Happy Birthday Aidan!

Aidan turned 4 years old today.  I can't believe it.  He is growing up so fast.  He is  a very sweet and tender kid.  He always has lots of hugs and kisses for me.  He can't stand for anyone to be upset with him. The mere thought brings him to tears.  He is a great big brother too!

Here are a few of his favorite things:

Lightning McQueen

Trains

Watching Movies

Going to McDonalds

Superheroes

Digging in the Sandbox

Playing with his Friends

Going to Grandparents

Thanksgiving

     There is so much I am thankful for.  I could really make this post annoyingly long but, I will try to keep it as short as possible.  I am grateful for my amazing husband. He makes me happy everyday in just about every way.  He is a terrific father and so diligently provides for our family.  He is such a great example to me in so many areas. He makes me want to be a better person.  

     I am grateful for my kids.  Aidan tries so hard to be good and make me happy. Ember loves to make us laugh and Eden is such a sweet patient little thing.  I love them all to pieces.

I am grateful for great parents and in-laws.  I am so lucky to really truly love them all.  They are so stinkin' generous and wonderful examples of how to live.

     I am grateful for all my siblings, in-laws and friends.  It is so wonderful to have such a great support system. So many people I can and have leaned on.  What a blessing they all are.

     I am grateful for the amazing feast we enjoyed this afternoon and the company with which we were able to enjoy it with.

     I am grateful for my health and for the health of my children and loved ones. 

     I am grateful for my home.

     I am grateful for the Gospel.  Without it, I honestly don't know where I would be.  

     I am grateful for the knowledge of my Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ.  

     I am grateful for His atonement which has given me hope and allows me to be with my family forever.

     I am grateful that I didn't have to stand up in front of anyone today and say what I am grateful for.

Boo

My kids and I dropped off my brother, Brett, at the airport tonight.  He was flying out to meet his family in Vegas.  My kids were watching Monsters Inc. on the DVD player in the car.  Thank heaven for movies, they make all my running around 10x easier.  The entire drive there, Ember kept asking..."Where's Boo?"  (She is the little girl in the movie for any of you unlucky adults who are somehow unfamiliar with the DVD)

Then upon seeing the little girl, Ember said, "I don't have pig tails , mom." 

 "Um, no you don't."  I replied.  

"What do I have?" She asked

"Just a barrette."  I said

Suddenly Aidan chimed in, "We just took him to the airport."

Ahh kids.  Aren't they so much fun.

Super kids

Aidan is such a 'super' big brother.  He is usually so sweet to his little sisters.  He love to make me happy and he always tells me so. 

 The other day he went up to Eden and was talking to her in baby talk and said, "You are so go-gious."  It is so funny to hear yourself in your kids.

P.s. Don't mind Eden's little blue boy jammies.
