The Big Bash....

Poor little Man... Aiden's 2nd birthday was rained-out. The storms rolled in around 10:30 Saturday morning and still haven't left! God had it all under control though. Because of the rain not many could come which was a blessing-in-disguise as we invited those who did show up over to the house! YIKES! I would have freaked if everyone had shown up. We had a nice time though and thankfully Aiden was really too young to understand that he wasn't going to swim!

Aunt Karen ROCKS!

We spent our morning at "Aunt Karens" swimming with some friends. Aiden is still pretty unsure of the water - you know that bothers his fishy-mama!! Mike has taught him how to jump in from the side, so that's all he wanted to do - ugh! I got tired of lifting his two-ton-soaking-wet-self out of the pool! Oh well, at least he had fun. I think all the kiddo did - even Maddie! Well, I guess she was having fun - she pretty much slept the entire time :)

(Thanks Aunt Karen - we had a BLAST!)

The Brittish are Coming! The Brittish are Coming!

Our next door neighbor is from England and has family visiting for a bit. They came over yesterday and asked if Aiden would like to swim in their pool with their grandkids. Of course we jumped on that idea! Even Miss Madeline got in for a bit(didn't last long, she was more interested in eating!) We had a wonderful time and were very honored that the White's allowed us to join in their family fun!!

Check out that Air!!











Nothing like Ice Cream to cool off after a long day in the pool!








Swimming is exhausting!

Hairbows & Rock Star Photographers

Wow, Madeline is already six weeks old - it's amazing how much she's changing! Little Lady is very alert now - and loves to follow Mike and I's voices! She's really such an easy baby - though I think she eats too much - but maybe that 's because I'm always feeding her. Mike calls her his little leach :) Aiden is still a super big brother though we're really having to watch him now - he likes to practice his WWF moves on sister - YIKES! I love watching my kiddos grow and change but it makes me sad to think about how fast time is passing.... I try really hard to enjoy every moment - the good and the bad!

Independence Day at Palm Beach

We didn't have big plans for the 4th so we took the kiddos and met up with some friends at Palm Beach Moody Gardens in Galveston. It started out as a beautiful day even though Aiden took a bit to get used to the water - he was in his typical toddler fussy mood! Once Mike took him to the sprinkler part of the park he went crazy! Even Miss Madeline got into the water for the 1st time. (rant - why do they not make swim diapers smaller than 16 lbs and swim suits smaller than 12 months?!?) Aiden really loved the slides! We were only there 2 short hours before huge rain clouds rolled in and forced us to go home - we didn't even get a replacement pass! Oh well, it was fun for a little bit.
