Sweet Kaley!

I haven't updated the blog since we went to Luke and Rachel's wedding a week ago in Madison. It was a very sweet and pretty wedding and Aidan enjoyed himself. We also go to meet baby Kaley (Aidan says Kadey), Liza's baby (Josh's sister). I think Aidan really liked her, seemed like he wanted to help a little with feeding her a bottle. After we got home he would act like he was crying like a baby, it was pretty cute! The first picture is of our neighbor Izzy (Aidan calls her Biz), she stayed the night with us while her mom and dad were out of town. Let me just say Aidan loved this, considering he thinks she hung the moon! He really enjoyed Biz reading to him and sometimes he pretends that she is eating dinner with us. Aidan has really been doing well when I drop him off at school and not crying, it makes me feel better. He is also repeating everything and loves Mickey Mouse! That is a good thing since we are going to Seaworld and Disneyworld October 29. We are going to have so much fun! Aidan always says "Mick Mouse hold" which means he wants Mickey Mouse to hold him, we will see if that happens! This weekend our neighborhood is having a fall festival with a parade. The kids can dress up and ride whatever they want and then we are having hotdogs. It's a neat thing, glad they are doing that. Hope everyone has a good week. I hope this rain stops soon!

Hotty Toddy!

We went to the Grove on saturday before the Ole Miss game and Aidan had a blast! It was a little muddy but we wore our boots and walked right through it. I forgot my camera so I took a few pictures of Aidan in his new Rebel attire. We had a visit from our neighbors dog last night "Captain", he got out and our neighbors were not home yet. This was fun, Aidan and Lucy both had a good time with him. We also went to the fair last night, Aidan really enjoyed that too! A new thing that Aidan has started doing is pretending. This morning Aidan sat all of his stuffed animals at the table and needless to say he didn't leave a seat for mommy or daddy so he offered us a seat in the floor! They all got two cheerios as he said "have some moose, huh?" and then he goes onto lay them down and say "thankyou!". It was too cute! We have a birthday party to go to this weekend here in Jonesboro. It's a girl that I met that's from Booneville, Ms. It's at ASU party and I think Aidan is going to have a lot of fun! We are also having pictures made saturday afternoon in southaven, it's the first family picture since Aidan was born. I am so excited! Hope everyone has a great week! Enjoy the pictures!!!!!

Labor day weekend

We had a good relaxing weekend. It was nice just to hang out and have nothing to do. Aidan and I went to Sesame Street Live in Southaven on friday. He enjoyed it but after an hour he was saying car, car, car! So we left and met up with some friends from Hernando for lunch, which Aidan really enjoyed. We put up the "big boy bed" on saturday needless to say the gate we ordered for the top of the stairs came in but the rails for the bed didn't. The rails came in today and I can say that Aidan is asleep right now in his big boy bed! YAY!!!!! Let's hope that it is this easy tonight. He has to take a nap after school because he doesn't take one at school, I'm sure he will start soon. Josh and I are headed to Hardy, Ar this weekend (which is only about 40 minutes from our house) with Adam and Claire for an adult weekend. I know it will be good to catch up with them and sleep later than 6:20! Hope everyone has a great week!!!!!!

A fun afternoon

Here are some pictures from outside this afternoon. Aidan was playing with Izzy (our next door neighbor who is almost 9) and she was making him laugh. He loves her and calls her "Biz". He is doing good at school, the teachers say he is really sweet and listens. Although, he has only taken a nap once out of three days, I know he will get used to their schedule soon. I hate dropping him off because he screams and they have to pull him out of the car as he screams "hold momma". It just breaks my heart but they always come right back out and he has already stopped crying and is playing. Hope everyone has a great labor day weekend. The only plans we have are setting up the "big boy" bed and watching the REBELS play! Hotty Toddy!

Wonderful weather!

Oh, how we have enjoyed this wonderful cool weather! It has been so nice outside, we wore pants to church yesterday. Here are a few pictures of us playing around in the backyard. I just ordered side rails for Aidan's big boy bed. It "should" be an easy transition. We will see! I will post some pictures as soon as we get it together. Hope everyone has a great week!

Aidan's first day of school!

Aidan and his train book

Aidan is going to St. Marks Episcopal Pre-School this year, it is from 8:30 to 2:30 on tues. and thurs. It is a really neat program, kind of similar to his previous mothers day out program. They are very organized and offer different things to do while he is there like: kindermusic, tumbling for tots and a few other things. We went yesterday for a meet and greet with his teachers and he didn't want to leave. This morning when I dropped him off the girl came to the car to get him and he went straight to her and walked right in without even looking back! I am so proud of him for being a big boy! Hopefully thursday will go just as smooth. They pick three students each month to be a star student and Aidan is one of the star students this month. He brought his train book with him today and I am going to round up a few pictures to take on thursday. Hope everyone has a great week! We are sure enjoying this beautiful weather!

Arkansas!!!!

So, it has been two months since I blogged last. I have a lot of catching up to do. We are loving Arkansas so far. It's a small town but has everything and more that we need. Aidan is doing great just getting big and he seems to amaze me everyday. I can't believe he's 2 1/2 already, this has been a busy year so far. Josh is doing good with his job, it was a change after being in an office for 9 years and now traveling and working from home. I hope to get Aidan back into a school in August and I am going to try to work a few days while he is at school. Thanks for all the concerns and prayers through this bump in our life. I knew it would all work out! Everything does happen for a reason!!!!! Here are some pictures of Aidan and some of our new house. Enjoy!!!
