bronco weekend

we are thankful.

hello, fall :)

 aiden has started doing this thing.. and we call it "turtle face"

pretty self-explanatory...

random catching up!

 father-son bonding

 the kids showing off their ^carrots^

 once upon a time, i bought ava a blazer.  i took her outside to snap a few good pictures and she was a total brat sourpuss and would not cooperate.  then we tried to take a family picture and trying to get 4 people to look at the camera at the same time was impossible.  the end.

the kids & their matching {firetruck} jammies

aiden {5 months}

my how he's grown!

16 lbs 9.5 oz {75% percentile}
28 inches {>95% percentile}

////caught on camera\\\\

there comes those important moments as a parent where we have to decide...

stop child(ren) in danger.. or take a picture first

rock the vote 2012

we voted, did you?

cousins & g.grandparents

 ruby & phoebe came to play!

aiden was loving ruby's long locks.  he was like RAPUNZEL!  YOU DO EXIST!

which also brings me these pictures, which i forgot to post awhile back!  just a little visit to grandma & grandpa's house!

green beans [please]

aiden is [five] whole months old, so we decided it was time to introduce a food.. just to test his readiness.  i read that starting with green vegetables increases the chances that kids will eat them, so we gave it a go with green beans.  he wasn't so sure at first, but i think he liked them more than he led on :)

 check out those baby blues!

[flashback]

march 2009

ava's first food was i believe.. sweet potatoes (or by process of elimination, carrots or squash!)
