Baseball, Snow & the Famous Chicken

On the rare cool (80 degree) night during this hot Texas summer, we headed out to the local ball park. There was all kinds of fun things going on. Out front, they had a snow hill for sledding, a pile of snow for snowball fights and snow cones. Check out the awesome video of Aidan going down the hill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8umoNTBIMg I still can't believe he wasn't scared.
Also the 'Famous Chicken' was in town. Thank goodness he finally came out in the third inning because if I heard "Where is the chicken?" one more time, I might have gone insane. Aidan really enjoyed him though and clarified many times that it was just a guy dressed like a chicken.

Sneak Peek...

Since I have been measuring so small during this pregnancy, we have been having monthly sonograms to check the baby's size. Everything looks good so far and she is measuring right at average size for her age. Here are some of the 4D images from our appointment yesterday. Only eight more weeks to go...

Fore!

Darren took Aidan to play his first round of golf on Friday.

Summer Fun

Aidan participated in the week of Summer Fun at the mall again this year. One day he got to design a pizza box and make his own pizza.

I was impressed with how well he wrote his own name on the box.
Adding some sauce
The finished product

Another day he twisted his own pretzel

On Friday, we headed to the ballpark to catch some Twins vs Rangers. Darren 'caught' his first ever home run ball at a MLB game - Josh Hamilton's home run. Even though we were pulling for the Twins that night, we kept the ball anyway :)

One, two, three strikes you're out

Welcome our newest additions...

UP and DOWN! Aidan has been asking a lot about pets lately so we decided it was time for his first fish. He picked the names Up and Down by himself and can tell the two fish apart. It is so cute to watch him talk to the fish and make sure they each eat some flakes when he feeds them.

They are not the most photogenic fish but Up is on the top (with the white belly) and down is below (naturally).

Cow Day

Yes, I made my son dress up like a cow in order to get a free lunch today. In my defense, he really had fun and enjoyed swishing his tail around.

Happy Father's Day

Thanks for being such a great Daddy!!
