Happy Real 3rd Birthday Aiden!!

Last Friday was Aiden's actual birthday. After the whole party the week before, I didn't want to do too much, but still wanted to give him a special day. I took the boys to Chuck E Cheese for some games and pizza that morning/afternoon. We all had a great time!

Here, we're sitting right by the prize counter so that's what Aiden is looking at. Brady.....is hungry I guess :)
YEAH!

This is the greatest game for a baby! 1. It's the perfect height 2. All you have to do is hit one of two big buttons to make balls pop up and fly into a bunch of holes. Brady was cracking up! Whenever I lost track of him, I would go straight to the ski-ball machines...he would be there, trying to reach his hands inside the empty ball ramps saying "ball ball!!"

That night, after Brian got home, we let Aiden open his gifts from us. We got him more magnetic tiles which are his FAVORITE (and so now he can build even bigger stuff), a set of balloon powered race cars and helicopters which are super fun and....
....and a big bag of nonsense! This was my favorite gift! I took the boys to Michael's craft store (where there are tons of $1 toys). EVERY time we go to Michael's, Aiden shows me things he wants "for his birthday". So...I just followed behind him grabbing stuff (some of the stuff anyway) that he was pointing out. This bag chock full of toys that last a day and make Aiden one HAPPY kid.
Some of the items included: "magic beans" (the capsules that you put in water to create sponge animals or whatever), a basketball decal that I'll put on his wall, a wooden painted fish, a wooden painted rainbow, Swedish fish and a balloon animal set....funny!
Happy Birthday baby boy!!!!

What a thoughtful thing to do - actually putting together a lot of the things Aoden says he wants for his birthday. That is just too precious. Cannot believe he's already 3. I have a hard time remembering to say that my grandsons are now 4, 3 and 20 months. Where do the years go???

I've gotta check out Chuck E Cheese sometime. Remember that pizza place we used to go to when you guys were little? Don't think it was Chuck E Cheese - but something similar - so fun. The Sales Manager in Dallas said this week that Chuck E Cheese is his favorite place - he goes without kids. I'm sure he was kidding, but it was funny.

About Me

Stories about BRLAB: Brian & Renay, two relatively sane parents, and our three adorable, but active boys: Logan - 9, Aiden - 7 and Brady - 6. I started this blog to document our adventures and milestones for those family members who are far away and can't always share the fun in person. This blog has become my way to keep track of everything in the lives of my growing boys - from the super big stuff that seems the most important to the small things that probably really ARE the most important. I always include tons of pictures because I plan to make a book out of the blog on a yearly basis. Time flies by so fast, I can only hope that these posts will help us remember all the wonderful and silly times we have together as a family.
