Aaron's 5th Birthday

Aaron had a hugely successful Birthday Party at the end of August. (Ok, so I'm a wee bit behind on my blogging. Better late than never right?) We had it at Grammy and Papa's house with a pinata, swimming and BBQ. It was great! He wanted a castle cake with people looking out the windows. So crazy Mommy decided he should have it and I'm glad he enjoyed it because WOW that was quite the endeavor. He started eating it before we could even cut it! Happy Birthday my Sweet Boy!

The Pumpkin Farm

Happy October! With this lovely fall weather comes our favorite fall trip to the Pumpkin Farm. We went this weekend and had a great time. Big Pony Rides, Bumpy Slides, Pig Races, Picnics, Trains and so much more...how could you not have fun? The boys had fum with Grandma, Grandpa and "Cuzin Maddi". They especially loved seeing Grandpa as the Flagger (I have no idea if that's the correct term for that job or not, but it sounds good to me.) at the end of the Pig Races.

All grown up

 

It's official! Aaron has started Kindergarten. He looked absolutely adorable (of course) and he totally rocked 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed. I think he is a genius! =) When We left, He just waved goodbye and went back to his book. I of course got in the car and began the waterworks. (like any rational Mother would do).

When I picked him up his teacher told me he did great, but I wanted some detail. So I asked him all about it and his answer to almost everything was, "I don't remember." He is just like his Daddy. I so wanted to to be a little fly on the wall. I guess I should get used to it. I remember when I was asked how school was and I always said "Fine".

I came to the realization tonight that I have been building up this first day for so long that I failed to remember we have at least fifteen more years of this! We have to go back... everyday! Hopefully he will learn to spill the gossip a little in that time, or I might have to become the room mommy through out High School. "Anyone for juice boxes?"

I still can't believe my little baby is in school. I guess I better get used to that too!

Dillan's Beach

It was our last weekend of the summer, so we took the kids to Dillan's Beach. It was a gorgeous drive and we beat the heat. Aaron loved being buried in the sand. Ty loved rolling down the ramp of sand. Jeremy and I got some relaxation. We had a great day...

Rockin' Out!

I couldn't pass this one up...Ty almost never joins in to the musical festivities! The boys got their groove on to Taylor Swift "You belong with me". I filmed this with a smile on my face the whole time. I totally wanted to sing and dance with them, lucky for you I barely restrained myself. =) It's hilarious and adorable all at once. Enjoy!!!

SSSHHH

"SSSHHH! Quiet the fireworks are coming..."

Happy 4th of July!!!

"The Gang"

Jeremy and Aaron watching the show.

We had a BBQ with friends and neighbors and had a great time. Simple times like this make me grateful for the country we live in.
