Beautiful Sweet Aiden!!!

Aiden loves to copy us...

so while waiting in the car for dad yesterday

she decided to put on some glasses

she was doing it all by herself!

She is so beautiful!!!

It is the little moments like these

that make me fall more in love with her everyday!

Which I didn't know was possible!!

Finally Success!!!

So teething has been a LONG & difficult process for us.
It took about 3 months for her first tooth to finally break the surface.
and we have been waiting almost 2 for the second tooth.
Poor little girl...I feel so bad.
But finally on October 17th it came thru...
just a tiny little corner.
and this seems to be the beginning of the worst of it for her...
but finally the whole top has come thru!

I realize this picture is a little out of focus

but you have to realize

to get this picture at all I had to force the poor child to lay on her back

kneel over her...and have Trenton hold down her little arms

she is screaming bloody murder

and as you can see...pull her little lip down to get it

it was a lot easier to get the shot of her first tooth

she wasn't as mobile then

and getting her to sit still didn't take quite as much effort!

but we all survived the photo shoot

and this was the best shot of the 2 I managed to get!

hahahaha

this is a fun age!

Kids!

So the day has come...as I knew it would eventually!

Aiden LOVES Jada...anything to do with her really!

And tonight as we were getting ready to go up and take a bath

Aiden scrambled up the stairs ahead of us...

and by the time Trenton made it up there

he found Aiden hovering over the dogs bowl

a fist full of kibble

and suddenly she spit a few pieces from her mouth!

I thought he was going to die!

Now I am fairly confident that she didn't actually eat any...

but still

GROSS!!!

Normally she goes right for the water bowl

and we have been really good about moving the bowls off the floor

but Jada had just finished eating.

So she had her bath...and we brushed her teeth(scrubbed her whole mouth really)

Trenton will be so mad that I put this on here...

he wanted NO ONE to know about this

I will try my best to make sure it never happens again...

but she is a kid

and if that is the most disgusting thing I ever find in her mouth

I think we are doing pretty good!!!

Congrats Officer Batty!!!

So Trenton started POST (the police academy) on July 7th...he went thru because he is on the SWAT team for Orem City!! This last Thursday was graduation! And he made it (we were worried cause he hated it in the beginning)! He got an award for Physical Fitness & a Fast Gun Award! I am so proud of him! Here are some pics!





So Karen & Doyle came (pictured) and Dusty & Ali came. Thanks for the support!











The whole class! Only 2 girls out of 35! Trenton is in the center!















Posing with Chief Gurney and Captain Conner who came to the ceremony.













Getting his certificate from Chief Gurney!













The three of us! Happy it is all done!











Today is Trenton's first day of FTO (ride alongs with an Orem Officer). He only has to do that for 3 weeks and then he is back to fire! He has missed it so much! So we are all excited! I just wanted to say congrats again honey! We are so proud of you & WE LOVE YOU!!!

Ultimate Girly Girl

So Trenton has always said that he hoped Aiden would be a tomboy. Love hunting & cars & that kind of stuff. And absolutely NO PRINCESS STUFF!!!

Well...she does like to drive her little toy cars...and even does the sound effects. But she is about as girly as you can get! She combs her hair...and mine! She loves jewelry...she kisses herself in the mirror! She even takes her toys (the stacking rings) and wears them as bracelets instead of putting them on the post! And she started doing it on her own! And already she loves the make-up!






I am sure he will be fine with it! He adores her! She is so freakin' cute!
