The bloopers...

These are the silly, funny, goofy ones I got yesterday that I think are so cute! Aedan was so active and would NOT stop moving. He'd say "CHEESE!" and be moving at the same moment so it was almost impossible to actually get good ones. I love his silly little personality so much so I had to post these.

Wetlands Park

I was so bummed for a while that I couldn't get up to Utah to have my very favorite photographer do Aedan's 3 year pictures (with Geoff loosing his job we just can't afford it)! He turned 3 March 27th so I decided the other day I needed to just take some since time is passing super fast and before I know it he'll be 4.
So, I got this location from a friend who had her pictures taken and we went there. I didn't find any of the spots from her photos but this place was packed with great spots so I found my own. I'm far from a professional photographer so these aren't fantastic but with an amazing background and a totally cute kid, how could they not turn out good right? :)
Oh... and yes Aedan needs a haircut but I am kind of in love with his hair curling around his ears so I haven't done it yet.














Since we were there and all... I took a few of Cali too.

Extended Stay

We planned to stay in CA for a few days to hang out with Kevin and visit my Grandma's that live near by. When we got here Geoff was looking online to see if they had jobs here that he could apply for and he found quite a few of them. So, after applying he decided we should stay an extra few days just in case they called for interviews or something. Then we wouldn't have to drive all the way back. I was definitely ok with that since I love being here :) so we stayed! So far only 1 company has called and he's had 2 interviews and is there today doing some paid work for them so they can test him out. It's a computer programming position and is just about perfect. So, we will see. It would mean moving to CA, which I'm never opposed to, but we really love the people we've gotten to know at home so it would be sad to leave (I hate Vegas so I can't believe I'm saying that!). We will see what happens. We've been here over a week now and are trying to figure out how we feel about living here.
Anyway... while we've been here we haven't done much that has made me take out my camera but there have been a few things. I am actually surprised at my lack of pictures because I can usually take pictures of anything no matter how silly. :)
Here are the ones I did take...

Kevin and Cali fell asleep in the car... so cute!
Aedan was trying to pretend to sleep but couldn't resist giggling:
We went over to our good friends Ian & Liesl's house for dinner (yum!). My Mom watched the kids so we could go by ourselves which was fun. Liesl and I had fun watching and making fun of the guys "geek talk". We love our geeks!!



On Wednesday my cousin Troy came over to talk to Geoff about a website and decided to stay the night and hang out with us for a while. When he got to my Mom's house Maegan, Kevin and I were doing "Just Dance" on the Wii so he joined us. His parents are dancers so it wasn't shocking that he was awesome at it. What was shocking is that Kevin did awesome too!! We never knew he had it in him. :) Since I was behind the camera I only have pictures of everyone but me. It was super fun!






On Friday we went to my Grandma's house to help out with some yard work and stuff. Whenever we're in town Geoff likes to make sure anything she needs is taken care of which usually is computer stuff. Kevin came along so that was fun. Grandee has beautiful flowers all over her front and back lawns so I took some pictures of the kids while they were running around. Aedan picked a flower for me which was sweet. :)





We went to my other Grandma's on Saturday but I totally forgot to take pictures while we were there. She made us a late lunch and Kevin got to tell her all about his mission and show her his album. It was so sad to be there without our Papa but it was great to see Grandma.
On the way there and back Kevin entertained the kids and made them laugh. They really love their Uncle Kevin and have so much fun playing with him.

Father/Son Camp Out

This post is totally out of order. Friday night was our church's Father/Son camp out. Geoff had never gone before and this year he really wanted to go so we decided to wait to go to CA until after the campout. I made Geoff take our little camera and told him he had to take pictures. I was actually surprised when he came home and he had quite a few pictures for me. Geoff said that Aedan slept great even though it was cold. In the morning they had a yummy breakfast and Aedan ran around with some other kids and then they came home. They carpooled with my friend Jana's hubby and their son Gideon so that was cool. Geoff said that the boys were hilarious on the way home. I'm so glad they had a great time!








Aedan took this picture of his friend Gideon:

Geoff said that whenever he took a picture of Aedan he'd pose:
