Aedan's Birthday(s)

Well it's the last few minutes of Aedan's 4th birthday. The top pic was from Today at the pizza king for dinner. Aedan and Courtney saw Wall-E while i was at work. The for dinner Aedan wanted to go to Pizza King. Pizza King is pretty cool because a model train brings your drinks to you. Then we came home and had cake and ice cream. Aedan and Ella had a little accident and busted Ella's lip but it was to gross to take a picture of. Most of Aedan's celebration was this past Saturday. We had a bowling party with his friends at Arrowhead. This next pic is of him on lane.

I added some pictures from previous birthdays for people who might not now Aedan Finn. This pic is Aedan on his big wheel(from Oppa)on his third birthday.

The next pic are from his second birthday. I know what you might be thinking, that's not Aedan, that kid has bright blonde hair but it's him. He likes making a mess and watermelon, but those two things go hand in hand.

This pic is Aedan on his first birthday at home.

Finally this is a picture of Aedan on his first full day. He was in the nicu because of his birthmark.

Aedan had a good fourth birthday. He wants to thank everyone who got him presents and all that wished him Happy Birthday. He really enjoyed his Easel and art supplies, Indiana Jones and Luke Mighty Mugg, his hot wheel track he uses for his figures, his Backyardigans movie from Ella, and his Chewie card. He likes everything else but with all these new toys there is only so much time in a day.

Walking on Campus and the Farm

Last week on one of my days off we decide to go to Purdue and have lunch. Courtney and I got gyros from The Parthenon and they we awesome. Aedan had a happy meal from McDonalds. We sat done by the engineering fountain. It was a warm enough day for us to run near the fountain. You can no longer run through the fountain as there is a ten foot metal cylinder that shoots the water up . It still pretty cool.


Aedan thought it was pretty cool and wanted to keep running through. But It was cold water and he didn't really want to get wet by cold water. After the fountain we went to the newer Armstrong Building, the have a replica space shuttle and a moon rock, it's a nice looking building. We also went to the Union and boy have they changed. There are a bunch of new eating areas there. Before it was a pizza place, pappy's a smoothie place and the oasis. Now in addition to Pappy's and the smoothie place, they have a coffe shop, mexican eatery, a flatbread place, a little market, a cereal stop, and a asian noodle place. It looks really nice. It seems everytime i go back(i know the long 5 mile drive to campus) something is new or different.

When it gets nice out we like to go to Uncle Bob's farm. Now it's not your normal farm they don't grow any cash crops. They do have garden out there. They do have some animals, donkeys, goats and some llamas. They have a firepit, a teepee, cabin, walking trails, a hammock(i fall out of), tables for eating and a working bathroom(outhouse). So it's the closest thing to a farm that i've ever been on. It always a reaaly good time when we go.

This first pick is of Aedan riding Jimmy the donkey. Jimmy is the nicest donkey you could meet. No I dare you go try and find a nicer donkey it won't happen. This is Aedan on jimmy thinking he runs the place. This time we took Aedan's daycare out to the farm. The daycare came out last year to the farm and had a good time. So we invited them out to see the young,because there not babies anymore, donkeys. We had a picnic with Hotdogs and hamburgers and at the end we made some smores.
The final picture is Ella on my lap eating a cookie. She seems to be a real messy eater.
