I hit the Jack Pot!!


For some strange reason it just really hit me today that I am a mother of THREE and on top of that THREE BOYS!!! Not sure why this hasn't seem so crazy before but for some reason this weekend it sank in. Wow I have 3 beautiful, healthy little boys and I couldn't be more happy about it. So many keep asking "Aren't you going to have just one more?" The answer is going to be NO folks. I will not be having any more babies myself, I sealed the deal on that and there is no going back. Ben and I have entertained one day adopting a child that really needs a home but that too is off in the future. For now we are a family of 5. I have endless laundry, messes to clean, fights to break up and oh not to mention more hugs and kisses to give and get than one could ask for. I'm one lucky chick to be surrounded by so many boys. So NO we DIDN'T get the girl but what I DID GET was 3 amazing boys and when I look at them I know that I wouldn't want them to be anything other than what and who they are. Keaton with a bow and pink on makes me giggle. Boys ROCK and I hit the jackpot all the way around!!

Time to get busy and get my life under control!!

OK, so with three kids and a husband my life has gotten to the point where I am becoming crazy with trying to get organized and keep this house under control. So I am laying out here today all the things I need to accomplish this week. I hoping by Sunday I can look at my list and cross everything off but knowing my life that's a pipe dream but one can try. So here's this weeks list.

1.) Go thru all toy bins and pitch or re-organize toys (the boys have things everywhere they don't belong!)
2.) Go thru my master closet and get rid of everything I don't wear and then have someone pic up or drop off immediately, also reorganize closet better for summer and winter wear.
3.) Go thru Aidens closet and pull clothes he's outgrown and pull out clothes he will be wearing for winter. Get Emma over here to take some of the 0-6month stuff so it's gone.
4.)Make a new Halloween bin for all our costumes and junk we are collecting so it's easier to find stuff.
5.)Clear out a better cabinet for Ben's liquor that he's collecting on my back kitchen counter.
6.)Paint main floor powder room
7.) Make Keaton site word flash cards and memory game
8.) Get kids pictures taken
9.) Start work on photo albums

OK, I think that's enough for now as the list could go on and on. I'm tired thinking about it all but it has to be done for my sanity. Now if I can get Ben to pitch in to help!!

In the bowl, PLEASE!!!

OK, I just don't get it!!!! I don't have a pee pee like a boy but REALLY.... Is it impossible to get the pee in the toilet guys, really. I have 2 boys and 1 man that use one of the 4 bathrooms at any given time and for some reason I always seem to find pee somewhere that is not in the toilet bowl. Yes, people I know this post is not yummy but neither is cleaning 4 toilets daily let alone what my morning has been like today. This morning has been bathroom HELL. Ryan who I love very much is on his last leg with me today. He has proceeded to get pee on the floor twice all before noon. I was mopping the bathroom for the first time at 7:30am and again at 10am. I don't think he is tucking when he sits to do his business and hence pee seems to finds it's way out. I am frustrated and DONE mopping for the day so all I have to say is "Boy's you better find away to control that thing or else! Ugh, I need a nap or better yet a housekeeper!!

Melt DOWN!!!!!

This morning was just plain painful and I hope we NEVER REPEAT the rest of the year!!! Keaton was a bit of a bear last night so we put him to bed year all the while he was exclaiming "I'm not tired, I want to stay up all night!!" We'll he was singing a different tune this morning when I woke him up for school. Now he is whining and crying " I am SOOOO tired, I just want to sleep all day, I don't want to go to school!" As things went it was like pulling teeth getting him downstairs for breakfast and Ben and I had to hold him down to get him dressed. All the while he is yelling " I just want to stay home today with mom and sleep!" I was so caught off guard by all this as he loves school but this morning he was not singing the I love school tune, and he had been and I frazzled before 7am. Needless to say we got him in the car but once at school he walked in glued to my leg and wouldn't let me go at the classroom door. Poor Mrs. Vinchattle had to take him by the hand and lead him in upset. I feel for him as I know the days are long, and he is being such a good boy. He only went to school half days before 3 days a week and not at all the whole summer and now he is going everyday from 8am till 3:30. I know once there in his classroom I'm sure he is doing great and having fun but my heart is sad for my sweet baby. Secretly I just wanted to take him home and snuggle all morning but those morning are on hold he's a big boy now and mama's got help him grow up. :( Hope tomorrow will be better for all.

