The calm after the storm

Aidan and Vivienne relaxing after two crazy fun parties. Mommy takes a breather...until October!

"Kiddie Party" the next day

I got to have two parties this year! Mommy invited a bunch of my little friends to a party for me at Tumbling Tykes on Sunday, January 25. Talk about fun! Thanks everyone for celebrating with me and for my wicked cool gifts! I loved turning three!

Look out...here I come down the roller coaster.

Beep, beep! Better pull over cuz here comes Officer Marni Alhart--Roger, Roger!


Here's the birthday circle...Zachary Fuchs is letting everyone know he's also three!

Yo, yo, yo, Aidan and DD in da house!
Look out, DD! I'm gonna getcha, here I come.

Just monkeying around on the jungle gym.
Oooooo, I just love my silly DD.

We went on a goody bag hunt...now we are digging through our treasures.
Seems as though the ball pit was a hit. Looks like Gavin McNulty, Ethan Staszak, and Declan Chirlin had a ball.


Jess Bowens the gymnast.
Time for "gather the bean bag" game. Honestly, it seemed more like we were cleaning up than going on a bean bag hunt, but whatever, I found a whole bunch. Sydney Aurora and McKenna Metler rocked the house, too!
"Hi. I'm Ryan Prusak, who are you?" "I'm Jessica Bowens."
"Wanna play with this car I found? I'm a good sharer, go ahead, take it, Jessica." says Cutie Ryan.
Having a blast with the parachute game!
Thanks, Reilly Moak, for these awesome matchbox cars (and the bag FULL of goodies) and for the Red Sox book. Mommy tried to throw it in the garbage, but I saved it. Thanks everyone for the great gifts.
Smooching up on my DD!
Sydney Aurora takes the slide like a champ--and in a dress, too!
Did someone turn on Phish's "Bouncing Around the Room" cuz Zach Fuchs is going to town. Go, Zach, go!
Aidan and Ethan Staszak playing trains with Ethan's Daddy.
Vroom, vroom. Reid Metler riding a John Deere."Hmmm, where's the tiller part for this tractor," Reid thinks to himself.
"I bet I can throw this ball further than you," says Ethan Staszak to Ryan Prusak. "No way, pal, watch this," replies Ryan.
Even Vivienne was at Aidan's party. Heather Staszak shows Marni Alhart how to do "shhhh" because Baby Vivienne is out like a light. Marni shows "shhhh" right back to Heather!
Zachary Fuchs knows how to rock it at a party!
The never ending crazy scarf game. How many scarves can each side throw over? Go, Reilly Moak, Kara Bowens,and McKenna Metler, go!
Are we winning or losing, Sydney, because this feels like doing laundry--it never ends!
Time for some cupcakes!I'd say, all in all, the cupcakes are finger-licking good!

January 24 Aidan Turned 3--Happy Birthday!

It's my birthday, hooray!

Mommy and Daddy let me open birthday presents from them and Vivienne. I got a John Deere Tractor book. (How befitting since my party is John Deere themed!) Look, see, that's a tractor.


Oooooo, this is a pewter backhoe loader clock with my initials engraved from Vivienne.
Cool, here are some Max & Ruby books and a stuffed Max doll. Neato!
Here are some John Deere toys...this are wicked cool.

Here's my John Deere Farm cake. I got to put the tractor on it. Thanks for making and decorating my cake DD and Mommy.



Hey, those look just like the John Deere hat Mommy and Daddy got me!
Mommy had two dozen green and yellow balloons floating around the house...looks like Vivienne got her teensy little hands on one!

Ooooo, trucks! How did you know, Uncle "E" and Auntie Maria, that I LOVE trucks?!?!

Oh, wow, thanks, Mommy & Daddy for my very own pick up truck. I love it...so does Conner!


Look out, I've got my brooms (thanks, DD) all loaded in my truck. I'm going to work. Oh, and Grams is coming with me!
A doodle pad and other goodies from Grandma and Grampa--Thanks a bunch!

Hey, Mommy, what's in there? Help me pulled it out!

Ahhhh, cool, a wheelbarrow from Nana & Papa! Thanks so much. I love it.
