Happy Birthday Aidan Jo







We trekked to Des Moines to celebrate Lil' Miss Aidan's 3rd birthday this weekend.  I cannot get over the fact that Aidan is now 3!  It is terrifying because that means that Eoin will be three in just a few short weeks.  I am in terrible denial. 

Aidan had a princess party and Eoin had an absolute blast playing with the little girls.  He made a crown and even played dress up with Aidan at one point.  I cannot wait to show him this picture when he is older. 

Although I was worried about the long car ride with two little ones, it was not too bad!  Definitely have to do it again soon, especially since Grayson will be making his appearance in July.  Eoin is probably the only kid who goes to a birthday party and comes home with presents.  Jordan and I purchased a logger truck to give him after Aidan opened her presents so that he didn't feel too left out, but also because he tends to throw fits, we thought it would alleviate the dilemma. It is difficult for a three year old brain to wrap their brains around the fact that not all presents are for them.  He ended up a little testy before the party started, so he got it a little early.  It also gave him some 'boy' toys to play with.  After the fun festivities, Papa Dean, Jordan and Eoin slipped away for a boys trip to Bass Pro.  Of course, he came home with more goodies in the form of a Bass Pro Hummer that towed a boat and a jet ski.  I'm not sure there is one toy this little man doesn't have.  The funny thing is though, he takes great care of what he does have and he also knows when something is missing!  He plays with every single piece. 

Liam did well being out of his element.  He woke several time throughout the night; however, Ashley and Nick recently finished their basement so I was able to be tucked away in a bedroom and not awaken anyone else with his cries! 

We will definitely be making the trip to see Ashley, Aidan and Nick again sooner than the 2 years we had in between visits this time!
