Our Life in Words...: Long Week!

I am so glad this week is coming to an end! It seems like it has lasted forever!! We have had a fun-filled couple of weeks here -- not that fun doesn't ALWAYS happen here!

Aidan celebrated his 9th month of life on April 29th. He weighed in at 22lbs at his check up which puts him in the 80th percentile! This is all new to us! Payton and Carson always came in around the 25th percentile...they were little string beans compared to Aidan! He is so amazing! We love him so much and don't remember what our lives were like before he came to join our family!

Payton had her 3rd week of soccer last weekend and Carson started his first week of kinderkickers. So cute and so fun to watch! Payton scored her first goal too! She was so excited! Carson's class just learned the basic skills of soccer and will probably start their scrimmage this weekend.

We ordered all new appliances for our house and I am so excited to see them coming in! We got our stove and dishwasher on Monday. I can not beleive how much better the new dishwasher works! It is nice not having to actually wash the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher! Our old one was just shot!!

We are moving our washer / dryer downstairs to the basement which is something I have wanted to do since we moved here 10 years ago. We got a new (blue) washer and dryer and they are being delivered tomorrow. The electrician was here on Monday and the plumbing guy was here today. I took off work a little early yesterday to start painting the nonfinished portion of the basement floor. I actually thought the washer and dryer would be delivered today but we were delayed a day waiting on the plumbing.

We are planning on doing a little remodel in the spare bathroom where the washer and dryer used to be. I am hoping to add a shower and make it a full bath. We will be needing that with our kids growing so quickly! They will want their own bathroom soon I am sure!

We took Aidan out in his swing for the first time last weekend. He loved it! We had never put him in a baby swing even so we weren't sure how he would do but he giggled the entire time!

We have a milestone coming up on Friday. It will mark the 7th year that the most beautiful girl I have ever seen entered our lives changing us forever! Payton Chloe will celelbrate her golden birthday on Friday by turning 7 on the 7th. Carson is bummed to learn he will be 30 before he gets to celebrate his golden birthday! We have invited the girls in her class and a few additional friends to come the "the shed". She is getting very excited and can't wait for her party. I can't even tell you how it hurts my heart that my first born is going to be 7!

We have another fun filled weekend of soccer coming up. Payton plays at 9:30 and Carson at 11. Payton's party starts at 1 so we will come back and go decorate for that. I will be ready to rest up on Sunday!!

Here are a few pictures of our last few weeks.
