3 Days - 6 months - 2 Years

Miles is now 3 days old and very good to sit for the camera.









Next we have Beckam at 6 months old. He is sitting up and starting to find things very funny. He won't laugh for just anything but if you can get him going it is HILARIOUS!








2 Years and 2 months. He was very anti-picture today so this is all I really got!

AC Installation

Last week Steve came over to help Aaron with the AC installation. We were given this AC unit by a family that was moving away sometime near Christmas and never realized just how grateful I would be until the hot weather hit. We don't use it a lot but there are days when I swear we would die without it. It's perfect for taking the edge off those hot Portland days.

AJ was just about to get into bed when Steve showed up to give Aaron a hand. FORGET BED TIME! AJ was determined to get in there and show the boys how it was done. As soon as they pulled out their tools AJ went right to his room to get his as well. It was pretty cute to watch him mimic the boys as the put in the new AC.

Thanks Poy, Steve, and of course AJ! It has already been such a life saver.

Take me out to the Ball Game.

About 2 months ago Aaron joined a men's softball league. He usually plays Tuesday nights around 8:00 which means we never get to go but as luck had it to nights game was at 6:15.

We grabbed a quick dinner and made our way out to the diamonds (they are about 20 minutes from home which is so annoying to me) to meet up with the rest of the team. AJ was so excited he couldn't stop talking about it the whole way there. Unfortunately he was under the impression that he was going to be playing WITH Dad, and immediately broke into tears when we went to the bleachers and Aaron took to the Field.

He recovered fairly quickly and found a way to make baseball work one an individual level, lol! He was so funny running and playing, then he would stop and yell some encouraging words to Aaron before chasing down his own ball.

It was nice to get out of the house for a while, plus we haven't watched Aaron play any sports in a long time, which I actually enjoy. I can't believe that I am saying this but I really missed hockey this year. I only went to watch a few times each season but I loved hearing about the games and how happy it made him to play.

I only have the one lends for my camera so I couldn't get any great close ups or anything but here are some shots from out night out.


Here's our little coach gathering the team in and taking Dad aside to give him a few pointers.

When Poy wasn't up to bat he played on the side lines with Age, who is great at throwing the ball and.... still a little nervous about catching. I think he would just rather case it down.


As always I couldn't stop taking pictures of my little AJ. He is just to cute and I am sure you have all noticed this is my new favorite short on him. He played so hard and was having so much fun he couldn't even stop to let me straighten his hat! Oh well it's might be even cuter like that!



I also have yet to mention AJ's newest talent. He has always been a bit of a clean freak and his nose is no exception. He always asks for a tissue when he's done but I am just waiting for the day I see that finger go into his mouth, YUCK!

Not for the sweet in tooth!

WARNING: IF YOU HAVE A SWEET TOOTH THIS MAY BRING ON MAJOR CRAVINGS PLEASE BE ADVISED!

Saturday night a girl in our ward, Margo, had us all over for a girls night out. Now let me make this perfectly clear, Margo LOVES to host parties and ALWAYS goes way over the top, and this GNO was no exception.

About 3 weeks ago we received our "Dessert Night" invites, complete with a pump up CD full of 80 classics.(I'm to sexy, etc.) Not only did she send out about 20 invites she encouraged everyone to bring their girlfriends and a favorite dessert.

IT WAS CRAZY! I kept having to go back and take pictures of the new desserts as they rolled in. The house was decorated with candles and all kinds of cute stuff, including some awesome Canadian kick backs, since Margo is a fellow Canadian! We had a great time and I'm pretty sure my sugar high is just starting to wear off now, lol. Thanks Margo.

She had these cute little tags ne all the glasses so you would Remeber which one was yours. It was the best idea and so fun to pick out our tag, mine was "BIG GIRL" *sad, lol*

The FOOD. This was at the start of the night before everyone had put their stuff out, I wish I had taken another picture at the end!








The Girls. I didn't keep my camera out to long and only now realized how few pictures I took of the actual party go-ers. Opps, something to work on next time I guess.
I am due in three week's, Joy (Black Shirt) went into Labor after the party, and Daya has 4 weeks left but her babies like to come early. We are raceing to the finish line, but it feel's like we are going slower than Turtles!
