SHOWING OFF AYDEN

          There is a LOT to write about in this post.    Seems there is always a Kodak moment
          with Ayden around.

                      We start out with Ayden, Sheila & Darren flying down January 11 & staying
                  a few days.
                                                 
                                                        

                                                                       They have arrived

Don't  be shocked**Grandma is in the picture

                                                     Ayden is too big for the kitchen sink
                                                    this year, so had to find another way
                                                    to take a bath.  This bathtub fits
                                                     right inside the shower, and he loves it.
                                                              

                                                            Aydens first ice cream cone
                                                                     holding it himself

                                                                  He did really well

Even though it was chilly

we wanted to swing

                                                                        And Slide

                                                                 I know I can do it

                                                                                        

                                                                   Whee    no hands

 

 



                                          They went back home and then 3 weeks  
                                      later Sheila & Ayden came to stay for 9 days
                              
                                            This is at the airport when they were going to
                                         fly back down here.   When Sheila sent these pictures
                                       it brought tears to my eyes.   This little boy looked so
                                                    grown up pulling his own suitcase !!!
                                             And that bomber jacket !! He is ready to roll...
                                                                 
                                                                         

 

 

                 

                                                 Hi Grandma & Grandpa,  we just landed
                                                              


                                                                      

At first glance what do you think ?

Yeah I know it looks like snow but it's not.

It wasn't a very warm week when they were here,

so he wore his winter hat on the beach.  If it would

not have been so windy, it wouldn't have felt so cold,

so no water today.  He really loves to run and play in the water.

Hopefully spring break.

Peek-A-Boo

 

 

 

 

One afternoon during nap we heard Ayden say

Aw--oo

Not hearing anything more we assumed he went

back to sleep.   When Sheila went in to get him up

she found a whole new package of wipes pulled

out and all over the crib !!!

 

 

 

We did have 1 nice day that we went to the beach and

spent some time.  This is not a posed picture.  It happened

very quickly.  Kent got up from the chair to do something and

Ayden was close to the chair, as soon as Kent got up Ayden

literally plops in the chair for a short 30 seconds and I snapped

the pose.  Luckily I had my camera in my hand.

 

Taking a break

 

                                                                                

NOTE:  The bike is NOT moving

Sheila is just holding him on the bike.

Guess someone was concerned about Aydens feet

getting caught.  Didn't happen....Bike didn't move.

 

I got to go swimming in the pool....It was so fun

 

We went out to the park to try to see Alligators

 

Was hoping Grandpa wouldn't drop me

 

Look real close...this is the only PART of the alligator

we saw..he never moved for us.

 

 

 

 

Hi,   It's me Ayden with my Minion glasses

 

 

                   I got to do so many things at Grandma & Grandpas, I really had fun at
                   their new place this year.   Now I can't wait to go see them Spring Break.
                   I played so hard from morning to night,  I hardly slowed down.  Everybody
                   says I am just like my daddy.  VERY HIGH ENERGY.   I'm tired now I'll
                                                         see you another time.  Nite  Nite

                                                        Hope you enjoyed the pictures

                                                                     Keep Smiling

                                                                    Kent & Martha
