Birthday present from Aunt Jessica

Aunt Jessica came over to see Aydan for his birthday! She will be out of town on the day of his birthday party so it was important for her to drop off Aydan's present. He got an Elmo Live from her. Over the last few months Elmo has become another member of our family. Where Aydan goes Elmo in some form or fashion goes. Since Jessica got him the Elmo Live and is sitting here next to me....I am putting her in charge of this post :) Aydan loved his Elmo! He thought that little red guy was real. He hugged it and looked at Elmo as Elmo told him jokes and asked him to pick him up off the floor when he would fall over. I am glad he was so surprised by his new Elmo and being able to see Aunt Jessica today.

Birthday Breakfast

Aydan Wade Vandiver is 1 year old today!!! What in the world has happened over the last year? Where in the world did my life run off too? When I look back reflecting on this year it is crazy how much that little man has grown, and how quickly it passed. While I was pregnant and right after I came home everyone told me you better enjoy every minute of it because it will go by way too fast. I had no idea until I watched this year fly right past me. I look forward to the many years ahead of us...and I promise that I will definitely slow down and pay better attention. Aydan ate a banana nut bread muffin for his birthday breakfast. He enjoyed it!!!

Easter Egg Hunt at the Park

We head over to Memaw and Pepaw's house to participate in the neighborhood Easter egg hunt. Of course we showed up about 30 seconds after the kids were turned loose to get the eggs and Aydan was not successful in collecting any eggs. But that did not stop him from having a good time at the Park. He swung on the swings, went down the slide, and rode on a whale and a frog. We had a really good time!

Easter

This was Aydan's first Easter! I was not sure how he would do with the whole hiding the egg thing. But we hid one for him in the backyard anyway. Obviously we hid it really hard for him :) He ran around in the backyard chasing Nemo, Eva, and Dixie. We had plans on going out to Clint's parents house but unfortunately I broke out with a rash from the Fifth's disease. It was quite embarrasing and we were afraid that we might pass it on to everyone out there. Luckily I have not spread it to anyone. Hmmmm...weird isn't it!

Trip to Atlanta with Uncle Danny, Aunt Summer, Hunter, Gavin, Memaw and Pepaw

Uncle Danny, Aunt Summer, Hunter and Gavin got to come down and visit before Danny leaves again. This was the first time that we had gotten to see Gavin! What a handsome little man he is! We packed up over the weekend and head to Atlanta. While we were there we went to the Aquarium and the Coca-Cola Museum. We had a blast just enjoying each others company. Hunter has gotten so big!! We will have to go again when the babies are bigger :)

Fishing with Great Pawpaw Earnest

Aydan got to go fishing with his Great Pawpaw Earnest over Spring Break! He had a blast! He loved driving around in the boat. Aydan was really tickled when Pawpaw got the big fish!! He giggled and giggled while Pawpaw held it in front of him. Thanks Pawpaw for a really good time!! We all enjoyed every minute of it!

Fun at Chuck E. Cheese

Aydan had a blast while he played at Chuck E. Cheese for the first time!! Thanks Evey for the invitation and Happy Birthday!! Aydan's favorite thing at Chuck E. Cheese was Bob the Builder and the Little Blue Sports Car!
