The Boys

2011-10-11T18:58:00.000-07:00

Since it has been forever since I updated my blog I decided to post a few recent pictures and info of the boys.
Aiden recently finished his soccer league at the local Y. He did such a great job, and was so excited that he scored a goal at the last game.He started school last month and LOVES it, he is learning so much. Aiden is really into Spiderman, Kung fu Panda, and Cars. We love that he is becoming quite the grown up these days by reminding us that maguire is small and he is BIG.
Maguire has been growing leaps and bounds these days. He started crawling at 6 months, yes two days after he started sitting up by himself. No stopping him there, he began pulling himself up on things shortly after that, and now is cruising around behind a wagon. He also has taken two steps last week, and is well on his way to be walking soon. YIKES!
I love how the boys are learning and growing so much, I just wish I could slow down time, but not sure that is going to happen so I guess we will just enjoy every minute!!

Hottest Day Ever

2011-06-02T18:20:00.000-07:00

I recently purchased a huge canvas in hopes printing a perfect picture of the boys for Trent for Father's day. So the Other day the kids and I ventured out for the challenge. The boys were troopers, I swear I happen to pick the hottest day of the year thus far. The sun was so bright that the boys could not even open their eyes in some of the photos, But hey we gave it a try hu?! Here are some of the shots from that hot, but fun day.

Day at the park

2011-05-05T12:08:00.000-07:00

We finally had good weather, so we decided to take advantage of it, and head to the park for a little catch. Followed by smoothies!!

They are growing fast!!!

2011-03-31T10:47:00.000-07:00

Here is a little update of the boys and how fast they are growing!! Maguire is almost 4 months now, wow! I can't believe how fast time is flying by. Maguire has such a great little personality, he smiles all the time, he loves to laugh, listen to his brother talk to him, take warm baths, be held, and LOVES to sleep. Which I love as well.. He is rolling over every chance he gets, he is always on the move. He is now sleeping from 10-7 and we are loving every minute of it!! We love our happy Little Maguire Magoo!! Aiden is also getting so big!! He loves spiderman, riding his bike, and kicking any type of ball around the house. He recently has become one more step closer to sealing the deal and being POTTY TRAINED!!! He has not had any accidents in the last three days and has started going to the toilet all by himself (without me reminding him that he has to go pee in the potty) It has been a long road of potty training, but we are so glad that he are finally done, well for a little while. Aiden loves to laugh, sing his ABC, and talk to me like a big kid. Aiden starts swim lessons in two weeks and is so excited. He also is already to start his soccer league in April with a real coach, jerseys, and a trophy at the end of the season. He is so so excited for that! So that is a little update of the boys, everyone else is doing great here in Indiana!!

Today was such a great day outside that I decided to take some pictures of Aiden. He is getting so big these days, I don't know where the time goes. He is such an amazing little boy that makes me laugh everyday. I am so grateful to be his mom and can't wait to see him with his new baby brother! Aiden is going to be such a great big brother, He talks to my belly all the time and tell the baby to come home soon!! I love it, and LOVE my little man.

Updates Finally

2010-11-01T11:42:00.000-07:00

It has been a crazy couple of months!! Moving to indiana in April for Trents summer work, finding out in the middle of Aug. that he was offered a year round position, flying home to Boise to pack up our Boise home, drive 40 hours back in a moving truck with a toddler who was actually a trooper, living in a hotel for 5 weeks, searching for a home in indiana, finally finding one, moving into the house, unpacking, making it feel like home..

Today we are in a house that is beginning to feel more like home and starting our new adventure for the next TWO years. Here is proof that we are still alive!! Also only 6 weeks left till we get to hold our new little baby boy!!! We can't wait!!!

Aiden is 2!!!

2010-06-05T10:21:00.001-07:00

HAppy Happy Birthday my sweet little Aiden!! Aiden recently had his 2nd birthday and I can't believe how time flies. So I thought that I would post a few pictures from over these 2 years that just reminds me how grateful I am to have this little boy in my life and how much joy he bring me each and everyday!We love you Aiden and Happy Birthday!!

LIGHTNING!! Yep that is mcqueen

2010-04-28T19:33:00.000-07:00

So Aiden has been so good with going to the potty in the toliet, and telling us when he need to use the potty. We decided to start a potty chart and when he filled it up we would move to the next step and get him some new underwear. Well the chart filled up very quickly considering that he pees every 10 min. and loved flushing the toilet so the excitment continued to excel. After getting a blizzard for doing so well, we made the plunge today and got him some underwear, Lightning Mcqueen underwear and he loves them! Here are a few pictures of him in the cute little whitie tidies. He looks so cute and very excited as you can see from the pictures! Does he not more and more like TRENT everyday? Love my boys

What a morning!!

