Aidan is 8!

Things have been so busy the last month, so I was not prepared at all for Aidan's birthday.  Dr appts and medical homework and dealing with symptoms have completely taken over.  But we managed to get some respite time on Aidan's birthday, (thank you Mindi!) to get his presents purchased and some other errands taken care of.  The people who see us regularly know that we have bleach stained and holy (not the angelic kind) clothes.  We needed to get some replacements on a very meager budget.  Not done, but grateful for how much we were able to replace.

Anyway, Aidan wanted this Blue Mountain Mystery train set that we could not even find before.  When we found it, it was not at all what we thought he'd like.  He is very persistent in his requests for it... so with the help of a coupon, and both sets of grandparents, we managed to get it.  After opening it, I felt a tiny bit better about it. :)



 This is a duplo Cars 2 set with the plane.
We still cannot use regular legos... probably won't ever get to that point.
The duplo size have cuter toys anyway. ;)


 Aidan asked for the mini oreo cheesecakes.

Some of how he physically feels showing.


Because Aidan turned 8, they wanted to spotlight him in primary.
I'll share the spotlight info here too~

Fave primary song- I am a Child of God
Fave scripture story- When Nephi steers the ship back toward the promised land after being untied, from the Book of Mormon.  I'm surprised he didn't pick a New Testament story.
Christlike attributes Aidan possesses- tenderhearted/empathetic to others, humble, brave
Hobbies- reading, learning, anything involved with trains or other vehicles

We love Aidan so!!!
