Aidan's 1st Birthday

Our precious Aidan turned a year old on January 19th. I thought a lot about this past year and how blessed Craig and I are to have Aidan. He is our world and we love him more than anything. I truly feel that being a parent is the biggest responsibility one can take on. God has entrusted us with this child to love and care for. There has been so many wonderful memories this past year and I look forward to many more to come. Aidan's party theme was "Elmo" since that is his favorite character on Sesame Street,which we watch every morning in bed. It is always so neat to see the smile that lights up his face when Elmo appears on screen. It was the most gorgeous day after a long week of rain. He was surrounded by many who love him dearly and it was a wonderful party.

It has been way too long since I last wrote and much has taken place in the last few months!

I will start with the exciting Christmas surprise of discovering there is another baby on the way. Our family will be expanding and Aidan will be a big brother. Next, Shauna and Ryan welcomed their beautiful little boy Dylan to the family on Christmas Eve! These pictures are of the holidays and Dylan's arrival. 

Anniversary Date!

Three years ago Craig and I spontaneously went to the court house on Halloween and got married! Spooky! Anyway, we technically have two wedding anniversaries. 

We also have not been on a date since Aidan was born so we decided it was time. We got a limo for the day and went up to Temecula to the wineries. We had a wonderful time together and Aidan did fantastic with Grandma and Grandpa. 

By the way, that is a bottle of Caymus Special Select. The best wine ever!

Halloween!

Our First Halloween was a blast! We put Aidan in his Fireman costume and he looked so handsome like his Daddy. We went by "G,G's" house and then came home and had the family over. It was lots of fun and Aidan and Elizabeth had a blast together as usual. 

Pumpkin Patch!

Pumpkin Patch! Aidan's first trip to the pumpkin patch at Bates Nut Farm! We had so much fun!

Erica's Birthday!

Erica just celebrated her birthday and we had the best day! It started with a lim0 (which is always a good sign) and went to a shopping spree, lunch at the Coronado Del Hotel and a pedicure! What a day for the girls to relax!

Just for fun!

Just for fun...I love both these tender pictures. One is Elizabeth with her mohawk in the bath tub....and the other is Beba with Aidan.
