Aidan's 7th Birthday




Hard to believe our 'little' boy has turned 7 this month! We had a great party with friends from Aidan's first grade class as well as some missionary 'cousins' as we say on the field. Aidan decided on a Chicken Little theme - thanks to a friend, Alicia, he had an adorable cake! Favorite presents included a ninja wrist beetle that shoots discs and the game Colocho (Twister). We played games in the garage and after the actual party was over, several ninjas, power rangers, and other super heroes enjoyed our backyard!

Abby decides to do her own hair!

The weather here during the dry season is very beautiful. Every day is sunny, sometimes with a nice breeze, usually somewhere in the low 80's. Since we couldn't find a sprinkler, we made due with a hose. Below, Aidan and Abby have their 'force fields' on (arms crossed) so that Daddy could not spray them. Then Aidan decided to take a turn, until he squirted Mom and Olivia and subsequently lost his privileges with the hose! It was great exercise and everyone slept good that night, including Olivia!