Can you say CRANKY!!

A quick post on the hubby which I rarely do but I have to share that my husband is one big ball of Cranky/Grumpy this weekend and after sitting down this afternoon thinking about what the hell his problem could be I figured it out!!! Da, Da, Da, Daaaaa..... He is trying to stop smoking cigars and yes folks, I have determined this is his problem. He is in need of a nicotine fix and I don't think the nicoret is doing enough for the mood swings. To make a long story short as not alot of time. Ben use to smoke ciggs, then stopped and smoked a cigar here and there. Well the cigar here and there recently became the second he walked in the door nightly and sometimes then another. He didn't like how much he was smoking again so he decided to stop or at least cut way back. I have to give him props as he's not had one cigar the entire weekend, but boy he's not himself. I will bear with it and hope it gets better or I might have to make him take back up the habit just for the sake of happiness around here. He's short with me, the kids, and is walking
around with a grumpy look. If you know Ben this is NOT normal. So well see what happens! Poor guy, grumpy or not I love his cranky ass so I just hope this passes quickly!! Oh and by the way when I told him I blogged on this he was even more cranky, so support people dont put me under the bus by giving him a hard time or I'll have get you back!!! Ha, Ha!!

Oh and I should mention on a side not of fairness to Ben he also is dealing with an eye problem that is causing him pain, not sure what is up with his beautiful hazel eyes but I think he may be heading to the eye Dr. to check it out. Poor baby!!! Even his eyes want to smoke!!! (Bad Joke)

He's off and he doesnt look back


Wed. the 12th was Keaton's first day of Kindergarten and I can admit I was more nervous than he was. I had been nervously planning for weeks to make sure he had everything he needed. Shoes, the right school uniform shirts, shorts and pants, supplies, book bag, lunch box ect... but what I wasn't planning for was how I felt after walking him to his classroom and watching him sit in his little seat with his name tag and seeing that he really is a BOY, not a little boy but a big boy. My heart was so happy and proud yet so sad at the same time as I know this is the beginning of him really growing up and the years will fly by now and most of the days will be spent with someone else teaching him now. Yes, I know people let go be I just have to mourn for a moment that we have closed a chapter and opened a new one for just a bit. He'll always be my baby and I couldn't be more proud of him.

Wed. morning was long anticipated and finally it arrived. Keaton got up, ate his cereal, got dressed, put his shoes on, took some pictures out front for crazy ole mom and then we were off for the start of his school career. The area around the school was a mess, cars EVERYWHERE and people EVERYWHERE. We managed to find a parking spot and made the trek into the school. Snapped some pictures outside the school for crazy old moms sake and found his classroom. Mrs. Vanchittles room was a bit crazy, as she said NO parents in the room, just kiss and go but from the look of it NO ONE listened. Poor teacher, she will have her hands full if these parents cant listen to the first things she said. Anyways. I got Keaton in the door, snapped a shot of him at his desk, gave a big smooch and love you then turned to go and when I looked back he was already into the activity on the desk and chatting to a classmate! No tears from him, not even a look back to see me go. I knew he was ready but really not even a glance back!!! Ha!
I picked him up at 3:30pm and he said "I had a great day and Loved it!" Yeah!!

The second day went just as great except he told me he didn't want the day to end! Hm mm... am I becoming chopped liver here???? Once home last night however he was EXHAUSTED from the day and boy was he in some rare form. We had some major melt downs and had him in bed by 7:15pm. Once in bed and finally done with a crying spell he asked "Mom, why did you put me in full days, I don't get to spend any time with you now, I miss you and want to spend time with you too!" My heart filled with happiness and sadness as he did miss me but sadness that I miss him too and our time together is cut very short now during the weekdays but I told him we would make after school our time together and weekends would be great. He liked that and finally went to sleep.

Third day of school underway today and I miss him alot, however Ryan really misses him. He keeps asking where he is and why he is there. Ryan is next to start school the beginning of Sept. so stay tuned for more of my sob stories.

Holy Big Boy

A little behind on my post but better late than never is my modo lately. Aiden had his 4month well visit last Wed. and the boy is a whopping 18.6 lbs, and 27 inches long. For some comparison for those of you who need one Keaton was 15 lbs and Ryan 15 lbs and both older boys were 26 and some change at 4 months. Aiden is one big, healthy boy.

