Book Babies

Aiden and I went to Book Babies at the library this week. It was so much fun! We sang songs, read stories, did little hand jives, and played with the other babies and moms there. I would highly recommend going for all you moms out there with little ones. Just check your local library to see if they have any programs like this. Most of the time they are free and are a lot of fun. This class was for babies 1 and younger, but there was also a class for toddlers and even older kids.

For Grandma and Grandpa

I know you probably all get tired of my posts of Aiden but I have to show him off for Grandma and Grandpa who are in Renesselar, Indian on a mission. So here ya go Grandma and Grandpa... enjoy! (And anyone else who would like to watch you are more than welcome) Oh and just to make it clear, Aiden is not walking on his own just with his toy car and along furniture.

This is Aiden being overly excited and a little crazy as he plays with his ball!

Just playing and talking to Nana's bear.

My little dare devil standing without holding on!

Walking!

I bought Aiden this push car toy for a great deal at Once Upon a Child. He is starting to push it around, and loves it when dad gives him a ride on it.

They're Finished!

The Relief Society president in our ward asked me to make something for all the sisters in the ward for their birthday. Today I finally finished putting the last 178th package together!! Thanks to my husband, mother-in-law, sister-in-law Cindy, and Aunt Kay for all your help!

I LOVE My Baths!

Swimming with Cousin Jack

Aiden's cousin Jack came to visit yesterday. Aiden was so excited to have someone to play with. Here they are splashing away and having a great time in the pool.

A Great 4th of July Weekend

Fireworks, family, food and fun! It was a great weekend. Bryan, Aiden and I spent 4th of July weekend at the Monson Family Reunion in Woodland, WA at my Aunt and Uncles house. We had a great time. We arrived on Thursday night for my cousin Josh's wedding reception. We got to meet the gorgeous bride, eat some delicious food and dance. Bryan had a great time dancing with all the little girls. They all wanted a turn. (the reception was casual and it was cold, that's why Bryan is wearing a sweatshirt) The reunion started on Friday. During the day we enjoyed visiting with relatives, eating great food, playing games, and just having fun. That night we had a patriotic program, watched the neighbors fireworks and then enjoyed watching our own.
Bryan and Tyler had a great time lighting all the fireworks. These were some big ones! They were gorgeous. I was so scared that Aiden was going to be scared, but he loved seeing all the pretty lights in the sky.
On Saturday Aiden and I along with most of my family went caving! Bryan and my Uncle went golfing. It was a lot of fun, but my arms were super sore by the end from carrying Aiden the whole way. After caving we went back and ate some lunch, the kids went swimming, we played some volleyball, the kids went on a scavenger hunt, we had a little program, had some dinner, watched a movie and then went to bed. On Sunday most people went home. Bryan and I and some of my siblings stayed and went to church and had dinner together. Then on Monday Bryan, Aiden and I made the long drive home. Here are some pictures of Aiden in the car. He did so good! I was so glad!
