FIRST

Kadens FIRST first day of school was Tuesday Sept. 7th. I honestly CAN NOT believe that he is that old. Going shopping for school clothes and sending him to school seemed like something that was far in the future. It snuck up on me way too fast.

I took these pictures while we were in St George last weekend. Doesn't he look all grown up with not an ounce of baby left in him? He is obsessed with this backpack. We bought him a cars backpack for his birthday in May, and he liked it just fine. While I was shopping to find some jeans for him ( WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE the kid is too skinny for 5's and too tall for 4's) he came across this toy story backpack on wheels. Whoa Buddy, there was no going back. He carried it all around the store and begged grandma to buy it for him.... ok really he didn't even have to beg, grandma is such a softie :D. I was trying to convince him to put it back and said something like " Kaden remember your cars backpack at home? You like that one, is this one that much better?" and he said " YES MOM MUCH BETTER!"

Apparently that is true because he doesn't go anywhere without his backpack. He can't leave the house without it or even go downstairs without it. He loves to pull it behind him wherever he goes.

This was the real first day of school. Woah buddy was he excited. All morning he just kept saying "I am going to school today huh!" He walked straight in the door without even turning around to say bye. :'(

Chris also gave Kaden his first fathers blessing for the first day of school. As I thought of all the many blessings our kids will recieve from their dad I was so overwhelmed with gratitude to have a husband who is so faithful to his duties and is worthy to hold the preisthood in our home.

Hope your first day of school was great buddy... .but will you please stop getting so big? Thanks.

Love, Mom
