Apple Picking - 2011

Today Emily, Nana M, Skye, Aidan, Aubrey and I went to CN Smith Farm for some apple picking!

The kids looked so thrilled to be getting their pictures taken.

My handsome little guy!

Loading up with apples!

Eating lots of apples!

Aidan was our picker, and he did a great job! He went in and got all the tough ones to find.

He filled up our whole bag! (and then made me carry it)

Today was such a great day (except for the 80 degree temps and humidity!)

Apple picking is a favorite family tradition!!

Last boating day of the season

We are sad another summer has flown by. Our last boating day of the season was the beginning of September. We had a great day out on the lake with the Smith family. We got lots of swimming, boarding, and tubing in before the day was over.

Walk in the neighborhood

School!

On Mondays Aidan has preschool and I wanted to get a quick picture before he left. He wasn't too thrilled about it. Pretty soon the school year will be over... time is flying by!
Aidans first birthday invite from school. A little girl in his class invited Aidan to her Build a Bear party!!

Here's some things Aidan made last week at school:

Ireally like Aidans school and they teach them so much. Since he will have 3 years of preschool he only goes once a week now. He has learned so much in the past year, I can't wait to see all that he learns starting in September when he goes 3 days!!

Aidan LOVES driving the boat! Joe is nice enough to let Aidan help him drive. Great day for some kite flying!

Today we went to the little carnival in the center of town. We saw it from the street, so when Aidan spotted the helicopters, it was the fisrt ride he wanted to go on. Mom, Dad, and Aidan on the Merry Go Round.

Aidan played a shooting game and won this dart gun.

It was FINALLY a warm, sunny day and we were ready to take full advantage.

We ad been waiting for a nice day to go to the zoo.

Because sometimes we have so much fun.. we pass out in random places..

Preschool Christmas Recital

Poor Aidan did not want to participate, and when Santa came in the room, he hid under a chair.
