Merry Christmas!

Aiden making Cooper laugh!

Random Pictures!

Summer is Over...

Its time to say goodbye to summer and grab a jacket and a hat! Here's a few pics to bid adieu!

Aiden and Kata Finger Paint!

As Aiden was diving elbow deep into the paint, Katarina needed a little less messy approach! She was much tidier to begin with the paint brush. By the end they both had paint from head to toe which naturally ended in a trip to the bath tub! Good thing kids wash up so well :o)

Cooper and His Veggies/Fruits

Cooper has been watching everyone eat for a LONG time now, and around 5 months old we decided it was time to give him rice cereal. Well, it went really well. He makes yummy noises all the time, and so naturally I figured he would be ready for fruits and veggies in the coming weeks. So right around 6 months I break out the veggies. It was a NO GO! He gagged and made awful faces with the peas! Here are pictures of him trying to eat applesauce! I know it was mean, but I kept giving him bites to get the pictures. It was too funny! haha!

Now we are sitting pretty at 6 1/2 months and he decided two days ago that he is ready to eat his purees! He downed a full jar of veggies, and a full jar of fruit! Way to Go Cooper! Now he's making yummy noises all over the place!

Spring Hill Horse Show 2009

So, every year, the Spring Hill Lion's Club sponsers a horse show at Evan's park. The kids love it. They get to see tons of horses, and play, but most of all, they get to "compete" in the STICK HORSE category. Of course there is no real competition, everyone gets a blue ribbon. Who could choose any ways right? Well....Aiden is pretty cute! hehe! This is a tradition that has gone through all of the Cornwall grandkids. We have pics of Katelyn doing her first Stick Horse Show when she was 3ish. Gavin is still going strong at 6!

Well, I had prepped him all day long about the horse show. He was so excited! Around 2 o'clock we headed to Target to choose a horse. Well, the competition was tough....there was one and only one to chose from! So, we bought it! hehe! It was super cute though, and it even made galloping and neighing sounds!

As soon as we got there, we met up with Gavin and Heather for our number, and Gavin showed Aiden how to ride his stick horse. My mom had asked me if he was going to ride it, and I told her, no, I thought he'd trip on it. No way no sir, no tripping at all!!! He took right to it and immediately started saying "Giddie Up, Giddie Up!" It was soooo cute! I on the other hand immediately became a lunatic stage mom *hiding*! I was snapping pictures like it was nobody's business and ran around to get the best shot while he was in the arena! hehe! My kids will love me when they are older LOL!

Here he is getting ready to go!

Lined up and waiting patiently!

I'm not sure what he is looking at here?!

I know this picture is distant, but its him on the far right in the arena!

Mom helping Cooper ride!

My big Boy!

After the show, we were on our way home, he kept saying...Momma, I numba 2! hehe!

What a good lookin' BLUE RIBBON winner!

HE PEE PEED ON THE POTTY!!!

Way to Go Aiden!!!! We are sooo proud of him! After a long time of trying to convince him to pee pee on the potty, he finally went! He went like 3 months ago, and would never go again. Josh has even put a jar of jelly beans (his fav) on the back of the big toilet to give him when/if he potties. Well, the beans weren't doing it and so we started giving beans just for sitting on the potty. We have had ALOT of sitting on the potty in the last couple days. Well tonight Josh was giving him a bath and sat him on the potty before, and gave him a bean. Then, while Aiden was in the tub he wanted more beans :o) This time Josh told him he had to pee pee in the potty to get beans. And, lo and behold HE DID IT! Yay Aiden! He even stood up and danced, singing Pee Pee on the Potty!!!! Cross your fingers for potty success in the morning!

We are Going to the Beach!!

I am soooo excited! We are heading off to the beach Labor Day weekend!
I haven't been since Aiden was 4 months old, and we didn't know before going down there, but it was red tide that month. We coughed and coughed and couldn't stand to be on the sand even. Josh and I haven't been to the beach together since our HONEYMOON! This should be super fun! We are ALL going! Travis and Jess will come in on Tuesday, Mom and Dad will go down on Saturday, and we have to decide a day to drive down with the boys. I am hopefull that we could go at bed time and they would sleep! Fingers Crossed!!

Anyways, Mom has booked a condo at this place called SPLASH! It looks like a lot of fun! There is a mini indoor water park, 2 pools, a splash pad, a lazy river, and of course right out the doors is the BEACH! I can't wait to see my Boys enjoy the water! I will post pictures when we come home!

For now, here are some pics of the complex!

Pool Time!

Our new(ish) rec center has a great kid's pool and the other day we took Aiden and Cooper to meet up with Heather and Gavin! It was super fun! In fact by the end Aiden was so cold his whole body was shaking yet he refused to stop "paying!" We finally had to take him out in tears when his lips turned purple! Both boys really really enjoyed themselves, and to top it off, they were with Gavin, which if you read the previous post, you would know that in itself makes

Aiden's world sooooo much better!