2010-04-20T17:17:00.000-07:00

The last couple of days I have had the worst ear ache and can not seem to shake it, and last night was by far the worst night yet. Since I was up almost all night Trent decided to get Aiden in the morning so that I could sleep. I know what you are all thinking right now.. Trent is such a great guy and a wonderful husband, though I totally agree since the thought was there but he was being a little lazy this morning. So his so called getting Aiden consisted of getting him a glass of milk and some cherrios in a cup while he covered his face with ablanket and fell back asleep on the couch. We have been working with Aiden on getting potty trained and he has been doing a great job of telling us when he has to go. So he told trent and grabbed his diaper, and Trent was still tired so he just ignored him. Aiden persisted to tell Trent that he was stinky and Trent said that he could smell him, but was just ignoring him for a few more minutes. For everyone that knows Aiden knows that he does not give up so he started jumping on trents chest and touching his face to get his attention. Trent said that the smell was getting stronger and stronger so he got Aiden to stop touching his face and decided to finally change him. When he looked a little closer he realized that Aiden had wiped poop all over his face as well as Trent's every time he touched him while getting his attention. He looked in the mirror and at Aiden, they were both covered in poop. So sick!!! The worst part is that Trent was wiping the poop off Aiden's face and not realizing that Aiden had scratched his face on the couch the night before and got a raspberry. He thought it was poop and rubbed it raw:( After everyone was all cleaned Trent walked back into the room and said, are you ready for your turn? ha ha ha Thanks for the thought hon!! Its the thought that counts right?

2010-03-05T21:48:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago we went sledding as a family, and brought Aiden's cousins (which he adores) with us to Idaho City for a full day of laughs. Everyone had a blast here are some pictures from the outing.

What a sneaky little bug

2010-01-10T15:39:00.000-08:00

Aiden is becoming quite the little independent man these days. He grabs diapers and wipes when he is wet and needs to be changed, puts his coat on by himself, and recently has discovered that he can open the freezer and get a go-gurt out and start eating it.

So the other morning, I was talking on the phone to my sister and the freezer started beeping, (which it does when it has been left open for to long) and I could hear Aiden making noises with some wrappers. So I yelled to him from the other room to close the freezer and to come into the room. The beeping continued and I was still engaged in my conversation that I forgot about the freezer. 5 min later Aiden walks into my room and hands me a stick.. Yes a stick from a choc. covered Heath Dilly bar from DQ. Yep that little boy ate the whole thing, finished every last crumb and brought me the stick!!! Here is my cute little sneaky bug after he ate his breakfast.. The dilly bar!!!

What a great day!!!!

2009-12-15T12:34:00.000-08:00

This last sat. we had a busy, but great day! We baked sugar cookies, played in the fresh snow, and went to the ward christmas party. So here are so pictures of our fun family day, and can I add how much Aiden loved Santa!!! Oh how things have changed from the year before.. Ha ha

2009-11-09T15:20:00.000-08:00

Just a small update of the exciting new things that have been going on in our little household!! 1St Aiden moved into a TWIN bed and is loving it!! He climbs up and snuggles with his little bear every night before he goes to bed.

2nd Aiden has been very interested in going to the bathroom in the toilet!!! He pees daily in the toilet and has recently pooped twice in the toilet, I am very excited for my growing boy!!!

3rd Trent has become a little mountain man!! This last saturday Trent went up to Idaho City and chopped down a few trees to stock up on wood for our wood stove. He loved feeling like a mountain man, and I love that we have a ton of firewood to heat our house!!

I love my BOYS so much and am so grateful for the small things that make my life so great!!

I Love Fall

2009-10-25T21:52:00.000-07:00

I love the fall the leaves are so fun and make great family fun

Mexican Cruise with my hubby!!!

2009-10-18T13:19:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I updated my blog so I thought I would do a little update. Trent and I recently went on a cruise and left our little boy for the 1st time.. Oh man that was such a big step for me, and harder than I thought it would be. The first picture posted is a picture of Aiden when he rode with us to the airport. It was so sad he was laughing and smiling the whole way there. He really thought that he was going on a trip with us. I also posted another picture below of Aiden when we got out of the car and he didn't. It was heartbreaking, but nice to know that Aiden was in such good hands and he loved every mintue of playing with his cousins. My sister Hailey was a saint and offered to watch our busy little boy along with her 1,3, and 5 year old. I was just preparing her for twins!!!( if she is ever blessed with them.) She was so good with Aiden and he just loves his cousins!! Thank you Hailey and we love you so much!!

