A Wedding!

Last night we went to my step brother's wedding. Andrew and Sheena were happy and both looked great! This was the first wedding that Ayden has been to and he had so much fun. He was the life of the party and center of attention (as usual).

Silly Boy!

I went into Ayden's room this morning and found this:

He had no explanation for it and was really confused when he woke up...

We bought a little pool the other day and I thought it would be warm enough to get in this afternoon....I was wrong! It was really cold, but Ayden didn't seem to mind. *disclaimer: excuse the pasty white thing in the swimsuit - I need a tan and a diet :)

And here's a little video too

Happy Mother's Day to Me!

I didn't actually take any pictures yesterday, but we had a great day. Ayden gave me a cute card and potted flowers. I got my real gift the other night when Ayden said "Mommy, you pretty like a princess?" It's sweet things like that that get me through the "terribleness" of the "terrible 2's."

On Friday, Ayden's preschool had a Mother's Day Tea. The kids came out and sang "You are my Sunshine" and Ayden scowled the whole time. I'm not sure what his problem was, but you can see how thrilled he is to be there in the pictures.

He's joined the world of computer users

I bought Ayden Jumpstart Preschool the other day because it was on clearance at Target and I can rarely pass up anything that is on clearance at Target. I figured it would be a while before he was able to use it, but he insisted on playing it when we got home. I was blown away at how quickly he picked it up. It's really kid-friendly with very few mouse clicks needed, but he can even do the "mouse" on the laptop. After playing it with him a few times, I decided to let him try on his own - mostly so it would keep him occupied while I cooked dinner. He did really well and didn't screw anything up. We have an old laptop that I think I'm going to put his game so that I can let him be a little more independent with it and I don't have to worry about him messing up my computer. Here are a couple of pictures that I snapped in between making dinner.
