I have let the fact that I have fallen so behind in blogging keep me from actually blogging. I tell myself that I will write catch up posts that are thorough and fantastic, but that just puts me further behind when I am unable to get them done. Basically, life has been crazy and does not show any signs of slowing down. Work is nuts, I have been putting in at least 9 hours a day and I still have enough work to keep me busy on the weekends.
Aiden loves feeding all of our animals. Every day he asks to feed the dogs, fish and our bearded dragon. His vocabulary is "enormous." I swear that sometimes he sounds like an adult, but then he reminds me that he is still a little kid with his crazy antics. He is loud and funny, and very smart. He begs me to go to school everyday, so we will probably start more structured "class time" soon. I have not decided if I am homeschooling yet, but I am still leaning towards taking that on as well. Right now I am teaching him how to play
Go Fish, he is catching on pretty quickly. I really want him to love games like I do, it will be so great to have people to play with as the boys grow older!
Connor is growing like crazy. He started full on crawling two days ago. He is still faster getting places by rolling and scooting, but he has added crawling to his mobility wheelhouse. Connor has been sitting up on his own from a laying down position and pulling himself up. I feel like he is going to start walking too soon after crawling :( He just cut his third tooth a few days ago, but has been good about not using it too much to bite me. He loves pretty much any food he can get his hands on and likes to drink small amount of water from a bottle. His favorite person is Aiden, hands down. Aiden will spend hours making Connor laugh, it is both adorable and wonderful. I hope that they always have a fantastic relationship.
I am missing A LOT of pictures to post here, I will try to get them off my dad's camera next time I am in town. For now, here are some pictures of the kids and some of our recent adventures.

In the past couple months we have been to Michigan to see our good friends get married, gone to Big Bear for Cousins Campout, started the crazy volleyball coaching season, took Aiden bowling for the first time and went to the Kasbon Campout. I have fallen dreadfully behind on sending out birthday cards (sorry to people who were born in July, August & September), I am going to try to pick back up with it by the end of the month but I feel bad for all those missed birthdays in the middle. I have been obsessively baking lately, I cannot put my finger on what it is I want to bake so I am trying several things in hopes that I will just happen upon that unknown delight that I am craving. No one here is complaining since they have a never ending line of treats to satisfy their sweet cravings. My Kitchenaid is getting a daily(sometimes more) workout with all the baking and cooking I have been doing. I used it the other day to grate cheese, shred chicken and makes cookie dough. :) Well, I have rambled enough for now just thought I would give you all a long overdue update on how we are doing! :)
