Favorite Quote of the Week

I love that Aidan is picking up on EVERYTHING we say. Whether I realize it or not, he hears it all and repeats it at some point thereafter. Like they say, he is a little sponge.

Yesterday before Aidan's nap, he was eating some peanut butter, honey, and mini chocolate chips all mixed together for a snack. He finished it up and said "More chocolate". To which I replied, "If you eat some banana, I'll get you a few more chocolate chips." He ate a couple bits of his banana, then looked at me and said, "Thank you for listening, Mommy."

So sweet. He makes me smile!

A Day With Thomas

Last weekend, the family went with Gran and Papa to A Day Out with Thomas the Train. We rode the train, played with some trains, got a train tattoo. It was tuns of fun.

School is in Session

This was the first week back in Preschool. Tuesday was half a day and Thursday was a full day. Aidan was not the only one to go to school this year. About 3 weeks ago, I got a call asking if I would like to teach the nursery class. So, I am the DCC preschool nursery teacher this year (this is Brody's class too). So I get to spend time with the boys, love on some sweet babies, and get a little extra money.

First day of school pics:

End of Summer

Over the last month or so, we've been enjoying the last of summer.

We went to the county fair. Aidan's favorite part were all the animals.

He didn't like all the loud noise, but he loved the chocolate covered strawberries on a stick. To rephrase, he liked the chocolate that covered the strawberries that were on a stick.

We played a lot inside, staying in our pjs all day long, when it was too hot to go outside.

Brody got his first cold. :(

We went to the Memphis Zoo...

in the rain...

for 5 hours!

We were with Nanny, Paw Paw, and Uncle Steven and had a blast.

One of his favorite parts of the day was "feeding" the birds. He really just liked to lour the birds in and then shake them until they flew away.

We visited with Aidan and Brody's great grandaddy.

A Visit with the Cousins

At the end of July, the boys and I went to Nanny and Paw Paw's house for a week long visit. Bethany and her boys were there too. While we were there we had a cousin photo shoot. Here are a few pictures taken on the Collierville town square. They turned out really cute. It was no easy task getting a picture of all 4 boys together.
