Aaron odds and ends

Aaron, Aaron, Aaron..that is all I can say. This sweet looking child of ours is quite the handful! He is very different then his brother Ryan at this age as he is very tempermental, and stubborn. BUT he does have the cutest smile (when you can see it past the foo-foo)! He is definitely ornery and likes to push the limits and he LOVES his reeses pieces! I am not sure how he got started on them, but we now have to have a stash in the house so he can have them when he's REALLY cranky! If we leave them sitting out then that is the only thing he wants to eat!

He has decided to finally start riding his mickey bus around the house. Before he was pushing it everywhere, but now he uses it to sit on and store/hide things....especially his foo-foos! Here is a picture of him without the foo-foo which is a miracle!

We also were able to finally get a good video of him dancing to the theme song to Jacks' big music show!

And last but not least a video of the boys doing there favorite game just before bedtime. They climb up on the trunk, jump into the chair and then fall off the chair. On this night they probably did it for 20 minutes straight! I don't know how many times I almost had a heart attack from Aaron diving off the chair. Of course the evening ended with Aaron falling on his head and getting a rug burn! Seems to me that he is trying to keep up with his cousin Kaitlyn in his daredevil ways!

Farming time!

When dad was farming in Kossuth, we were able to help him move from one field to another. I couldn't resist taking pictures of the boys sitting in the tire like I used to do when I was a little girl! Ryan actually took the picture of me and Aaron!

Swimming lessons

In order to prepare Ryan for our vacations this year and our planned membership to the Wapak pool, we put him in swim lessons at the YMCA. We ended up doing 2 sets of lessons (14 total) to help get him comfortable in the water. Prior to this he would only hold on to one of us for dear life so we are very happy with the progress he has made! Here are a couple of videos from the last day of swim lessons! For someone who generally doesn't like getting his hair wet, he didn't do too bad in these videos! We were shocked he went off of the diving board b/c he has only done that 2 other times out of 14!

Wedding receptions and parks at the same time!

Back in May we had a wedding reception to go to in Findlay for Paul's cousin. It happened to be at a park with a playset nearby so the majority of our time was spent with the boys playing! Here are a few pictures of the boys. Aaron decided on this day that he would only go down the slide feet first and on his belly. He thought it was GREAT!!

Surprise!

Climbing up the stairs one way or another!

Happy as usual!
