Dress Like a Pirate Day

Today at school was Pirate Day. And I had a beard on, and I also played with my friends, and I also played downstairs. I love my momma and I'm so great to see my mom. I made a pirate flag, and I ate my pirate sandwich, and I also got a coin, and I also got ANOTHER pirate flag! That's so much fun. Well, I'm so great to see my mom and I'm already at home and I'm done with preschool. So, I love my mom. Bye, love you.

Love, Aidan

Baby's Blog Post

My mom is 21 1/2 weeks along. Some days are good, and some days she just feels yucky. Yesterday I kicked her so hard somewhere near her belly button that it scared her! I seem to be sitting higher in her stomach than the boys did. Night time is already getting a bit difficult for Mom to stay comfortable!Love, Baby

Our mom is having a baby. I am thinking of a name. Maybe Jane? Elizabeth? Bella? That is my favorite one.

I have FUN at Fun Time Inflatables! It is so fun. There is a huge huge huge slide you go down so fast on a picture it's so crazy. You can't even see us it's so crazy. We went with our friends and we kind of played together and it was kind of fun. The thing that was so fun was the obstacle course big slide. It was fun! At first you dunk or jump, then the next ones you jump jump, go through, jump, dunk, and then jump, and then you climb up a ladder, then you slide down the slide. And right in the middle, from the rope and the slide, was a heater so it was hot up there. I beat my older friend on a fun game, and it's hard. Air hockey.Love, Ethan

I did my whole puzzle. It was kind of long. But I keeped working on it. I did it all by myself and no help but kind of memorizing them. So I taked some pictures, but some of them were not great. Some were weird and stuff so I have just finished the puzzle right now and then I'm going to take a picture of it BUT I already taked a picture of it.

I like playing out in the snow. And I like shoveling it. And I like going on the four wheeler and going on the snow on the four wheeler (he got a small ride from someone in the ward) so I just like the snow because it's just so fun to play with it! So I just like it. I love my family and when I'm done I just come in and play stuff with my whole family. (He spent almost four hours outside yesterday! We have about 10 inches of new snow.)I still like Fun Time Inflatables. I love it because it is so bouncy and slidy and we like to play stuff on it so I just like it because I love to play with it and I have just got home but probably a long time ago (Monday). I'm going there again.

We are Having a...

We took Ethan & Aidan to the ultrasound appointment this morning. The ultrasound tech asked us, "Do you want to know what you are having?" The boys said, "Yes, yes!" Then she said, "Well, are you ready to do something new and different at your house?"

It's a girl!!!

Christmas Pajamas

Aidan: We have pajamas and they are awesome. I have trains. Ethan has fire and dragons. And I LOVE them. They are so awesome and pretty, WOW. Thanks Nana. Bye. Love you.

Ethan: It was really cool that we got pajamas. And I got fire with dragons. And Aidan got trains, but not Thomas trains. It's just so cool. They fit a little bit big but I'm going to grow into them.


Love, Ethan and Aidan

Making Cookies for Santa

Aidan: We maked cookies for Santa.  I hope they be delicious for Santa because we maked them with love.  And I did 8. Ha ha ha. I love you Mama.  Bye.

Ethan: They are sugar cookies.  We did the cookie cutters ourselves, and we also frosted the cookies ourselves.  And it was fun.  And I frosted I think 13. 

Love, Ethan and Aidan

Gingerbread Houses

Ethan:  My gingerbread house was yummy.  I liked it.  I made it at 1st grade.  I like 1st grade. 

Aidan: I love gingerbread houses because they have lots of frosting on them, and candy.  I love you Mama.  Thanks for helping me make my gingerbread house Mama.  Bye bye.

(I went to help Ethan make his at school today.  They had a couple of extra houses, so they let Aidan make one too.  We all had so much fun!)

Love, Ethan and Aidan

Movement

Daddy felt me kicking for the first time last night.  Mommy felt me on Saturday.  I'm getting bigger every day! 

Love, Baby

Halloween Party and Carving Pumpkins

Ethan: We carved pumpkins. Do you like mine? Daddy helped me, and we made him look like a surfer dude. And we tied for first place at our halloween party at the church! We won some candy bars. I am going to be Optimus Prime for Halloween. Love, Ethan
Aidan: I'm going to be Bumblebee for Halloween, and it's so fun. But guess what? At the church I spilled something. Rootbeer all over my costume. And I love to play with Mama every day and she is the cutest mama in the whole wide world. I love you Mama. Love, Aidan

Yeehaw!

First Day of Preschool

Preschool was fun today. It was so fun. I learned that we could do things at school and that we can play at school. So, it was so fun. For a snack we had frosting, put the frosting on the apples, and put the marshmallows on the frosting, and then eat it. That sounds good, huh Mama. It does sound good.

You put sand in this thing and it dumps sand and it goes around and around and around. And there's another one too. It has two (an outside toy).

My teacher said we can't run in preschool, just walk. I didn't run, but some boys did.

There's this paint thing where you squeeze it and the paint comes up and then you put it on paper and there's these sponges where you stick your thumb in the sponge and put it on the paper.

Love, Aidan

Aidan having fun with Mom

Making cracked wheat bread with Mom

First Day of 1st Grade

First grade was fun. I had three recesses. They were long. I played a fun Star Wars game. I had chicken nuggets and green beans, and chocolate milk and some kind of juice drink/orange tangerine, it didn't taste very good. A few friends brang lunches, like Jack. I sat by Jack at lunch. It was fun.

We went everywhere in the school, except for the teachers' classes. The library, gym (P.E.), into the cafeteria before we ate lunch. We also went to music just to see it.

We watched a little show about books. We read one.

I have homework. I have to write my name and mom has to write about how I got my name.

My favorite part of the whole day was the cafeteria.

It seemed like a half day of regular kindergarten. My bus stop was the first bus stop, so I guess I'm always going to be first! I'm on bus 77. Jack is on 89. That is the least favorite part of the day.

I like first grade. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.

Love, Ethan
