Our Big 2 Year Old!

This year for Kaden turning 2, Grandma and Grandpa got him his own slide for outside! He LOVES it! They came up and put it together a couple days before his bday so he could play on it and show all the cousins when they came for his party. He can go down front ways on his bum and backwards on his belly. Can't wait for lots of summer fun on this beauty!



For his party it was all Toy Story theme, of course! Kaden LOVES anything and everything Toy Story. Especially Buzz, so grandma and grandpa got him a life size Buzz balloon that Kaden pulled around with him wherever he went. We had all our family come to our house for pizza and cake and presents and to let all the kids just run and play and have a great time. Kaden loved every minute of it. It is truly his favorite thing to have all the people he loves in the same room together, especially if it is centered around him :) 
I can't believe we have a 2 year old! Time goes by so fast, he is getting so big and learning so many new things all the time. He is honestly a joy to have around all the time, everyone loves him as soon as they meet him, he's such a special guy. Kaden's favorite things are Toy Story, his racetrack at grandma's house, his beans, being with mom and dad, fries and nuggets and chocolate milk. We love you Kaden, you are our favorite little man ever and we love watching you grow and learn. You are our best buddy!

California Vacation!

This year we went on a California vacation with Jean. It was awesome! We went to the ocean, Sea World, and Disney Land. Kaden was a trooper and loved every minute of it. We tried to go back to the room and give him a nap everyday but he was always so patient and sometimes just napped in the stroller or car and still always had a great, happy attitude (we are so spoiled!) Shamu was awesome of course, Kaden loved seeing him and the dolphins, he's always liked fish. 






He LOVED the beach, throwing sand everywhere and finding little hermit crabs with dad was so much fun for this little boy. 








And of course who doesn't love Disney Land?! We must have rode the Buzz Astro Blasters ride at least a dozen ti mes, it was Kaden's favorite of course, it even had the Evil Emperor Zurg inside that Kaden always looked forward to seeing and shooting. His other favorite rides were It's a Small World, The Jungle Cruise, The Tikki Room, and any carousel we could ever find (this kid loves carousels.)           



He got to meet Woody and Buzz in real life (not sure where our Buzz pics are at the moment) Woody was really nice and played with Kaden for a long time. Kaden really opened up and was giving high fives and hugs all over the place. What a treat!                                                        

We had so much fun every single day. Jean took Kaden back to the room one night so Paul and I could have a magical Disney night all to ourselves, which was so much fun. We ate good food (mostly churros) and rode so many fun rides. We made memories that will last forever. Even at Kaden's young age he is still talking about the tikki room, small world, and all the rides he got to go on and people he go to meet. Thanks GaGa Jean for treating us to such a special vacation.
