Family Walk

We decided to get out of the house and go for a walk last night for a breath of fresh air and some much needed exercise. So we grabbed Yolanda's tacos first, so delicious! Then we walked along the Plum Creek Trail. Kaden had a blast, we walked down by Festival Park and found a tunnel with water he could throw rocks into, heaven for this little boy.                                               

I spotted a crawdad and of course Paul had to catch it to show Kaden. At first Kaden was a little unsure but then he was finding grass for the crawdad to pinch and hold and having a great time. 

As we were walking back this snake jumped out of nowhere at me and tried to attack! Paul wanted to pick it up and show Kaden but it turned out to be a violent little snake so they just chased it for a bit and watched it slither. Kaden loved it! He also spent a lot of time chasing all the rabbits. All in all it turned out to be quite the nature walk for our family, so nice to get out and about and enjoy some fresh fall air, before it gets too cold.

Thank you Jaclyn Davis Photography for perfectly capturing our sweet Kaden and his goofy personality! We LOVE these pics and will treasure them forever!

KADEN!!!

• Smart, he knows his colors, how to count to 10, some shapes, he knows every character on Toy Story, he can say anything he wants and can usually be understood.
• His favorite places to go are: Red Robin, Home Depot, Cabela's, Target, Smart Cow, and the mall to throw pennies in the water.
• He has an incredible memory for his age, he still talks about our vacation to Disney Land (in great detail), knows the names of all of his great grandmas and grandpas and can remember different times we have visited and never forgets when you tell him you are going to do something.
• So Loving. He has a huge heart, he's always asking, "you ok mama?" He knows when someone is sad or really happy. He never wants to disappoint Paul or I, he aims to please always. He almost never has a time out, he just never needs it, he always tries to be so good.
• His favorite songs are: twinkle twinkle, the family song, the tikki room, fireworks (katy perry), fireflies (owl city), and Cruise (Georgia Lines) He wants to listen to them every time we are in the car.

I never knew I could love someone like I love Kaden, he is so amazing, being a mom has been the absolute best thing in my whole life. The joy that it brings is just unimaginable unless experienced. And with Kaden he just makes it so easy to love and serve and be with 24/7. I never seem to get sick of him, he is my best little buddy for anything and everything I am doing. I feel so blessed to be his mom and get to have him with me all the time. We Love you Kaden Ryan!

Potty Training!

I decided I would try potty training before baby got here just to see how it went. And he has done great, it took about a week for him to get it down but then he just took off and has loved it. He tells strangers all the time, No more diapers! and also pee pee on the potty! He is so proud. It helps having awesome unders like Buzz and Woody!

He and Ella are the best of friends, it's true what they say, "there is something about a boy and his dog." They play together all day long, every now and then with Ella getting bigger she will plow into Kaden and knock him down but I definitely think Ella gets the short end of the stick on abuse from Kaden. Good thing she is tough and can handle it :)
