Pirates Cove Mini Golf

Back in April Jaime and I took the kids to play miniature golf. We took them to a place called Pirates Cove, which is about 20 minutes from here. I can remember going to play putt-putt there as a kid! It's set up like a pirate's ship, and even has little streams, ponds, and waterfalls.

We all had a lot of fun! They even gave us a small golf club for Aiden to 'play' with. He didn't use it for hitting the ball though, he had more fun hitting everything else! Ha! Aiden mostly just ran around, and tried to play in the water. I knew Jenny was going to like it, but I didn't know she would LOVE it! She did pretty good, she probably even played better than I did. Ha! We didn't take score though, we were too busy trying to take pictures and chase Aiden around!

Afterwards, we went and ate at Panda Express. I always love eating there. There food is pretty good, and it's always very clean inside.

Here are some pictures from our night....

Easter 2010

Today was such a wonderful day for our family! I couldn't stop thinking about Jesus all day!! Unfortunetly, we didn't go to church this morning. I was up till 5am this morning with a horrible cough, and I was all out of sorts this morning. Thankfully, I am able to watch services from my church online. So, that's what Jenny and I did this morning!


They put on a play called AD33. It was about Jesus, and how he was crucified and resurrected from the grave! It was really great! I tried to find it on YouTube to upload here for you all to see, but it isn't on there. I'll keep checking, and if I find it, I'll post it here.

Jenny watched it with me, and she really liked it! Of course, she had a lot of questions to ask me once it was over. I answered them all the best I could so that she would understand. At first I wasn't so sure if she understood, but then later we went outside and THIS is what she drew....

It's a picture of Jesus on the Cross!!

She also drew a picture of a sad face, and a happy face. She said that the happy face was the blind man that Jesus healed, after he was healed. And the sad face was the people watching Jesus be crucified. She is so smart, and she never stops amazing me!!

The Easter Bunny came to our house this morning, and the kids were both very excited to see their baskets! They BOTH ran to them! Aiden started taking the things out of Jenny's basket, I had to show him which one was his. Ha! Here is a picture of their baskets...

Jenny got: A Spongebob book, sidewalk chalk, a pink stuffed bunny, candy, nail polish (blue, purple, and orange), bubbles, bunny ears, and a chocolate bunny.
Aiden got: A puppy book, a soccer ball, a blue stuffed bunny, candy, bath toys, bubbles, bunny ears, and a chocolate bunny.

After they looked through their baskets, ate breakfast, and we watched the online church service, I took the kids outside to play with the new stuff. That was when Jenny drew the chalk pictures. Aiden LOVED his bubbles, and even learned how to say 'bubble' today! While we were outside, Jenny pointed out two solid white butterflies that were in our backyard. She said they looked like angels. I believe that they were!
We had a great Easter! How about you??

Wordless Wednesday

My sweet little angel....

And....

My little monster...

I LOVE MY KIDS! =)

15 Months Old!

Aiden had his 15 month check up last Tuesday. It's hard to believe he is already 15 months old! Seems like the time has just flown by! Anyway, I thought I'd post his height and weight stats from the visit.

• 
  
  Aiden weighs 24lbs.
• 
  
  Aiden is 33in. long.
• 
  
  He is in the 50th percentile for his weight.
• 
  
  He is in the 90th percentile for his height.

The doctors also said that since he is up to date on all of his shots, and overall he is very healthy and doing really well, that he doesn't need to come back for a check up until he is 2 years old. Needless to say, I am a very proud mama! =) They also said that his legs are looking much better. He still has a lot of flexibility in them, but that will probably never go away. So, overall he is happy and healthy!

On a side note.... Aiden fell today at his Grandma's house and hit his head on the coffee table. He had a huge, bruised, knot on his head in a matter of seconds! We put a cold washcloth on it to help with the swelling. We also gave him some Motrin to help with any pain it would cause him. Poor baby! =( I didn't get to take any pictures of it, I was too busy comforting him. I will try to take some pictures of the aftermath tomorrow, and post them here.

Pizza Time!

 Pizza is his new favorite food!

Trouble Maker!

Everytime Jaime has ever told me about his childhood, he has always talked about what a bad kid he was. He's also always made jokes about how misbehaved his own children would be (especially his son). He said it would be like payback from all the stress he put his mother under.

Aiden has always been a little wild, and maybe even out of control at times. However, more recently he has become meschivious, sneaky, and a little bit of a trouble maker! Just a few days ago I left him by himself in the living room while I went to start a load of laundry. Usually when I leave the room for more than a few minutes, he will either follow me, or I will bring him with me. This time I decided not to because he was having such a good time watching Sesame Street. That turned out to be a BIG MISTAKE! When I came back into the living room, this is how I found him:

Apparently he was looking for the toy inside the cereal box! It was definitely not fun cleaning it up, it was almost a whole box of cereal! It had just been opened earlier that morning! Haha! I think Jaime and I have a little trouble maker on our hands! HELP!! =)

Valentines Day

This year I cooked Valentines Dinner. It's better than going out to eat, you don't have to wait in the long lines and I think it's just nicer when you do it at home.
Our menu included: firery shrimp cocktail, t-bone steaks, creamy spinach, green onion fritters, and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. Jaime took Aiden with him to Walmart so I was able to cook and get everything ready. When they came back, Aiden went to bed, and Jaime and I were able to enjoy a nice quiet dinner at home. The food was great, and Jaime even went so far as to say it was the best meal he'd ever had! I'm not sure if I believe that, but the food was good.
I only took one picture that night, and I used my phone to do it (so the quality is horrible). It's a picture of the table set up from that evening.

Overall Jaime and I had a great night. He picked out the perfect gift for me! I was very impressed at how well he has been paying attention to what I've mentioned I'd like to have. He is a good man! I am very lucky!
