2 months old and a Sunday afternoon

Here is Kaden at 2 months and 1 week

(our camera broke so we didn't get a picture on his real 2 month birthday)

I love how he is starting to get chubby cheeks :)

He now weighs 11 lbs 1oz and is 23 in. long.

We love our little Kado Potato.

He is such a happy little guy :)

What's a Sunday afternoon without twirling in your poofy dress.

Just look at that form :)

Sweet Sweet Girl

Sunday afternoon walk.

Addi noticed this trail at the end of our street, and has been wanting to walk down it for a while now. It was beautiful and Addi kept us entertained with all her silly stories. We love that little girl!

Sweet dreams...

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 :)
