Yahnke Update

It appears the last time I checked in was April with an update of the Yahnke household, so I figure I better play catch up!

Not much has changed in the way of jobs, we are both still at the same full-time jobs, and part-time jobs. I haven’t worked EMS since June, as I am on an as needed basis for them, but I am finally working my first shift (training finally completed that I started in April) on my own this Thursday as a firefighter for Springettsbury. We still spend most free time at the station in Red Lion as volunteers, Aidan is learning how the tools work, backs up the trucks and rolls hose!





Aidan had his birthday, which mom posted some of the pictures of his new ride! I understand why they call it the terrible twos, although it’s not terrible, just tiresome! Someone is very independent and can do it himself. He would prefer to walk than ride in the stroller and wants to see how far he can get when he is told no before I chase after him! We took him the Friday of his birthday to Chuck E Cheese, which I was deprived of as a child. He had a blast, except he wanted to go up through the tube that goes around the entire place. So I put him up in (after Joe convinced me to), and he starts running down through. Oops! He can’t find us, so he starts screaming. Joe & I are arguing who’s going up to get him, since I have a skirt on and Joe claims he is over the weight limit. So not so gracefully, I climb up in to find him. Yeah, he’s found, now he takes off running again! Joe decides to start video taping the event and calling friends, while I’m trying to climb through a tube that is clear so everyone below can see me chasing a 2 year old around while wearing a skirt!

We went to NY camping as usual for the week of July 4th. We rented a small cabin this year instead of a tent, which was good since it rained all but 1 day! We did get to a water park for an afternoon before it rained, which Aidan loved. Aidan also loved riding the bus that went through the park taking you into town. We even had Pizza Hut deliver to the campsite which was perfect since a bear eat all our food the night before! 8 other friends where camping as well with us, and we were only 10 minutes from Joe’s mom, so we were able to catch up with her.


We had friends come visit from Florida in July, and their brought their dog, a Weimariner, so we had two in the house which greatly confused Aidan!

We’ve been to a couple local ballgames here in York, as this is their second year with a team. Aidan has discovered the playground there, so we don’t get to see too much of the game! This past Sunday, we took the fire company for a picnic there, but it was also dogs in the park day. So Aidan spotted all the Tuckers running everywhere, then found the kiddie pool full of water for the dogs to drink out of, and decided to go swimming in it! YUCK! But he loved it!
Joe & I went with several friends to see Kidd Rock & Lynrd Skynrd at Hershey Stadium, which was a great concert.


Stefani’s mom rented a place in Ocean City, MD for a week the beginning of August, so Travis & Stefani went down for a few days, then Aidan & I drove down after church on a Sunday and came home Monday. Decided to spend the night this year, since we had bad whether last year when Stefani & I tried to take Aidan for the day! Thank goodness, since it poured rain the entire drive down on Sunday! Monday was awesome though and Aidan & Travis spent the day filling up holes with water, and Travis would built castles only to have Aidan kick them over. He only liked being in the water if he was being held, and I only drowned him once! Not sure who had more fun though, Travis or Aidan!
















The following weekend, I took Aidan to the Buck to watch Combine Demolitions. It was fun and Aidan loved it, but I am paying the price now! He has decided to “Crash” all his cars, trucks, tractors and anything else that has wheels whenever he gets the chance! He even spent the day crashing Olivia (his friend that lived with us for awhile) during her 2 year birthday party Saturday on their bikes! Aidan, myself, Travis, Stefani & grandpa are going to Ag Progress Days tomorrow hoping to correct him of this bad habit he has now picked up!














That seems to catch us up for the time being! I included a few pictures to give you some visuals of our adventures this summer!
