Happy First Birthday little baby


Tonight we celebrated Aiden's FIRST Birthday. I can't believe how fast the year has gone by. I can remember the day he was born so vividly, like it was yesterday. It seems like as I get older the time goes by much quicker.. maybe because it makes me terribly sad that my boys are growing older. I have felt very sad the last few days knowing that this is it... no more FIRST birthday parties. But, I have to keep perspective, there will be lots more firsts for my kids. It's been hard knowing that I am not going to have any more kids. I have been trying to talk Jared into getting his vasectomy reversed, but he's not going for it.
We had some family over tonight for pizza and cake. I feel bad, the last two kids we had big parties for their first birthday, poor Aiden. Oh well, I am sure he won't be deprived of anything. He loved eating his birthday cake. He actually threw a fit when I took it away from him finally. I think he would have eaten the entire piece, but I actually wanted him to sleep tonight. We are going to California in the morning and taking the kids to Disneyland and California Adventure.
Aiden is such a sweet little boy. He has the most amazing little smile. I don't capture it on camera very much because he smiles for me, but then when the red flash light on my camera goes on, he stops smiling and just glares at the camera. He has started to show his personality traits more. He actually has started throwing fits too. He gets very angry at his brothers or parents when we take something away from him. He throws himself down on the ground or arches his back and screams. Its kind of cute though.
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY AIDEN. We love you!

Aiden wasn't remotely intersted in his presents. As you can see, he is actually holding my bottle of water. That is ALL he wanted to play with.

MMM Cake...

He devoured the birthday cake.

This picture was actually taken in our trailer last week, but this is the glare he gives me most of the time when I try to take his picture.


At the Halloween party last week. He sat in his bouncy chair for over an hour just watching all the kids.

He is sooo cute Jen...I see both you and Jared in him. I know how you feel about getting 1 more and the husband says no...Danny is the same way and I would love to have one more.

Happy Birthday!

Aiden is so cute. I can't believe he is already one. I agree that time seems to go faster the older you get. The kids grow up so fast but I still feel the same age as when they were born. Hope you have fun at Disneyland.

He is so cute. Your boys all look a lot alike. And your right, time flies faster the older you get. I have a NINE YEAR OLD, for heavens sake. It's making me feel old. And I don't know how long you have been reading my blog, but I did a whole post about dreaming of having a big family and being like the mother on Brothers and Sisters. But it will likely just be two for me. . .

I sympathize with you. Although I don't want anymore kids I still get emotional about Jonah being our last and no more 1st. Happy Birthday Aiden! He is so adorable.
