Aardema Family Blog: May 2010

Thursday, May 13, 2010. Our neighbors to the back have a few mules and they have become very good friends to my boys. Tommy found this rickety old ladder in the shed and he leaned it up against the fence last summer so the boys could feed carrots to the mules. It has remained there ever since! During the summer the boys picked carrots from the garden and fed them to Brutus (pictured above) and in the winter they'd steel carrots from the fridge and do the same! I truly am livin' the dream.

Thursday, August 5, 2010. Where did July go? The month of July has obviously gotten away from me without one single post so I decided to give a little summary of our crazy doings! Tommy was busy going to school at Utah State University for the majority of the month of July so the little time we had together was jam packed with fun! It might seem strange, but it's tradition! Our kids absolutely love this holiday! I think more holidays should involve sparklers! They just loved hiking and exploring this bea...

Monday, June 28, 2010. Here is my baby, my 7 YEAR OLD baby! Can you believe it! He is practically a man (minus the chest hair)! Benson had such a wonderful birthday this year. We had a few different parties with family and friends and Benson was surrounded by the people who love him. Grandma is responsible for this "toy"! He requested a nerf gun and this is what appeared! Armed with his new gun and bat man sunglasses, Benson is sure to lead the troop of neighborhood boys this summer! Gettin' the job done.

Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Our little Carson is a jumping bean! He has rocked on his hands and knees as soon as he was able to but now that he is pulling to a stand he has discovered that jumping is even better! One night I could hear the crib just a rockin' and I figured he was just bouncing on his hands and knees, but it seemed way to loud! So I peeked in on him to find this! He was triumphantly standing in his crib and jumping with complete delight! I love to rock in a chair, I have loved it always!

Aardema Family Blog: Long time, no post.
http://aardemafamblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/free-frosty.html
Wednesday, February 6, 2013. Long time, no post. Let's start where we left off, FALL! Apparently we are good at growing boys and large squash, who knew! I think the grand total was something ridiculous like 28 pumpkins. Not a single red tomato this year but 28 pumpkins! The boys were thrilled and it was really fun to line them all up and gaze upon our produce with great pride. Carving was not quite as enjoyable but we did our duties. Yep, I claimed those instantly. Tanner man got glasses! June 30, 2001.

Aardema Family Blog: September Color
http://aardemafamblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/september-color.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Every fall we try to take several drives to the nearby canyons to enjoy this gift with our boys. We pick a few spots to stop, get out of the car and just wander for a while. Last night was our first journey into the colored hills and it was one to remember. It all felt like a dream. We love it as much as they do, how could we not. Sheesh, pictures just don't ever do justice do they. We wandered back into this amazing grove where the ferns along the ground had yellowed, ...

Friday, February 22, 2013. Tis the Season 2012. Our Christmas season always starts in mid November with a hunt for the perfect Christmas tree. We have loved the freedom of looking for a bigger tree now that we have vaulted ceilings. Tommy trudged over the river and through the woods to find this bad boy. What a winner! The poor man seriously had to drag this ginormous tree for miles and miles. Ok, not really but it was far! And yes, we trimmed it back because if filled half of our family room! Complete w...

Thursday, January 27, 2011. Our baby is 2! I can't believe how fast the time can fly. He is right on the tail of his brothers and he is anything but slow! This little boy has brought a whole new meaning to "boy"! He is really active and keeps me very busy, you know, because I was bored! Here's a cute picture of Carson in St. George right after Christmas. He was so happy to be able to run around outside without the pesky snow! This kid is bursting with personality, even when he is sleeping. Benson is now ...

Thursday, April 22, 2010. Where Dreams Come True. Our trip to Disneyland was so great! We had a 5 day hopper pass between the two theme parks and it was perfect. We had just enough time to do everything a few times without feeling rushed at all. We even had enough time to leave the park early on a few nights and get the kids to bed at a decent hour! We were lucky enough to go with some great friends! Two other families with four kids each! We all had the greatest time! The boys just loved meeting him.

Sunday, February 28, 2010. The other morning I was putting towels away in the bathroom and I noticed a tuft of hair on the floor. Hmmmm, I figured it had probably been hiding in some random corner from the last "hair cutting extravaganza". So, I swept it up and walked away. About twenty minutes later I entered the bathroom again only to find another tuft of hair in the same spot! Was I secretly being filmed? Was I losing my mind? I then put the puzzle together! Chump, yet a clever chump! He is a preschoo...
