Aedan's 4th birthday party, Wild Kratt's style!

We had so much fun this year celebrating Aedan's 4th birthday with a Wild Kratt's party, which perfectly fits where him right now. :)  We tossed around a few different ideas, but Landon hit the nail on the head with this one.

Kennedy Family Reunion

The last time we went to Landon's extended family's reunion was right after we got married, so we figured it was time to go again (how does 9 years fly by like that?) and had a really fun time!  It started out a little rough because Austin woke up when we arrived at midnight, ready to go!  He was WIDE awake until about 3am--and all he wanted to do was push Aedan's suitcase around!  It was awesome, ha.  Needless to say, we were a little tired the next morning.

June 25, 2014





I love birthdays and reasons to celebrate--and I love spending our boys actual birthdays doing what is fun for them!  We try to have a day all about the birthday boy.  This year, on the day before his birthday, Aedan was so excited about turning 4, probably because a couple of his good friends were already four.  I was a little sad that it was his last day as a three year old though--four just sounds so big; t sounds much more like a big boy than a toddler!  But alas, he wasn't feeling sad at all!

monkey see, monkey do!

Austin has reached the age where he copies literally everything Aedan does--that's a big responsibility as a big brother!!  Most of the time it's super cute though, because we'll catch him studying what Aedan's doing and then immediately trying to do it himself!  Love these two so much--life with them is crazy and hectic, but oh so fun.  And funny. :)

17 months!

Sweet Austin, the months are flying by!  I can't believe in a month you'll be a year and a half old!  We are having so much fun with you right now--you're learning new things all the time and just a crazy ball of fun! :)  And as you lay here sleeping next to me, I'm stuck again by what a cute baby (asleep or awake!) you are!!

prayer

So one of the sweetest things about Austin right now, that I just want to bottle up and always keep like this, is that as soon as one of us says "let's pray" or anything about praying, he reaches out to hold our hands.  I think it's the cutest thing--one day he just started doing it all on his own.  Sweet boy--our prayer is that your life will be one rich in prayers to our God!

4 YEARS!

Oh my sweet Aedan, you're FOUR!!  You are so proud of being four--it's really cute!  You like to tell people we meet that you're name is Aedan and you are four years old, always with four fingers held up.  It's really cute.  You have a few friends who turned 4 a few months ago, so I think you're just so happy to be the same age as them now!  You are growing up into a little boy so quickly, and we are loving life with you! You are such a fun mix of big and little right now and learning new things all the time!

Father's Day!

This Father's Day, we kicked off the weekend with making Daddy a peach cobbler!  The boys were my big helpers!  (Though, when I told Aedan that, he thought for a minute and told me that Austin didn't really help much, ha.  True--but boy did he want to be in the middle of it all! :)).

Aedan's first VBS!

This year was Aedan's first year to be able to attend VBS and he had such a fun time!  He was a couple of days shy of 4 years old, but they let him go and he had a blast!  I got to be his group leader too, which was a lot of fun for us both.  It was fun to spend a little one on one time with him and get to see him experience something new. And Austin had fun in his class too, so it was a win/win!
