Christmas for Kayden

I think I could forgo all gifts for the rest of my life if I could watch Kayden open gifts and get excited as he did on Christmas.  It made me extremely happy.

He's such a wonderful addition to our family and we are so grateful for his sweet little self.

Random Pictures

 

just a few photos I found on my phone ...... so cute!

Family Photos

We did a combined photo shoot for family pictures and Kayden's one year pictures.  It was so much fun!  We had my cousin Malissa Mabey do our pictures and had fun taking them around a friends "farm" up in Manuta.  It was looking like fall and was so beautiful.  She did a wonderful job!

*This is a photo that captures Kayden's personality to exactness

*He loves pretending to drive . . . such a boy!

Halloween

This year was kind of a bust, but we still had Kayden dressed up. . . it was pretty dang cute, especially since he toddles about.

He's growing up too fast!  I can't believe I have a child who is walking and talking (sort of, in his own language atleast).  We sure do love him!

Kayden's Birthday Bash (belated entry)

So, like I said below, Kayden turned 1 year old last month.  The theme was "Puppies" since we have two now.  I guess I'll let the pictures do most of the narrating . . .

Cake made by Yours Truly

Once I gave him permission (aka forcing his hand into the cake), he loved the sugary sweetness.

We made the wall underneath our island a chalkboard to hopefully deter any writing on "non-chalkboard" walls . . . we'll see how that goes in the coming months.

He got some awesome presents from family/friends.

Thanks to everyone who joined the celebration.  I know he's only one but it was a fun party none-the-less!

One Whole Year

It's amazing what one year can do.  In my son's case it took a baby and made a little boy.  We celebrated his birthday and he loved every minute of it . . . pics to come soon.  Until then, here are a few to reminisce how small he really was.

It's About Time

It's about time we posted and it's about time my computer is finally fixed.  I was able to salvage all of my photos & info by sticking the computer in the freezer for a few minutes before turning it on.  I feel very lucky.

We've had a few additions/changes to our family.  One being a lab puppy.  That was Brett's birthday gift in August and he now feels our family is complete.  This is Preacher, so named from the character on this amazing movie.  If you haven't watched it in a while, I suggest you taking the time and soaking in the depth of the movie.

We have also had many opportunities to go out on some great hikes.  Kayden has found that he enjoys the water, even if it's too cold for most adults to even touch.  Brett got fed up with keeping his diaper on and him constantly climbing into the water, so he ditched the saggy diaper and let him roam free.  I think it's pretty cute :)

He actually kept his life jacket on and got in a couple naps too.

Kayden's first deep water solo climb :)

This picture affirmed to me that my baby is quickly growing into a little boy.  I can't believe how fast time flies!
