Man Alive he's 5!!

Aidan's 5th Birthday Party was celebrated on Saturday August 31, 2013

It was a simple gathering with Grandma and Grandpa Morales and Aunt Bel...and Kevin.
Aunt Bel brought Kevin, the giant Minion from the movie Despicable Me.


Aidan loves ice cream more than cake and he likes s'mores so we got him a Dairy Queen S'mores blizzard cake. 



Presents!

He's been asking for Captain Hook's ship the Jolly Roger.

I love the way he says Jolly Roger. :)

Knights to go with his Imaginext castle. He was so excited.

Angry Birds Star Wars game! It's one he gets too. So fun.

New Hot Wheels. Tyler enjoyed it as well!

The girls enjoy the new toys too.

No one was sure they wanted to beat the minion with a stick to get the candy and prizes out. So Grandpa to the rescue for Kevin! He dumped the candy out instead.

It's almost as fun as beating a Piñata right?!
The plan is to use it for Olivia's birthday party. There will be more kids to beat it then. Hehe


Tuesday September 3rd was his birthday. It was a low key day but I wanted to let him do something fun so I took him to the Splash park to run around and enjoy life.

He didn't like to get too close to the water though. A few sprinkles on his back and he was happy.

Then his birthday dinner. Waffles with strawberries and whip cream. 

Aidan, there's so much sweetness in you. Your hugs are adorable. You have such a desire to do what's good. You're obedient and are quick to clean up when asked and have the desire to help. Your demeanor is one of kindness and tenderness. You have a sensitive spirit and hate to be in trouble. I hate when you are in trouble as well.

 You love music! I enjoy listening to you sing and dance. When there's a new found song you like to listen to you ask Dad to put it on "your" iPod. One of your most favorite things is playing video games. So much so that the remotes have been locked in a file cabinet to keep you from getting up at 3 a.m. to play. We both get more sleep this way. ;) Still, you're very bright and have a desire to learn anything electronic. Doing ABC and number games on a computer keep you learning in more ways than one. I have no doubt you'll know more about electronics than me some day. You will be teaching me for sure. 

Speaking of teaching, you teach me all the time. Just watching you pull out all your handouts from your primary class and telling me what each one is about. You teach kindness and forgiveness everyday just among your siblings. 

Aidan you are funny! You like to be silly and make me laugh. You are a wonderful story teller. You love books. You ask for books every night. You are a great reminder for Family Home Evening. You enjoy FHE and want to have it more than just Monday evenings. You enjoy scripture reading as well. Aidan, you are such a great example to me. I pray you will always have these qualities about you. That your testimony in the gospel and all that's good will always be strong. I pray you'll always have the desire to do what is right. 

I love the relationship we have and hope it only gets better as you get older. Aidan I love you! 
Happy Birthday.

    What a sweetheart! He looks so grown up... but I guess I say the same thing about Maybrie, so it makes sense he's growing too! That minion is awesome, I don't think we could've broken it either. Thomas loves Despicable Me right now, especially the minions... He points as the screen laughing and says "That funny!" over and over. Kids are great! Miss you guys!

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab

SURPISE!!!!

Image
Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
