busy weekends we decided we had to get a tree this weekend with no FUN snow trip this year. So it was off to Shasta College for some really cute shots, a cute tree and fun with Aunt Emily. We had a great morning and were home way before normal:)

Now Aiden could care less about the tree, or Santa or anything Christmas related...he just liked the animals, the horse ride and the old fire truck! I guess boys will be boys.

My little man...

So Aiden caught some ear infection, bronchitis fun to kick start December...a visit to Dr. Lagocs, and the good pink medicine and we are on the mend. However in his sickness he decided to slow down a little bit and rest with Mommy ( for once I wasn't second choice to trains, Thomas, CARS, Jackson or a ball!)

November-What happened to you?

So I just logged onto my blog and thought...what the heck happened to November- I didn't post even once! AHHHHHHH! WEll the month blew by, it was report cards, holiday weeks, Thanksgiving, and Aiden time as much as we could. I also took this crazy Boot Camp class...more about that later! Anyways we are alive and now onto December

A Visit from the Oregon Family

Nick, Shannon, Keaten and Layton came down from Sandy, OR to visit this weekend. We went to pizza, caught frogs, had a breakfast out, Turtle bay and dinner with family....tomorrow holds Halloween fun and more family fun!

The end of our Garden!

So we took out everything except for the insane amount of tomatoes that we still have....or green ones that have yet to ripen...while we collected and cut Aiden enjoyed our one and only watermelon....or baby melon in true garden style-straight from the vine.

Our Garden Pumpkins!

This summer we planted pumpkins, Kellin was really against it but I wanted something that Aiden could watch grow for a long time. It has become our little special plant because we got 3 pumpkins before the end of July! They were supposed to be mini pumpkins but as you can see, we obviously got a "special" plant. Yesterday afterschool Aiden and I went and picked them, cleaned them and set them out for everyone to see. Happy Fall!

A major milestone for us!

So this summer Aiden started "Wanting" to tell us he had to go, unfortunately it was just a lot of telling us and then going tin a diaper or (on the floor) and being confused...we have just left it and tonight when we got home, we had the shower warming up and he came running out to me and said mommy pee-pee- I ran with him back to the toilet acting all excited, watched him sit down and said "good job" then he got up and kept pointing! Surprise he had done it. Now he will probably never do it again...but, I am just amazed that my little baby is getting so big...So ofcourse I grabbed my camera and thought "what a great blog" to get back to life! :) Enjoy and sorry if any of these offend you...had to prove it!
