Canon's Truck

Canon had transportation week at school and had to bring a picture of a vehicle to school. He decided he wanted a picture of him on Daddy's truck. Daddy was happy to oblige!

On an oddly warm February day, I packed up the kids and took them to My Big Backyard at Memphis Botanic Gardens. We always love going and playing and it seems like we discover something new each time we go. It was fun to just be outside after all the cold, we are ready for spring!

First they found a stage and put on a show for me...

This was Quinn's dancing?

Then we played in the music playhouse

And the Eye Spy Playhouse

Got to swing a little bit

And just run and play

And work on our balance

The Party

Once everyone arrived they all sat down at the laptops and learned how to program their robots.

Canon was right in the midst of it, amazing how easy he caught on! He was helping the robot lady!

Quinn wasn't so sure about all these people and wires, so she hung with Daddy.

Trying out the programming on the robot sumo match mat.

Once they were programmed they went to the bits part, decorating their robots for BATTLE!

This was Aidan's, with all the claws. I have to tell you when I saw the "legos" I was a little unsure where they would even go on the robots, the kids were so creative and came up with some really cool things!

After the were decorated it was time for BATTLE! Todd ran 1 on 1 battles and they had a blast.

It was OUT OF THIS WORLD....bad pun, I know.

Then they ate chik-fil-a and cake

After everyone left, Aidan and Canon enjoyed all the empty space in the house and flew Aidan's new helicopter (Thanks Aunt Ashley and Uncle Chris, he loves it, and so does Todd!)

Happy Birthday Aidan! We love you!

Aidan's B-day Pre-party

Aidan turned 9 a couple of weeks ago! 9....that's half of 18. He's half-way to....nope I can't finish it, here is our baby's pre-party. We had a bits, bytes, and bots party and it was SO much fun!
