Sppplish Sppplash Aiden is in the bath

After a long hard day of eating, spitting-up, poopin', peein' and sleepin' it's time for little Mr. Aiden's for favorite activity BATH TIME!!!

Next on deck!!!

We thought the best way to reveal to everyone what we were having next would be best presented by the following poem:

Little Boys are Treasures

Little boys are treasures

Who are worth their weight in gold
And charm everyone around them
From the time they're hours old.

They're Mommy's little darling,
They're a special pal to Dad,
And they bring the very happiest days
A family's ever had!

Baby Boy Gettin' Big

Summer is almost over and we're gearing up for fall. Aiden just had his 6-mo. check-up and photo shoot. Both went on without a hitch. He's a master at rolling over and is working on his crawl. His two bottom teeth are finally making their way above the surface and he's eating "big boy" food. Check him out on our new pics.

August Rush (Down the Slide)

Yes, the slide was definitely bigger and better this year (22ft long compared to 17ft.) at the annual Harvest Party, hosted by Chad and Anne Marie. It was actually two slides in one. The BBQ-ed beef and chicken kabobs were also a big hit. We had great time visiting, sliding, and the weather was just right. See for yourself with our slide show.

Summer Lovin'

So we decided to check out the park scene in downtown Wilsonville at Murase park. It was a picture perfect day and yes we just so happened to have our camera!!! We had a great time at the park and took a long long walk. It was awesome soaking in the rays and enjoying a beautiful summer evening. Click on the picture below to see all the photo's!!!

Fourth of July

Well well well this is a big update.... I mean h u g e .... we have pictures galore and news news news....

So first things first.... WE ARE PREGNANT!!!! That's right number two is on it's way. Before Aiden turns one he will have a little brother or sister! I don't know what we have gotten ourselves into but one thing is for certain we are going to be up to our eyeballs in with baby stuff....

Now, I could go on yammering about this and that but I will spare you all and get right to the good stuff.... pictures pictures pictures......

The first set is of Aiden and his 3 mo. old pictures. He was a little trooper and put up with an onslaught of wardrobe changes.

11 Week Update!!

After 11 weeks I'm back to my computer bring a much belated update with updated pictures about Aiden and his support staff (mom and dad).

Yesterday we took off to Canon Beach. With the temperature headed to the low 90's we thought it would be good day to head on over; well, so did everyone else. There was quite a few folks who decided to make the trek from Portland as well.

Before getting to Canon Beach we took a little side trip and hiked up Saddle Mountain. 4 miles round trip with Jodi carrying an extra 11 pounds of baby on her chest. I'm very proud of both of them. Aiden even had a little snack right between the saddle, pretty cool little dude.

Check out our pics.

Here are some other pics of our little guy as well.

Baby Aiden

Baby Boy Born!!!

Greg and Jodi Proudly Present Aiden Gregory Stephens!!!

Weighing in at 7.9lbs. and 19 and some odd in. long. (It's been a long night so we'll get the details later) Aiden was born at Merdian Park Hospital in Tualatin, Oregon at 11:43am.

It was a bit of an emergency C-Section but baby and mama are doing awesome!!!

Check back for more details, pictures and video....

Time flys....Kinda!!!

Wow, my last entry was at Christmas and Jodi was baking more then just cookies and much to her chagrin she still has something in the oven.

Yes, were coming down to just a few more days and Jodi and I are anxious to see our baby boy.

The official due date is not until March 2nd but our doctor as assured us that Jodi won't be late.

I will be sending out a mass email announcement as soon as he's here and maybe even when he's on his way. Feel free to leave us a voicemail or a comment.

Happy Holy-Day

Jodi and I want to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas.

I can't believe how fast time flies. Our last entry was around Thanksgiving and here we are to Christmas Eve already!!

Yesterday was pretty dang cool. A bit of a dream come true if you will. Let me set the scene for you. It's a beautiful rainy dark day in Oregon. I'm out running errands with all the rain soaked gift toting crazies. I slide into the garage back home and walk into a little slice of heaven. My sweet beautiful pregnant wife is in the kitchen with grandma and the house smells like a gourmet candy shop. Chocolate chip cookies, heath candy bar squares and caramel corn is stacking up on the counter-tops in a endless stream of calorie stuffing goodness. It's hard to believe that this scene could get any better but in about two months it will!! Sure the sight and sounds maybe a little different but it will be awesome. Instead of walking into the house and hearing the sounds of "White Christmas" on the TV it will be filled the cries of a baby boy and instead of the sweet smell of cookies there will be the smell of...of... well.... the smell of baby I guess.....

Yeah, the look of the counter-tops will change too.... instead of the cookies and caramel corn there will be formula and diapers and well more baby stuff.

2008 it going to be great and by the grace of God we will have a healthy baby boy.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!
