It has been a busy few weeks here for the past little while. Just a quick update for you. Matt was in McLennan for the past 2 weeks working at a clinic that the school has up there. It's really great because it gives the students a chance to do more 'real-life' dentistry. Matt really really liked it! He especially liked being able to make his own decisions about things and not having to wait for an instructor to check every single thing that he does. Not surprisingly, he is even more sick of school now! Oh well. Only 5 more months left. I'm really excited to be done with school and to be moving on to bigger and better things!

While Matt was gone me and Aiden were pretty busy. The first week I was doing a lot of running around trying to get everything ready for our Super Saturday. What a bunch of craziness!! Anyways, Super Saturday is over and done with and I couldn't be happier!! It's probably bad of me - but I am extremely happy that I will not be living here when the next one comes around!!

This last week me and Aiden went down to Medicine Hat for the week. It was a lot of fun to see my parents and Connor. Aiden really liked having people play with him - and I think my parents liked to play too! We took him to the YMCA one day - they set up mats, tunnels, balls, and have a giant bouncy house thing. Aiden really liked it I think. He also got to go swimming with Grandpa - which he LOVED!! I have never heard him laugh so hard in his life. It was so funny! On the way home we also had a real quick stop in Rosemary. It would have been nice to stay a bit longer - oh well.

Now we are all back at home - which is nice! I missed Matt a lot!! And I think he missed us too! The only other new thing is that Aiden has been walking a whole bunch lately - which has been fun. Every day he gets a little bit better! I'm looking forward to not having to carry him around as much - and to his pants not wearing out so quick! What a turkey!

Oh, it snowed quite a bit here a few weeks ago so I decided that we should probably build a snowman. I got Aiden all dressed up in his new snow-suit and took him outside. It lasted about 3 minutes - we were back in before Matt even made it outside. haha! Aiden still has a long way to go before he enjoys the snow!

Last weekend we were in Rosemary with Matt's family. His sister Kim and her family just moved to New Zealand - so we all wanted to see them one last time before they left. We had family pictures done at the old farm and they turned out great! (no, I didn't take them)

While we were out at the farm - I had to sneak in a few pics of my own.
It was such a beautiful day and the farm is such a great place for pictures!

Yummy Birthday Cake

Aiden had a pirate ship cake for his birthday.
I don't have a picture of the cake (they all turned out a bit blurry - weird)
but it was only medium cute.
I am definitely not a pro-star cake decorator...
but I think Aiden still enjoyed his treat!

Aiden is One!!


I can't believe that Aiden is one already! This past year has just flown by!! Wow!!
I am so thankful to have Aiden here with us - he is such a blessing. We love him so much!!

I've been looking at all of our pictures of Aiden and it is amazing to see how much he has changed - and kindof sad to see how fast he is growing up! But I'm so happy that he is growing well. He is such a smart and funny kid! He has such a funny, and weird personality - I LOVE it! He makes me laugh so much every day!! Here are a few pictures of our little man!

Just a few days old - such a little guy!


1 month old
This picture is from his blessing day.
His hair used to be so dark!


2 months old
His hair has always stood straight up - I LOVE it!!


3 months old
Big eyes- Big Cheeks - Big Drool!!


4 months old
His first white shirt and tie! So cute!


5 months old
After Aiden discovered his feet, he had them in his
hands and mouth for about 2 months straight.
We used to go through at least 3 pairs
of socks every day!


6 months old
Aiden looking quite serious...
not a huge fan of the grass!


7 months old
This picture was taken on Father's Day - Aiden
is wearing his super studly blazer!
His hair looks so long and
wispy here! It's funny to me!


8 months old
Aiden LOVES the water!
He did a LOT of naked swimming this summer!


9 months old
I love this picture!


10 months old
Aiden is crazy!! He has the funniest hair and
the best teeth here! What a goof!


11 months old
Sitting in the leaves - he HATES touching them with his hands!


One Year Old!
Our Family
Aiden is doing one of his signature cheesy grins!

Happy Halloween!!

This Halloween is Aiden's first...and we celebrated by doing nothing!
Our ward had a party for the kids tonight , but it started right
when Aiden goes to bed - and based on his grumpiness,
the party would not have been a good idea.

Tomorrow night we are heading to Rosemary (Matt's sister and her
family are packing up and heading off to New Zealand for
at least 2 years - so we are going to have
one last hurrah before they leave).

That means no trick-or-treating for little Aiden. I am a bit
sad about it - i know it's silly - he's little, he can't walk, he can't eat candy...but it
still would be fun! Oh well. There is always
next year, and the year after, and the year after that...

Anyways, we did have a few chances to dress Aiden up in his costume.
I know I've put some pics up already, but might as well add a few more!
Happy Halloween Everyone!

Sneak Peek at Baby Tyrell!

I was lucky enough to take these pictures
of my friend's baby - Tyrell.
He is only 4 days old.
It's crazy to see how small he is!
I have never taken pictures of
a teeny tiny baby before
but I think they turned out pretty good!
Here are some of my favorites
Congratulations John & Nikki!!









I also made up Tyrell's birth announcements.
Here's what they look like.
