Aiden had no fear of Santa. Everyone helping was amazed that he sat right down and told Santa what he wanted. No crying or anything.
He got a treat bag from Santa that had a lolly pop in it, Aiden's favorite candy!! This is what happened on the way home from the party. Oh man, did he have a good time!
Then we rode the carousel. He was nervous for this too, and when the horse first moved he was scared, but he ended up liking it. He's such a big boy now!
We love to see the animals!
They had a fabulous petting zoo with pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, llamas, kangaroos and donkeys. Aiden loves to see and touch animals! He had so much fun.
Notice him trying to kiss the sheep, and the sheep kissing him back. I love this picture!
What??!!!... Nothing!
We love the state fair!!
It made me laugh!!!
I asked Aiden what he wanted his pumpkin to look like and he said, "Bat and Ball." So that's what he got. He's really excited about it, can you tell?
What else could Aiden have been for Halloween? He LOVES baseball!!
We tried to teach Aiden to say, "trick or treat," but all he would say is, "candy," because he knew he was going to get some candy. But he was amazed that he could just walk up to a stranger and say, "candy," and they gave it to him. Hopefully he doesn't do it all the time.
A lady sitting by them thought Aiden was the cutest thing she had ever seen. When she found out this was his first baseball game, she left and came back with this cute button for Aiden. It says, "My 1st Game," with the Diamondbacks logo and mascot.
Aiden has an obsession with baseball. He carries around a bat and ball all day and says, "Hit it," "Batter hits it, pitcher throws it," "Strike" (with his thumb stuck out), and other random baseball-ish things ALL DAY LONG. He remembers eating CrackerJacks at the baseball game and talks about them a lot too. Recently he has learned the "Take me Out to the Ball Game" song, and we sing that at least 5 times a day.
We stopped in Las Vegas on our drive up to Utah from Arizona. Aiden has never been to Vegas so we took him to the Belagio and showed him the display of flowers and things inside and the water fountain show outside. He loved it all, but his favorite thing was playing with the water arches over the walk way.
We stopped in Cedar City and saw our nephew, Brandon. He just started college at SUU. It was great to see him!!
It was a very long drive, and we were all ready to finally be in Utah Valley!!!
Aiden and I went out to Price to visit with Jenny's family for a few days. We had so much fun while we were there. We did too many fun things to list them all out, but Aiden did have many firsts. Like first time eating corn on the cob, first time on a riding lawn mower (his favorite), first time seeing a parade and eating his first lolly-pop at the parade, first time on a four-wheeler, first bubble bath, first time feeding a horse, first time playing in a puddle and more. We loved being in Price!!
Another favorite thing was playing in Grandma (or as Aiden calls her G-ma) and Grandpa's backyard! We loved seeing the bunnies, turtle, kitties, all the brooms, and especially the lawn mower! Aiden would sit on the porch and watch the entire lawn get mowed. He absolutely loves the lawn mower!
