The Ford Family

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything, or anything interesting. School started again and has been keeping us busy, but I have been stuck at home all week with what ISU Student Health likes to refer to as "a probable case of the H1N1 virus." Meaning that since I already had my seasonal flu vaccine and that I positively have some sort of flu, they are not going to spend the money to run the official confirmation test. So, as predicted, I have the swine flu. My professor told me that I am her first official swine student, and I should feel special. I would have felt better if I had not contracted it.

In other news, Ty's band opened for Shinedown last weekend in St. George, Utah. I got to go down and help out and also received my first Photo Pass. I got to photograph Ty's band and also Shinedown, so hopefully I can build a good portfolio someday.
I also got to visit my nephew (and his parents) for a bit.

The kids and I have been cooped up in the house while I have been isolated this past week, so I have a few cell phone snapshots to share of them. We are getting ready for Halloween, the favorite holiday in this house. Aiden is going to be an Ewok and Adeline is going to be a koala. I am looking forward to it :) I will post koala pictures as soon as her costume arrives next week.

All of the Ford grandbabies (so far) and their names all start with A.(also, so far)

Aiden, Aaron, Adeline, Alix, and Andrew

And the little ones are not too interested :)
Thanks for the pictures Natalie!

Aiden and I decided to do some painting for his room a few months ago. He told me he wanted one with his name and "blue and green and a moon and clouds and some grass thingys." SO he helped me with the blue and white, and he also did a little painting of his own. :"


I was pregnant at the time, so I thought I should also do something for Adeline, but after I put her name down, I really had no idea what to put on it, so I decided I would wait until I got to know her a bit. I finally painted it for her last night, and i think it turned out well.




I also wanted to do something for their walls because we just moved Adeline into Aiden's room and I wanted it to be a new place for both of them, so yesterday Aiden and I went to the craft store and picked up some pre-stretched canvasses and I made these animals for them today. Aiden helped me pick which animals to put on the squares and I also picked a few with Adeline in mind. She is our little koala :)

I have been bad about updating, but we really haven't been too exciting.
Aiden had his tonsils and adenoids removed last month. Things went well, but his voice is still a little higher than we are used to. His stuffed otter got to into surgery with him and that made him feel much better.


Adeline is growing more and more each day. She is just a great baby and we are really enjoying her.

The end of summer is fast approaching and I just hope that school doesn't start too soon. ;)

Nothing new, but I haven't really posted since Adeline's birth announcement and thought I should....

So things have been getting hectic, but they are almost over for a while. Tomorrow kicks off Finals Week, so all of the final projects are due and it has been difficult to get them done with a 3 year old and a new baby who wants to be held all of the time. I am just trying to get done what I can without going crazy and I just keep thinking, it's only one more week.
Aiden and I went to the circus in Holt Arena on Thursday, and we had a pretty good time. It was nice to get out and have some mother/son time, even if he was a little crabby.

Adeline is growing more and more each day. She is still a really good, cuddly baby. :)
