accomplished.

dearest justin--

it's been an aiden photo day.

i think emily is only in one shot...

and she's in the background, blurred out.

oh, well.

at spanish "house" we talked about my family,

my house, colors...

ashley spoke spanish,

i translated to your kids.

honestly.

i asked emily what a word in spanish was one day and she said, "i don't know!"

so i asked, "well, what did ashley tell say it was??"

hand on hip..."mommy, ash-a-ley speaks SPANISH!

i don't know what she says!!"

while em was in class,

aiden was "exploring" in the living room.

he sat on my lap at one point and slammed his head back on my chest

so hard that you could hear my huge gasp for air as

i stopped, mid-sentence, talking to one of the mom's.

awesome.

there's my newest spray painted project.

i love it.

so bright and crisp!

here are the photos i promised you.

he was so excited to show me.

(for everyone else,

while i was at class tonight,  aiden was jumping off the diving board,

to his papa below. 

for an hour and a half straight! 

this is a big deal for him.)

glad your parents are giving them private swimming lessons. :)

i had to crop this one...

i love his face in it.

the first jump was too blurry...

you get the after.

haha.

keep scrolling....

aiden and papa have a routine.

aiden jumps out to papa.

then holds on to papa's vest,

as papa swims backwards to the side,

where aiden climbs up all by himself.

i swear if that kid doesn't sleep til 10 am,

i will be completely shocked.

he jumped for me 3 times after i returned from my class.

he was really tired and had a hard time climbing up the last time.

he climbed part of the way and fell back in the water.

haha.

he had a great time!!

and these are from yesterday...

i thought for sure emily was asleep.

i walked by her room and i saw a little movement through the cracked door.

i opened it to find this.

all over her floor.

hahhahaha.

"they're taking naps, mommy."

i was trying not to laugh as i told her to get to bed.

at least somebody got a nap in her room yesterday. :)

and if anyone wants to buy my stepdad's property on harry,

i would bake cookies for you forever.

oh, they so desperately need to get rid of that property!!
