Happy 3rd Birthday Aidan!

Aidan had a hot wheels themed party this year - and it was FUN!

 



The Oven's On Fire!

Steve's Facebook Post - Destre's baked potatoes almost "baked" our house. Thank you Parker Fire Department!

Tonight our oven (the heating element inside) caught on fire. I'm not sure if it really was the baked potatoes or the just the general age of the oven... I'm going with the latter. We had two fire trucks, a fire emergency vehicle and the cops out. Aidan was thrilled, as he was able to sit in the driver's seat of the fire truck and get fire dept stickers. I'm thrilled, because now we have a new oven (I hated the other)!

3 Years Old = Mini Mites Soccer

Aidan will start soccer in March and we have been getting really excited!

He's been practicing and wearing all his soccer apparel - all the time...

Before Bed

For Church
(Note: he didn't end up wearing this to church;
but we appreciate his expression of independence and desicion making)
