Aiden is 6 months old today! I cannot believe it. I know I say that every month, but it's true. He is just getting too big too fast. Today I went to target and was in the restroom changing Aiden when a mother dragged her little boy who was probably about 6 years old into the bathroom and was screaming at him and swatting him repeatedly while he cried. She kept saying things like "you will obey me and you are not going to act like this in public" "I will not tell you again" and "don't make me bring you in here and spank you again cause I will". I have no idea what this little boy did but I found myself feeling sorry for both the mother and child. I looked at my own little boy who was just smiling like crazy and chewing on his feet. I silently prayed that he will stay my little baby for as long as possible. I am not naive enough to believe my son will be the perfect angel nor that I will be the most patient and calm mother. I can however; hope and pray that we have lots and lots of time left before we are screaming and crying at each other in public restrooms.
Sunday was Beth's (my soon to be sister in law) wedding shower. It went really great and Jarod and Beth got some really great presents to start their new life together. Saturday night my aunt kim got the pleasure of watching Aiden while my family (mom, dad, jarod, beth, ben, and I) went to see "mamma mia" at bass hall. It was so great! I love that musical! I still haven't seen the movie. I want to though. It was a great but tiring weekend. Now we are all alone at mamaw's house for this week while she is gone on her ladies trip to colorado.
Ben's interview went well on friday. They basically told him that he has the position and they will make a formal offer as soon as his background check and drug test comes back! So thank you for the prayers and keep them coming!
I have pics to share from this weekend and ones that I took today for Aiden's 6 months! But we still haven't had time to take our computer in to get it fixed so my pics aren't uploading yet. Sorry! Hopefully we will get that done this week!
Charley Ray is our newest blessing! He was anxious to be a part of our family and surprised us all when he came 5 weeks early. He is sweet as pie and he is very loved!
Hallie is our little princess. She is a blessing and a joy to this family. She steals our hearts with her cuddles and her smiles every day!
Aiden is 4 years old and he challenges and entertains us every single day. He is the most tender hearted, sweet, imaginative, and entertaining child ever. We are blessed to be his parents.
We have been married since June of 2006. We are partners in all things and there is no one else I would rather be spending this chaotic, crazy, amazing life with!

I have a feeling that you won't EVER have to do the "bathroom talk" with Aiden. I may be wrong...but, I, praise God, never had to do that. I think it comes from the whole "do the crime, do the time" thing. When we would be in the store and hear or see a child doing that, I would ALWAYS look at my kids and tell them (no matter how old) that I loved them even more for being so good for me at the store. They would most always just smile and they knew that I noticed the "good" behavior.
But, if they needed reminding, we would most certainly have an "attitude adjustment" (phrase used by Missie-next door neighbor growing up) as soon as we got home, then I'd give them "the look" and it seemed to work. But it worked because I FOLLOWED THROUGH.
I think that is a problem these days. That the parents don't seem to follow through with punishment.
O.K...I'm off my soap box...Sorry.
I just don't think you'll have that problem. Aiden is such a wonderful HAPPY baby!!! That DOES make all the difference in the world.
You guys are doing a GREAT job!!
i will post more on this subject later, but for now.......happy 6 month bday to the cutest grandbaby ever.
