Bath time

Michael Aiden and I got sealed together on May 17 of this year. It was such a beautiful experience. I loved having the baby in the temple.

The fruits of our labors

Here are some of the veggies we have gotten from our garden. Those things in the front are cucumbers then the yellow things are crookneck squash and in the back are bell peppers and zucchini and then of course there is a huge bowl of Roma tomatoes. We made those into salsa already. Ya we have about a gallon of salsa.

Aidens first cereal

mmm this is good!!!
Haha I got it!
I think I need a bath

Naked Baby

These are my wannabe professional pictures of Aiden I took them my self obviously. Mike said I could take him to a studio if I want to but I'm trying to save money and do some artsy stuff while I'm at it.

Mikey

Mike loves to cook he can pick out some REALLY RANDOM leftovers from the fridge and make an awesome burrito. I don't know how he does it. I can spend my day trying to think of something to make for dinner without going to the store and never do it. Then Mike comes home and 20 min later wallah theirs a freaking good meal made from random stuff from the fridge.

Mike calls me every day from work on ALL his breaks. I can always count on getting a call from him telling me that he loves me at least 3 times a day. AND then he calls and talks to me on his way home too. What a sweetie!

Mike doesn't like my jokes! He never laughs when I'm trying to get him to laugh, BUT he ALWAYS laughs when I get mad at him for NOT laughing! He really has a twisted sense of humor.

Mike doesn't stink! He can work all day out in the heat working on his car and never stink! He smells more like grease than BO. When I was pregnant I would smell so bad sitting inside and it would be so irritating when Mike would come in after working outside and smell like a freaking rose. He says it is his sweet personality so what is he saying about me?

Aiden grabbing his feet

Have I said I love it when babies grab their feet?

Rolling over is so hard

Rolling over and not very happy about it

Aiden playing with our freind Lulu

Aiden has started putting his legs up in the air and grabbing his feet it is so adorable!

Mike and Aiden golfing

Here is Mike goofy golfing with the baby at Golfland. Pretty funny!

Just Chillin'

Here is Aiden doing what he does best: lounging!

Headless Aiden

Aiden fell asleep in the carrier and with the hat on I thought he looked like he had no head. I never really go anywhere or do anything without Aiden he's like my sidekick. It's hard to find ways to get things done when your arms are full of baby so the carrier is a useful thing to have around.

Hold your head up, Keep your head up

Aiden holds his head up so well now. Even though he only likes it for about 1 minute before he gets angry about being on his stomach.

Aiden "Talking"

This is Aiden "talking" as we like to call it. I wonder if he'll be good with words since he seems to be developing so quikly that area. I hope he'll be a famous writer or something.

Aidens Blessing

This is some if the Fam on the day of Aidens blessing. I was affraid he would be too big for his outfit but it was alright he was too long for it but it still fit. I wanted him to look like he was wearing a tux. Too bad I couldn't find a tie.

Garden '08

Mike did most of the work planting the garden while I took pictures and videotaped him. We planted bell peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and squash.

If you look closely Mike is wearing his nice clothes that are meant for his office job. I guess maybe he's trying to tell me he wants new clothes or something. More likely he's just being a silly boy.

Best Buddies

Aiden With his best Buddy Tanner!
Tanner is my cousin. At first he was afraid to even hold Aiden, now as you can see they've become pretty close. We went to Mikes family cabin this weekend and took Tanner with us. He is such a good kid he helped with the dishes and everything.

Aidens First Smiles

Here it comes












wait for it.....












There it is!

My life as obliviously all about the baby. Ya I'm one of those people. It's good though now that he is in our lives he is the most important thing.

Cute pictures of Aiden

This was a surreal moment, I didn't know what to think. I was just glad it was over!









After 14 hours of labor and 5 hours of pushing Aiden finally arrived! Once the doctor showed up it only took 15 minutes! I really wish the doctor would have arrived sooner. I'm not sure what I will do for my next birth but I can tell you now I'm not doing it that way again. Doctors and nurses defiantly take advantage of first time mothers because most don't have your best interest in mind. My advise is to stand up for yourself girls tell them what you need and don't let them brush you off!

Happy Aiden

He looks like such a big boy


Aiden is smiling so much and even making noises like he is trying to talk. Mike and I will sit for hours everyday talking to him.

New baby Aiden

Here's the new baby Aiden he is so big already it's weird to think how small he was when I took these pictures.


























The first weeks I was still learning to love the new baby. I know for some people it comes instantly, but I was in a lot of pain. And I was a little upset my life had bean completely taken over by this little thing. It's a hard transition my life used to be about Mike and I and then all of a sudden it was completely about the baby. Luckily I had Mike to tag team with if it wasn't for him I don't know if we'd have made it. Aiden wore us both out, but we got through it.
