After his bath...

Here is Aidan after his bath... he loves to suck on his fingers. He now rolls over all the time. When we put him to sleep in his crib, he immediately rolls over on to his stomach. He can actually MOVE... which is a scary thought. (Note: My camera is on the "blink" right now so these are some older pics and the other camera doesn't want to download photos anymore!) UGHHH!

The Five Boys....

I was able to capture this photo of the five cousins. Wyatt is 11 months old and Casey is 10 years old. Wyatt was actually born on our anniversary.... no excuse for me to forget his birthday, right? :)

Wrestling match...

Sy and Owen love their big cousin Casey and wrestling around with him!

Swimming fun...

We drove up on the 4th of July to see Jeff's family. The boys had a blast playing in the pool at his Dad's that afternoon. It was actually a little cold but once they got in they LOVED it!

The "Creation"

This totally amazed me the other day.... Simon decided that he wanted to make for his tiny stuffed dog a "johnny jump up." He created this out of paper and tape and it really looked like the bouncy swing. ( The picture does not do it justice.) He even made perfect little holes for the dog's legs!

Mr. Happy...

Aidan is getting to be more aware of his surroundings. If he drops a toy, he wiggles his hands and scoots to try and get it. I also noticed today that he gets bored of holding the same rattle over and over again. He gets so excited when I give him a new toy! He had the cutest expression on his face tonight when Jeff was reading the boys stories before bed. He just LOVES to be in the middle of all the "big boy" happenings and just grins from ear to ear!

Our strawberry picking day!

We took the boys to Indiana to pick strawberries several weekends ago. I love to go fruit picking ( probably because I never got to do it growing up) and hope that our boys will have many happy memories of our berry picking times when they grow up. (and not remember how hot and sticky it really is :)

Owen's bucket...

Owen throughly enjoyed picking the strawberries. However, he got more green and rotten ones than good ones. He was so excited and cute... I didn't have the heart to tell him the truth!

The fastest picker in Indiana...

Simon is a sweet, curious, and happy little guy. However, what few know about him is that he is a FAST berry picker :) I always feel guilty taking him berry picking because he does SUCH a good job that I feel like I should pay him for his manual labor :)

A visit from Aunt Kath...

My Aunt Kath came to visit my Mom for a few days at the beginning of June. She had never met Owen or Aidan before and it was wonderful to see her again!

Simon and Ms. Julie

Simon attended preschool several mornings a week at our park district. On their final day, they had a program for the parents. Ms. Julie is a great teacher and we are so thankful Simon had a such a fun year!

Aidan at 4 months....

Here is Aidan's 4 month photo. He is such a smiley and happy baby. He has the longest eye lashes and is very bald :)
