Birthday Party #3 at Grammy and Poppy's

This last weekend we went down to Torrington to celebrate Aiden's birthday(for the 3rd time). You can never have too many birthday party's, though, right?! Jean, Brian, and the kids were down as well, and whenever all of the cousins get together you know there's going to be FUN!! It was a beautiful weekend, and the kids started early Saturday morning with some bubbles. Aiden was the designated "bubble popper". He had a blast chasing them all over the yard.

It's a pretty serious job....

Aiden definitely enjoyed his job. He probably should be nominated for employee of the month:)

Tyson is always up for a little B-ball...and I do mean ALWAYS!!!

Look...it's my little "Air Jordan"!

Meanwhile, these three boys were taking part in their own little parade. Diego and Harley even joined in on the fun.

Grammy showed Tyson her skills on the court...she gave him a run for his money!

Grammy must have been pretty tough on Tyson, because he soon decided it was time for some wagon action.

Too much sunshine....went straight to Aiden's head....AGAIN!

Diego appears to be hiding from something. Hmmmm...I wonder from what?

Ah-ha!! Aiden loved chasing Diego all over the yard. Not so sure how Diego felt about it, however.

After lunch we went over to the softball fields for some friendly baseball. Aiden even got to play. Every time he hit the ball instead of running to first base, he would chase after the ball and try to get to it before Tyson. I guess we'll need to work on that a little.

Looks like a high pitch.

Grammy getting some little guy lovin!

"Grammy-Poppy" got to be the horsey...and boy did Aiden have fun at the rodeo.:)

Before heading back to the house Poppy decided to show everyone how a pro plays baseball. I must say...Poppy's got some wheels. He had Scott chasing him around the bases like a kid after an ice cream truck!

The fun didn't stop when we went back to the house. A big game of basketball ensued while the burgers and hot dogs were being made over the fire pit for supper.

Little guy checking out the lawn mower.

I'm not sure if these three sat down at all on Saturday. They were going non-stop!

After supper we celebrated Aiden's birthday....with another crocodile cake.

Aiden had some red cheeks, ears, and forearms. He didn't wear a jacket because it was so nice out, and his brilliant mother never thought about needing sunscreen. Between all of the dirt and sunburn he looked pretty rough by the end of the night. Put it this way, between all 3 boys Grammy's tub didn't stand a chance!

The boys doing their "funny" pose. Anyone else think Tyson's looks familiar?!

Little guy chillin with some aloe vera soaked skin and milk. What more could you ask for?

Sunday morning started with some famous biscuits and gravy. The boys helped Poppy with the biscuits. There were chickens, buffalo, stars, and circles. Kyra was Grammy's helper to make the gravy. As always, they did a great job!

As promised, after breakfast, Poppy took the boys for a ride on the lawn mower.

Aiden wanted nothing to do with the "rides" at first, so him and Kyra just ran along behind.

It wasn't long, though, before he decided he better try it out and see what all of the excitement was about. The rest is history...from then on out he didn't want to get off. He was all smiles.

"Go past, go past (aka-fast) Grammy-Poppy!"

Everyone had a blast at Grammy and Poppy's. We weren't even out of Torrington, when Tyson told us he was sad to have to leave, and Aiden is already asking when we are going back.
