Galveston, TX

Grammy and Grampy took the three grandsons to Galveston for a few days. I was able to go along for the fun, too. Everyone had a great time...I think the adults were more tired than the kids! Chasing 3 boys was wild...I don't know how people handle a bunch of kiddos! Aidan was able to do a bunch of "firsts" on this trip...went to the beach, played miniature golf, went to Schlitterbahn...here are a bunch of pics of the fun times...

Grammy's Spaghetti

Anyone who has had the privilege of eating my mom's food knows she is an excellent cook! And, one of my favorite meals (as well as my bff, Megan's) is her spaghetti. Aidan and I went to stay with my parents for a few days this week while RJ was in Chicago for work. One night, mom fixed her infamous spaghetti. Aidan doesn't usually like pasta (except for macaroni), but he decided he wanted to try some of my dinner...so, I gave him a bite and what happened next was hysterical. He wouldn't let me cut it up because he was having too much fun trying to slurp it up! Pronouncing the word "spaghetti" is pretty hard for little ones and provides for a few smiles, too. Enjoy the clips...

I love Grammy's "fusagetti"!

Summertime Fun

We've been able to see a lot of family since we moved...Aidan is really enjoying his time with his cousins. We're also enjoying playing outside a bunch. Here are some pics of all the fun we're having this summer!

These are in Grammy and Grampy's backyard...playing baseball. My oldest nephew, Sage, was throwing the ball for Aidan...Sage is always really sweet to Aidan and Aidan adores him! I love the concentration in the second one and the eyes in the last one! : )





These are also at Grammy and Grampy's house. The first was one of many photos...trying to get a group photo of the 3 boys is interesting! We got a couple of cute ones, though. And, the second is of Aidan and Skyler swimming in the backyard. Aidan loves spending time with Sage and Skyler!




These are from this past weekend...during a visit from Nani, Tati, Aunt Mari, and Bella. The first is of baby Jason...he is too cute! Then, we got the 3 cousins together for a photo shoot...both Bella and Aidan are pretty intrigued by baby Jason. The third was of Aidan and Bella saying goodbye at the end of the weekend...it was really neat watching them play this time. We all had a great visit!





Two more of our little guy...he is getting so big, I guess I can't really say LITTLE guy anymore. He loves to be outside...in the first one, we are trying out his new t-ball set, which he loves! In the second, he is riding his motorcycle that he got from Aunt Candy and Uncle Bob for his last b-day. He is finally tall enough to reach the pedals and "ride" by himself, although it is really a group effort to get anywhere. But, we did ride to Big D and Cookie's house yesterday!
