Fun with Collages

I started out doing a collage for Kyle for his birthday with some of his soccer pictures. Well, it took way longer than I thought it would and then I thought I should do one for the other two, but it took me weeks before I got back around to making theirs. Then I just didn't have the time, so theirs ended up being only 2 pictures instead of 4. So, no favoritism here, just time hacks! :)

A little of everything....

Once again I find myself very far behind in blogging..... Blogging used to be something I did at night. Jason was gone 3-4 nights a week and worked late on the nights he did come home, so after the kids went to bed, I had lots of time. Now that Jason actually comes home every night (yay!) I find my blogging has gone out the window. Once he leaves again, I am sure I will be better at keeping it up. Though I am not anxious for that to happen.

Here is a little peak at the last month in pictures:

Kyle with his new ball for his birthday (which only lasted 2 days cause it got so much use)

Kyle on his birthday

On his birthday we went and had lunch with Aiden at school and then took Aiden out early and headed to a park.

Our kids love to climb, climb, climb.

Jason doing some pull ups - the boys followed suit.
He does not look like it here, but he was very happy to be taken out of school early
Going backwards - this is the morning of his birthday.
Not quite the breakfast of champions, but the breakfast for a birthday boy. Donuts and chocolate milk.

From the look of these few pictures you would think all my kids do is eat sugar. Yum! Cookie dough.
Ryleigh doing her "homework". A lot of times when Aiden is doing his homework she gets this out and says that is what she is doing too.
Jason put this swing up in the only tree we have it our yard.
The new steps leading up into the fort.

A few weekends ago Jason's battalion had a function and they had a little petting zoo. I think these goats were pretty hungry. One is going for Aiden's shirt and the other one looks like it might break his neck trying to get food. They also had pony rides....


And this thing, which the boys thoroughly enjoyed!
One night the boys had a sleep over in the fort. I got a call at almost midnight asking for snacks to please be brought out in something that could be brought up in a bucket. :) I made some popcorn and went out and saw that Jason had made a pulley system and they were anxious to try it out. So up went the snacks in the bucket!
The stuff that memories are made of!

Jason also made this rope from them to go down. Up the stairs, down the rope. Over and over again!

That is all for now. Still have Kyle's birthday party and our Outer Banks vacation to put up. Hopefully it won't be another month before I get around to actually getting it done. :)

Welcome Maddax Austin!

To say I am behind in blogging is quite an understatement! I thought I should start with the most exciting family news and that is the birth of the newest member to enter into the extended Aguilar family. Maddax Austin was born on April 8th to Liz (one of my many sisters) and her husband, Matt. He weighed 7lbs. 9 oz. and I don't currently remember his length. :) Since I live far away I have yet to meet him. :( But I get daily text pictures to keep me up to date and I can not wait to meet and hold him! Congrats Matt and Liz!!

Kyle turns 5

I have no idea where the last 5 years went. But, somehow they are gone and Kyle is now 5. He is very proud of his new age and did not want to stay 4, even though I begged him too. :) He is our soccer star, our ever moving, always doing something dangerous boy. Yet despite his wild side, he is super sweet and gentle. He tells us over and over, almost hourly, how much he loves each one of us. Some of his favorite expressions are "I love you infinity" or "I love you to the stars". He had a fun birthday, full of sugar, and is looking forward to his party on Friday.
