I recently came across these pictures of Kade and I had to talk about them. I didn't have my blog when Kade was a baby and now I feel the need to go back and post some important milestones in his life. Like any other mother looking back on her almost 3 year old's baby pictures, I have tears in my eyes. I realized just how much of a wonderful journey we have had with Kade and how much Joy he provides in our lives EVERYDAY. I love my boy more than words could ever describe. He is the best blessing God has ever given me. I look forward to seeing Kade become a Man, and one day a father. He is so amazing in every way and he is loved more than he will ever know, more than we will ever be able to express to him.

This was taken on Kade's first birthday!

I love you more than anything Kade, you have brought the most happiness to me in the whole world.

Snowman Makers

This winter has been weird, but then again Farmington, NM weather is weird. Or, maybe everywhere in the world weather is weird and I have only secluded myself mostly to here. Who knows. Well one day when we got snow, probably after a day it was really really sunny or something Jared took Kadders outside to make a snowman. It was super funny to watch because while Jared made the snowman Kade ran around the yard screaming and playing. I was on the porch barefoot trying to snap photos of the two, but it was difficult. I was too dang cold. All in all I don't think the snowman got a head because the snow wasn't sticking I guess or maybe Jared was just over it. LOL! Overall it was a great way to bond with his son and Kade loved every minute of it and looked super fantastic while doing so. I love my boys!

Christmas part III

Some captured moments at Jared's parents house. I wasn't feeling too good, I had the stomach bug. Eventually it went away for the big dinner we had at Leslee's that evening and I was very grateful for that. Nothing like feeling poopy on the most special day of the year. I sure did miss seeing my mom on Christmas, but overall it was a wonderful day. I love my family so much!For some reason Kade went crazy after everyone had opened their presents and he saw all the wrapping paper on the floor. It was the funniest moment, we had to capture our crazy boy! Tia Leslee loves her Taylor and Taylor loves her Tia

The Chavez boys, I'm partial to the one in black. Love my husband!!!

Sharing a funny moment

Sweet cousins

Not gonna lie, Jack looks scared as hell, I think he was over the first hug. So cute!!

Christmas 2010 Part II

The morning of Christmas we did our own thing instead of going straight over to Jared's parents house. Kade had so much fun and I think he is starting to get the concept of Santa and what Christmas is all about. We had a great time opening gifts as a family. Jared got me a kindle because I have recently taken up reading and now I can read wherever, I was so happy and Taylor got her first pair of diamond earrings that her daddy bought her all on his own. After opening presents at our house we went over to Jared's mom and dad's to do our gift exchange with his side of the family and then Mari and Anthony cooked up a wonderful breakfast. It was a fantastic day.

Jared wrapped all my Kindle accessories individually in a huge box. This was my smallest gift.
