Grandpa Award!!!

This picture was taken today, while we were up at my parents house working on our truck. Kyler loves going to grandpa's house. All day, when I would ask what he was up to he would tell me he was working. he'd stand along side my dad and watch in amazement at whatever he was doing. Shortly after, I see this:I LOVE watching my dad with all the grandkids! He gets right down there with them all and plays like he's one of them! I don't know how well you can see this picture, but it is Kyler & my dad on bikes (dad is on a big wheeler) getting ready to ride down the big hill!Kyler is a little nervous!! He tipped over at the end, but didn't cry, he didn't want to ride down the big hill again, either.LOL!!! Right after I took this he looked up at me and said "no pictures please" TOO LATE!!! wahahahaha. He is the best!!! All the kids love him!! He has to be the worlds best grandpa! Thanks Dad for being AMAZING! I think we're pretty lucky to have you in our family! LOVE YA!

Aiden LOVING the water! He floated around in the middle of the dock for quite awhile!!
Granite Hot springs! Between Alpine and Jackson Hole, there is this hotsprings outside about 10 miles off the highway. It was gorgeous. Overcast day, slightly sprinkling. We were going to float the hoback, but it was cold and raining. After two hours in this paradise it stopped raining and we floated the river even though it was slightly freezing :)

I love pictures of my kids sleeping! The funny positions they get themselves into, they look so cute, they are quiet, they are not getting into things, and they are being good! lol!

Here is Aiden, he moves all over the place while sleeping!!

Kyler has all of a sudden gotten a fascination with sleeping on the wrong side of his bed?? Crazy kid! He LOVES his puppy pillow pet from Grandma Boyd & his neenet (blanket) from Grandma Sue!!

A look back at the last year & Aiden's Birthday party!

I can't believe that Aiden is a year old! It is crazy to think about! He has been such a joy to have him in our little family! I remember thinking he was going to be so small, since he was so much smaller than Kyler. But at about 9 months old... I changed my mind. He's a chunk!

Things he can do:

• Walk
• Crawl
• say mama, baba, dada (he prefers dada or baba)
• feed himself
• go up and down the stairs by himself
• Clap
• Wave (when he wants to)

Things he loves:

• He is very ticklish

• LOVES THE WATER!
• Loves to swing!

Everything Aiden:

• has one tooth (it finally cut last week! I swear he's been teething for 6 months!)

• Needs his sleep!! He sleeps ALOT.... 2 - 2 hour naps (sometimes 3). Goes to sleep around 7 and wakes up around 8.

• Loves to eat! Eats everything...(even steak!) even though he still only has one tooth... that he got last week!

Blowing out the candle in his french toast. He was more patient than Kyler was on his birthday, but he got annoyed with not being allowed to touch or eat his food, until the candle was blown out... which Kyler helped out with. After Aiden was done.... he said, "Mom, my turn!"Some pictures from his birthday party:

Opening presentsMy favorite part!! Cake & Ice cream! My amazing sister has made all of my kids' cakes & they are always so cute!!! This year we did a puppy cake for Aiden. Isn't it cute??
He was a little too quick for me and a finger went right into the cake. :)
He had his very own cake.... the doggie bone. SO CREATIVE isn't she?? I am so lucky to have such great sisters!Aiden completely devouring the cake... well except the handfuls he was chucking on the floor! He loved it though! Happy 1st Birthday BABY!
