Airport on the way home!

Ben and Aidan were playing so cute while we were waiting to get on our next flight in Amsterdam! I had to take a couple of pictures of them! Aidan loves loves loves his daddy! I think its cute. I thought I was gonna get lucky and that Aidan would want Ben the whole time on the plane but NOPE! He loves his daddy but he needed to snuggle with mommy while he slept! It was a very pleasant flight home! Now we are enjoying being home and getting back to a regular schedule!

My Birthday Party at Grandpa's and Nali's

While we were home we also celebrated Aidan's birthday with Ben's parents and family. It was a lot of fun! I didn't get as many pictures but got a lot of cute ones. I will just post a few of them so you can see! Aunt Gabi made Aidan a fish cake! It was so so cute! Ben pushed his face in it and Nali helped Aidan dig big pieces out of it to eat all by himself! Then cousin Benjamin got to eat some with Aidan too! It was a super fun night!
Aidan will be 1 on the 13th of November! Ahh where did my baby go?

The Zoo!

Well Ben and I had the chance to take Aidan to the zoo while we were in Utah! We went with my sister and her kids! It was great! Aidan would growl at the animals! He wants to be one of them I am sure! He's always acting like an animal! We sure love having Aidan! He's such a silly goose! I just can't believe he's gonna be 1 next month its so crazy to me! Well hope you enjoy our zoo pics!

Aidan's 1st Birthday Party at NANA'S and GRUMPY'S

Aidan had his 1st birthday party a month early since we were with family and when its his real birthday we will be in Germany. So we decided to celebrate it in the states with family. So we did one with Heidi's family and it turned out really well! His cousins gave him some cool toys! We made sure we didn't bring much so that we could take his toys home! My friend Jen made Aidan and amazing 3D car cake. Little Danny came out and looked at it and said WOW thats AWESOME!
Aidan sure loves to be around his cousins! He gets along with them all very well! Here's some pictures of Aidan's party! Well we sure enjoy doing this blog! I try so hard to keep posting things! I will do my best to keep updated! Today we are headed to the zoo so I better add the pictures and get ready! I'm just gonna add them on here randomly! hope thats ok!

Kiddie Kandids Pictures!

We went and got Aidan's 1 year old pictures the other day! ( I know he's only 11 months but we will be in Germany next month when he turns 1 and wanted to get them done at kiddie Kandids so we did it early!) He was so so sick with a cold but was still so smily! We had lots of fun the last 3 nights taken care of him. He gets to sleep in bed with us when he's sick and Ben loves that! Ben sure would let Aidan sleep with us every night if he could. He's really missed out on being a dad so he's been making up for lost time. Ben turns on the camera and just starts taking all this pictures of Aidan and he's like "Sorry I just love taking pictures of him" We think Aidan's a HAM for the camera! I know he's our kid so of course we would think that but who knows maybe he really is!


Here is Aidan's halloween costume! Isn't he the cutest shrek ever?!? We love him in this costume! He has such a personality I think he'd make any costume cute! He still gets really excited and waves his hands like he's riding a harley! He's mastered crawling everywhere and standing up by things and now he has started to CLIMB! Well not really climb but his little body wants to. The other night Ben and I watched him as he tried so hard to climb out of his crib! He is going to be so crazy when he's older! He loves to explore!

My sister has bought Danny these little ACU's so we put them on little Aidan (although he's very tall so they pretty much fit him) Then I wore an ACU jacket and we looked like a cute little army family! YIPEE! We love being a family! We love having Ben home! I know we say that lots! But we really do!


Well anyway I sure hope that you guys have enjoyed our family pics and Aidan's 1st birthday pictures! He had one heck of a birthday party with Heidi's side of the family and it was fun! Heidi's friend Jen made him an amazing car birthday cake we'll post pics of that day! Well hope you are all doing good! Love you all!

Typo in last blog

Just a little note we had a little typo on the last blog. I meant to put then Benjamin and Aidan could keep all the boys off of Aunt Betsy's little girl!!
Hope you all enjoy!

Family Pics

Mandy went with us today up to Sherwood Hills and took our family pics. We can't even explain how much fun it is to have Ben home! Aidan is so crazy in love with him already. Its great I have my two favorite boys home! I just want to thank you all for being there for our family throughout this deployment! Its been great to have family and friends! There is much to be adjusted to now that daddy is home. Aidan has two people to listen to instead of just mommy. We are enjoying spending time with cousins. We just found out that Aunt Betsy is pregnant! We are so excited for her. We hope that she has a little girl! Then Benjamin and I can keep all the boys off of her when she's older! Right Aunt Betsy? This month we are celebrating Aidan's first birthday with my family and Ben's family. We are doing them separate since both of our families are pretty big! I can't believe Aidan will be 1 next month! Holy Cow he's getting so big. Where did my baby go? Well hope you guys enjoy our family pics. Hope to hear from you all!

Ben being home!

Aidan got sick on our trip

Poor little Aidan got sick while we were in Utah visiting and he still is feeling a little uneasy! But he's been puking lots but hopefully he will be feeling better! He is enjoying seeing his cousins and playing with them! He is almost 11 months. I can't even believe it I think MAN WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE? Well I took 2 pictures of Aidan while he wasn't feeling good. He's so confused with the time difference that we just let him be in comfy clothes and relax! Hope your all having a good week!
