Aaron turns 4!!!!

So Aaron's b-day was this past weekend. Ever since Michael's b-day he's been asking me almost every day when his birthday was. So it was finally here, which he was so excited about. So he LOVES spiderman right now (so like his dad), so that was the theme he chose. He wanted a spiderman cake, and I went to Walmart to look and the one they had was $20. Well, being the chepo I am, I decided I would try and make one. For future reference, Josh told me to buy the icing and not make it, cause he said it was gross. Oh well, we aren't big cake eaters anyway.

So the night before, after Aaron was asleep, Josh and I sat up and blew up over a hundred balloons. It took forever....j/k. We cheated and used Josh's air compressor. Thank heavens for that!! He woke up the next morning and opened his door, and there they all were. He loved it! Only that they kept popping and scaring him, so Josh gave him one of those gun ear muffs, and after that he was jumping up and down in them.

So after breakfast, I started frosting his cake. It took me 3 hours, and it turned out looking better than I hoped, but I'm not sure if it was worth my time. But it looked way cooler than the one from Walmart.

His party started at 1, and we weren't sure who all was going to show up, but he had 2 friends from the ward and his two cousins come, along with other family.

So I tried to organize a couple games with the kids, but they were more interested in just playing in his room with the toys, then playing games. But we did play "pin the web on spiderman's enemies" (like pin the tail on the donkey), and hide-and-go-seek, easter egg hunt, and a scavenger hunt. They had fun, though it was hard to keep them focused. We had cake and ice cream and then he opened his presents. Overall he had alot of fun, and at the end of the day he said, ok mom now it's going to be your birthday. I can't believe he is 4 now. He's been so excited for his birthday to come, and he keeps saying that when he turns five he can go to school. I hope he stays that excited for school in years to come.

How time flies......

So my mom called me the other day and reminded me that I still haven't given her a updated pix of Aaron and a pix of Kylee for her wall. So i was going through my pictures trying to come up with some. I have tons of Aaron, but not any that have good backgrounds and that i would like to see hanging on a wall. Except for a couple that Ben took I really liked but never got around to printing out. But I was looking at those and realized in six months he looks so different. So i pulled out the camera and had Aaron put on his church shirt (he was still in his pajama bottoms for the pix, lazy me). The pictures aren't anything fancy, but I loved both their smiles, so I thought I would share.
