Just thought I would write something

The proudest Dad on earth...
Is me, Ben Holladay. I just witnessed something that changed my life! I was playing catch with my son Aidan (actualy it was mostly this game that he made up which involves him throwing a ball and me catching it in this stupid net thing I don't understand all the rules but he takes it EXTREMELY seriously) and I witnessed as my almost 2yr old threw his NERF football to me across the living room (about 10') in a perfect spiral. This happened not once or twice but five times in a row! I think I may have the next John Elway on my hands!

1. I HATE CHOCOLATE when I'm pregnant. I'm not a huge fan! Although there is SOME german chocolate that I could devour! So who knows what my problem is.

2. I'd love to live with my parents the rest of my life! I know it sounds so funny but I could live with my parents and hang out with them everyday but I would want my hubby and kids there to enjoy it also! I love being around my family and just being myself! So I'm very greatful that Ben lets me go visit with them when I get lonely for some Mommy time!

3. I love to sit and SMELL Aidan's blankies! I could do it all day. Infact sometimes I steal them to sleep with them! I enjoy his smell! I hope thats not TOO weird!

4. I love to START projects and I never end up finishing them! I have many unfinished products even at mom's and dad's!

5. I hate cleaning. The only time my house really gets a good cleaning is when I'm really upset or when I have a friend here keeping me company.

6. I LOVE kid movies. I could watch all the kid disney dvd's and be perfectly happy as a kid! I love them all!

Okay so now who to tag? Um lets see...........Cashelle, Ashley, Smashes, Alisha, Catie and Sarah! Enjoy girls!

Vote for me!!!!

My best friend!

Messin around with Mom!

Aidan is literally tbe most reliable friend I have! Other then his daddy! Aidan will sit and listen to me when I'm having the hardest day. He'll even sit and snuggle when I cry cause I miss Utah. My mother in law thinks I'm a piece of work for missing home and wanting to be by family but who cares! Family is important to me. I know that Ben is my family now but I still adore my family in Utah! Aidan loves seeing his cousins too. He still hasn't stopped talking about his Aunt MANNY! (Aunt Mandy) He wants everyone to be her! Anyway I snapped a picture of Aidan and I the other day and wanted to dedicate this post to him! Aidan is really a good boy! He went from drinking a bottle one night to not having another one ever again. We just switched him to a big boy bed and he hasn't even freaked out! He's the worlds best baby! He has his times don't get me wrong but I quickly see past those things when he starts to dance to the wiggles! He's so creative! Aidan loves to look at www.starfall.com with me and read through the stuff on there. It teaches him a lot! Aidan's new thing is to switch the DVD by himself. It irritates me cause I"m nervous he's gonna break the dvd player and the DVDs.

Aidan's so FUNNY!

Aidan climbs in this shelf to hide. Its hilarious. Sometimes he even prefers to eat his lunch in there.



This is my little cheese head! He LOVES his binkies so much he'll even suck on 2 at one time! I know nuts right? I don't mind though! Whatever makes him happy!



Aidan sure is getting cuter by the day! Although he is fussy and a brat sometimes I still am SO in love with him! He's got me wrapped around his finger I'm not gonna lie! So Ben has talked to his batallion commander about the letter he needs to complete his packet. I'm hoping all this comes and is done by the end of September. Sneak in a little prayer for us if you think about it! I'm really hoping this works out for him! It'd be his dream job! I'm sitting here writing this watching Aidan cover his daddy in his blankets! Aidan is such a lovable boy. He's so into all of his blankies! I can't even really write how he says it. I will always remember. Cause he calls his binkie,blankie and his Monkey the same thing! Our next appt is in September so stay tuned. Still no picture of this belly but your not missing out on much believe me! For any of you who've found my blog through blog hopping please email me! I'd love to stay in touch with everyone from school! bhholladay04@yahoo.com

15 weeks! So many more weeks to go......

We went to the Dr yesterday for our check up. He told us a gender but it was more of a guess and last time with Aidan they guessed or thought they knew and it changed the next month. So I think we are holding off on telling folks the gender until next time cause I"m a little skeptical. Not sure. Mothers instinct is usually right and the guess wasn't my instinct. Who knows maybe but we'll have to wait and see and so will you! Here's a photo of the babies back side. The cutie was moving so much we couldn't get a good photo except this one shows the butt, leg and arm! So cute right? Well to a mother it is! I'm excited to have this little spirit inside of me even if its controlling my body!!!
So I'm 15 weeks and I still haven't put a belly photo up. Maybe I'll get on Ben tonight to have him take a pic of me! Enjoy everyone! August is half way over isn't that insane?

Aidan's grown so much!

