Halloween

Aiden was a great big scary dinosaur this year. Well he thought he was big and scary, but in reality he was so sweet and cuddly. I thought he was sooo cute. He loved it so much. I totally love the fact that he loves to dress up. Last year I had a hard time keeping the costume on and this year he never wanted it off. He loved trick or treating and wants to put his costume on and go get candy every night!

We Moved!

Our new home is in Oro Valley for now. We really love it up here. However, there are pros and cons moving into an apartment. Obviously there is less space, but we have AC! I am no longer depressed when I think about standing in the kitchen cooking in front of a hot stove while the house is 85 degrees. Giving up the space in exchange for AC is totally worth it I think.
We live in a cozy two bedroom off Magee. We are in the Coronado Ward but haven't been yet. We find ourselves going back to our old ward where my family is. But starting October 1st we will be on our own in a new ward. It is going to be something new to me. I have been in my parents ward since birth. I have just never moved far enough away. We are excited though and look forward to getting new callings and sending Aiden to a new nursery with new friends.
I am just about done packing and organizing. I still have a few more things to hang on the walls to really make it home-ey (sp). I will post pictures soon!

Catch Up...

I am so horrible at this blogging stuff. I love reading everyone else's blogs and getting a little peek into your lives. It just seems like our life doesn't have very many exciting things going on. However, we have had a very busy summer. Since our last post, Easter came and went. Gotta give you a peek of his cute little outfit.

In May our family went to Apache Lake for two seperate weekends. We love the lake so much, the best part is the boat. Aiden loves tubing with his aunts and uncle. He is like a big kid out on the water. Denny brought his best friend Johnny who we all love. This was his last official lake trip because he left on his mission to Chile just a month after we got home. I would have to say that the highlight of the trip may have been this gigantic dump truck we saw on the side of the road in Globe. We got out and Aiden was sooo excited. We took a picture of him standing in front of it and he looks at it all the time. He is so tiny next to this monsterous thing.

In June we went to Sea World with our best friends' the Summerhays. My BFF Amanda was 33 weeks pregnant when we went. We took advantage of the prettiness of the Ocean and took her maternity portraits at La Jolla Cove. It is So Beautiful there. Sea World was a blast. Aiden and his friend Brendan loved the fish and the dolphins. They loved watching the shows. I love the picture of Aiden looking into the glass. Look close... There is a polar bear in the midst. Oh so precious.

Just two weeks after we got home from California we left for Eric's family reunion in Salt Lake. We went to a temple open house while we were up there. It was so beautiful, especially the chandeliers throughout the whole Temple. The temple is the Mt. Okar. Not sure if I spelled that right, but in any case it is jaw dropping gorgeous. There were also fabulous views, the Temple was built on this great hill in the middle of a fancy neighborhood that I wouldn't mind living in. There is a stake center right across from it. It is so nice for those homeowners in the area, because instead of a park for the neighborhood to share they have a TEMPLE. From the front of the temple you can also look out and see two more Temples. The Draper and River Jordan Temple are not far.

On our way home from Utah we drove through Vegas. We had never been there before so we stopped and stayed a night. It was so much fun to walk the strip and visit all the cool site. Aiden really loved the water show at the Bellagio Hotel. And I love the picture of the Eiffel tower Eric shot.

Whew! I am glad this is all over and updated. I will try to keep more current from now on. Hope you enjoyed!
