More Videos

First of all, I have revised the previous ' Video' post.  I noticed I accidentally posted 2 of the same videos twice.  So, now you can actually see Sitting at the Table and Daddy Spitting Cups.  Anyway, here are some more videos:


Aiden jumping on Daddy's head, hehe.  He does this quite often- not always on Doug's head, though.



Find toys and hiding in his tubs


Dancing to Sesame Street


Discovering how the Diaper Pail works.  I didn't get it on video when Aiden put his toys in there- but it was pretty funny.  Now to sanitize those toys...



Relaxing in his tub (Sorry it's a little dark)



Dancing to the music on tv


Reading in the Wind

Back to School

Doug here;
Briana recently started her FIFTH year of teaching!  






You can tell he's my son... eyes closed.



Ain't they cute?

UNI vs Iowa

While the game didn't end as we'd like, we enjoyed the company!  Guests include: Sarah and Jared Lerdal and their daughter Kinley, Chris Tyler, Sarah Kos and her sons Kendrick (~2 years) and Ryker (~8 months).  We had good food and lots of entertainment :)
Aiden and Kinley sitting at the table.

This is how I envision the conversation going...
Kinley- "This is a bunny.  It goes hop, hop, hop."
Aiden- "Well my dad said it went hippity hoppity."


"Haha- you're hilarious!"



Playing with the trucks and cars. (Kendrick is in the jersey.  He's almost a year older than the other two.)




Pork Fest

Wellman (the town where I teach, about 6 miles West of Kalona) was having a Pork Festival.  Some of the events included a free-will donation breakfast, petting zoo, kids games, and watching pigs being born.  We decided to participate in the first three and pass on the last :)  The petting zoo was more of a look-at-zoo, but Aiden still enjoyed seeing the animals.  Also, the games were a little too big for Aiden, but he loved seeing other kids.
Got our hat on (from Aunt Ashley) and are ready to go!

Looking at the mule

"Moo"

Getting nice and close



Bunnies!

Trying to reach the mule.

Walking around the inflatable tunnel.  We decided not to have Aiden climb through this, as one of us surely would have also had to go in...

Sitting in the extra cars.  The rest were pulled behind a tractor.  We didn't think Aiden would sit for the entire ride.


Looking at the BIG tractors with Daddy.

"I can do this!"

Daddy helping with the hammer.

Getting a sticker from the Pig mascot.

Back to the animals- they have baby pigs now!  Definitely one of the highlights of the trip was one of the little piggies got out and there were 10 kids chasing it around the park.  They did catch it eventually.

Look at the horns!

Playing in his Tub

We frequently find Aiden playing like this...

Sitting like a big boy in the chair


As usual, not wearing any pants.

Climbing on the Table

Aiden has discovered he can get on top of our table all by himself...



"Oh- you're watching me??"

Trying for a 2nd time after Mommy made him get down.


"What?!"

Halloween Costume Preview

Well, the 'tiger' is out of the bag... But these pictures were too cute to not share.  Aiden was snuggling with his Halloween costume.
