Elaina's 1st Birthday Oct 15th 2008

Elaina celebrated her first birthday on October 15, 2008. She was tickled pink to get pizza and strawberry cake all in the same night. She and Wynne enjoyed opening her presents, but most of all, playing with the balloons. After pizza, presents and cake we sat down to watch Fern Gully (which Wynne absolutely loves) overall, it was a pretty good party, especially for a first birthday. I must say, it was sad not having all of the nieces and nephews here to fight over spots to sit or the biggest piece of cake. lol. We sure do miss everyone, in fact this is the first birthday we have spent away from all the Aitchison cousins, kinda sad...and quiet. But overall we had a great time. Elaina's new thing is clapping, she just thrills herself every time she does it, its quite funny to watch.

Elaina showing off

Elaina is as cute as ever in her new high fashion boots, well, at least I love them. She is a happy little girl that loves to irritate her big brother. Some times she will go over to Wynne, roll on top of him, just to get a reaction out of him. They are so cute. She is finally at an age where her and Wynne play quite well together, they have alot of fun tackling each other. hmmm, I wonder who taught them that. I can not believe how fast they grow up. Wynne will be starting school before I know it. He asks me all the time when he will get to go to "kid school", since he has been to mommy's school several times, he knows that there is grown ups school, and kid school, it's actually quite funny.

Josh's B-Day

Josh is 33, woohoo!! It was a blast. We were able to celebrate with the whole crew, since we had his party as an "intermission" during the family reunion. Which by the way was totally awesome! It was so good to see everyone again. Josh had his very own all chocolate cake, with a BIG 33 on it ;). He seemed to like it, he got a cool chess set, a wireless mouse, a CD he wanted and some Spiderman sandwich bags for his work lunch. All in all it turned out to be a pretty good day. I sure do miss everyone, it's funny how much you appreciate what you have once it is gone. Well, we'll catch up later.

Couch Potatoes

Wynne and Elaina are having a blast playing around on the couch. I set them beside each other to get a cute posed picture of them smiling at me so dearly, but thye would no allow it. And I'm glad cuz these are just too cute to pass up.

Summer Fun

Summer is Here! We sure are enjoying it. Wynne and Elaina love playing in the grass in our front yard. We often get out the kiddie pool and splash around, Wynne sure does love that. He is still learning the meaning of the word, "soft" to sister. He is talking more than ever, coming up with new words everyday. Right now he is into saying, "hilarious" and "disgusting". lol It is sooooo cute when he just randomly says the funniest things. Elaina is a growing girl, even though she is only in the 15% for her height and weight, she is looking bigger to us. She is on the edge of walking. She will stand on her own, without holding onto anything for about 5 seconds then gets scared and collapses. She is hilarious, mmmm I wonder where Wynne learned that word from. :) School starts in about two weeks, Josh is excited, but I honestly can't say that I am. I have been taking a CNA class for the last month and have four other classes starting in a couple of weeks. What stinks is that they overlap each other, that is my CNA class and my other four classes. Oh well, we'll make it... somehow. :) What is exciting, is that after this semester I won't have to go back until next fall. Woohoo! that's when the nursing program starts. Josh can't wait to get back to school. He has ordered all of his books and anxiously awaits their arival each day. One of his classes has 7 books. He's in heaven. He is working the graveyard shift at Schriber, a cheese and yogurt factory, he actually kind of likes it. It is pretty cool because we get alot of cheap dairy products. But he doesn't know if he is going to be able to do it while he is going to school. I guess we will just have to see how it goes. Well, good bye for now, we shall see how this blogging thing pans out. haha.