Here's some of the things he's up to right now:
He can hold his head up on his own (not so much a bobble head)
Starting to hold himself up better in a sitting position and can do so by himself for several minutes
Grunting, Groaning,Cooing, giggling, and smiling like crazy
Completely aware of his hands and feet and usually has at least one fist in his mouth at all times
Teething and drooling like crazy... one bottom tooth will be here soon as mommy can see some white now
Grasping Objects with his hands (especially my hair), loves chewing on and manipulating toys, especially one that make music and noise
Swatting at objects intentionally and loves to play in his exersaucer and make the toys move
Blowing raspberries and bubbles
Smiling and Laughing , very ticklish
He can lift up off his chest and fully extended his arms and roll from tummy to back really well and getting better at back to tummy
Sleeping 8 to 10 hours straight a night...for some reason recently we are having trouble napping but mommy is working on this
Hates the car seat and will be moving to the big Britax Convertible soon as he's about out of the carrier already
Loves to be kissed on his big fat cheeks
Loves his swing and has discovered his feet while swinging so trying to eat them I believe
Spits up less and less thank god!!
Wearing 6-12 months pants and 6-12month tops
Has started eating baby rice cereal for dinner and doing really well

Overall Aiden is doing GREAT and is a blessing. He is the happiest baby and everyone who meets him can't believe how happy the little guy is which warms my heart and reminds me of how lucky I really am.

Now it's daddy vs.2 boys on his own!!

Just spoke to Ben this morning and they had a great night sleep, NO BEARS made an appearance at there campsite so this mommy can breath a sigh of relief. They were eating breakfast and Keaton once again throwing the forest onto the fire!!! Nothing has changed since I left I guess!! What fun for them, their first real camping trip with daddy in the Rocky Mountains, they survived the night but will daddy survive the morning and afternoon with the two of them. That is more of a test of Man vs. Wild if you ask me!!

Man and 2 boys vs. Wild

I think I've lost my mind or I'm turning into my grandmother or something. Today was the big camping trip in the mountains that the boys have been SOOOOO excited about. We got up early this morning. Put all the last minute things in the car. Strapped the kids in their seats and headed out for the great mountains of Colorado to do "Man vs. Wild" as Keaton stated. We spent the day at Manitou Lake where where grilled lunch, fished, chased chipmunks,hiked and relaxed. It was a great day really, even with 3 kids and one being only 4months and in my arms the entire time. By 4pm we headed to the campsite where Ben set up the tent, and camp. We grilled dinner, the boys collected everything they could find for the fire and proceeded to have the campfire like a inferno until we had to put a stop to the massive amounts of pine needles and sticks they were throwing in there. We sat around the fire,relaxed and had marshmallows as the sun went down. I sadly then packed up Aiden and I as it was time for us to head back home for the night. Sadly our tent wasn't going to fit 5 and Aiden really did need to get home to his crib as the poor kid hadn't slept the entire day. Just as I was getting ready to go the campers next to us came over to share that the ranger had been there earlier in the day warning them to put everything food wise in the car as there has been some bears in the area. This of course made me freak out...BEARS!!! I had to keep my fears to myself as not to scare the kids. I didn't want to leave them of course as I never do but here I am at home and missing them all like crazy. When there here I feel like I need a break but when their gone it just to quiet, plus I worry like crazy about them being out there in the WILDERNESS WITH BEARS! They are the loves of my life and i just cant wait till their all back here with me and Aiden and most of all not where the bears are!! I guess I'll go to sleep now so I dont think about it and have my stomach in knots like I do now.

Already 4 months old and he's one happy guy!!






















I am long overdue for share some pictures of Aiden. He is growing and changing so quickly and I cant believe he is 4 months old today. He is such a happy go lucky baby and we are blessed that he has such a great temperament. Out of the 3 boys he is the most laid back yet. His smile lights up a room and anyone around cant help but smile too.

He is grasping toys and loves chewing on anything he can get his grip on and get to his little mouth. Looking in the mirror is super fun right now and sticking his little tongue out has been a hit for a few weeks now. He is gradually getting use to sitting in his exersaucer and likes it even more now that he has figured out how to swivel around, and that he can make things move and yes, chew on stuff. I guess if you haven't figured it out yet he is teething up a storm. One day last week he just started gnawing on his little hand and drooling up a storm and it's only gotten worse since. Overall he has taken teething in stride however today he is fighting taking a nap, and keeps pulling off when he's feeding so I think his teeth are really bothering him. We are blessed that Aiden has been a great sleeper since about 8weeks. He began sleeping from 9am till 5am and that has remained pretty much his normal. Some nights recently he goes down earlier and some morning sleeps in later but I have NOTHING to complain out in the sleep department at night. Thank you Aiden baby!!

