Aiden turns 2!

Aiden's birthday was on Monday.

We didn't do a whole lot because Aiden wasn't feeling that great.  I think he has allergies and they are really bad right now.

Here is the mantle all decorated for him

He opened his presents

We got him a pool.  Unfortunately, he didn't end up getting in because it got colder by the end of the day 

I made him rice krispie treats instead of a cake and I don't think he liked how sticky they were.

Isn't that such a sad face?  By the way, this was at lunch time.  He was still in his jammies.

I finally got him dressed in his new clothes for his 2 year old pictures.  His face is gross because of his allergies and I knew if I tried to clean him up then pictures wouldn't happen.  So, these are "real life" pictures.  

Later Aaron took the kids to his parents for his mom's birthday.  I didn't take Aiden because he was miserable and oozing grossness.  Aaron's parents sent his presents home, so he had round 2 of present opening before he went to bed.

So, it definitely  wasn't a "perfect" day, but I think Aiden still had a good day.

Dallin and Brooke's Birthday Party

On April 28, we had my family over for the kids' party.

We had pizza and opened presents.

They got some fun stuff!

The kids are lucky enough to have 2 great-grandmas!

Here are the desserts.

Brooke got a fancy cake because I had just had my final for my 1st Wilton cake decorating class.

Dallin got cupcakes because there was no way to get him to want flowers on his cake.

So I made him some basketball cupcakes and he was thrilled.

It was a fun party!

Aquarium

On Saturday, April 27, we met Aaron's parents at the aquarium to celebrate the kids birthdays.  It was such a fun place!

After we were done at the aquarium we went to McDonald's for lunch (yay.)  Then the kids opened their presents in the car.  They were so excited with what their grandparents bought them.

It was such a fun way to celebrate their birthdays!

Dallin is super smart.  He is also very social and makes friends very easily.  He is a good helper when he wants to be.  He is a good reader.  He likes to ask questions.  Dallin has a great laugh.  Dallin loves Skylanders and trains.  He is still Grandpa Steve's buddy.  We love our Dallin!

Brooke is 5!!

Brooke turned 5 on April 23.  I can't believe it!

The traditional birthday outfit pictures!

Brooke is our little sweet, sassy girl.  She is very girly and insists on wearing skirts or dresses almost every day.  Although, she hates having her hair done.  She is loving preschool and can't wait for kindergarten.  She is very shy until she gets to know you and then she won't stop talking.  She loves her dolls, dollhouse, and her polly pockets.  Her favorite colors are pink and purple.  We love our little squeaker.
