Aaden J

Does EVERY mother feel that she has the cutest baby in the whole wide world??? because i most definitely feel that way ; ) (these are just a FEW pictures i took while trying to figure out just how to use my new shiny toy)

Camping in San Clemente

These pictures are a few weeks old but i still wanted to post them : ) We went on an over night camping trip to San Clemente State Beach with about seven other families from our ward & it was waaaaaaaay too fun! We all had a really good time. We got to the beach at about 6 then Steve set up our giant tent at the speed of light... scout camp paid off : ) then we cooked hot dogs over the camp fire for dinner. Of course those were followed by some smores! That night i was able to experience the joy & peace of rocking my baby to sleep with the waves crashing in the background & then falling asleep to the same sound with my sweetie : ) The next morning Steve made his first attempt at surfing... i wasn't there but i heard it was pretty interesting! We spent the whole rest of the day playing down at the beach but unfortunately i forgot my camera so no pictures of that : ( either way it was an awesome family trip that we'd LOVE to do again!!!!

My sweet visiting teacher pulled Aaden around in this little red wagon and he LOVED it! Her husband actually took all these pictures for us...thanks Don.

This is the sweet view from our camp sight! It does NOT get any better than this : )

HAPpY BirthDAy to ME...

Then after we had gone to sleep and woken up and it was REALLY my birthday my whole family went to Disneyland!!! This is my Dad with Aaden he's SUCH an awesome Grandpa : ) i love love love watching these two together.














Finally we got back to my parents and had this amazing ColdStone cake! It was red velvet cake with cake batter ice cream toped with a million sprinkles and some kit kats! Now THATS a party!!!!!!!!!!
