Run Kaden Run!!

Now that he has figured out how to run..he loves doing it! He will find any excuse to run in the house. Should I already make the "no running in the house" rule?

Merry Christmas To All

I was being goofy and had a brain storm.. The black background you see is Kaden's big area rug in his room hanging over his crib, and the hat on his head is not a Santa hat, it is a stocking. Haha! I thought it was a pretty good idea anyway! Well, this picture is simply Kaden looking like he just done something he wasn't supposed too.

I want to do it Dad...

This was Kaden's first time brushing his teeth. He didn't seem to mind it, but he kept wanting to take the tooth brush from Kyle's hand to brush his own teeth.. Precious Moments!

Kadens 1st Bday Party

We had Kaden's party the weekend after his birthday in Illinois, so he could celebrate it with family! We all had a great time! He was so funny when we gave him his own cake..he wouldn't touch it, as if he didn't want to get his hands dirty. Thanks to all how came to the party, Kyle and I greatly appreciate it! I still can't believe its been a year..

Happy Birthday Kaden!

Kaden's first Birthday! Wow, how time flies (I was very emotional today)! We had a great day! When Kaden woke up this morning we played really hard, then went to lunch with Kyle (Kaden had his first spaggetti and bread sticks)(I think he enjoyed himself), we went to Target to get a few things and of course buy Kaden a ball, went to the park, ate dinner at the house, and got ice cream for him.

Fall Into Autumn

I had taken these pictures in the sepia color for the scrapbook I was doing for Kyle on our anniversary. It just so happened that my mom and dad came down that weekend, so we got alot of great pictures! We played soccer, played in leaves, and had a good time all around!

Happy Halloween!

Kaden was a lion tonight.. He didn't feel very well but he was a trooper! The little boy in the picture above is Hayden (my friend Amy's son). Hayden was a pirate! I am anxious for Kaden to be Hayden's age so he will enjoy dressing up. Hopefully I will get more pictures of him before the night is over with!!

Kadens New Shirt From Gram

Mom, thank you so much for the shirt! It is darling on him, as you can tell! I can't believe after you guys having him for four nights that he walks 10 times better.. Anyways, thanks for keeping him! We love you guys!

Go Red Wolves!!!!!

...and they will tell you that I made them dress alike! Aren't they cute!?! Kaden went to his first football game last weekend and he just loved it, well until it started to rain on us.. But he was a trooper!

Our First Fair Adventure..

Tonight we all went to the fair.. Kaden and I got to pet the animals at the petting zoo(while daddy was feeding the llama with his mouth), we fished, we tossed rings, we ate, and walked alot!! We had such a great time on our first family fair adventure!!

Now That He Has Teeth..He Loves Showing Them Off

I just so happened to get this wonderful shot of Kaden. He always smiles like this and it just cracks Kyle and I up! But it never fails everytime I try and catch this exact smile, he turns around or starts chasing Tucker.. Thought you grandparents would really like this one! So this is for ya' all!

I Just Love My Boys

This picture has to be one of my favorites.. And I know I say that about every one of them with Kyle and Kaden in it!! I don't know what I would do without the two of them! I am so blessed to love this much!!!!!!

Some Of Kaden's Favorite Things.. Outside & Balls

Kaden loves being outside.. Either stroller rides, playing ball, watching Kyle and I work in the yard, sitting on the back porch in the mornings, or just sitting in the grass (which he just started liking)! He is so much fun right now! Kyle is really enjoying him at this stage because he can really interact with him.

Happy Fathers Day, Daddy!

Kyle, Kaden and I took both of our parents to Mexico back in May (so Kaden was six months). I took this picture when Kyle went back to the house to take a nap.. I thought that it would be a great Fathers Day present! I took this picture to my brother Kevin and told him that I wanted it a 12" by 12" and asked him if he could make the sand look smother and do the color better.. Kevin did everything I asked plus more (this is what it looked like before he got a hold of it). Thanks bub!!! Kyle loved it on Fathers Day!!

Two peas in a pod

As most of you know Kyle and I moved from New Mexico to Arkansas.. Our next door neighbors have a son three months younger than Kaden and his name is Kaden as well!! So on the left is Morgan and Kaden and on the right is of course Kaden and I.. Ironic huh?

Kaden's first wedding

When we went to Albuquerque last weekend we attended Kyle's cousins wedding. This picture was taken at the reception. After they cut the cake all of a sudden this loud music came on.. Kyle and I were afraid that Kaden was going to get scared (I think it scared us more). He loved it!! He was dancing and giggling!!

PRICELESS!!

Kyle, Kaden and I went to back to Albuquerque last weekend to visit family and the best of friends! This is Mychele, Ashley and Kaden all grow'n up since the last time they had been together.. They were used to seeing each other about three times a week, and now that we live in Arkansas it has been two months:( We miss ya' all so much!!!!

"Did you say something, mom?"

Why do all of us moms/dads and grandmas/grandpas buy our kids toys? They always go for cardboard boxes, the dogs toys, cords, hangers (hints the picture).. I was hanging clothes in the closet and I had a pile of hangers in the floor, and of course my little shadow was right by me. He thought that was the coolest thing!

Kaden hasn't realized that there are 2 of Grandpa..!

This picture was taken over the 4th of July.. Kyle, Kaden and I went back home to Illinios to visit family and we ended up at my Uncle Sam's house watching fireworks, eating hotdogs and smores' around the camp fire. If ya' all didn't know that my dad is a twin, well now you do.. My Uncle Larry is on the left and my dad is on the right they actually are holding the other ones grandkid (?don't ask me?).

First Time At The Park

We had the best time yesterday at the park! It was a beautiful day and we thought "why waste it?" Kaden went down the slide by his self (that didn't work out very well), so then we held him while going down the slide and he swung in the swing that he is still too small for.. We also took Tucker so he could get some fresh air because of his injury and he just loved it!
