The little mister is ONE! We have enjoyed having him in our family this past year. He brings so much joy and laughter! We all love him dearly and look forward to many more years with him!
Shailee is getting better at coloring! These are just a few of her pictures she colored today!
September 3
Aiden wanted to say good morning to Shailee! So cute, and I love the bond that they have!
Later that day, we went to the park! Shailee is getting more and more brave. She will go climbing and down slides by herself! I don't have to help too much!
Aiden just enjoying the swing!
September 5
We had Aiden's One Year Birthday Party up at Idaho. We stayed with the Williams, but had the party at the McCulloch's. This is Aiden and cousin Vinny playing with the horse.
Playing with the ball. He loves balls too!
The other kids were just as excited if not more, to open Aiden's birthday presents!
Big Sister Shailee helping open presents.
Playing with one of his new toys!
He got a car and really wanted to play with it!
Bennett telling Aiden all about the toy that he got him.
Eating his birthday cupcake! He liked the frosting! He didn't like getting in the tub to wash up. We made it a quick bath and once he was dressed he was happy again! Aiden had a great birthday. Thanks to everyone who came and made it fun!
Me and the girls! We try and get pictures whenever we get together.
Sam, Monica, me and Ila (she is due in October!)
Later that night, a lady my mom works with invited us out to see her baby raccoons. The mother raccoon had been hit by a car and they found the babies out in their yard. So they have been taking care of them.
They were pretty cute. A few days later they took them to Boise. There was a place there that will rehabilitate wild animals to learn to live in the wild again. Once they "graduate" they will return them to this lady's property and they will live there.
A little out of order. This was at the party. We had mustache photo props and Wes took some selfies with them!
September 7
We went to get Shailee up and found her like this. She slept in Aunt Jamie's bed, upstairs all weekend! She did so good and we were so proud of her!
Back home later that day. She loves to color now that I got her markers!
She looks so proud of herself!
September 8
I decided to make a homemade ball pit for the kids! They loved it! I know Aiden's face doesn't show that but he did!
Shailee too!
This was the first time she has ever drawn a smiley face, and she drew several! She is learning so much and I couldn't be prouder!
Wearing silly glasses while mom is at therapy!
Aiden joined in the fun!
My sweet hubby! I love him so much!
September 9
Shailee's first day of pre-school! She was so excited!
She's so darn cute! And growing up so much! She cried when I dropped her off at school. She didn't want me to leave. But her teacher just came over, picked her up and I left. When I picked her up, Miss Cindi (her teacher) said after about 5 minutes she was fine! The next day, she didn't even cry, it was an easy drop off!
Aiden and I enjoying the outdoors while Shailee is in school. It took us a few days, but we figured out a schedule that works for us!
September 10
Shailee drew on her walls with dry erase markers. She didn't get in trouble because we never told her she couldn't do that. So this is her piece of art!
September 11
Aiden got a forward facing car seat as part of his birthday present! He looks so grown up in it!
He travels much better now and is much happier to be able to see out!
September 12
Wes's work party. As usual, held at Lagoon. It was so much fun and Nana and Papa got to come with us this time!
Shailee riding a ride all by herself! She was so proud of herself and so were we! A big step for Shailee who is very shy!
Nana went on lots of rides with Shailee and she loved it!
Riding the train with Nana. We were off riding a few rides ourselves!
We rode the ferris wheel as a family. At first, Shailee was nervous that it was so high up, but she did eventually get used to it and ended up loving it!
All tuckered out after a long day at Lagoon.
Even Aiden was out!
Thanks for a fun day Nana and Papa!
September 13
Aiden's ONE year photo shoot! I had my parents bring up some of my dad's old trucks that he played with as a kid, and so did I!
This is the one we chose to put up on our wall.

Jacey and Tiger...they love each other!
September 16
This is what we do sometimes when the sister is in school and it's raining outside. We climb on the couch of course!
September 17
I took the kids to story time at the library and Aiden enjoyed looking at some new books.
Miss Shailee showing her independence and sitting by herself listening to the stories.
September 18
After picking Shailee up from school, we went to a park to play! Aiden loves to explore!
Lots of rain lately and there was a big puddle of water in the lawn of the park! It was pretty cool and lots of fun to walk through it and Shailee enjoyed splashing!
September 19
I bought some magic erasers and cleaned Shailee's wall with them. They work like magic! Haha, but seriously they do! Shailee wanted to help.
That afternoon we were driving around and saw that there was a safety fair going on and they had free hot dogs. So we stopped and walked through and got our free lumch!
September 20
Playing in the park one Sunday evening.
September 23
Shailee learned about Johnny Appleseed in school and they got to make a pot hat! So cute!
September 26
Aiden found a piece of licorice and enjoyed himself before we found him!
My couch. Thankfully it came out nicely!
We went to Home Depot and they had some riding lawn mowers outside. Wes and Shailee went to go find a shopping cart that was a car and both kids could sit in it. So we played on these while we waited!
September 28
This kid is so busy! He is always on the move and into things! So different from how Shailee ever was and still is. This particular day he found my stash of feminine products lol!
