My babies...

We splurged and bought the kids some Easter outfits. They wanted to wear them the next day. We said NO because they were for Easter. I was proud of myself for being strong and not giving in to the whining. Then someone informed me that Easter is over conference weekend. So...they got to wear them the next Sunday! I think they look so cute and so grown up! (Talia was upset because we wanted to take her paper away and she wasn't done writing her letters.)
We let her finish her "homework" and then she was perfectly happy to smile for a picture! I can't even imagine what she is going to be like as a teenager!

Happy birthday to my Aidan...

Happy birthday to the most wonderful three year old EVER!!! Who wouldn't love a face like that?? Aidan has the most contagious laugh and he has such an excitement for life. He loves to play and is ALL boy! There are never enough cars or swords or dinosaurs! He makes me laugh every day which is good because he also makes me really mad every day! I just can't imagine what our life would be like without him in it. I am so glad that Heavenly Father chose to send Aidan to our family even if it was a bit sooner than we had planned! I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. Happy birthday my sweet boy! I love you so very much!

Asher and the cake...

Asher loved Aidan's birthday cake...well at least what he stole off of everyone's plate. He is growing up so fast! It is fun watching him try and figure out how to eat like a big kid! He makes me laugh every day!

Aidan's presents...

Here are the videos of Aidan opening his presents. These are especially for Grandma and Grandpa Conrad! We wish the computer would have worked but hopefully this is a good substitute! Aidan had a great day and we are so thankful for EVERYONE that made his day so special!

Aidan's birthday song...

Last year on his birthday Aidan was scared of the "fire" on his cake. This year it was a whole different story! I just love this kid...he was full of genuine excitement over everything that surrounded his special day!

The best birthday gift...

Aidan loves fish...I mean LOVES fish! Whenever we go to Walmart he requests a visit to the fish tanks rather than the toys! Nate and I have been planning to get him some goldfish for his birthday and were so excited to finally be able to do it! We set the tank up the night before while he was asleep and he was so excited. He kept saying he would be right back...he just wanted to go watch his water! It was PRICELESS!!
We took him to the pet store and Walmart and let him pick out his own fish. He got five fish and one snail. They are named...Aidan, Talia, Noah, Asher, Grandma, and Grandpa (the snail). This is Aidan looking at his fish "Aidan".
Here is the happiest birthday boy EVER!!
I love this picture! He stood like that for quite a while watching Daddy get the fish into the tank. I can't even tell you much he loves his fish. He gets up from his meals at least two or three times just to check and see if they are okay! It has been so much fun and we all are loving our newest family members!

An oldie but a goodie...

Here is my favorite video from our Christmas this year. Aidan and the Wii...it just doesn't get much better! (Sorry it took me so long to get this posted Grandpa!)

Pant problems...

(Aidan knows pants should go up by his belly button...he just isn't sure what those other buttons are!)

We have problems with pants in our house. Some don't stay up and some come up too far!
