Baby Bear Visit

 In the springtime of 2022 we heard that bear world was bringing out some of their new baby bears that you could hold and pet and get a picture with, so we decided to go at the very last minute and even bought the picture, which u know u never do because it's always stupid expensive Lol!😉 We must have been inspired though, because it's one of my favorites and ended up being one of the most recent pictures of all of us together that we have, it was just a month before he died 😢❤️ Aiden and Colton were messing around in the line and I had to keep telling them to knock it off, which was the usual for Aiden and Colton Lol😆 Aiden put on my glasses and was like, oh my GOOOOSH what's wrong with your eyes!?🤣 We learned that baby bears purr when they're happy, and got to listen to the little baby bear purr (I had no idea baby bears purred!!! It was adorable!!!) it was just a fun day, and one that I was even grateful at the time because aiden was 17 and it's hard to pin down 17 year olds! I look back now and feel like it was such a gift❤️ I'm grateful for all the time we spent together over the years. I'm so grateful that I can look back and say without a doubt that we took every chance we were ever given to spend time together as a family❤️ because now those memories are the most important thing in the world. They're all we have 😢💔 All I can say is hang on tight to the ones you love and never take a day for granted...because life can change in an instant 😢💔🥲❤️ Love you Aiders❤️

Peter Iredale Shipwreck

Image
 These were from Astoria and the Peter Iredale shipwreck on the Oregon coast. We went and saw the Goonies House, Astoria Column, and the cool ships in the harbor. The kids really liked the shipwreck and it was really fun to go visit, they loved playing in the sand and on the beach, and Aiden was such a good sport and let everyone bury him. He was always the ringleader when it came to finding all the fun things to do🥲❤️

Sleep Shenanigans

Image
 Aiden and his sleeping shenanigans was the funniest thing ever. He was always sleep walking, sleep talking, and when he got tired, it didn't matter where he was, he would just tip over. I can't even count how many times he fell asleep at the dinner table 😆 He rarely made it through movies. One time at a hotel he almost sleep walked out the door in the middle of the night, luckily it had one of those locks at the top so every time he pulled the door it slammed into that and woke me up! Another time he came walking out to the living room and we had a set of stairs between it and his room. He sat down on the stairs and I was like, "hey buddy, whatcha doin?" he looked at me and said, "what does it look like I'm doing?" and laid down on a stair and went back to sleep. The first 2 pics of this set is one of my favorite memories, we rode a ferry from Seattle to Victoria B. C. and while we were waiting for dinner, he totally just tipped over and fell asleep at...

Don't Go Out and Break Your Stupid Arm

Image
Oh Mr. Aiden... This whole incident was just CRAZY 🤦 One day Aiden wanted to go and climb the tree in our yard. I was cooking dinner and didn't want him to, and as he was walking out the door I said, "you better be careful! Don't go out there and break your stupid arm!" 5 minutes later, he came back in all pale, nauseous, and covered in dirt and was like, "mom, I think I broke my arm" and I was like YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! I told you NOT to go out and do that!!!  I took one look at it and was like, yep...arms are definitely not supposed to look like that...that's broken. And indeed it was...displaced and everything, and of course ended up needing surgery🤦 So surgery day came, and I told him multiple times.... Nothing to eat or drink after midnight. We had to be there really early in the morning so as I'm getting ready I hear some rustling out in the kitchen and yelled, what are you doing!? You better not be eating! Silence. So I go running...