Overall I am a blessed mommy with 3 healthy, beautiful boys. I am taking the time lately to enjoy and document my days and their growth as it's going by so quickly. Aiden is wearing 9month to 12month clothes, he can sit up by him self for short periods of time already and he will be starting solids before I know it. My heart gets heavy knowing he is my last baby, don't get me wrong it's good we are done but these times with such a wonderful,sweet blessing like Aiden are so special and they just go by to quickly. I wish I could bottle up all of it so I never could forget a thing.

Just to clear up a few things!

OK, Just a quick explanation about my rant and rave post so no one think I am going off the deep end. I was just blowing off some steam about some people I've come across lately who are not being real, I know they are full of SH** as I talk to them but they keep feeding me and others what they think we will find impressive. I really felt good after expressing my be real rant and that was that. Not mad at anyone per say, just annoyed!! Don't worry for those good friends, I am not close to these few people so please don't think it was directed at any of you.

Settled in

Well it's been 14 weeks (I think, I keep losing track) since Aiden was born and the first few weeks to be very honest were HELL with my spinal leak, but I can say that things are going GREAT now. I think we are settled in and I am finally use to having 3 kids to watch over, take care of, clean up after and ect.... I have to admit at times it's just NOT easy and I don't know how moms of more than three do it as I know how much work 3 kids that are 5,3 and 3 months is and it's exhausting. It may be a lot of work but I've decided It's pretty darn crazy but amazing. All my kids are healthy so I have not one things to complain about. Aiden is the easiest kid of the three and he's just such a great kid. He is smiley and just giggles all the time. Ryan is funny and curious. He does funny things all day long and has a HUGE imagination. Keaton is fiery and independent, oh and TO SMART FOR HIS OWN GOOD!! The older boys love one another and are great friends but cause lots of ruckus around the house, chasing one another, wrestling, egging one another on and of course getting on each others nerves to the point that someone cries or is screaming. Oh there is NEVER a DULL moment around here and I don't expect that it will get any calmer when Aiden get in the mix but at least I now feel like I can handle things. We have a routine, I am not freaked out about taking 3 kids to a restaurant, or grocery shopping and I just have found a way to enjoy the chaos that is my life. So if you see me or talk to me and I seem frazzled, well I probably am at that moment as I have alot of those moments to be honest but know that all in all we are good and I wouldn't change a thing.

Peace!

Hmmm.... I don't know what to do with myself right now. Why do you ask? Well for the simple fact it's peaceful and there's not a sound other than the AC running. Now how can that be? Well I owe it all to my wonderful sister in law Jen who just picked my 2 older boys up to go to Barnes and Nobles for a little outing. Personally I think she may have lost her mind and if not before she probably will have after with my two boys. It sure was nice of her to do this for me and I will have to think of something nice to pay her back as she deserves it. Baby Aiden is napping and I've put away laundry and as I was picking up the basement I couldn't help but just sit in the chair for a second and take in the silence. I love the boys but they are BUSY bodies,and loud. To have such peace is amazing but secretly I miss them (just a little bit).

Enough bull**** be real please !

OK, I have to get this off my chest some people just drive me CRAZY!! There I said it, I do get annoyed and lately it's at people who try and make it seem like they have no problems in life, their kids are perfect all the time, their house is never messy and they always have time for themselves, so hence they have time to shop for home, self and not to mention haircuts, manicures,pedicures, spa dates ect.... and on and on. Be real people parenting is hard work and it's OK to admit it. I'm admitting it right now, I feel like I never have enough time in the day to do a darn thing, my house feels forever messy no matter how much I work at it, I have kids who work against me!!! I know you will all be so surprised but my kids can be BRATTY and drive me CRAZY on most days. As for time for myself what is that. I try and carve some out but that's easier said than done. Maybe I am being grumpy, but I am a mom of 3 with a new baby so spare me your perfect parenting and wife garble. Maybe you are but I am in NO mood to hear it right now. OK, I got it out!!