As for Trent and I we had a blast playing in the hot sun, lounging at the pool, people watching, and snorkling in the crystal blue waters of Cabo. I am so grateful for the time I had with my husband and loved every minute of it. I love him more and more everyday that we share together and this was just icing on the cake. Here are some pictures from the trip and a couple of Aiden so he wouldn't be left out!!!

We Made it to Boise!!!

2009-09-23T20:35:00.000-07:00

After driving 17 hours on Sunday and 16 hours on monday, we finally made it home to Boise. Aiden could not have been happier!!!!

Busy Week in Dc

2009-08-30T15:25:00.000-07:00

This week was a busy, but great week. Trent, Aiden, and I went to the Redskins Football game and It was a blast. Aiden also played in the park for 4 hours and loved chasing the squirrels and playing Harry Potter this a stick he found. Aiden also has really loved being in the bath, which is good because he loves to make a mess. I also Added a video of Aiden doing a piggy nose, he is so cute when he makes a pig noise. please disreguard the glasses, I need new ones.

What do you get when you are bored on sunday and a pan full of popcorn??

2009-08-02T16:23:00.000-07:00

So today has been one of those days that we have just lounged and hung out together on this rainy sunday. I must admit I actually love just spending time with my little family and watching Aiden entertain himself. So here are a few pictures from our lazy family day!!!

Not a lot, but it is something right?!

2009-07-01T07:40:00.000-07:00

Aiden Loves spagetti, and loves to rub it all over his face as well! Also here is one of his pictures from his birthday, for some reason it will only let me post this one. ( Also I made that cheesy hat for him:) He was a trooper!!

Idaho...Nebraska... Ohio..Illinois.. Dc... Finally NEW YORK!!

2009-05-04T17:56:00.000-07:00

Well Well where do I start.. So we made it to New york after 36 hours of driving, random throwing up for 15 hours, Liquid diapers, and 11 outfits later in 3 days a sigh of relief when I say... WE MADE IT!!!

On the morning of our departure we filled our car to the rim with clothes and anything else that we could think of that would fit in a small corolla took one last glance at our little house that we love and headed out East. Ten minutes into the adventure Aiden starting throwing up. He started throwing up in his blanket then wiping it on his face before we could wipe it off. ha ha but yes still smiling. We got him cleaned up, changed, and began the journey again. We drove threw Nebraska and it was so pretty, Iowa was just a lot of Winmills and Home of the classic "Field of Dreams." Chicago was awesome! I would love to spend at least a week there. Then off to Indiana, and then straight to DC. We spent a week in Washinghton DC and we loved it. In DC there is so much to do and everything is very clean. That following sunday we got up and drove to our home away from home to Long Island NY. It is very pretty here in Bellport, the city is 50 mins away, Hamptons are 20 mins away, and the local beach is only 5 mins away so we are very excited.

Here are some pictures from our crazy Adventure in some pretty random order so sorry cant figure out how to put them in order, so here you go... Also if trent is plugging his nose in any of the pictures it is because Aiden had the runs and they were so smelly!!! Enjoy and we miss you all!!!

This picture is for you Kristie!!

Look at that time!!! 31 hours and only stopped for 4 hours for changing Aiden and grabbing food... Trent was also excited for that fact that he made it to 105 mph!! (not safe) ha ha

This Thomas book was a life saver on the trip, Aiden loved looking at the pictures and listening to the music. He Loves it! Thanks Mckay!

Aiden was so smelly with the runs

Yep That is the shot 10 min away from our little home

What a Big Boy!!

2009-04-08T14:02:00.000-07:00

So Aiden is getting so so Big!! He is 10 months now, 8 teeth soon to be 10, and is almost walking. Aiden has a little walker that he pushes up and down the hall over and over all day long. It is so dang cute! He also is getting creative with different ways to get on and off the coach, I had no idea that these little people can get up on such big things. Ha ha it has been so fun to be home with my little guy. I am so grateful to have this little boy in my life and the opportunity to spend every waking hour with him. I love my family so much and couldnt be in a better place in my life!!! How could you not love this little boy...

Jackson Hole

2009-03-18T13:49:00.000-07:00

This past weekend was full of fun, and alot of tired moments. Aiden's pictures will sum it up... Trent, myself, Aiden, Ryan, and Kristie all went to Jackson Hole for the weekend for a volleyball tournament that Kristie and I were playing in.

The Tournament started out full force when we showed up friday night. We had our first game at 5:30pm and 7 games later we walked out the gym at 11:30pm, it was crazy but very fun. We held a firm spot in 2nd place after winning 6 and losing by 4 in our final game on friday night.

