Christmas 2008!

We spent Christmas in Michigan with Daddy's family. We were so glad to spend time with everybody!
We were lucky to wake up Christmas morning to a white Christmas. We ran outside for a picture while it was snowing.

Here Aidan is being pulled on a sled by his grandpa. Aidan liked the snow!

This is a picture of Aidan with all his Michigan cousins. He wasn't very happy in this picture, but we were glad to catch them all awake at the same time.

This is Aidan with his grandma and his cousin Nick.

We love this picture of little Aidan exploring in the snow. What a cutie!!

Visiting Santa

Aidan went to visit Santa Claus last week. Clearly he wasn't too happy about sitting on his lap. What a priceless picture!!

Aidan's Announcement

Aidan has an announcement to make. He is a Big Brother to Be! His mommy's baby is due July 10th, 2009!!

Aidan's 1st Birthday Party

The Little Birthday boy about to dig in to his cake.

Well, he enjoyed eating it with a spoon. Guess we need to let him used to getting his hands dirty :)

Cousins Hayley and Emma enjoying lunch.

Aidan opening his riding dump truck from Grandma and Grandpa. He had a fun day!!

Family Fun

After Aidan's Birthday party, we all hung out for awhile. Of course the USC UCLA game was on. Here are the boys with Aunt Courtney.. all decked out in their USC gear.

A group shot of all of us.

Aidan's 1st Birthday!!!

We can't believe our little Aidan is a year old! We started celebrating a little early. Last night Aidan got his first cupcake. Here he is staring at his singing candle. He wasn't too sure at first. Once we gave him a spoon, he started digging into it. By the end, he was really enjoying himself. This was good practice for his birthday party next weekend!! This is Aidan today with a birthday sundae from Ruby's. He was out shopping with the girls and we decided to give him a little treat at lunch!
Aidan has been walking about 2 weeks now. He is so cute! We finally got a video of him walking loaded....

First Thanksgiving!

Aidan was very excited to share his first Thanksgiving with his family.

The play kitchen that Grandma and Grandpa bought for their house was a huge hit!!

Here is the kids table.

Everyone enjoying a great Thanksgiving feast (except Kristi taking the picture and Courtney who was in Hawaii...she was missed!!)

After dinner we all took a wagon ride over to the park. I believe that was the highlight of the evening for all the kids!

Lots of Fun!

Aidan loves swinging at the park. It won't be long and he'll be running around the park, going on the slides, etc!

At Disneyland with great-grandma Harder....

Aidan loves to ride the carosel!

Aidan's new favorite thing to do is play in the refridgerator...

And climb in it of course...

Happy Halloween!

Here is Aidan on Halloween morning. What a face! I think this is his way of saying "It's too early in the morning for pictures."

Aidan and Grandma at his cousin's Halloween Parade at school.

Aidan posing with his very first pumpkin that Daddy carved for him.

Group photo of all the cousins.

Out Trick or Treating....although I think he's much more interested in the keys he's holding than candy :)

11 Months Old

We can't believe that our little Aidan is almost a year old. He is 11 months old today. He is such a happy, energetic and loving baby. His little face constantly brightens our day and he never fails to make us smile.

Pumpkin Patch!!

Yesterday we took Aidan to the Pumpkin Patch for the first time. Here he is with his cousin Aubrey.

Here is a cousin picture. As you can see the two little ones weren't very happy about posing for the picture :) A classic photo!

Aidan playing with his first pumpkin.

Grandma and Grandpa posing with their 5 grandchildren :)

What a neat pumpkin patch! I'm sure we will be going back in the next week or so.

More of Aidan...

Aidan loves to ride around the neighborhood in his speed racer car.

He practices his walking skills daily by pushing this toy around the house...he will be walking soon!

Aidan and Mommy on her 30th Birthday!

Here's our tired little boy! He rarely sits still so he crashes good at bedtime. What a cutie :)

New Pictures

Aidan took his 10 month old pictures yesterday. He did so good! He is such a happy, good natured baby. He was lucky to have Mom and Dad join him in one as well!

10 Months Old!!!

Aidan was 10 months old yesterday. We can't believe how fast he's growing. In this picture he is showing off his two bottom teeth (if you look closely) that finally broke through last week. The video is of our little monkey crawling. He is quite fast!
