MyPod

Aidan has been very enamored with daddy's "Pod". So today daddy set him up with one of his favorite tunes.

Thanksgiving Damage

On Aidan's second Thanksgiving he got to have the same food as everyone else. Turkey was not a particular favorite, but Pumpkin Pie was. Aidan had a very good time visiting with everyone.

Thanksgiving Day Preperations

Aidan was helping mommy this morning get ready for Thanksgiving. We are going to McMinniville for Thanksgiving at Aunt Evy and Uncle Bill's house.

Aidan the Tank Engine

Aidan got dressed up as Thomas the Tank Engine this morning. Daddy is home all day today to spend time reading books, playing and doing stuff around the house with Aidan.

Aidan visits Seattle

This past weekend Joanne, Aidan and I went to Seattle. We visited with several friends. We had dinner with some friends we haven't seen in a very long time. Aidan got to meet Sara, Don and Lila. It was a good time. Joanne and I learned that parking our car next to a store that had a model train in the window isn't a very good idea, because Aidan only wanted to back to see the train the at the store. Here is a pic of him at dinner.

I like the view from here

Howl-o-ween

Yesterday, we all went to the Oregon Zoo for their Howl-o-ween festivities. Megan, William and Grandma Diane all came along. Here is a photo of Aidan looking at a sea lion that was swimming very close to the window, and also a photo of Aidan and William in their Halloween costumes.

Aidan-o-lantern

Today Grandma Diane came over for dinner and we carved pumpkins from Joanne's garden. We had four good pumpkins this year.

Ice Cream!

On the way back from the beach we stopped at Tillamook and toured the creamery. I liked it when we had ice cream. I let Mommy have some of my milkshake.

A day at the beach

We went to the beach today. It was a very nice day, hot and not windy. I liked to smash the sand castles that Mommy made. I had a nice time going in the water. It was too cold for Mommy but Daddy played with me there.

The Great Outdoors

This past week Aidan had a great time at Detroit Lake in Detroit, Oregon. Aidan spent some time in a his very own boat. He spent time skipping rocks (mostly just throwing them). There was a new kitty (squirrel). All sorts to see and learn about.

Boo

Last night, while Mommy was working, Aidan and daddy had a marathon of reading books. Everytime daddy would pick up the new book he got last week (that he still hasn't gotten to properly look at), and comes running too him going "Book, Book" or "Daddy, book". One of the books we read was Leonardo the Terrible Monster by Mo Willems. In the book there is a part where the monster goes "BOO!". Aidan found this quite funny. We had a "BOO!" marathon for what was close to three hours. Mommy tried to play "BOO!" with Aidan, and he wasn't interested, but when daddy called on the phone today, the game picked right up over the phone from where we left off last night.

Summertime

Aidan has had a great time this summer. He's been to the zoo, he's been to two weddings, he's going camping this weekend, and so much other stuff. One of his favorite places has been his backyard. He has a lawn mower, a car, a gardening set, and all sorts. Here is Aidan at the 4th of July in Ridgefield.

And for my next trick. . .

Today Aidan was working on his latest moves on his skateboard.

The next Alan Titchmarsh???

Aidan today was trolling around his Grandma's house today looking for flowers to water.