These are some photos since we've been home. Aidan sure changed the month we were gone! He loved being home with the family. He's asked for Nana everyday and once in awhile asks for Papa and KAYLA! Isn't that cute. I tell him they live over the ocean. Everytime we see a plane in the sky Aidan asks "Where'd it go?" and I said I don't know where did it go? He replies "nana's" So Ben said "Nana's house must be pretty popular. Also Aidan has become the MONEY man! He wants to carry the money around all day and keep it in his pocket. Then of course when he sees a lollipop machine or candy machine Aidan pulls out his money and says PLEASE money~ He's taking after his Papa loving money! (Thats what Daddy says!) We sure have a cute little boy and sometimes he can be a little terror but we'll keep him!

Aidan put his slippers and hat on his head. He looked so cute!

Another shot of him trying to shut the lights off. He's into ON and OFF lately.

Posing for the camera like a little HAM!

Aidan pointed to the camera and said Cheese so I turned it on and took a photo of him. He's def my kid. I love pictures!

This is our big man on campus. He wears everyone's shoes. This ritual started at Nana's in Utah! He adored Nana and her shoes!
Man Nana and Papa look how much you helped Aidan grow. He now talks about his cousins! That was a good move to have us come home!
We love you so much Nana and Papa! and can't wait to see you Nana in January for the new lil one~

Missing Home! But will survive!

Me and The KBear

The famous KBEAR (she's the BEST babysitter EVER!!!!!)

The cutest cousins ever!!! They should make Nana and Papa proud!

Daniel and Aunt Heidi! Isn't he a DOLL?
So I've been out of the LOOP lately. Things just didn't get right back to normal when we got home. It took Aidan about a week to get back on schedule but he's still not sleeping like he used to but thats understandable. So I am just going to post some random pics! This one will be my MOST random entry ever! I am missing my Kayla so bad that I am going to post some pics of her and then the other fun cute cousins!!!

Headed Home

Back home to Germany we go Thursday bright and early!!! Wanted to thank everyone who I saw and thank you to everyone for the FUN! It was nice being home for awhile!
Love you all! My Germany friends I'm headed home!

I've been tagged!

Ok Ladies and Gents! I've been tagged by my sister in law but I can't really do my tag right now. So on August 1 or August 2 my tag will be completed and posted ok?!?!?! I'm just not at my house right now! And nope I probably won't clean it first either cause I"ll be so jet lagged! So stay tunned! I'm off to go boating I'll be sure to take some photos of the GREAT event! I'm hoping to get some sun and it looks like I'm gonna! See ya folks!

Our little American Boy!

So we went to kiddie kandids today and got Aidan's pictures taken. I figure this will count as his 2 year old pictures! Since in Germany they don't have kiddie kandids and they are my absolute favorite! They did some collages of Aidan and they turned out so cute. I don't mind spending the money there cause they do such an amazing job! I'm not very good at knowing what picture is where so I just add my 2 cents to the pictures and post them! Thats fair right? I really hope you guys enjoy them!

Playdate with Aubree!

Aidan has been having a good time here in Utah. The other day we had a playdate with Ashlee's little girl Aubree! She is so cute!

This is Ashlee's little girl Aubree! Isn't she cute?

Here she is sitting in the pool!

Aidan didn't seem to want his picture taken but oh well! He was having fun!

Aidan was wondering where the airplane he had just seen was going!

HOME SWEET HOME!

Hey guys Aidan and I will be home tomorrow! Hip Hip Hooray! Hope you all are having a great week!
Maybe we will run into a few of you while we are in Brigham!
See you all soon!

Aidan's 18month Photos!

Well we ended up getting Aidan's 18 month pictures done out here in Germany. I know I should be enjoying the time over here and enjoying Europe but I just can't. Its the pitts! I wanna be in the states where when I crave some regular fast food while I'm knocked up I could go get it! The euro out here is kicking our butt too so that doesn't help out much. We will be home next week for a visit so I hope we get to see as many people as possible!

No MORE!

So we are in the CLEAR! No more bottles for MR Aidan! I know he's 19 months and they say to take them at 12 months but look at me I've conquered one of my motherly tasks! Sorry folks you won't be seeing the binky out of his mouth for awhile! So not ready for that step!

Happy Fathers Day!

Just wanted to shout out to the WORLDS GREATEST DADS!

Our Man and his Cute little Attitude!

Aidan loves to have his picture taken with me, Ben, or anyone willing! He always is on top of his game doing everything! He's all over the place except for when he's sleeping. A new thing he's started is. Since most of you know I get morning sickness bad. Well this time around its just the same! Go figure right? It'd be my luck. So for any of you folk hoping Ben and I will have more then 2 kids....................uh yeah right!!!!! Anyway Aidan stands by me at the toilet spitting into the toilet to. Funny kids right? The last picture is of Aidan in his tux to go to church with his hair all done! He's super cute!
