Happy 5th Birthday ! Happy Birthday to You!!

Oh, Aiden, you are so special. From your wonderful never-ending sense of humor, to your awesome athletics, you are so special. From your protection you always offer your sister when you put your arm around her and lead her to a new game, you are so special. From your amazing trust and willinginess to try anything new (Last night you tried octopus and ate the whole chewy leg without even a grimace). I love the way you throw a frisbee, cast a fishing pole, kick a ball, ride a bike, climb the playground, you are so special. From your total love of dogs and all animals for that matter, you are so special. You always give us a helping hand, and work so hard at the jobs that need to be accomplished, you are so special.

Happy 5th Birthday Aiden Winston, we love you and are so lucky that you picked us.

Love,

Dad and Mom

More boating pictures...

Sweet Maia. She is the coolest girl I know.

Boat full of kiddos, and my friend Elizabeth.

Wake Surfing...so proud.

About a week ago our friends, the Pillings, invited us to go out their boat. After watching the other guys do some "wake" surfing behind the boat, Randy jumped in and by his third attempt he was wake surfing. Our kids begged to go in the water, and not wanting to take time away from the other adults who wanted to surf, we kept telling them next time, next time. But, by the end of the trip, both Aiden and Maia continued to beg to out in the chilly water. So, graciously, Brad (our friends friend) offered to take the kids out. PIctures of Maia to follow, but here are a few of Aiden. We were so proud.

Oops.

Just for the record...

I passed my driving test. We are official Idahoans. Yes!
