Hotwheels....

Hotwheels, hotwheels, hotwheels everywhere! It seems everywhere I look there is a silly little car. I went in the cupboard the other day and found one. It's becoming a hazard to walk around the house!

 
 
 
 

Another trip to the zoo

Labor day was spent at the zoo. Jessica, Tony, the boys, dad, Gary's brother Matt and his girlfriend Lauren and the three of us had a wonderful time at the zoo.



If anyone can identify this flower I'd be soooo happy. It even stumped my dad...






Gary even got to feed the rhinos...


There was actually a polar bear swimming when we went through the underwater tunnel. It was awesome watching him swim around.

Who does Aiden look like?

Since Aiden was born I have always thought that he looked more like Gary. I think the biggest resemblance is in their eyes. When people have told me that Aiden looks like me I thought they were crazy. I tried many pictures and each time this was the outcome.

Polka Dots??

The other day Aiden went running by and I caught a look at his feet. I had to look twice because I thought they were dirty. Upon further inspection I noticed his feet are polka dotted. Any guesses why?

Sorry for the blurry photos...it's hard to keep a toddler still.

Happy Birthday Gary

Gary is the big 32 today. We went to dinner last night with the McFarlands and then back to Gary's parents for cake. So what's the big guy doing today on his actual birthday? He took the day off of work and went to the casino with his parents. Lets hope he wins big!

Gary's Birthday Cake


Gary's favorite cake is Boston Cream Pie. His Mommy makes it every year but I volunteered this year. Wow, what a pain it is to make, now I know why his moms asks me to do it every year.

The three of us...

The Armada Fair

For as long as I can remember we've been going to the Armada Fair. It's become somewhat of a tradition for all of us to go the night of the figure 8 race. On Thursday night mom,dad, Jessica, David, Kyle, Aiden and I headed out to the fair. Grandpa bought the boys some tickets to ride a few rides.

For some reason not all of my pictures posted so I'm updated to include them all

Aiden, David and Kyle riding the trucks and train. I thought Aiden would cry when I put him on the ride and want to get off. Not so, he cried when it was time to get off the rides.







Grandma and Aunt Jessica played some carnival games...

Here we go...

More Cookies

Just thought I would share the cookies I made for a Bridal Shower.


Thank You Meghan for the opportunity to make the cookies for Melissa's shower! I'm so glad she liked them.







I had some extra dough and icing and made these little "hotties" that Gary took to work to share with the guys...

What A Mess!!

Tonight I had a fondant/gum paste class at Michael's. I was only going to be gone a few hours, well class ended early and I came home to find this. Apparently Aiden played with just about every toy he owns. Even though it was such a mess I'm glad he had a great night with Daddy!

Grandma & Grandpa's Garden

Aiden loves to pick veggies in the garden with Grandma and Grandpa. He carries his little basket out there and fills it up.

Grandpa found him a tomato to put in his basket....


Just too cute...

Trains

Aiden's new love has been trains. Gary has been building him a train table with three different tracks, bridges, trees and people. The table was so big I had to rearrange the living room just to fit it in there. Right now we are working on an elevated track, I'll post pictures when it's finished.
