Happy Birthday 4 Year Old Aidan!!!

Look who's 4 today!!! Aidan!!! I chose my Beauty and the Beast cake all by myself-it's a good movie you know. I put all the candles on myself too-lots of blue ones. I started my day with walking into daycare announcing "Birthday Boy." I was ready for all the attention I deserve today with my special day!
Look at how hard I tried to blow out all the candles! It took a while, but I got them out, even without too much spit!

It took a while for Liam to smile-he wanted to touch the candles, but then I think he remembered after the picture is eating the cake-his favorite part! He was very excited to have it be my birthday today too! He loves a party!

Daddy wore the best shirt he has for my birthday-I told Mommy I want one too! Daddy even ordered me a pizza for my birthday dinner! It was so yummy. I got a lot of birthday phone calls too tonight with lots more Happy Birthday wishes-what a great day and I'm so glad to be 4!

We Love Fall!

We visited the apple orchard this weekend! Liam and I love apples and we picked the most yummy ones we could see. I even found this big bin already full of apples and told Mommy we needed a picture by it. How cute!
I practically picked this many apples, and taste tested half of them. Mommy said I couldn't take just 4 bites and throw it away but there were so many apples all around it seemed okay to me.

The apple orchard man had wagons for our Daddy to give us a ride in. It was a good idea, cause after picking all the apples Liam and I needed a rest to enjoy our snack.

Daddy told me to find the big apples so I would grab them and put them in our apple bag. It was so fun!

Liam was just loving the apples! He wasn't feeling good this weekend but really liked being outside and eating this treat with Daddy.

He sure loved his apple!

Daddy lifted me way way up high to reach a really big yummy green apple on this tree. I was very proud and said Hi to my neighbor Makenna who was also picking apples with her family. They were all impressed by me!

Mommy had fun teaching Liam how to grab the apples to pick. He doesn't remember coming here last year cause he was just a tiny baby in the stroller. This year was much more fun!

Here's Liam showing off how he's learning to be a daredevil. Mommy tells me I used to do silly stuff like this too. Liam will even bounce his legs when he's standing on his horse and doesn't even fall off!

Daddy and I were relaxing in the morning watching a show. Sometime we are really best buds, but sometimes not. Mommy was happy to get a picture of one of those best bud times.

Last weekend Grandma Madonna came to play with us so Liam showed her how he's becoming a farmer like Grandpa is. He thought he'd put his most important thing in his wagon-his bottle. What a smart farmer!

Grandma came to play so Mommy and Daddy could stain our deck and fix the fence and playset. I got to help Daddy stain the fence that was fixed. I told Mommy I couldn't smile because I had to concentrate. Work is serious business.

Liam was enjoying the sun last weekend and showed Grandma how good he is at playing catch. He loves throwing all the different kinds of balls we have at home.

He also loves climbing up and down stairs so spent some time on the deck before Mommy and Daddy blocked him out so they could fix it up. Can you see how much Liam looks like me! Mommy can sure tell in this one. If he didn't have his red hair, she'd probably forget who was who!

Lots of Pictures!

This last weekend we had a birthday party for Liam and Aidan. Liam found his love of cake-or at least frosting! He couldn't get enough!
Cousin Reid was a good boy during the party, but I think he thought Mommy should forget the picture-he was ready to go home by the afternoon. He did give us some good smiles too though, not for the camera.

Liam did not find it fun waiting for Grandpa John to light the candles. He was ready for cake right away.

I picked out Liam and my cake-John Deere tractor cupcake cake this year. Last year I had red tractors like Grandpa Kevin likes-this year green like Grandpa John likes.

Liam was excited to see all my presents and his too. He is starting to like farming like I do so checked out my new hay wagon.

I got this great new bulldog hat from Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Tanya. Liam loves this too. We both got such nice presents-farming toys (red and green), little tractors and baby cars, and new Star Wars shirts for us both and jammies for Liam. We are very lucky little boys.

Baby Reid is learning to hold hands so I helped him practice with Grandpa Kevin.

Grandma Madonna brought me a pinata. Yes Daddy and I used our light sabers to break it down-then Justin told me to stomp on it when it was on the ground. Can you belive I didn't hesitate?

What a great pinata! It went perfect with my farm cake.

I found a new fun thing-tatoos! Here is my first tatoo-Star Wars. Could I look any tougher? No one messes with me at daycare!

A couple weeks ago we were back in MN to see my family-here's baby Reid enjoying a stroller ride on the farm.

Liam and I loves visiting the farm. Grandpa Kevin and Grandma Madonna always love to see us too.

Liam and I cuddled on the hammock and a comfy blanket. Liam was not quite as into cuddling as I was.

Both my Uncle Andy and Uncle Matt were back in MN too. Here all us nephews of theirs got together for a picture. Baby Reid was not as excited as Liam and I, but he is pretty little yet!

Aunt Krystal came with Uncle Andy from AZ to see us and be in their friend's wedding. They were happy to see us and we were happy to see them too!

They brought me this awesome square baler for my farm. What a great present! Andy was a good farmer when he was little too so knows all the good stuff a farmer needs.

Andy and Krystal hadn't seen Liam in a while and couldn't believe how big he got.

Mommy decided to paint our kitchen a few weeks ago-Daddy practiced first. I know what this says!

One more summer fun thing-sweet corn! We sure love it and I'm getting to be really good at eating it-just like Mommy does.

Liam had his first sweet corn this summer too-of course he loved it like he loves everything! What a fun summer we had!
