Aden turned 3!

My little buddy turned three on January 25th. I also celebrated my two year anniversary working for Aden's family. I have never been as happy at a job as I am with Aden and Kyle's family. Kyle is seven months now and wears 12 mos. clothing. He is in the 100% for height. Here are some party pictures:

Aden's parent's rented a 101 Dalmations bouncy house:

Aden has such a developed vocabulary so I always treat him as if he is 14, but then moments like this happen to remind me he is a sweet, young boy. While everyone was partying, Aden remained in his birthday seat sipping every last milk bubble from the bottom of the glass. He was so lost in the moment:

Happy Birthday Big Guy!

Finally, some postings!

I apologize for not posting in a long, long while. I blame my husband since he has stopped posting stories on our "family" website. I guess it is up to LuLu and myself to keep this blog going!

Here are some pictures from this weekend.

1. We repainted our kitchen "natural raffia." It is a tame yellow that makes our cabinetry look so much better (unfortunately, it makes our grout look dirtier).

I am going to hang my Grandmother's cruise pictures above the kitchen cabinets.

2. Andrew and I traveled south to the San Jose area to check out the Silicon Valley and it's offerings for the weekend before Valentine's Day. We stayed in Cupertino, but explored the horrific real estate prices of the Silicon valley, ate a wonderful fondue dinner at La Fondue in Saratoga, and visited Hakone gardens in Saratoga the next day.

3. The weekend before that, we went to Andrew's co-worker's Superbowl party. I can't remember who won (football, schmootball), but I ate enough to become a linebacker.

Everyone enjoyed playing Guitar Hero on the Playstation 2:

Life has been fun.
