Aidan Update

We'll I know many of you have been worried about Aidan. Finally after 5 antibiotics, 4 shots, and breathing treatments we have had two good weeks and a great visit yesterday with the Doctor. She checked him out and said his ears look perfect. She did say that if this continues in the fall we may start talking about tubes but I am so relieved to know that he has spent two weeks now with out an ear infection especially with the fact that four teeth are breaking though. The Doctor said that the wheezing didn't mean that he is susceptible to having asthma many children his age go through this until age 5 and some never wheeze again. It is horrible having a sick child but we are so lucky that there isn't anything really wrong with our children. I have reflected alot this week on our family and how blessed we are to be happy and healthy.

We have a very busy few days approaching. I will post pictures soon of all of our adventures within the next few weeks. It's summer and I love it!

The Summer has Begun!

Today was Alex's last day in the 3 year old program at Mustard Seed. The kids all received a certificate for completing the program and then the fun began. They had every outside toy you can think of for the kids to play with except a swimming pool. I was excited and a little sad today thinking about how he will miss being in school. He LOVES Mustard Seed the teachers and all of the friends he has made. I love how much he has learned, how outgoing he has become, and how happy he is to be with friends. I'm so proud of him!
Aidan actually got in on the fun too. He walked around not even wondering where I was which meant something spectacular was going on around him. Everyone is so amazed that the little boy I used to bring in his carrier is running around playing with the big boys.
Yesterday we got out the sand box. I kept thinking, "Is it time? No. Is it time? No." I finally decided I would deal with whatever happens. Aidan had not been in a real sandbox he seemed amazed about the sand on his legs and how it went in the bucket. I think he was thinking, "What is this stuff?" To my amazement he did not eat any and Alex did not throw any.

We'll that's all for today. I am ready for the Holiday Weekend!

Take care!

Santa Fe

We had an Amazing vacation. We did a little too much partying but that's what vacation is for right! This is us in a picture at the only bar in Santa Fe that refuses to sell Bud products. Apparently the owner got into a argument with one of the Busch's 20 years ago, that's a long time for a grudge, so we found something else to drink!
This is a Kiva from the ruins we went to. Apparently the tribe would cover these and do there rituals within the Kiva. The ruins were amazing. They were Mountains formed by Volcanic Ash. There were many houses within the Mountain that the tribe would live in and that we got to experience.
The church is Santuario De Chimayo one of the most famous churches in the United States. The story of the church is that a priest drowned in the river and his cross was found later in this spot. They would take the cross to another location and every night it would disappear and return to a small puddle where it previously was. They decided that instead of taking the cross back to the church that a church should be built where it was found. Some say that the dirt has healing powers and some believe it is the river behind the church. Inside where you find the dirt there are many crutches left behind from people that were healed.
This is the miracle staircase. All that is known is that a carpenter coming through worked for months on building the staircase and when he finished he just left. There is one support at the bottom but no others throughout. It was beautiful. The scary thing is that for years the nuns would go down this staircase with no railing. It was added later.


I went horseback riding on a mountain just on the outskirts of Santa Fe. This is me and Abby at the top of the mountain. It was beautiful to say the least. I also added a picture of the Mayor of Madrid. She is the Mayor only because she owns the most property in the town. Interesting huh!


Anyway, we had an amazing adventure. Alot of sight seeing, relaxing, partying, and fun. I feel so relaxed, rejuvenated, and happy. Thank you Aaron for taking all of your Adventures with me. I love you!

Alex's Birthday!

Alex's birthday was wonderful. He was so excited about his party and all of his friends coming. We started a few weeks early creating the shirts for the party. Alex's first comment was, "Mom, these are wicked cool!" I was so happy that he was excited about the shirts and happy that I was able to pull them off. I started with a picture of stud boy and his two girlfriends Faith and Flynn. He is so funny about these girls and so gentle and sweet with them. I know I am in for it when he turns 16!

Everything in the Julian household has turned into Superhero's! He loved his Spidey cake and blowing out the candles with Daddy!

I was lucky that he thought the day of his party was his birthday since we were going out of town. Who doesn't love two birthdays though. He enjoyed his actual birthday with a party at school and with Grandma at Chuckie-Cheese. I just can't believe that my little 5 pound baby is 4. I love you Alex!
