Pictures!

Just us :)

Out Pickin' strawberries.

We picked 7 lbs.

1 pound was probably eaten before we got home. We just opened the windows in the van and let the warm summer breeze blow through our hair, and tossed the tops of strawberries out on the country roads the entire way home... what a life!

Another pound was eaten that night and the rest we made into jam :)

And last, but not least...Addi got her first haircut!

She cried at first and wanted to run out the door, but after she was offered a lollipop, she jumped right in the seat, and was happy the entire time.

(She told me she didn't want to cut her hair until it touched the toilet when she went potty because that would be gross :) I love her little mind)

One Month Pictures

Here is Kaden on his one month birthday!

And these next two are of him after church today :)

He is starting to smile and talk. I love his sweet smile!

And I've been meaning to mention, that this sweet little girl learned how to pedal her bike! Way to go Addi! She rides it every chance she gets now :)

Introducing Kaden - He's Been Here for a While

The little Kadenator arrived exactly one month ago and we are beyond thrilled to have him here! Such a sweet little guy.
These are some recent pictures he was just about three weeks old in all of these.

Addi sure does love her brother! Sometimes she can show her love in less than 3 seconds flat, but other times she likes to hold Kado a bit longer to help out Mom. And what a good little helper she is.

Cousin Ben and Kaden. Amazing what 7 months can do.
This is just how we do some days. Whenever and however he sleeps as long as he's sleeping!
Mommy and Kaden. So happy!
Last but not least in all his swinging glory. We sure do love this new little one. What a blessing he is to our little family.
The End! More to come...eventually!

Kaden is Here!

The story...

Kaden was born 5 days late on April 18. He weighed 8 lbs 8 oz and was 21 inches long.

Have you ever seen movies where women suddenly go into labor in the middle of the night? And have you ever thought... "that never happens"? I sure have! Well, no longer do I think that...

At about 1:30 am I woke up suddenly to very painful contractions that were about 30 seconds to 1 minute apart (I must add here that they didn't feel like normal contractions so I didn't want to go into the hospital right away) so after laboring at home for about 45 minutes, we called the Dr. and headed to the hospital. When we got there, I was an 8 and 2 hours one epidural and 4 pushes later our little Kaden was here.

We made it!

Just letting everyone know....We made it to Pennsylvania! It has been crazy since we left Florida, but we are happily enjoying life in Pennsylvania.

Since leaving Florida...

we stayed in Utah for a month,

flew to Pennsylvania and stayed in a hotel for a week,

Moved into a rental house for one month,

then moved into another rental home for one more month.

But I am very happy and excited to announce, that this week we are moving into our permanant home, and staying for a while :)

It has been an adventure, but that's what life is about, and we are enjoying every minute!

Here are just a few pictures of our family in Pennsylvania.

In Florida, there are tons of fire ants, so when Addi discovered there are only nice ants in Pennsylvania, she was SUPER excited to walk outside with no shoes. So we walked all the way to the park up the hill with no shoes on.

Oh life's little pleasures!

Waiting for the horsies to come closer. She thought for sure if she gave them some grass the would come.

She waited a long time!

Maybe next time...

Here I am heavy with child...due any time now :) We took a trip to the D.C. temple, and it was beautiful!

More to come eventually :)

It's Official

We're having a BOY!

We are super excited, and can't wait until he gets here :)

Great Two Months

Life has been really fun the last two months, but with my family, when is it not :)

We have been on lots of adventures, thanks to Jacob getting some time off. Here is a rundown of the Langston adventures...

Jacob celebrated his 29th birthday!!!

We ate lots of food, and cake and enjoyed a great round of mini golf.

I was nervous the smoke alarm was going to go off with all that smoke :)

At 29 he is still so goofy and fun

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND!!!

The next adventure....Camping!

Camping was a fun adventure, but I think fishing was the bigger adventure for us. This is the first time we have been fishing as a family. We were really proud of our fishy :)

We celebrated Halloween.

Addi was a pretty princess. Cute as ever!

And what's Halloween without a carved pumpkin?

One of our big trips the last few months was the big ATLANTA.

We went to the aquarium again, because we loved it so much the first time.

Posing with the otters...say cheese!

Addison was excited from the very beginning

This is a picture of Addi trying to keep me warm while we were

heading to the church to listen to conference.

We also went to the Atlanta zoo again...we love this place :)

Addi had tons of fun petting and brushing the animals. Well, until one of the goats mistook her hair for hay and started yanking her down. Pretty frightening, especially when the goat is bigger than you. Funny to laugh about now :)

These pigs were hilarious. Everytime you started brushing them they would make these moaning pig sounds because they enjoyed it so much.

The fam with the gorillas (bachelors as Addi called them...hehehe)
Addi and her handsome prince as she likes to call him....enjoying a moment on the dragon :)

Jacob caught us a little bird on our seed stick. Addi was in awe as you can tell by her face.

The pink flamingos...Pink is always good with Addi :)

Well....we had a roarin' good time on our Langston adventures....
Can't wait to monkey around again...

Until an'otter' time...

Sssssssssssseeeeee Ya!
