Birthday fun!

SPLASH SPLASH!

I love it when we get invited to birthday parties because they are always so much fun and a great chance for Kade to have some play time. Our friends had a celebration for their two year old son and it was a lot of fun. They had it at a splash pad close to downtown and Kade was a little shy with the water at first, but then after that it was no big deal. Kade is the type that has to warm up to the idea of anything or anyone and then he is good to go. I loved getting these images of him. Jared unfortunately had to miss coming with us because he is scouting with his dad for Elk, but my motherinlaw came along and helped me like she ALWAYS does with my kids. Thanks Mari, your so wonderful. She handled Taylor while I made it all about Kadders. Thanks Jessie for inviting us, you know how to throw a party.....

Good Times........

KADE!!

Kade is such an amazing little boy, and many would think of course I think this because he is my son. Well it's not just that. He really is such a very sweet soul and I don't know what I did to deserve such an amazing little boy. He gives me more life than I ever thought I could have. I literally thank God everyday for him and never take him for granted. He is so funny, incredibly smart, very loving, and did I mention smart and loving? Anyone that knows Kade knows this about him. I just love him and that word "Love" does not even describe how I feel about him. He's my best friend. I can talk to him just as he was an adult and he understands so much. I can't wait to see how much more our relationship grows as he goes through each stage of his life. I hope one day he finds a beautiful, loving and kind soul as a partner and also a girl that loves to have his mommy around, because I can't ever imagine not being extremely close to Kade. He is my life!!!!

Kade is always hungry before bed and he didn't make it very far on his quesadilla last night before my little guy crashed! He makes me chuckle.

What's new!

Well there hasn't been anything to much to update on other than the many appointments we have had recently and Jared has been in hunting mode these days assisting his friend and dad in the scouting processes. So Kade did something pretty naughty the other night, but I can't be too mad because it was pretty much my fault. We were visiting with the missionaries the other night and I had just painted my nails a dark brown and Kade came and grabbed the polish out of my hand and I didn't even think twice about it and actually kinda remember thinking he wouldn't be able to open the bottle because it's even hard for me to open the darn thing, but he got it open and all over his carpet, his nice pottery barn chair my mom had gotten him and ruined a home made blanket from a family friend. Jared was not happy, nor was I, but I couldn't tell Jared what my thought process was when he took the polish from me. Jared put about an hour of elbow grease into the carpet and got most of it out. The trick he looked up online was Windex believe it or not. It took the polish out, but what Jared forgot to read was that it left your carpet blue. So the next day we used our other trick of spraying Resolve on it and topping it off with baking soda to vacum it up after it dried. It looks a lot better, but not what it once was. Kade got lucky though because he got to sleep with us (the fumes were horrible in his room) and he's lucky we had company when this little incident happened because it saved his little hiney. I wouldn't have let him get in trouble though because it was all my fault. ;). I even had a lady from Carpet One come over to give me an estimate of $650, I thought heck no I will just leave it, he will probably do it again. Other than that we have been just trying to get Taylor on a good schedule and some days are wonderful and some are hard, it goes back and forth. I have to remember she is still only 6 weeks old so it may take a little longer. Kade is adjusting well to school and I'm loving being off work. Till next time!

Labor Day fun!!!

Over Labor day Jared and I took the kids to Albuquerque for some fun and shopping. I was a little nervous now having two kids, but we were sidekicks and worked great as a team. I loved everything about that weekend with my little family of 4. It was great! We did an arcade, the Zoo and the Aquarium (Kade kept calling it the other Zoo). Taylor was easy and Kade loved the Zoo with a capital L. He was so sweet and watching him admire the animals and talk about them after we left for days was funny.

That weekend was also a little celebration of our 5 year anniversary. As a gift I got a new wedding ring, and it is perfect. We had fun looking for it and I loved that Jared was into helping pick it. He was very sweet and with his help I got a great ring. So happy anniversary baby, I love you so much and I look foward to the rest of my life with you and beyond. I don't know what I would do without Jared. He is so fun and so handsome, he is absolutely without a doubt the love of my life.

Precious Girl!

I got newborn pictures of my little precious girl taken about 3 or 4 weeks ago and have taken forever to get them on my blog, but I am so excited to have them. I love them. I wish we could have gotten more, but Taylor was awake and kinda in a mood so it was a little or a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be, but the ones we did get were great. Thanks Jessica!

I love having a daughter! She's the best thing!!! Love you so much always and forever!
