Budding Photographer

Ayden loves to take pictures with the camera. He walks around taking pictures of us, himself, and random objects. He was becoming a great little photographer, until he dropped the camera. Now we are getting images like this:
Needless to say, his photography career came to an abrupt halt.

3 Musketeers

These three are little pals and they crack me up! Every time they get together at our house-out comes Ayden's super hero gear. There are 3 parts to the darling costume (that my darling sister-in-law made) so they each get one part, then they rotate them. They then ask for the "Buzz song" which is the music at the beginning of Toy Story 2 where Buzz is flying through space (I purchased it on iTunes because it was a frequent request from Ayden for me to "sing." It is difficult to "sing" instrumental "songs.") They run around the house like super heroes. These kids are quite cute together.

Dear Summer,

now that you have seemed to finally arrive, you make my heart happy! my niece elliemy nephew zack

My Little Cowboy

I always told my Uncle Val from Fillmore that I wanted him to hook me up with a cowboy to marry. Well those of you who know Kipp, know that I didn't get my cowboy. Maybe I can raise one for a lucky girl to marry!

These pictures were taken on two different occasions (although he is wearing the same outfit), one at Thanksgiving farm, and the other at my niece's darling birthday party. Ayden loved every second of riding. He kept shouting, "Yee-haw Bullseye!"

Robot Dance

I have been meaning to post this, but hesitated because I hate the sound of my voice on video. Ayden loves to dance with me in the kitchen, so one afternoon I decided that I would try to get him to do specific moves instead of just running around. The result is the "Robot Dance." He loves it and always asks to do it. I realize I probably could have chosen a better song for a toddler to dance to than "Your Love is My Drug" oh well!

Poser

I promise he came up with this one all on his own. Kipp wasn't too excited about it. Pretty sure he told me not to put this picture on the blog.

Around Here

I sure do love all my boys! We had a great Mother's Day this last weekend thanks to the fam!

Here are a few things that we have been up to recently.

One of my favorite things to do is cuddle in my bed with my boys. On this day they were hanging out in their diapers. I especially love this one of Colby because it shows off his moobs and rolls.Another one of my favorites-got to show off his fat thighs. Kipp gives me a really hard time for slapping baby legs on my boy-but I can't resist!Colby is just starting to sit up. He occasionally takes a fall to the side or ends up looking like he is doing baby yoga-and this boy is not flexible! Also, drool, drool, and more drool! His shirts are always sopping wet!Do not be deceived by this smile. This little guy still hates time on his tummy. Not rolling over yet at almost 7 months. I blame it on his chub.
Now for this little man. He is cracking me up with the things that he is saying these days! If only I could write out the words that he says so you could see his pronunciation of some words. And the noise he makes for a horse-he is nuts! One of the cutest things to me is that he calls strawberries strawbabies (an easy one to show you). Here he is playing around in the bumbo chair.
This is the look he gives me every morning when I do his hair. I always ask him to look at my nose so I can see what I am doing and he says "eww" and makes this face. I know I don't look that great in the morning, but come on! Do I have boogers? What's the dealAnd the greatest thing recently-we got a fence! This means that I can now let Ayden run around in the backyard without worrying that he is going to run up into the front yard. That is the best part for me. The best part for Ayden-watching the "digger truck" for a good part of the afternoon from the window. Hello? I don't think anything has ever kept his attention that long! I think that is what I will ask for for my next mother's day! That day, it made being a mom really easy!