Saturday came early at 7:30 for an 8:30 game, we were definatly tired and it showed through out the day.

We won our first game, lost our second... Which put us into the losers bracket, and knew we had to come back strong. The Game started and about 7 points in, Kristie jumped to hit a ball and came down wrong on her leg and blew her knee out of place. She was carried off the court, and recently found out that she tore her ACL. We couldn't believe it...

We ended up winning the game and stayed on the court again for the next team to come on. We pushed so hard through the next couple of matches and ended up losing in the third game by 2. it was a great opportunity to play in a tournament again, but oh man are we trying to get our bodies caught back up.

Aiden was such a trooper again and was so good!!! Trent was also amazing and very supportive through the whole tournament. I love my family very much, and am so sad for Kristie.

Busy week in Hawaii

2009-02-27T14:54:00.000-08:00

Busy week in Hawaii

2009-02-27T14:26:00.000-08:00

So these last two weeks have been some very exciting weeks! First My little family went to hawaii with Ryan and Kristie Kemp and it couldn't have been better. The weather was perfect and The beaches were beautiful. While in Hawaii Aiden started CRAWLING!! that's right started crawling and now he is all over the place and I love it. Aiden has also hit many milestones while on our trip. Aiden loves to clap his hands, whenever there is music playing Aiden is rocking his body and clapping along with the beat. It is so cute! Aiden also is pulling himself up on things and moving around like crazy, he also saw sand for the first time in Hawaii and loved everything about the beach... He for sure is my kid! ha ha Aiden was so great on the plane as well as the whole vacation which actually went a few days longer than excpected due to the joys of buddy passes and the amount of people that are also taking advantage of a cheap flight. It was crazy...

He was a little trooper, everywhere we went he smiled at everyone and was flirting it up with any little girl that he saw, I think I am going to have my hands full when he gets older. It was so funny, and you would not believe the different comments I got about Aiden... First, one lady in the grocery store said that My little 8 month old boy looked like her 35 year old brother gap included!( Aiden has 6 teeth now and the front two have a HUGE gap between them. ha ha)

I also got the question, Is it a girl or a boy? Even when he is in all blue or dark green and dinosaur pjs. It was definiatly a fun and exciting trip, never a dull moment!!! Thanks Ryan and Kristie for the great company! And I have to add that I am so grateful for my wonderful husband, he was such a great help with Aiden and made the trip perfect! I love you Babe!!!

What a weekend...

2009-01-28T22:13:00.000-08:00

This last weekend My sister and I decided to venture out for the first time to minnesota with our little babies. We fly to salt lake 1st followed by a connecting flight to Minnesota to visit my mom for the weekend. I was so nervous to take my little fire ball Aiden on a plane, but he did great! When I got off the plane I had a small sigh of relief thinking that the worst was over, but oh was I wrong... The 2nd night that we were at my mom's house we were figuring out where would be the best place for two babies and one port-a-crib. So no brainer right, hailey's little girl can have the crib and Aiden can just sleep with me for the night, not remembering that Aiden loves to move around, and by the meaning of move around he never stops moving, he is such a wiggle worm even when he is sleeping. I moved closer and closer to the edge of the bed as he wiggled closer and closer to me. After about two hours of the moving and wiggling I finally found a comfortable spot and feel asleep fast, but not for long. Laying in a deep sleep I suddenly felt something very warm actually borderline hot. (my first thought was this is nice and warm) Then I realized that it is not good to have something hot coming from a sleeping baby right next to you. ha ha yep you guessed it, I was now uncomfortable and laying in my son's pee. He pee-ed right through his diaper and all over the bed. I woke Aiden up and changed his diaper and clothes then piled up blankets to cover the pee so that we could have somewhere to sleep.

Only a short hour later Aiden woke up and started screaming, so I decided to make him a bottle and try to soothe him. I held Aiden and attempted to make a bottle with him in my arms and was not being very sucessful, so I sat Aiden down on the dark floor by the kitchen and started making the bottle. I then picked Aiden up from the floor trying to figure out what he was holding and chewing on.... I got a little closer to his face and smelled dog poo!!! my mom's dog had pooed on the ground and yes my son ate it. Well he got a good taste of it till I freaked out and swipped my finger in his mouth and threw the poo. It was an awful night, but happy to say Aiden had a great time and he was amazing on his 1st plane ride.

Bundle of Joy!!!

