The first attempt at a snowman!

Last night when Kirk got home from work, he suggested we go outside and make snowman. I said no at first because I was going to cook dinner, then I was like well the meat has to defrost. So I bundled Aiden up, put on my coat. And we met Kirk and Buster outside. The snow was too powdery to get the snowballs started for the snowman. But Kirk decided he was going to start throwing snowballs at me, so I tried but I totally missed him, then he threw me done in the snow. It was fun, but Aiden was getting cold so we went inside. And today Aiden seems to have a little cold =( and very fussy....But hopefully we will get to make a snowman next time.

Aiden and Brayden =)

Yesterday we finally got to see Jeanette and Brayden, we haven't seen them for over a month so it was exciting. They got here a little after 10 so we hung out and talked and the boys played. The boys are pretty much on the same page as far as walking, Aiden is a little taller but that is because kirk is a giant. Jeanette started feeding Brayden a banana and Aiden usually won't eat banana's for me, but since brayden was eating one he wanted some, so when Brayden was done, Aiden decided to shove the rest of it in his mouth and walk around. Brayden had a binky and well aiden decided he wanted it too, so they stared sharing,vbut Aiden took it out of his mouth the first time and looked and was like why isn't anything coming out. Then he tried giving it back to Brayden, it was sweet to watch. We went and ate at the kantine aand both boys decided they didn't want to eat. But all together it was a fun day.

Finally got AFN!!

Finally after a year and a half we got AFN. Saturday we made the 5 hour round trip to wiesbaden to get an AFN dercoder. Aiden did good for the trip there and most of the trip back. Well Sunday, Kirk wanted to be able to watch the game at home, but the guy who sets the satelite up wouldn't be able to come out until Monday. So kirk decided he was going to try it himself, so he calls charles and asks him if he had a compass, and kirk no thinking told him he was going to tr putting up the satelite by himself.Well charles told him he would be down here in a couple mins to help. We love charles very much, but he reminds me of one of the grumpy men off the movie grumpy old men, or what ever the movie is called. It is so funny, he always is right never wrong, and it is funny. he spent from like 3 ish until like 6:30 ish trying to set up the satelite, so he finally came to the conclusion that the satelite was bad...LOL. So he came back Monday and little did we know that he had already been up and went and got a new satelite for us. It was very nice of him. Well Hidie called and asked if kirk could come up and help charles carry some stuff down. And I said he was putting some screws in the LNB to keep it in place. Well I hear charles in the background tell him to stay away from that dam satelite..LOL. So I tell kirk and so from 10 am until 4ish they were working on trying to get the AFN set up. Well Charles finally gave up because kirk said that his friend who had a compass was gonna come and set it up, but Kirk called the guy who actually sets them up, and they guy had a clear picture within at least 15- 20 mins. I thought it was funny, that Kirk and charles spent 2 days trying to get the satelite and Afn to work and it only took Mr. Rouse 15-20 mins to get it. But that's what our four day weekend consisted of, getting our AFN to work.

Aiden the Terror!!!

Aiden is now 13 months and in to everything. He started pulling the dvds out again, he stands up in his chair and he has even said the SH word a couple times. So part of my New Years resolution is to stop saying bad words. He thinks it's funny to hit Buster, and Buster being the best dog he can be, just lays there and takes it. I was playing super mario on the wii the other night and Aiden walked up and turned the wii off. He can climb up on the couch and he is leaning how to get down the right way. He loves baby Enstines and yes even though Christmas is over he still watches the Grinch. It is his favorite movie. If I am cleaning and Aiden is fussy I put the Grinch in and he will watch it forever. He likes to take showers, if I give him a bath he will take the plug completly out and thinks its funny. Last night Kirk had to go pick up a friend from Frankfurt so it was just me and Aiden for dinner. So I made some speghetti and green beans and thats what we had for dinner. Well Aiden is a messy eater that is for sure. He tried getting noodles off his plate with is mouth instead of using his hands. I tried getting a picture of it, but I just wasn't fast enough. Aiden loves to dance to anything he thinks is music. We havn't got to the extreme fit throwing yet. But he sure is at the clingy stage and if I leave the room he starts to cry. Kirk gets a little irratated with it, but I say it's a stage, and he will grow out of it...LOL just right now Kirk is playing Madden and I asked him to help me wit something and Aiden went and un paused it and well kirk said he lost 20 yards.

Mallorca, Spain!!!

We went to spain about a month ago, it was fun. It was just Kirk and I, Aiden stayed with Jeanette and Dale. The trip started out good. We landed in Mallorca, got our rental car and found our motel. We couldn't check in for a couple hours, so we walked around and we found a little cafe on a corner and a home girl to make us a chicken sandwhich, and it was delicious. Then we got a fresh baguette and walked around some more. Then we finally got to check into our room and shower. We finally headed out again, and walked around the old part of the town, where the castle and church were. Then one of the days we went to the caves. It was across the Island and it only took us less then an hour to get there. The tour of the caves we pretty cool. Then we went and walked around Porto Cristo. Which it was so much prettier there then it was in mallorca. Then the third day, is when we went back into Mallorca and we toured the castle, which it was pretty much like all the other castles you see. Then we went into the church and it was breath taking, but of course you can't take pictures. After that we went into a couple of gift shopes and picked up some things for our family. This how ever was the day the gypsie girls stoll my 50 euro right from me. I was so angry, I wish I would of slapped them, but being who I am, I didn't and I was in another country. That kinda a put a damper on the trip for me. But you live and learn. So pretty much the rest of the trip we just relaxed and went for a run. We will go back again, but next time, we won't carry our purse or wallets and we are taking Aiden. I missed my baby way too much.

New Years in Austria!!!

For New Years eve we decided to go to Austria with our friends Shawn and Carolina and their little girl. We left at 6 am, so we could get there early and have the whole day there. We went to the christmas market in St. wolfgang. We ate so much food, but I think that is the best one, because they don't have the same types of foods as the ones in Germany have. They have this amazingly delicious cheese bread, they have bread bowls, waffles on a stick, I had one dipped in chocolate and sprinkles, even Aiden had a few bites. They also had horse carriages and every time they would pass Aiden he would get excited and smile and start to dance, I think his Christmas Present from Hidie and Charles had something to do with that. After the market we went back to the room and started drinking, we went to dinner with Jorg and Lidia and then it was back to the guest house to drink some more and Bring in the new year..except Aiden wasn't having the fireworks, they scared him, so Me and Aiden rang in the New Year just me and him in the room. So I didn't get my new Years kiss from my hubby =(.. Then we got up the next morning and went to salzburg, It was so nice there, we stayed there for about 2 1/2 hours, we bougth a coocoo clock and Aiden and awsome beenie. We also found out that Buster likes to ride in the bottom of the stroller.
