Aiden and Nonna Baking a Cake

Here are two pictures of Aiden and my mom making a cake. Aiden loves to help in the kitchen. he might just be a chef like his Zio Mimmo! My mom had bought a new baking cook book, so she and Aiden made a cake this evening. We have been doing pretty good staying busy of course. 

Just getting ready to watch the Angels vs. Dodgers game. I really want to go out to Chavez Ravine in LA  this weekend to root my Angels on! I am unsure if we will go or not. We are going to Angel Stadium on July 4th then again on the 6th. 

Yesterday at Ontario Mills I bought Aiden some flip flops and it is so funny because he can not quite walk in them right so he kind of drags his feet along. It's so funny, but he will not take them off. Every waking moment he wants them on. Off to watch the game.  

Aiden and Dora

Sorry for the long delay in posting.

Here is a picture of Aiden and his pet Guinea Pig "Dora" who he named himself after " Dora the Explorer" TV show. 

I took this picture yesterday after swimming.

Aiden loves Dora. He is always wanting to hold her and let her run around his toys.

We have been pretty busy around here. Today we went to Ontario and went shopping for a little while. I bought Aiden some winter clothes from the children's place. We also got tickets for the Angels game on July 6th from our friend Paul. I am so excited it is picture day with the players. So I will for sure post some awesome pictures after. 

Today was Aiden's last day of swimming lessons for this session, but I signed him up for the next session. This time with a semi-private lesson with his favorite teacher Erin. Aiden also jumped off the diving bored today, but Anthony did not get a picture of it I was so sad. Ok, Aiden did not jump willingly it took a lot of coxing and he screamed but I am glad that he did it. My goal after this next set of lessons is for him to jump to her willingly. Hopefully after lessons are over for the summer he will be able to swim a little. I just wish we had a pool.   Till later! I will post more tomorrow!

SICKO

Yesterday, Anthony, my dad and I watched the movie SICKO by Michael Moore. What an eye opening  documentary that was. I recommend that if you can watch it to do so. You will not believe what is in the movie. It is about Healthcare in the United States and how other countries including CUBA have a lot better medical care than we do. Pretty Shocking!!!

Sorry no picture right now I do not have any new ones to post. Yesterday we pretty much just sat around all day. We did go to Target that was the extent of doing anything. It is just too hot, you do not even want to leave your house. Today is back to swimming lessons for Aiden, this is the lat week but I am thinking about signing him up again for another 2 weeks. Well I am off to go get ready before my dad gets back with Aiden, they went together for a ride to the bank. I will try to post some pictures tonight.

Aiden and His Girlfriend!!!

So we went to Disneyland yesterday! It was great. When we left Disneyland at 11:15 at night it was 88 degrees outside. Crazy Hot! We did not stay to long but it was worth it. We went on the new ride at California Adventure Park called Toy Story Mania. Aiden and his friends really enjoyed it. Aiden's score was 4,700, My mom's score was 75,000 and I had a score of 101,000 it was a neat ride. We also watched the Electrical Light Parade, the fireworks, we rode the train around Disneyland Park then right before we left we went on Buzz Lightyear one of Aidens favorite rides. Then it was time to go home the kids were so tired. 

Sorry I did not take any pictures at Disneyland. So I leave you with this a picture of Aiden and (my best friend) (Aiden's Girlfriend) Brandie.

To Go To Disneyland or Not

Sorry for no post yesterday. It was pretty crazy. Aiden went to swimming lessons. Then we went off to Joyce's house to swim in her pool with Aiden's best friends Joey and Jacob. Aiden is becoming a lot less intimidated of the pool which is great. Hopefully he will be a fish just like his mommy was. 

Tonight we are going to Chick-fila with Joyce and the boys and are thinking about going to Disneyland after since we will be halfway there and it will not be nearly as hot at night. It has been about 106 during the day here. Way too hot for my liking! I hate this weather! Give me rain any day. I know you all in England can not believe that I am saying that but. It is just so hot now! Aiden is in a stage where he loves talking on the phone. It is so funny. Pondering the idea to go or not. I would like to go but how well will Aiden do there until midnight. My mom is also thinking about going with us. We will see. If we go I will sure to post some pictures.

Talk to you Later!!!  I leave you with a picture of Aiden at his swimming lesson yesterday.

Wordless Wednesday!!!!

Have fun with wordless Wednesday!

Swimming

Aiden went to his swimming lessons again today. He enjoyed it more today. It will be a matter of time before he becomes a little fish like his mommy was. He is taking swimming lessons at the same place that I learned how to swim almost 20 years ago. I think that the fact that his best friend Joey is in the same class is helping him lesson his fear when he sees Joey doing it. He is becoming a little more daring. He let the teacher dunk him under the water and was pushing off the wall letting her catch him.  I am thinking about signing him up again for the two weeks after this session. 

We are all sitting around watching the Laker's game and Aiden is throwing the ball around pretending to be Kobe!! He is also yelling GO LAKERS!!!! When it comes to sports I think Aiden has it down. Thanks to his mom and grandparents. He absolutely loves the Angels and is always asking when we are going to go to an Angels Game. 

Summer school for me starts next week, but I am taking all online classes so it should not be pretty easy. I am hoping that we will be able to go out some more. Lots of plans on going to Disneyland and staying local. I can't wait to spend some good quality time with him since I have been going to classes full time, I feel sort of  like we have not spent enough time together. So this summer we will stay busy.

Feel free to leave us comments.  Until tomorrow

Birth of My Blog

So I am new to this blogging thing but what the heck. I have the whole summer off so I have to do something right. I have decided to do this so many of you far away can share in the joy of Aiden's life and new accomplishments. Things are crazy here so I will try to post as often as  I can and will try to post daily pictures. So to all the family and friends out there far far away this is our way of connecting to you! A little update on life: Aiden started swimming lessons today he was scared at first but slowly warmed up. I think he is going to love it! We also got him registered for next year of pre-school. To top the day off we went to Dr.Kwasman's office to check his head circumference because of the hydrocephalus. All in all it went will his head is measuring a little big so we are going to keep an eye on it. My little 3 and a half year old is now a whopping 27lbs. LOL (thats a joke) he is not even on the chart for his  weight.  

This picture was taken last wednesday and I love it. It was taken by a wonderful photographer named Yvonne that we found. I am trying to convince Anthony into buying me a nice D-SLR camera thats all I want. I think I would love to take somewhat professional pictures of Aiden on a daily basis so that I can post them. 

Feel free to pass on the address to anyone that you might know!

Love to all and Hope to see you all soon!!!!
