Aiden Michael

Meet my newest newphew, Aiden Michael! Born Feb. 22, 2009. He weighed 7lbs., 2oz. and was 19.5 inches long! Check out all that hair!

Presidents' Day spent at the Children's Museum

I finally took the boys to the Children's Musuem and what a neat place! They had a blast! It was just perfect for Jackson because he could run freely, which is what he needs! Plus, it was great spending time with my brother Matt, his wife Susan, my neice Mackenzie and of course Lindsay and Logan!

Dylan loving looking at himself in the mirror - this was in an infant area which is great for him!

Greatest Valentine's Day Present

My brother, Matt, arrived home on Valentine's Day after a year long tour in Iraq. We are so happy he is home safe! His wife, Susan couldn't have received a better Valentine's Day present!

My Grandmother recently went to a nursing home after spending a couple weeks in the hospital and then Hospice. Thankfully, she seems to be on the road to recovery and hopefully after some therapy, she will be able to go home. After we picked Matt up from his army unit, we stopped by the nursing home to surprise Grandmother. She had no idea he was coming home that morning. She was SO HAPPY to see him. (we interrupted her therapy)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Happy Valentine's Day! I made a cake for Tom (he LOVES desserts!) and Jackson and Logan each enjoyed a much smaller version of the cake and even Dylan had a little lick of chocolate :)

The boys

The best is when the boys see each for the first time every morning!

Playing together.

Jackson's big boy bed!

Last week we took the front rail off Jackson's crib! He loves his new big boy bed - loves climbing in and out! The crib converts to a full size bed which we will be doing soon - we just need to pick up my mattresses from my parent's house.

Ready for bed - with his drill and saw plus Elmo and puppy - he has everything he needs to go to sleep.

Cuties!

Dylan thinking he's old enough to ride the horse - he's actually pretty good at holding on!!!

Jackson wearing his cool Guns-N-Roses shirt from Uncle Jeff! He was singing and yes, singing with cooking utensils! Whatever makes him happy!

Playdate at the Aquarium

Jackson and Dylan had so much fun at the Aquarium yesterday. What a fun playdate with Grace, Cole, Ella, Josie, Jaycie, and Logan! Although the boys were very worn out, they refused to take a nap when we got home!! I still think we should have gotten a group rate discount :)
