KADE

*Kade is super bummed the weather is getting cold because he still wants to go swimming

*He started preschool in August and quickly has made friends.  His two best friends are Tanner and Griffin and every time I pick him up they all give hugs and wave goodbye

*Always makes me stop and look at the parrots in the class before we leave school

*Is recently obsessed with silly bands because his two new friends have them

*Secretly listens to all my conversations and inquires about what I was talking about each time I get off the phone.  Silly boy

*Is way too mature for his age

*Asks me every.single.day if he can get a dog

*Loves his cousin Jack so much

*Still is loving to wrestle his dad and me as well, I'm just not cut out for it though

*Is still my good vegetable eater and will try anything

*Loads up his backpack with random things and has to take it wherever we go

*Doesn't enjoy hugging on me very much, and it really makes me sad

*Gets either super bummed or super mad if his sister won't give him a kiss

*Gets extremely hyper when the vacum starts and always gets in trouble for it

*Always ask me if we can make brushing his teeth, fast

*Gets distracted easily

*Asks me to tell him to "Light up the room" and flashes his gorgeous smile.  I really don't know where he got it from

*Pretends he can read and makes up a story from the pictures (He's actually really good at it), so when I need some time, I always ask him to read his sister a book

*Quickly learned how to spell his name (The way he does the E is says "to the stop sign and around the corner)

*Made a sign recently that does not allow little girls or little boys in his room and used like 7 pieces of tape to hang it up

I love him more than anything and I am so grateful to have been given a little boy that is extremely compassionate, smart, caring, handsome, and healthy

TAYLOR

*Naughtiest little girl I know

*She literally destroys everything we give her.  Chap stick, crayons, walls, our couch, her food, coloring books, papers, everything

*Loves to dance and shake her little booty, it's the cutest thing ever

*Loves for me to rock her to sleep and sing her lullabies and 1/3 into the song, she shhh's me and finishes the song herself

*She is extremely silly

*Cries over everything when she doesn't get her way

*Insists on band aids at the slightest sign of a scratch

*When she wants something, she wants it right now (Just like her mommy)

*Calls me mom and Jared Daddy

*Calls Jared, Jared sometimes and he gets a kick out of it

*Can get to a game on my phone with ease

*Thinks when she has to poop it's pee too, so we never know what we're gonna get

*Does not like to watch TV

*Begs to sleep with Kade every night and crawls into bed with him so we can't find her

*Is extremely ticklish

*Knows her ABC's, but almost always forgets w,x,y, and z

*Counts 1,3,5,8,9,10,11 when no one is helping her

*The only good way to brush her teeth is to sing Ariel (Ahhahhh, ahhhahhh) or tell her we need to see the worms in her teeth.  Don't ask me where or why I started that, but it always worked with my Kadders



 Although she is super naughty, we wouldn't have her ANY.OTHER.WAY.  She's the best!!!

 I LOVE MY KIDS

Taylor's second birthday

(August 9th)
My little girl is now 2.  We decided to do her party on the actual day of her birthday this year. In my mind, it just feels more special.  Now that Taylor is 2 and can talk pretty well in my opinion she told us she wanted a princess party, which was great by me, because I didn't have to think of a theme or colors or none of that.  She also told us she wanted to swim when I gave her the options of what type of party she could have.  So we had a swim princess party with pizza, salad, fruit, and cupcakes.  I could tell she felt very special.  The whole day of her birthday I made sure to let her know she was the princess of the day.  I took her out to lunch even before the party that afternoon and told all the waiters it was her day so that everyone would tell my girl "Happy Birthday".  After a while and a week or so after her day she wished everyone happy birthday; it was so adorable.  She still to this day says "It's my Birthday" in her little tiny voice. 

Taylor got a ton of great toys, jammies, shoes, hair bows, and much more.  She loved everything.  Jared and I were undecided what to get her, but a few weeks prior to her party I had seen a pink princess four wheeler at Target and every time I would go back to the store I would make sure it was still there.  So, the night before her party we had to go to Target and we went with that gift.  We also got her some coloring books with stickers inside, she loves that.  It was so crazy to me that we celebrated Kade's birthday at Jared's parents house when he was 2 and I was pregnant with Taylor, so the whole time at her party I had to pinch myself and remember that we were now there to celebrate Taylor's 2nd birthday.  Insane how fast time goes by.  Makes me want to cherish every moment and when I get caught up on nonsense with anything in life I start thinking about all that I am grateful for and all that other junk disappears.  I hope my children will remember to do the same.  We are so grateful that she had everyone around her that loves her very much and that we all love as well. 

Our Sweet Girl!!! Hope being two brings you all the happiness!!
