Happy Halloween?

Aidan was very excited when his Brody Costume (from Yo Gabba Gabba) came in....he just didn't want to put it on! Once we got outside, though, he got in the Halloween spirit!

A Hodge-Podge of Pictures

Fall has been pretty crazy in the Polk household. I haven't had much time to post pictures, but here are a few recent snapshots!

Aidan actually listens at Tumblebus! Wow!

Aidan has an obsession with Mama's old running shoes. They don't even stop him from jumping on the trampoline!

Taking a break in Mama's big shoes (on the bathroom floor).

Pushing his car wearing Mama's big shoes.

Hiding in his diaper box. Didn't know we had a contortionist.

Hiding in the dining room. Not sure why.

Ha ha...I'm funny!

On the bar at Tumblebus.

Sliding on his slide!

August Happenings!

Here are a few pictures of Aidan hanging around his new house!

Aidan now has a nice, big backyard to play in!

Aidan does a pretty good job on his new stairs. We never had to put up the gate that we bought.

Hmmm....so this is what Daddy and Aidan do when they think Mommy isn't watching!

Here's Aidan posing proudly in his new room!

Aidan playing tug-of-war with the house. Who will win?

We're not sure where Aidan learned his golf stance. He even does the same head tilt as Daddy. And yes....that is my scrubber brush that he found under the kitchen sink.

Checking in...

It's been a while since I've posted pics. A lot has happened in the last month...the biggest of which is that we moved to our new house. One of these days I will get around to taking some pictures of our new nest. Aidan has adjusted AMAZINGLY well. He goes to bed better in this house than he ever did in our old house and seemed to understand right away that this was his new home. It's almost as if he was saying, "finally...you brought me home!" Hopefully I'll get some better pics to post this week...but here are a few silly pics from yesterday!

Aidan either checking out his nice big backyard...or yelling at Brady for barking. He likes to do both from here!

Aidan is saying, "cheese" while posing for this picture!

Aidan is pulling his own hair and SCREAMING, "OUCH!!!!" (we're so proud!)

Firework Frenzy!

Aidan had a blast the 4th of July. Despite early rain, it cleared up so that we could spend some time at Mimi and Papa's pool. Later, after a second thunderstorm, Aidan saw his first fireworks out at Boomer Lake. I think he had a pretty good time.

What a patriotic march!

Aidan swimming solo...he doesn't want any help.

See Grandpa, I've got this swimmin' down!

Wow! Look at those lights in the sky!

These things are awesome!

Check out my muscles!

Movin' On Up....

....And yes, even to the East side. Aidan will have a new place to call home on July 31st. We sold our house in early June in only 4 days. Fortunately the buyers gave us until the end of July to get out so we were able to find a house that we LOVE. Poor Aidan, has probably not received the attention he expected over the summer, but he's made sure that we still keep our eyes on him at all times!

Aidan's new house. We will move in on July 31st!

We were going to wait until we moved to buy Aidan his own table, but because of the way some things worked out with our new dining room table we needed him to have a place to eat. Just like Mary's Little Lamb, everywhere that Aidan goes, his table is sure to go. He loves it!

What you can't see in this picture is that Aidan is saying, "Cheese!" We aren't even sure how the pink ghost knew we were taking his picture. He got mad when I took my swimsuit coverup away.


Dawson's mommy & daddy sold their house on the same day that we sold ours. This has worked out well for the boys because they have had several play dates as his mommy & I have helped eachother out.

Dawson and Aidan are really becoming good buddies!

Summer Time, Summer Time, Sum Sum Summer Time!

During summer, flip flops are a must! (BTW...Aidan is saying "cheese" in this picture. We aren't sure where he suddenly learned to do that.)

Aidan and Brady playing in Dawson's water table.

Aidan and Dawson cooling off in the 97 degree heat!

Or maybe we should call this a "Dunk Tank"

Dawson and Aidan picking up a round of golf!