Walkin once again

Well it's hard to find anytime for me lately but I am making the effort to go walking after dinner with my neighbor and I think it's a much needed stress reliever not to mention it will help melt off the baby weight I am still trying to shed. I gained 32 lbs this past pregnancy and I've now lost 30lbs of it but to be honest I needed to lose some before i even got pregnant so walking I will go. I've also started my exercise video so well see what happens. Now that I am done having babies I can get myself into the best shape of my life right!! Easy to say now I have to do the hard work to make it happen. I'll keep you posted on my progress!!

The boys are Campin!!

So have to do a quick post since my heart is just so full right now it could explode so might as well let it explode into words right!! Right now my 2 oldest and my wonderful husband are laying in their tent in the back yard talking about the favorite part of their day, yes you read that right in our backyard in a tent. For sometime Ben has said he couldn't wait to take the kids camping and 2 of the 3 are finally at an age where that's possible. Before he headed to the great mountains with 2 boys and a tent he wanted to try it out first and what better place than our BACKYARD!! He went out earlier today and got some new sleeping bags, a new fire pit/charcoal grill and stuff for smores and he and the boys were so excited about it getting dark and camping out. Of course around 6ish a terrible storm with crazy rain and wind blew in and tried to detour the whole plan but the boys are lucky enough to have a daddy who was a boy scout and a little rain wasn't changing his plans. Luckily the rain passed and the night continued on with out a hitch. Ben was doing this with or without the rain so thankfully it was without the rain as the night was fantastic. The boys set up the tent with dad, started the fire, roasted mellows and made smores. They had fun walking around the backyard with flashlights and looked for bugs and making shadows. It's now almost 10:30 pm and I just left them all tucked in their bags in the tent talking about the favorite part of their day, like they do each night before bed. I truly am blessed to have such a wonderful family that gets to do such fun stuff. I hope that these times and memories will be treasured by the boys as they truly are treasured my me. Like I said my heart is so full of love right now for ALL my BOYS. Oh, by the way I am truly the queen as I was told I was not allowed in the tent but I could sleep in my house in my cozy bed cuz I am a GIRL!! Boy, oh Boy!!

All giggles


Aiden is not yet 3months but looks like a 6 to 9month old. He's just one big guy. He's growing up so quick and I just wish he would slow down just a bit for ole mom as it's just all going by so fast lately and mommy just wants her baby to stay a baby for as long as possible. Yes, I know he's not even 12 weeks yet but time just seems to be flying by and since this is my LAST baby I am trying to treasure each and every moment. Aiden has been smiling since 7weeks or so and I got a giggle once or twice but just recently we are all smiles and giggles and that laugh is just adorable. I will try and catch it on video to share and melt some more hearts. For now here's a pic of him laughing and smiling. He's such a sweetheart!

So in love!!


