Where did the summer go??

It really does seem like summer just started, and yet I look at the calander and can't believe that it is the middle of August and school starts tomorrow for the local elementary, middle school, and high schools. That just blows my mind. I feel like a lot of my summer was wasted on such trivial b.s. and now almost 2 months have passed and what have I done? Nothing of importance...nothing that is worth noting at least. Aedan is on a waiting list for pre-school, so that is one exciting thing in our lives. He so badly wants to "go to school" and meet other kids. My baby sure is growing up. He is to the point where staying home with mom isn't nearly as fun as going to pre-school and meeting kids his age. I really do hope he gets in, he will do so well there! As for Rob and myself, we are both going to be in school this year too. Rob is almost done with his degree, and I will be starting my long 4 year trek to get a degree too. It sure seems as though that is way overdue, and I just hope I don't disappoint anyone along the way.

The Big 24!!!!

I cannot believe I just turned 24! It just blows my mind, I seriously feel like I turned 18, not 6 years ago! Wow.....time sure goes by fast. Thanks to everyone who said/sent Happy Birthday Wishes to me, I appreciate it! Hope everyone has a great 4th of July. I will probably update again after we get back from Willow Lake for the 4th. See you then!

Oh how they grow...

I thought it would be a fun idea to make a list of all the things the boys are into and doing now! What a mom thing to do...I know, haha!

Aedan: He loves to count things, he counts in both english and spanish. He loves spongebob and the movie cars. He absolutely loves his little brother and plays with him all the time. His favorite toys are his aquadoodle, coloring books, his police uniform to dress up in, and his tools that Jeff Styles gave him. His favorite outdoor activities are going to the splash park, the McKennan wading pool, the park, playing with squirt guns with our neighbors little kids, and just running around in general. The biggest achievement yet has got to be that he is 100% potty trained!!! He LOVES his big boy underwear! Also he is starting pre-school in the fall! My baby is growing up!

Trenton: He has 4 teeth now! Loves to stick everything in his mouth!! UGH!! He says mom, mama, dada, shakes his head no and yes, and tries to say milk. He loves to smile and laugh. He has the same twinkle in his eye when he smiles that my dad (Terry) had. He just started walking last week, and waddles his little butt everywhere now. He ADORES Aedan, and is always trying to climb on him, play with him, and looks for his approval when he does anything. They share so well together. He loves his blankey (this little teddy bear blanket that used to be Aedans...it's so gross now but I don't DARE get rid of it). He now uses the sippy cup only, thank goodness that bottle is gone! Still working on having him give up his pacifier, not going so well at all.


I do believe that I have mentioned everything noteworthy for now! Keep checking back for updates though! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Picture post!

I wanted to post a few pictures from the beginning of summer 08'. Hope you enjoy! The boys are getting so big!!

Just the beginning.
