Aiden, Aiden and more Aiden in this post...

Aiden is quite our little character!  He loves to sing and play instruments. Check out the video!  We're potty training him right now - things are progressing but it is hard to believe that he's old enough to be potty trained! In a couple weeks, we are going to attempt putting him an underwear -awk! Aiden can often put on his own shoes now.  I'm not sure which is worse - the 2's or the 3's... but he's giving us a run for our money at times.  He's very passionate about a lot of things... like art, music, about bugging his brother...  His smile is infectious and his temper is difficult to deal with at times. 
Check out also how Aiden moves his potty around depending on whose going potty...

Grandma got Aiden to sit on his new potty during our trip! He gets m&m for each time he goes!

With Aiden's hair being so long, I can make it stand up in the bath tub.

His hair is getting so long...

Jamaica me crazy

Well, I have only downloaded half of my photos so I can't share alot of good ones but to get a glimpse of beautiful weather, awesome friends, plentiful cocktails and lots and lots of food... We were thankful to have  Justin's Mom come to stay wtih us for a few days so we can take off to a Carribean island. Seems fair right?  We get all inclusive fun in the sun and Judy gets quality one-on-one time with her grandsons, ha!
While in Jamaica - our friend Brian took part in a beer chugging contest - he got second place, might have done better had he not drank so much prior.  Teresa sampled many different types of drinks coming to the conclusion that both our favorite was the Strawberry Daiquaris...  We did take a few shots while being there - not the shots that involve cameras or guns but the drinking kind.  We took advantage of the resort's activities and went kanoeing although Justin did not fair well in that activity.  We also rented a taxi cab and went down to the local market place and haggled for souvenirs.  Some of us faired better then others with this....ha! Two of most enjoyable activities was floating down the gorgeous Dunn's River tubing and then off to climbing and actually climbing the Dunn's River Falls.  I will definitely post pics of this once I get them from our friends!!  Anyway, the travel time to and from were long but we look forward to our next Adventure with them!  Should we say 'the outback'?  For dinner that is... ha!

Check out a few pics. I will try to update once I download more photos!

Joshua's Rainbow Picture

I was unwrapping an oil painting that I got framed this morning and noticed two large pieces of white card board that was attached to each side. I thought of the idea to let the boys create something on each of them.  Joshua drew the attached.  He wanted to draw a rainbow and cut out clouds. I had him write The Rainbow since the ‘th’ sound is this week’s word at school.  Aiden used the dinosaur stamps on his and called it the dinosaur park! He scribbled on the other side.

Aiden at McDonald's and celebrating his 3rd Birthday

Aiden turned 3 this past March and he's still quite the character!!  The other day (April 5th) he was sitting at the dinner table with his two cell phones (Justin's old flip phone and play cell phone) and he 'took a call' during dinner.  He held the phone close to his ear with his head bent down and quietly whispered 'I can't talk right now, I'm having dinner'... 'call you back later' and hung up. Justin and I just looked at each other and smiled. He can be difficult and stubborn at times and hilarious others!  We've started potty training thanks to Grandma Neroda getting him started during our trip to Jamaica. He's done fairly good with it at home but isn't going at daycare yet.  But it's early yet...  The fun begins!
Enjoy some pictures from his and mine joint birthday celebration and the picture that Justin took of him at McDonald's a few weeks back when Nana was visiting.