Sometimes in life we get so busy we forget to stop and be thankful for all the little things and even sometimes the big stuff. Recently life has been that busy for us but over the last few days I have just been so overcome with how lucky I truly am. I am the wife of a wonderful husband and a Mommy to 3 amazing, beautiful little boys.
Keaton has grown so much over the last 5 years, it's almost more than my mind can wrap around. He is a little man now, independent, head strong and so VERY smart. I will never forget how small and helpless he was when they laid him on my chest the minutes after he was born. I was so scared of what was to come, how would we love, and care for this amazing little boy. He was OURS but neither of us new the amazing journey we would be taking from the moment of his birth. Keaton was the start of our amazing life and family and he was our test case I guess you could say. I was so worried and determined not to damage or screw him up in anyway. I think Ben and I have done a pretty good job so far as here we are 51/2years later and he is just AMAZING what he has become.
I always new I wanted at least 2 children and when we found out Ryan was growing inside me I was over the moon. If he was anything like his brother I knew we were going to be blessed. What I didn't know was that I am grateful that he is like his brother in many ways but even more blessed that he is just RYAN BENJAMIN a wonderful little boy all his own. Ryan came out into the world with a cry and a deposition that has become just him, it's still much the same as when he was a baby. He is laid back, observant, serious, very loving, yet stubborn and just all boy. He has become my boys, boy in that he LOVES to get dirty, he LOVES puddles and mud and has been known to paint himself with chalk, mud, paint, ect..... Ryan has done something that I thought would be hard to do in the shadow of his big brother and that it Shine BRIGHTLY and make our hearts burst with pride and love every moment.
A mother worries always but of course I was so worried how I would find the ability to love a third child,when I found I was pregnant with our third and beloved son. How would I survive being a mom of three active little boys, where would the love and patience come from for another child? Well I should have never worried because the moment Aiden began his journey out into this world I was in love. The long labor and the end result of Aiden Alexander on my chest so purple and not crying and labored breathing scared me to death and I never knew I could be so in love and need something so much. When I heard him finally crying and saw his beautiful skin turn pink I knew there was no turning back. God gave me my angle and he is our beautiful Aiden. Aiden may only be 11 weeks but he is forever ours. My heart is more full now than it's ever been, I couldn't imagine a day without our sweet Aiden, he is a wonderful baby. He has such a wonderful deposition, in that he is so laid back, and even tempered. As long as he's feed, dry and getting some naps and snuggle time he is a happy guy. I just can wait to see how he grows and changes over the next few months and years. If he's anything like his brothers I will be truly bless.
So even when my house is crazy and kids screaming and my head spinning because the boys are driving me out of my mind I have to stop myself and remember that these times with my boys are special. On the other hand I have to take each wonderful moment that I get to watch my sons grow and learn something new, grownEveryday is a memory and a day in their amazing little life that is making them who they will be when they grow up one day and go out into the big crazy world. Time goes fast that one day can never be redone, so enjoy it for whatever it shall bring.
In short being a mom of three boys and amazing husband is not always easy but one thing that it is always is a journey and a blessing. Most of all I wouldn't change one single thing, my life is all I could ever hope for an more. I am truly blessed and SO IN LOVE with all my boys!!!

Keaton's first loose tooth!!

So tonight was a big day with T-ball and Circus and to top it off Keaton shared with us that he has a loose tooth. We were brushing teeth tonight and I told him I was giving his teeth a good going over after all that Cotton candy and he said "sure mom you can brush my teeth too but please careful of my front lower tooth as it's sore. " I of course asked why it was sore and he let me feel it and sure enough it's LOOSE!!! I of course got a bit emotional as my first born baby is no longer a baby as he's beginning to lose his baby teeth now. Time is just flying by and I can do nothing to stop it and it makes me sad. Keaton was so happy and said"I'm so excited because now I will put my tooth when it falls out under my pillow and he will leave me a quarter!!!" It was just precious seeing such innocence and joy on his face talking about the tooth fairy. Ben was just thankful he only expects a quarter!!! Ha, Ha!!
I think it's funny it's lose right before we go to the dentist on Tues. Now I just pray the rest of his teeth DON'T have cavities!! Ill have to post and let you know when it finally falls out and post a pic. he will look so different missing a tooth. Oh, I love you Keat slow down for mommy will ya!!!

Circus, Circus


Ben has been loading us up with things to do this summer and one of those things was he got us Circus tickets. Now to some this would not be a surprise but if you know Ben like I do it is not normal, I haven't been able to get Ben to go to the State fair for the entire time that I have known him and any other year I have mentioned the Circus he claimed he didn't hear me or would ignore the idea so I am VERY happy he did it all on his own and he was actually excited to go with the boys and oh yes, he did have a GREAT time with us all!! Our summer has started out with so many fun activities thus far, we sure our lucky!!

Keaton and Ryan were over the moon all Friday and Sat. morning. The boys had T-Ball games all Sat. morning so after all the nutty, chaotic, funny mess of T-ball we headed for the 3:30pm show and it was alot of fun. Keaton and Ryan sat with a huge smile on their faces and it was priceless. They only got dad to buy a $12 bag of cotton candy (which he is pretty bitter about) and didn't ask for anything else thankfully. Not that Ben or I would have gotten it if they did anyway. The toys and ect.... started at $18!! Yay, right.... NOT THANK YOU!! I was proud of little Aiden as he snuggled with me so well and watched the show and then ate off and on. I would have never attempted to go to the circus with a 10week old previously but I guess when it come to the third you just get over it and life has to continue on and you make sure it does with lots of fun.

Oh and just a cute funny while at the circus. In front of our seats was another couple with a girl baby about 4 months and Keaton says to me and her mommy. "She is cute mommy, maybe Aiden can date her when he gets older!!!" What????? To funny, that my 5 year old is thinking about setting his younger brother up already. Hmmmm, I think I am in trouble!!
Over all a great day!!!
