The Pony Farm

We went to the pony farm and petting zoo. Ayden was very interested in the animals as usual. He wasn't sure about petting the goats and didn't care for the one that was on the platform. He had fun playing in the dirt and the play houses. He rode a pony and was hesitant at first but once the horse got going he held on and was a big cowboy!

Our Trip to San Jose

Make a Smilebox slideshow

We went to San Jose to visit our friends Danzil and Jayme.

We went to Napa and to a children's museum.

We had a blast!

Ayden is 18 months old!

Well I decided I would give photography a try. Instead of taking Ayden to a studio we took photos ourselves. I can't believe he is 18 months old already. Terrible two's here we come :)

Halloween

We spent Halloween in CO. It was a lot of fun despite the cold. We dressed up as Disney's The Incredibles. I made all of our costumes this year. I think Aydens came out the best. Ayden had a blast knocking on peoples doors and getting candy. He said and signed thank you a couple time and wanted to go into everyones house. Especially if they had dogs :) After the first couple houses he was running and dragging mom and dad to the next house. Earlier that day we went on Banjo Billy Bus Tour of Boulder CO. We listened to ghost stories and murder mysteries for my uncle Doug's birthday. It was really fun and extra bumpy so Ayden had a great time sleeping on the bus :) It was so much fun and I can't wait till next Halloween!

Our trip to cold CO

We took a trip to see my dad and step mom in Denver Colorado. We were lucky that we made it there as there was a huge snow storm that started the night before we left. If we had been on the flight right after us we would have been stuck in Vegas. So Ayden's first experience with snow was pretty funny. He didn't like it the first time. I assume it's because he was cold and Aric only took him out there for a min. Once we got him a snow suit and boots and mittens he had a blast! We also went to the butterfly pavilion and he loved it. He would bend down to get as close to the butterflies as he could. Too cute! He had fun putting grandma Yvonne's boots on and needed daddys help to walk. We took him out on a sunny day to play in the snow again and build a snow man. He helped daddy push and pack the snow. He really caught on quick. He didn't want to come in and that is why he is crying in the last picture.

Cupcakes for Grandma!

We celebrated my moms 53rd birthday on the 26th. I was making cupcakes and let Ayden pour all the ingredients into the bowl (with assistance) Ayden then got his step stool, opened the drawer and took out a whisk. He then decided that he was going to stir the batter just like he had seen me do. It was too cute. Then he watched them bake. He couldn't wait to eat one when the waitress brought them out after dinner. And yes I did torture my mom and put 53 candles on the cupcakes :)

Pre Halloween Fun

We decorated pumpkins and cookies and did a Halloween art project. Ayden loves to paint and loves the glitter. He has become so much fun in the past month. Starting to talk and he uses sign language. It is super hard for me to say no when he walks up and signs please and says "ease." Not to mention he looks up at you with his big blue eyes when he does it. He is just too cute for his own good!
