Don't Go Out and Break Your Stupid Arm

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 out there and I'm like, you ate something didn't you!? What did you eat!? 

CHERRY TOMATOES!!! He ate flipping cherry tomatoes! 🤦

And I was like, AIDEN!!! Crap! Now what the heck do we do!? You can't have surgery if u ate anything! He told me he only ate a couple so I was like, OH MY GOSH, let's just go I guess, but they might send us home, I have no idea 😆

So we went, I explained the situation to a hundred people a hundred times and the anesthesiologist was so pissed at us 🤣 we talked to the Dr. and he was like, it's fine... We'll just suction the tomatoes out of his stomach before we do the surgery.

So they did, and when the anesthesiologist came in after, the first thing he said was....that wasn't just a couple😡😆 still so pissed😆 we laughed so hard about it 😉

While I was waiting, I went and found him the little anteater at the gift shop 🥲❤️

When we went back in for our follow up, we took his Dr a box of cherry tomatoes with a thank you note 😉

It'll always be one of my favorite Aiden stories.

Peter Iredale Shipwreck

 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...
