My Dad...

Well some of you may know (the ones I've told), my dad is here visiting for a couple of months. He and I have not had the best relationship as a matter of fact we have had almost no relationship. If you read my previous posts you get a better understanding of that; a little. Anyways, he hurt is back on the job so he is on workers comp. He decided to take advantage and come be with his mom (my grandmother) for the time being; which is cool I guess. He had been here for a couple of weeks and I had not seen him until Easter. Aaron is in tee ball, so when one of my sisters told him that he was in tee ball he got excited cuz he likes the sport. Well on Easter he stopped by for a couple of hours. I had previously told Aaron that his Grandpa Jerry was going to come over and teach him a few tricks. Since Aaron's only seen him a handful of times he said "which grandpa, the one with the black and white hair or the one with the beard" LOL I don't know which grandpa with a beard he was talking about. So when my dad arrived at my house Aaron right away had this bright smile and said "Grandpa you played baseball are you going to teach me how to play". Going back to the beginning of this post, me and my dad didn't have a good relationship as I was growing up and to hear MY son call him grandpa with such excitement in his eyes just touched my heart... My children deserve to have their Grandpa in their lives, I just don't want him to disappointed like he did me... I know this is God's way of making me realize things. I believe this our (Me and my Dad's) second chance. I've held on to this grudge too long. I'll leave the outcome to the Lord above. I just pray that my dad doesn't hurt his grandkids... You know the weird thing about it is that when he's here my boys treat him like they've known him forever.... It brings a smile to my face when I look out the window and see my dad playing with the boys....warm feeling!

Happy Easter!!!

Easter Sunday was fun and relaxing... The weather wasn't that good but we still enjoyed being outside. The most enjoyable part was having Ariel (daddy) with us ALLLL day. He didn't have to leave to go to work. He hadn't had Easter off in a long time. The boys took advantage and enjoyed it with him; daddy did the same. My dad is here visiting from Michigan and stopped by for a couple of hours which I enjoyed. My little sister and her family came over and one of my cousins and her kids and family friends joined us as well. We cooked hamburgers and hotdogs, chips and of course ALL the sweets..... The kids hunted for eggs that had candy and money.... We had a good ole time. I couldn't of asked for anything more... Love you Ariel!!!! I'll post some fun pics later!!! Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter!!!

Another tooth bites the fairy dust!!!

Yup, my little BIG Aaron lost his second tooth Wednesday, March 19th. This time it wasn't that bad, he didn't cry, he played it off like a big boy. The tooth fairy brought him a wopin $5.00. Man, we never got $5.00 for a tooth, it was more like 25cents, 50 if you were lucky; gosh how the economy changes, LOL. Aaron is now missing his two bottom teeth. He looks cute!

Our Little Slugger!

This is Aaron's first year in Tee Ball. This is his first year doing any kind of sport. He did flag football which he liked but it seams like he likes tee ball a lot more. Today they had their first game along with Opening Ceremonies and Pictures that immediately followed. Boy was it hot!!!! It felt like 100 degrees outside but the boys enjoyed it. You should have seen Aiden's cheecks they looked like strawberry's.... White boys don't belong outside (LOL). The team is called "Blue Dawgs"! I'm new to the whole baseball thing. They first start off with a preseason tournament then regular games then mid season tournament, regular games again, then a final tournament. O' and then All Stars.... I think I got it right... Anyways here's a little slide show for entertainment!!! Go Blue Dawgs!!!! I hope they have a good season!!!!!!

My First Tooth!

A little something for his baby book!!! On Monday, March 10th my BIG baby boy lost his first tooth!!! It was all mommy's fault. I went to the mall for shopping ofcourse and on the way home I bought popcorn and pickle for the boyz; they love popcorn & pickle. When Aaron bit into his pickle out came his tooth!!! Okay, he's suppose to be a big boy, but he cried once he saw blood... It's such a mile stone when the first tooth falls, he's not mommy's little baby, he's a BIG boy!!!!

Rodeo time!!!

This was Aiden's first year to the Live Stock Show and he had a blast with his big brothers by his side! We arrive about 10 til 6pm and did not leave until about 11pm. The boys got on some rides but they just LOVED the animals. Aiden was not scared at all! We went down each row showing them the animals and then visted the Petting Zoo... They did not want to leave. It was so cute Aiden was giving kisses to the little animals and feeding them with his hand. We really enjoyed the Rodeo this year with our boys. It was kinda pricey but we had a lot of fun! Here's a peak of the boys with the animals and at the Petting Zoo!

Here are the boys having some fun at the carnival! Oh... Aiden took a picute with a monkey "George". George was soooo cute! We (Aaron, Alec & me) rode a rollacoster!!! It was a family rollacoster but it had it's big drops and it was fast. Aaron was a big boy and rode in the fron seat by HIMSELF! whoa!!!! he!he!

Way to go!!! It's time for change!
