Mother's Day!

It has been a tradition since Aiden was born that we go to the zoo on Mother's Day. This year we went to the Ft. Wayne Children's Zoo with my mom, step-father, brother, sister-in-law (baby in her belly) and Jesse, Aiden and I. Here are some pics.

This is one of Aiden's favorite things to do with Opa lately.

Daddy's Helper

Jesse and I are in the middle of painting our office at home and there are alot of different switches and screws laying around due to changing out sockets and such. Today Aiden and Jesse spent about half an hour playing with a screw and a lightswitch. Putting the screw in the switch and taking it out. It was neat to see the passing of the "male knowledge."

Aiden and Daddy!

Since we had Aiden's birthday party the day before his actual birthday, Jesse and I decided to take him out to lunch on his actual b-day. Aiden decided that he wanted pizza so we took him to East of Chicago and Opa came along too. After eating some pizza, which he wanted to dip into his pudding (as long as he likes it right!?) we let him play a few games. He loved it. He ended up winning 40 tickets and he was so excited. He put them right into his pocket. On our way out he cashed them in for 4 suckers and boy was he proud! I look forward to spending special days like this with him and any future children. I'm determined to give him only great memories of his childhood!
