Spring Break






I'm going to try and remember this last week...some of it is a bit of a blur! We had a day trip Monday to Auburn, Indiana. Kian stayed with my Grandma (a huge blessing by the way). We left Tuesday morning for New York to visit Chad's family. The car ride started off rough with the boys, but eventually we made it to Binghamton. It took about 10 hours. The boys did pretty well, but didn't sleep well. We were planning on staying in a hotel in Binghamton on Tuesday night with Kian while Aiden stayed with Chad's mom. Aiden ended up not feeling well (which was probably due to the massive amounts of food he ate during the trip, the kid was always hungry!) and slept with us instead. Needless to say, I didn't sleep much. Both boys in our room with one in our bed? Nope, sleep was not on the agenda, not to mention Aiden kicks like no other.


On Wednesday we spent the day with Chad's mom and it was a busy day! We went to Chuck E Cheese, Chad's mom's work, lunch with Danny, and then left for Rochester. It was a lot of fun though. We arrived late Wedneday night in Rochester. On Thursday we actually relaxed! Oh how nice it felt to not have to do something! Chad was able to watch the Master's on TV. Friday we went to Chad's uncle Sonny's memorial service. He passed away back in January, but had the memorial service so more family could attend. It was a very nice service and it was great to visit with so many relatives we don't normally see. We had lunch at a country club after the service. Aiden and Kian were such troopers. I left early to allow them to have naps and later that night Chad and I went out with Chad's cousin Robb and his wife. We had a great time playing cards and of course the ladies won...which helps. Saturday we celebrated Easter with the whole lot of relatives and then left that afternoon for home! Whew! We got home a little before 1 am on Sunday morning. I took a ton of pictures, so here are a few of them.
This may be my favorite picture ever of Kian. I love it. His favorite sandwich is pb&j, however, this is normally the result of him eating one!

Aiden was lifting weights and showing his muscles
A group shot of Chad's dad, Maureen (Chad's stepmom) and the boys.
Aiden golfing at the park...it was so cold!
Kian with Chuck E Cheese. I think they really bonded through this picture. :)

Aiden dunking on Chad. Foreshadowing of things to come??

It's always nice to visit family, but I wish we had about 3 more days before we went to school! Aiden received a ton of candy for Easter from the grandparents and now thinks candy is the best invention known to man. We also have to bring him down from the sugar high he was on! We had a great week!
