Glenwood Springs Trip

Last weekend Paul, Kaden, and I drove up to meet our Davis' friends in Glenwood Springs. They were all there for a family reunion and we were really missing Dane, Jackie, Braden, and Lindsy so we drove up and spent the night so we could see them all. We had a blast! We got there Saturday afternoon and decided to look around the town a little bit.

When I was younger my grandma and grandpa Boom would meet my mom and I in Glenwood and I would ride back with them to stay with them for a couple weeks. We would always meet at this little Indian store and we always got to buy something there before we left so I really wanted to take Paul and Kaden there to check it out too.

Here we are in front of the store with the chief, he has been there since the store first opened. You can't tell but Kaden is thrilled to be here. And he loved looking at all the little trinkets inside the store. This place will always hold lots of memories for me and now Kaden can say he's been there too.

Kaden really enjoyed walking around town, we strapped him in his stroller and wandered once it got dark and he had a great time just people watching and seeing all the sights, he's such a laid back little guy.

The first night we were there we said hello to the whole Davis' clan and then Paul and I went and had dinner while they celebrated Grandpa Schott's birthday. We went to a really good little bbq place called "Rib City." After that we went back to our room and hung out with Dane, Braden, and Lindsy for a long time. It was so fun to get back together and be able to just sit and talk and laugh late into the night. What great friends!

Kaden and Braden had lots of fun together, what great buds they will be :)

We got a room with two queen beds so Kaden got a queen bed all to himself and boy did he love it, a guy can really stretch out in a bed that big. He slept so good through the whole night but looked so tiny.

Nathan and Rosemary Davis had a little boy due the exact same day (March 19th) Kaden came on his due date and Rosemary had little Milo exactly one week after Kaden was born. It was fun to put the two of them together and see how they compared in size. Kaden looked huge, he is a very big boy. Maybe one day they will be great friends, the little due date buddies.

The next day we walked around the town with Lindsy and Braden, had a good lunch and then went to the springs for the rest of the day. It was so fun. We found a nice shady place and set up camp so Kaden wouldn't get burned and then took turns swimming and going down the slide. Kaden loved people watching and looking at the water, he was such a good boy all day long. He was a little too small to swim this time but next time he will love swimming and sliding I'm sure.

What a great trip, even though it was short we had a great time, it was so nice to see our Davis' friends and spend some time with them and also fun for Paul, Kaden, and I to have a little weekend getaway. I love our little family outings!

The pool at our apartment. This was Kaden's first time looking at water in a pool, he loved it and was mesmorized for a long time.

Love this man!

Grilling outside with dad.

Paul has so much fun with Kaden when he comes home from work, it is what we look forward to all day long.

Kaden after a delicious meal!





We sure love this little boy! He is such a sweetheart!

First Hike

All ready to head out on his first hike. He rode in his Bob the whole time, what a trooper! Paul and Dad would carry the stroller over big rocks and took turns pushing up the hills.

Eating his lunch in the great outdoors!

The beautiful Palmer Lake Reservoir

Amazing swing that went out over the reservoir, Paul and I had fun playing on it while kaden waited with grandma.

Kaden's first hike was to the Palmer Lake Reservoires with grandma and grandpa. He did such a great job and loved being outside. He's such a good baby we enjoy taking him to do lots of fun things. We also took him to a BBQ with our ward that evening so Kaden had a great night's sleep after his day of outdoor fun!

Snuggling his bear.

It looked like he was pretending to fly in his dreams, which was appropriate while sleeping in his aviator themed crib.

Sporting his cool new sunglasses at the Colorado Springs Territory Days.

We're worried he may become a thumb sucker.

Enjoying a beautiful evening in Castle Rock






We have really been enjoying the warm weather that is finally starting in Colorado. Summer is going to be so fun with Kaden around, so many firsts for our little guy and so many new things to learn. We are still loving every second spent with Kaden and have never been happier.

2 Months Old!

I can't believe Kaden is already 2 months old! It seems like I was just verily in the hospital having him and now he's getting so big, the time sure does fly. We love having Kaden in our family, he makes everything so bright and brings such joy to our lives each day. I truly feel honored and blessed to be his mom. We love you Kaden!
2 month stats:
-13.8 pounds (which is in the 89th percentile, he is a big boy)
-22 inches long

He loves to smile and coo and just giggled for the first time acouple nights ago. He has also slept through the entire night a few times now. He falls asleep so easily for naps and bed time, we are very blessed, he is such a good baby. What a cute little guy we get to have in our family. I love to just kiss and snuggle him all day long!
