AIDAN PHOTO UPDATE

Bryan wanted to have these made from Aidan`s six month portrait since we have so many family members that live so far away. I just think they`re adorable and couldn`t resist putting one on here. Tinyprints.com has awesome stuff!

CHRISTMAS CARD 2008

I figured that since there was no way I could send out a Christmas card to everybody that we know(which would add up to at least two hundred cards) that I would share it here.

BRYAN AND AIDAN: SO MUCH ALIKE

Bryan and Aidan must be secretly planning these things; otherwise, how would all of these identical pictures keep popping up?

What`s For Dinner?

Tonight Anna, Jackson, and Colton dropped by for a short visit while Jill ran some errands, and Bryan helped out by entertaining Aidan while I kept an eye on the other three. We have this large stockpot that is just tall enough for Aidan to pull up on and drum on, so it sometimes stays in the living room. Jackson and Colton were entertained by it as well tonight, and were climbing in and out of it and Jackson was talking about cooking both Aidan and Colton in it. I was occupied with Colton in the living room, so Bryan came and picked up Aidan and the pot and walked out of the room(or so I thought.) This is what I saw a minute later when I turned around. If they do stuff like this when I`m around, what do they do when I`m not?

USC MEN`S BASKETBALL

AWESOME JOB GUYS!!

Bryan joined this organization called the Bridge Club, that helps with the transfer from a technical school to a four year university, and they gave us tickets to last night`s USC basketball game against NC Central. It was Aidan`s first ever basketball game, and he was excited. We were too, because we love basketball and we beat them 90-43. GO GAMECOCKS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKSON!!

Jackson, the little boy that I was feeding baby food to last week, turned five yesterday. There was the usual birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, which I have a funny story to share about. Chuck E. comes walking over towards where Jackson and I are playing a game, and I point him out to Jackson and he goes running over to hug him. I`m standing there behind him as he does so, and then he tells Chuck E., "This is my aunt Telly. You need to hug her." in that adorable five year old accent. Jackson thought that it was hilarous that Chuck E. and I hugged. More details: Anna beat me at skeeball again, like she does every year, but then I beat Bryan by 14,000 points(sheer luck, I`ll admit it) Justin and Ashley collected enough tickets to get a prize for about 100 kids, and Aidan and Colton loved the Chuck E. ride. Emily and Courtney ran around all night and looked at everything, but the thing they really liked(I think Rachael liked it more than them, because it reduced the amount of time she had to chase them) was this big seat you climb up into and lay back and watch a TV screen. It figures....those girls love TV.
