Daddy sure is old!!!

Last Saturday we celebrated Kyle's 30th birthday. We had dinner with Mimi & Papa and opened gifts! We're pretty sure that Aidan thought this party was for him!

Look at this cool present I got!

Mimi & Papa sure do love me!

Look at my mom & dad pose for a picture....as if anyone wants to see them!

This dog is awesome. He makes a really soft bed!

Fight Night!

IT'S AIDAN....

versus THE BLOCK SORTER

AND THE WINNER IS....

BLOCK SORTER!!!!!

But despite the black eye....he's still feeling fiesty!

Why in the world would mommy want to take a picture of my toy without me in it? (Aidan came out of nowhere when I was taking the block sorter's picture for this post. I did not intend for him to be in this pic!)

He's ALL Boy!

Aidan continues to keep us busy by staying busy himself. There's no down time with this kid....it's go or sleep (and Aidan prefers to go)!

This picture is a typical day in the Polk house. Yes...I do lock the dishwasher but, as you can see, there's really no point. Aidan can also lock (and unlock) the dishwasher!

Who says I need Mom and Dad to ride my horse?

I am the man!

Dump out the toys....this basket is for watchin' TV!

Here you can see another typical activity....boy how we love balls...and shouting!

Also....we always have time to stop and cheer for the Pokes....even if it's just for a brief moment!

I'll have a Blue Christmas....well actually red, green & white!

Christmas has been an eventful holiday this year filled with many colors! Green stands for the nastiness oozing out of Aidan's ears from yet another ear infection. They say the tubes are doing their job though because now the junk runs right out the ears...so gross! Red stands for the terrible & painful diaper rash that is caused from the stomach problems associated with the antibiotic from the ear infection. White stands for the new molars that are poking their way through Aidan's gums....making this a fun holiday experience for everyone and leaving us with very little sleep! Poor guy has had a rough few weeks but has managed to have some fun too!

Santa came!!!

This is awesome!

I'm king of the world!

It's about time I get my own laptop!

What is with this guy?

Aidan playing with his 3rd cousin Zach!

Aidan and the Polk cousins!

Christmas Number 1!

Aidan got to celebrate Christmas #1 with Grandma & Grandpa Panke. Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa Sherman were there too! As you can see, the big box was a big hit!

Tearing paper is so much fun!

Standing on top of a box and tearing paper is even more fun!

But standing on a box and lecturing Mom is the most fun of all!

Awesome wagon!!!

Great Grandmpa & Great Grandpa Sherman!

Aidan's Daddy Graduated!!!

We are so excited that Kyle graduated with his Masters in Engineering Degree from OSU! Way to go Kyle....we are proud of you!

After the cerimony!

Aidan's not too sure what's going on!

The proud family!

Thanksgiving...Better Late than Never!

I'm a little slow in getting these posted but we were so fortunate to have Uncle Brian and Cousin Taylor down from Ohio for Thanksgiving. Aidan had a blast playing with his cousin!

What a great big cousin!

Gotta help Grandpa open his birthday presents. Boy he sure is old!

Look....I can ride Taylor's tricycle too!

Where are the toys in these presents?
