A couple random things...

First off, Brinn got her first tooth last week. Yeah! What a big girl! I can't wait till she smiles and all you see is her one tooth.

Aidan's new favorite thing to say is, "yes sir."
"Aidan do you want some milk?" "Yes sir."
"Do you need to go peepee?" "Yes sir."
"Go get your car." "Yes sir."
David and I don't know where he got this from and every time he says it we just start laughing.
Also, Aidan has informed me that I am no longer allowed to say "night-night" or "goodnight" to him. I am only allowed to say "see you in a little bit." KIDS!

Finally, I have set a new scrap booking goal and I thought I would post it on here so that I feel obligated to follow through. My dilemma was that I feel like am close enough to getting Aidan done that I should just catch him up first. But, I have not even started Brinn so I feel like I should just dedicate some time to her. I decided I am going to do one layout a week for each kid. If I do this over time I should catch up with both of them. So that being said, I will keep you posted and hopefully I follow through.

It's All My Sister's Faults

My sister Mandi and her family, and my sister Holli all came to visit the last two weeks, which is why it has taken me so long to get this post up. We have had such a blast and it has been so fun to watch Jackson and Aidan play and let Brinn and Elli try to figure each other out. So here is a run down of some of the fun things we have been able to do.

Jackson and Aidan were so excited to see each other at the airport... they ran hand in hand just like this the rest of the day!
Brinn and Elli...
A few pics from Chuck-E-Cheese


Suckers won by our tickets... mostly won by the parents for playing their new game, Deal Or No Deal... so fun
A day at 6 flags.... Brinn and Grandpa Grandpa, Grandma and the kiddos
Shopping at the outlets... For those of you that have never been to SA, they have the best outlets I have ever been to. Hundreds of stores... it can be overwhelming if you don't go with an idea of what stores you want to go to. Mandi and I were excited because Carter's and Oshkosh were having a warehouse sell to get rid of last seasons stuff.... everything in the store was 2.99. I got so much cute stuff for nothing. FUN FUN FUN!
A happy little girl
Couldn't resist the traditional bath shots.... WE took pics of Aidan and Jacko in the bath together when they were Brinn's and Elli's age... where does the time go?

San Antonio Zoo.... The weather was perfect
I was watching Aidan's little friend Logan and so when the three boys were together everyone would ask if they were triplets... I cant imagine! They were the three little amigos!
Holding hands with grandma!
Aidan's favorite thing to do which he insists on doing every time we sit down for a meal... Cheers!
Timeout. Aidan was sent to timeout for something and within about 20 secs he had his best buds plopped next time him. After that they would run around and then put themselves in time out. The next day he was acting out and I told him if he didn't stop he would have to go to time out and he said "Okay. Time out time." and went to the time out spot... oh brother!
Ride'em Cowboy
Brinn and Elli in their matching outfits. So cute and so happy!

A Great Big Brother

Aidan is such a cute big brother to Brinn. Beside constantly calling her "sweetheart" or "princess," he is just always talking to her and interacting with her. The other day when I got home this is how I found them. He likes to hold her hand in the car and fell asleep this way.



And last night when we were on our way home he was asleep and Brinn was asleep. She started to fuss a little and in his sleep he put his finger up to his mouth and said "sshhh, sshhh, ssshhh."

YEAH!!!

Okay, what could more exciting than mowing your lawn for the first time? I know, I know, some may think we are crazy to have such excitement over this dirty and rather monotonous task. However, anyone that has ever lived in an apartment for over five years understands this excitement.


It was so cute because Aidan followed David all around the yard and was "helping" him mow the lawn.

Breaking Out The Summer Clothes

It is officially getting HOT! MY air conditioner is coming on and is not set to come on until 80 degrees. Anyways, I could not resist taking a few pictures of the cutie!

Where's Waldo... I Mean Aidan

Today I put Aidan in his room for quite time (an essential part of the day since he no longer takes naps) and when I came to check on him an hour later this is what I found. Somewhere in all the mess Aidan had crashed on the floor. Yeah... he really needed a nap. However, you might notice the new underwear he is sporting on his little bum. I am officially trying to potty-train as of today and when I saw him there sleeping I thought to myself, "oh great... he is going to wake-up in a puddle." After a nice long nap I ended up waking him up so that he could go pee-pee on the potty. So far so good today. He's great about going (at least #1) when I put him on the potty but never tells me he has to go. I am hoping the Car and Diego undies spur him on. Wish us luck!

Six Flags

This year we got season's passes to six flags, and yesterday we made our first trip there. It was a hit. Aidan loved it and it was a perfect day; not too hot, a little breezy, and the place was empty. We stuck mostly to the kiddie rides since it was just our little family that went. A couple funny stories: Aidan and David were climbing into the teacups when all of a sudden Aidan hopped out and said "I ride with my friends." He then went and climbed in with this random little girl so David asked her if Aidan could ride with her. He did this a couple more times.... poor little guy needs some cousins to come and ride rides with him ;) The other funny thing was that Aidan could not figure out how to push the peddle on the bumper cars. The guy working the ride even stopped all the other cars and went over and showed him how to do it and he still just sat there. By this time Aidan was getting really frustrated so the worker on the intercom started to tell the other kids to go and bump into him so that he would move. Then when the kids got close he would say "gentle" or "not too hard." David and I got a kick out of it and the funny thing is that he wanted to go again so while the other kids were climbing in their cars David went and coached him on pushing the pedal. Well, second time around he still just sat there until he finally climbed out of his car mid-ride and David went in and grabbed him. I am sure there will be many more pictures of our adventures to Six Flags this year.

Aidan's New Bowl

My mom gave Aidan this new bowl with the built on straw and Aidan loves it. Of course all he wanted to do was drink the milk out and not eat the cereal. Figures! Anyways, thanks Grandma Jo.
