Aidan is 3!!

Today is my baby's birthday and Aidan is 3. I made him "piggie" pancakes for breakfast and he opened all his presents. I can't believe it's been 3 years since I had him. I remember it all like it was yesterday. We took him to dinner at Texas Roadhouse(his favorite place) with Grandma and Grandpa M. and Auntie Heather. Then we went to see Santa and the Xmas lights at Blossom Music Center. This is our yearly tradition to do on Aidan's birthday. It was a very good day;) His birthday party with all his friends will be on Saturday, Dec 6th at Pump it Up.

Check-Ups for the boys!

Both boys went to the Drs today for their check-ups. Aidan for his 3 year and Colin for his 9 month. Aidan weighs 31lbs, 4 ozs and is 36.25" tall(25th%). Colin weighs 19lbs, 12 ozs and is 28.75" long(75th%). It looks like Colin IS going to be our line backer! They both had to get flu shots and hep shots. Both cried, but got over it quickly. Our Pediatrician is SO great and said both boys are healthy and look GREAT! It's always nice to go to the Drs and get a good report. Aidan is also fully potty-trained now(except bedtime) and we're so proud of him. About 3 weeks ago we stopped diapers and he's been great ever since. He tells us every time he has to go and can go on his own too. I guess one day it just clicks and they get it:) I'm so happy to have one out of diapers.

Colin is growing up too fast!

Colin is now crawling and sitting up on his own. He is also trying to stand and pull himself up. He has a total of 4 teeth now and I can't believe he's almost 9 months. Here are some recent pics of our little guy.

Halloween Fun

It's been a few weeks since my last post and we've been really busy. Halloween was very fun for us this year. Since Aidan is almost 3 he finally got the point of trick-or-treating and really loved it. It was also Colin's 1st Halloween, so that was exciting too:) Below are some pictures of the boys dressed up...which I've been meaning to post for awhile now.

Fun-filled Weekend

We had a jam packed weekend!

Friday night we took Aidan to a football game at Perry High School. It was the homecoming game, so it was packed. Our friends Sarah, Dave, & Maddy met us up there and the kids had a great time playing.

Saturday we took Colin to sign class and he is really taking to it and learning new things. We had a clam bake that evening. It was fun to have some adult time and hang out with our friends. The food was wonderful and we stayed until 2am!

Sunday we took the boys out to Kirtland to a Halloween Fest. Aidan got to trick-or-treat and decorate a pumpkin. It was very HOT, so Colin was a little fussy and didn't get to wear his costume long. He went as a skunk and the costume is very heavy and furry. Aidan is a pirate and was SO cute and looked great.

Pumpkin Picking!

I thought I'd post a few pics of our pumpkins and pumpkin picking. Every year we go to Patterson's Fruit Farm and it's so much fun.

Update on the boys!

So the boys continue to grow and amaze us daily.

Colin said his 1st word on Sunday, which happened to be "dada." He is also very close to crawling. He gets on all fours and moves a step or two before falling. I think within the next week he's really going to be moving.

Aidan learned how to ride his tricycle and can put on his socks and shoes. He is very proud of both of these accomplishments. We also go to a weekly story/craft time at Hawkin School. He loves it there(and so do I). We will be going to the open house at the end of month and hope to get him into Preschool there next year. It's an amazing school with a lot to offer for him.

The next few weeks are going to be very busy ones. We have a lot of Halloween fun planned for the boys and some adult parties for mommy and daddy:) I can't believe how close we are to Halloween already. Aidan is going to be a Pirate and Colin is a Skunk. Both look so cute in their outfits.
