Christmas 2010

I know, it's been over a month! Whew, where did December go? We have been busy. I updated through pictures although they start with the most recent. We had a wonderful Christmas and are so blessed to have two healthy, happy boys and a wonderful family. Aidan really enjoyed Christmas this year and we did our best to explain to him the reason for the season. We had a Jesse advent tree to put a ornament on every night with a story to follow about the ornament. He really enjoyed it this year and I think he got a lot out of it. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas! Now onto a new year! I hope you enjoy these, there's a lot. I had to make up for lost time.
Noah sitting in his favorite position! How cute!

Old blue eyes, crawling! I know everyone thinks he looks just like Aidan did although they do resemble each other, but Noah looks like Josh did at this age, even his hair!


Proud to be mobile! He is so funny!! All of a sudden he is a momma's boy. No matter what I'm doing he is after me. I will say, I love when he crawls to me and I'm standing and looks he will up to make sure it's me. He then puts his hands up for me to help him up! Oh the little things that make my heart melt!


I just love this picture. The boys working on Creepy Crawlers. It's something Aidan wanted, you make bugs out of this jell. You put in into a mold and then into to ice water. I'm glad Aidan said "maybe I will like this next time". So we put it away for a while. I must say it's a bit messy!


The boys and I opening gifts Christmas morning!


Christmas morning! Noah is obsessed with climbing on the picnic table. It safe except for the concrete scored floors under it. I am so scared of him hitting his head on them.

Aidan checking out his things!


Noah looking at his weebles!


Noah's gifts!

Aidan's Santa gifts!

Aidan baking Santa's cookies! He loved that Santa left crumbs on the plate, he said "Santa made a mess"!

Aidan checking out a book, he loves books and always has. Lately when he wakes up in the morning he will gather about 5 or 6 books and bring them down.


Being silly! This is a face we see a lot when the camera is out!


Noah doing his thing, pulling up!


Aidan got a Wii from my mom for Christmas. He can't quit figure it out yet but Josh helps him. I think it won't be long!!


Our sweet boy, whom is still not sleeping through the night! I will say he weighs 10lbs less than Aidan. It's hard to believe he was a preemie still! Boy how time flies! 8 1/2 months already!

I'm sure most have heard that we are moving back to Hernando. It will be hard for a while on everyone, until we can sell our house in Jonesboro. Josh still has the same job and boss just a different territory. It's a better fit for him but I must say I am excited about being back "home"!
I will miss my friends I have made and I'm sure Aidan will miss some of his but it will be easier on the boys to see everyone more! We were really blessed to have moved here and for Josh to have this wonderful job, you never know why things happen but there is always a plan for everyone!


Josh with his cousins and sister at Christmas. I love getting together with them. The women exchange ornaments every year so I get 7 new ornaments every year for my tree. It's a good tradition!


A good family shot! It's hard to get everyone looking their best but I think this one is perfect!



Noah was more interested in the box of course, more than the presents. Once you took the toy out of the box he was no longer interested. This boy is going to be a climber!


Sweet Kaley! She and Aidan play so well together! It's hard to believe she and Noah will be in the same grade!

Gran holding Noah. It was a little crazy while Aidan was sorting through the presents but he did a good job arranging them for everyone!


This was Aidan's first gifts to open at Gran and Pops. He was so excited he could hardly wait. He then continued to open everyone's for them. I think he enjoyed the surprise of what was wrapped!


Aidan and Noah at the school Christmas party. They were decorating their cookies, kids and sprinkles! A great combination!


Aidan, Bella and Noah getting started. It was a lot of fun, but I helped with the party and it was a lot of work! I stress over everthing though. I sometimes forget that 3/4 year olds don't care what they have!

Our little Noah crawling! He's a busy body, just into everything! It's hard to think he's doing these things already. Aidan didn't crawl until 10 months. Noah crawled at 7 1/2 and was pulling up and cruising at 8 1/2. He's gotta keep up some how!


