Better Late than Never

Aiden's 1st day of preschool

First time one of my child have cut themselves and needed stitches or dermabond.

And surprisingly enough it was Averee not Aiden.

Aiden turned 5 in September and loves scooby doo so he

had a friends scooby doo party

Aiden sporting his glasses he is suppose to

wear during sports to protect his one good eye

and he has yet to follow my plea

Soccer began in September and

Averee wishes she was playing too!

TROUBLE with a capital "T"

I am on the computer and Averee grabs out what I thought was a pen to draw a picture and I was completely wrong. In stead she decides to paint her fingernails and toenails with WHITE OUT. Now I can't get it off. She keeps me on my toes. It is hard to see in the picture but she did actually get some on her finger and toe nails.

Fishing

Aiden and his cousin Maren-this is Aiden's first catch of the day

This is Maren's first catch ever!

This is Maren touching a fish from a river for the first time

Spring 2010

Mickey and Minnie were walking together and earlier holding hands-they were in a hurry so we didn't get a picture of both up close but you can see Aiden a few feet away. Averee was with her grandparents and was able to see Mickey earlier and blew kisses to him and cute Mickey caught one of those kisses.
Aiden wanted Indiana Jones get-up for his take home toy.

We went to Minnie's breakfast and were able to get autographs and photos with a lot of characters.

Visiting Minnie's house. Averee was not a bit afraid of the characters and just loved seeing them all and dancing at the parades.

Goofy-one of our favorites!

Aiden enjoyed playing soccer and T-ball this spring. He was able to soccer 26 goals this season! Way to go Aiden!!!

Life after Chemo!

Averee has become quite the little princess. Although she doesn't sit still or enjoy her hair being done,she loves to do others. She also loves to stand next to mom as she puts on her make-up and beg for some. Lotion is also one of her favorites and she even thinks she needs it on her legs.

(Jen-this pic is for you-this is the dress I made)


We have all been enjoying the nice spring weather (I know this post comes one day before a little storm). Aiden has started back to preschool and loves seeing his friends twice a week at school. Aiden has also started T-Ball and Soccer. I think Aiden has heard or read somewhere that their is a rule that you MUST slide into homeplate each time you run the bases. Also, he likes to steal homeplate while someone else is taking a little too long to get ready to hit. Aiden also made 8 goals in his first soccer game. It makes me so happy to see him happy and doing the things he loves.

We had an enjoyable Easter and I included a few pictures from Easter

Handsome Boy

Aiden getting ready to come out of hiding and start attending primary again-He is looking good!!!

Happy Last Chemo Aiden!!!

Aiden had the pleasure of painting while staying at PCMC.

He thought it would be fun to paint himself. Not mom's favorite choice

Aiden had to be constantly hooked to IV's and couldn't stray far from this chair or his movies.

On your last chemo treatment visit you are graced with a song "Happy Last Chemo Aiden" to the tune of "Happy Birthday to You" and given an opportunity to ring the bell. The bell can only be rung at that time.

They also make you a sign that you get to bring home.

Aiden is leading the hospital personnel in the song!

Aiden has been such a good sport about all of the hospital visits and the weekly blood draws. He will be as excited as all of his family to put this behind us. Aiden is very special and I hope and pray this trial does not come upon him again. Thank you to the many family and friends you have shown your love for our family as we have gone down this long road.

(only a few more weeks and Aiden can finally come out of hiding)

Happy 2nd Birthday!!!

Averee Happy Birthday!!!! We are so excited to have you in our family. You have a cute personality. You love to blow kisses to your family. You have become quite a little talker. Your brother loves to play with you and wishes you never had to take a nap. Hope you have a great day!!!

Christmas Memories

Aiden slept one night in one of his favorite christmas presents from Grandma and Grandpa
After getting home from the 4th round of Chemo-Aiden wanted to stay up and ring in the new year. We were also very excited to be home and not in the hospital!

Christmas morning-Averee was not to sure about being woken up by her brother. She couldn't figure out what was going on.

This year I decided to make everyone PJs. Our family is divided when it comes to cheering for the Utes or the Cougars. Aiden and Averee has to put up with both sides. Matt a graduate of Utah loves the Utes and myself a graduate of BYU likes to cheer for the Cougars!

This Christmas was different from years in the past being that we stayed home and were unable to attend family christmas parties due to the fact that Aiden could potential get sick and set back his progress. Christmas was fun and I tried to focus more upon the true meaning of christmas. We attempted to read the Christmas story from the scriptures but neither child was understanding so instead it was told in way that a child could understand. We also had a tree made from paper that each time someone served another person he/she was able to put an ornament on the tree. Aiden worked really hard to get ornaments on the tree. He helped clean the house and tried to share and be more kind to his sister.