2009-01-09T20:29:00.000-08:00

So yesterday it was semi-warm and I decided to take Aiden to the park, when we walked out the door I realized that it was a little colder than I thought. Hence the fact that Aiden is so bundled up, but needless to say he loved it. Here are the pictures

1st photos

2008-12-22T13:11:00.000-08:00

The other day I got Aiden's pictures done with the best photographer ever! Cindy Bigalow is an amazing phtographer and has such a way with kids, I was so lucky to have the opportunity to work with her to get some pictures of Aiden for our house. We love them!!!

Aiden's 1st Snow Day

2008-12-11T12:53:00.000-08:00

So The other day It finally snowed in Boise and Aiden was so excited! We put on his cute, but goofy hat and we were set to go! He was loving it!! He was also loving the cracker that is displayed on his face as well as hanging outside his mouth! I love this little boy!

Funniest Little Boy

2008-11-20T21:22:00.000-08:00

We just told Aiden that Utah State probably not going too make it to a BCS bowl... Needless to say he is not happy! ha ha

Ha ha Yesterday I dressed Aiden up in a Utah State shirt from a teddy bear that Trent had from his Utah State days. I was laughing so hard when my sister and I took the pictures so I thought that I would share them. This is for Trent... We love You so much!!!

The night of Bananas

2008-11-18T21:59:00.000-08:00

So the other day Aiden could not get enough of this banana. It was like he was in heaven with every bite. So of coarse I was continuing to feed him bite after bite, until I realized that he had eating 3/4 of the banana...

Later that night around 11 that I heard a noise coming from Aiden in his crib, so I walked in to check on him and he was covered in the banana that was so delicious just hours before. Here is a picture of the wonderful treat that made his tummy upset. (sad) ha ha but he was a trooper, we got him all cleaned up and he seemed to be doing alot better.

As for the banana, don't think that we will be going that route anytime soon... As you can see from the look on his face he is grossed out with even the sight of bananas. I tested by waving a banana in front of him. Ha ha He is so dang cute!!! We love our little boy!

Random fun photos

2008-11-08T17:11:00.000-08:00

Our First Family Pictures!!

2008-10-26T15:10:00.000-07:00

On saturday afternoon we finally got a few family pictures taken down by the river here in Boise, Id. My good friend and sister in law Kristie took on the challenge of trying to make Aiden laugh with a puppet lion head that my husband bought for Aiden, and balancing the perfect shot. Well what can I say she did a great job and I think that we might have finally captured a family photo. ha ha

2008-10-21T20:57:00.000-07:00

all about aiden

2008-10-21T20:02:00.000-07:00

So I was not planning on being a blogger, but here I am! ha ha well well where to start...

This last year has been so fun and exciting! Our little baby boy for born on May 28th 2008 and not a moment to soon. Aiden came out screaming and has continued to keep us on our toes day in and day out. He is quite the fireball! When thinking about what to name our beautiful little boy, my husband and I thought that Aiden would be a great name and that was the end of the conversation, little did I know that the meaning of Aiden is "Little Fire"(note to self, look up meaning of name before choosing it! ha ha )

It is weird how names fit people and this name was right on the money! Aiden is now 4 1/2 months and is getting so big. At his 4 month appt. he weighted 15 lbs and was 26 in. long.

He is smiling like crazy, giggling all the time, sitting up almost by himself, and has two teeth all the way through the gums. Can I say Ouch!

Aiden has been such a blessing in our lives, every morning I look at him and just feel so blessed and grateful for the opportunity to be a mom and wife.

My husband Trent is also the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. Trent has been very busy these last few months, he recently started the masters program at Boise State. Trent is also keeping busy with his job as the financial advisor/investor for state farm and is focusing on being an agent hopefully in the near future.

As for myself I have been trying to keep busy with rearranging my house and entertain a constant moving baby. My house has been flipped upside down, since I have had more time at the house. Ha ha my husband comes home everyday and something new is in the room or replaced by something else. I also have attemped cooking, and yes attemped! I have burnt alsmost everything. If it is not burnt it is not cooked! ha ha Trent has gotten very use to scrapping everything with a knife, or kindly telling me that it is great as he chases every bit down with like a gallon of water. He is a great husband!!!

2008-10-19T21:52:00.000-07:00

Here is Aiden on friday loving the bath, but not so much the flash on the camera

Never hold a baby over your head, with a full belly, making them laugh! ha ha ha

My wonderful husband and my beautiful little boy! think that they look alike??!!

Sunday Afternoon

2008-10-19T18:14:00.000-07:00

So today was one of those days that just make you so grateful for what you have. Today I took pictures of my husband and little boy Aiden while they were laughing and playing on the living room floor. They are so cute!!

Trent and Aiden Sunday afternoon

Aiden laying in my living room laughing, and concentrating as he is filling up his diaper! ha ha got to love kids!
