A Date with Uncle Blake

Aidan was a little devastated when Blake and Estee informed him that he would be wearing a HOT PINK tie for the wedding. Aidan is a boy of all boys. Doesn't like any signs of girliness and pink is girly. Yes, he got this from his dad. They are on the exact same page when it comes to boys wearing pink...........they shouldn't.

Well with months of lecturing and prepping Aidan about having to wear the tie without complaining, I told Aidan to cut a deal with Blake. So he came up with this deal. He wanted a date alone with Blake to Nielsen's Frozen Custard in Bountiful, UT and here's the kicker, they had to wear CAMO. See that manhood just exuding from him. Well, Blake took the deal. Aidan was so excited for his date. We were swimming when Blake told us he would be back in about 40 minutes to take Aidan out. Aidan hurried home from the pool and got ready. He put on his camo shirt and his camo shorts. He sat right at the front window waiting for Blake to come home. It was so cute to see him so excited for his special date alone with Blake. I don't know if Blake remembered but luckily he was wearing camo too.


As planned they went to Nielsen's for concretes, only the best ice cream ever. I guess while they were there Blake told him he could order whatever he wanted. So he ordered a cookie dough concrete. Then he looked at Blake and said can order a root beer too? Blake said, yep. Boy was in heaven. Blake told Aidan a secret that night that he wasn't allowed to tell anyone until the night before Blake's wedding. He loved that too that he had a special secret with Blake.

Aidan's got a good Uncle who keeps to his promises.

He is a super Uncle. I wonder what the secret was though?

We had the best time ever!

On the way over there we were talking about how much fun it will be to have everyone in the family together again. Aidan was so excited to hang out with his cousins. Then he said "This is just like a Carter Family Reunion." With a look of sadness and dissapointment he mumbled "The only thing different is that we won't have any family t-shirts. :(" I asked him if he could keep a secret and not tell anyone. The only people who know are Estee and me. He assured me no one would be told. The secret was that Estee and I had made family t-shirts with everyone's name on it in the family that had "Blake & Estee Carter Just Got Married!"
The day before the wedding Aidan and I surprised the whole family with a huge box of tshirts. He was the perfect partner for keeping this secret and is the coolest to take to Nielsen's Custard.