"Will and Aidan" I had to put this picture on here. It's from thanksgiving when we went to Madison. These boys have no choice but to be friends. Chad and Josh have been best friends since grade school and now if their boys aren't the same age. It's scary that they are so much alike. Can't wait for the years to come as they grow to know each other better!

Noah and Aidan before Aidan's Christmas program at the school. I didn't get any good pictures of the program. It was dark and a lot of other parents were up front taking pictures so I couldn't get close enough. Aidan did a really good, I can't believe he's big enough to walk right past us and just wave. The last program he was in was a Christ Methodist when he was 2 1/2 and he screamed the entire time because he saw us. I must say it's bitter sweet!


Proud grandma's "Gran" and "Honey" with the boys!

Look at that face! I just love his smile, it's contagious!

7 months

It's hard to believe that 7 months ago this sweet little boy entered our lives! I never thought I could love another like I did Aidan. Two boys are great and overwhelming at times but I wouldn't change a minute of it!!! Noah is sitting up and trying to crawl. I think he will be able to catch Aidan before long!!!!
The boys and I went to Madison to stay with Gran and Pop to have pictures made and while I was there I took a few for Christmas cards. I had a chance to hang out with the Carr family to snap a few of them for their Christmas card too!
Aidan woke up Monday morning throwing up but thankfully it only happened once. He didn't feel good the whole day and we just lounged around all day. He was all better this morning and went right on to school!
We are ready for thanksgiving and I am hoping to get the tree up this week! Aidan enjoys Christmas so much I want to keep it up as long as possible. Hope everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving! Enjoy!!


Our sweet boys out on the Lynch family land in Canton


Aidan comfy on the couch!


Love this one, he's so cute!


Love these legs, so sweet!

Fun in October!

Where do I start? Aidan has had a busy weekend! He had his halloween party at school and it was lots of fun. They played hide n seek with a pumpkin and Aidan found it once, heard a few stories, sang songs, told rhymes and had a little snack. He really enjoyed it and so did I!
Saturday was my birthday and it was great! I got a hour facial and lots of wonderful gifts. Josh and I took the boys for some miniature golf also, Aidan is no Tiger Woods but he tried! My dad came and stayed the night saturday night and Josh grilled out steaks. It was a wonderful 31st birthday!
On sunday Aidan had a birthday party from 2-4 at Gavin Trent's house (his class friend). After that Aidan and I headed to the church for the street party, it had games, food and the blow up slides. Noah and Josh stayed back at the house for a little rest. When we got back from the church it was about dark and the trick or treating started. Aidan was a trooper, he went to all the houses on our street and in the coves but after that he was ready to come home. He handed out candy to the trick or treater's also, he thought it was fun too.
Hope everyone else enjoyed Halloween, we sure did. I didn't mind being Princess Leia either, made me feel like a kid again and Aidan loved it!!





Aidan loves Noah!

My cupcakes Aidan picked out for my birthday!


Check out Noah's two teeth! Can't believe it!!

Noah's 6 months!!!

Kaley 13 months



Big Boy~


Aidan was trying to hold him standing up but Noah kept pushing him back! It may be this way forever!! :-)



It's hard to believe but it's been 6 months already. Noah weighed 17lbs 4oz and was 25 inches long. He has two teeth on the bottom and is trying to sit up. He's such a happy baby but these 4 shots have been tough on him. I hope that he will be better by tomorrow.

Aidan is doing great also, just trying to get over a snotty nose. He is learning a lot a school and loves share day. Thursday is share day and he asks everyday "Mommy is it share day?". He always takes some figure from star wars. It's hard to believe that he likes star wars. We went to Madison this past weekend and Gran had all of Josh's Star Wars figures and Aidan took one of those today for Share day.

I put a few pictures of Kaley on here that I took. She is cute, cute, cute! It was fun taking pictures of her, I would love to do this on the side but it's a lot to it!

Hope everyone is enjoying this fall weather, we sure are! Enjoy the pictures!!!!!
