I LOVE FRIDAYS!!

I can't begin to describe how much I love Fridays! Friday is great for many reasons. One reason is that it means I have a 2 day break from work. Another reason, it means I have successfully made it through one more week of what generally proves to be madness. My most FAVORITE reason, however, is that it is the one night Chris can take a break from homework and we can just spend time as a family. (I think Kaden prefers this night too :) Chris is working so hard in school that most of the time I am in bed hours before he finishes. But Friday nights he is so good to put it all aside and just spend time with us. (It helps that he doesnt have class the next morning or any homework due)
Tonight we experimented with a new food item for Kaden, Bannana Cookies. Needless to say he LOVED them but they made a disasterous mess everywhere. We had cookies all over the floor, his face, his hands, and his clothes it was great. This video is of the end results ( this was after many wipes with the washcloth). I also included some video of Chris playing with Kaden. I love watching them together. It cracks me up that every time Kaden laughs he pulls his hands up to his mouth!

Congratulations Chris!!

Not only does Chris get to work in his desired feild :) BUT he also doesnt have to move to some crazy state this summer for an intership. We live within 20 minutes of his new job. He has worked so hard for this and I am so proud of him. We are so thankful for Heavenly Fathers hand in our lives!

ACCOMPLISHMENT!!


Isn't it funny how little things are such a HUGE accomplishment!?! It never ceases to amaze me how proud I can be of the simplest action. It makes me wonder if Heavenly Father smiles down with satisfaction and pride when we say our first prayer, finish our first long division math problem or successfully change our first flat tire. I think at the top of my proudest moments in life is when Kaden looked at me and actually smiled, when Kaden became a bi-roller, and as of late Kaden falling asleep without being wrapped as a mummy. That's right folks Kaden can now sleep with out the bindings of a blanket. A few nights back Chris walked in his room and Kaden was unwrapped and snuggled up to his bear fast asleep. It was the cutest thing ever. It melted my heart in an instant. I've decided that my heart is forever in the hands of this tiny little baby who now not only rolls two ways but also sleeps free of wraps. :)






And a few other fun pictures.....



A few nights ago I was finishing up some laundry. I unloaded the dryer and placed all the clothes on the living room floor. Kaden was sitting across the room playing with toys. I left the room to grab a few things, and when I came back Kaden was missing. I had a slight moment of panic as I searched to find him. Moments later I heard some laughs and coos from the pile of laundry. Kaden had rolled his way right into the middle of it all. And was having a ball. :) Funny baby.



I just love this picture. Chris is the best daddy ever and Kaden adores him. I am so glad I decided to marry such a good man and my best friend. It has been the best decision I have ever made in my life time.

Well Kaden has started to take baths in the big tub because he just doesn't fit in the little tub anymore. HE LOVES IT! He could sit in there for hours and be happy. He especially loves rubber duckys. The first time he took a bath at home Chris decided he would squirt him to see he reaction. After watching the video below I think you'll agree he found it hilarious! Anyway, that's the new fun update. We love you all.

Christmas



Hello to all. As we look back at this last year it is amazing at all that has happened! How very blessed we have been. When I look at my 7 month old monster that last year at this time was moving just as much but inside me, I am overwhelmed with gratitude towards my Heavenly Father for what an amazing life he has blessed me with. This year has been full of laughs and tears and we have traveled down the bumpy road that is life.

Kaden was 7 months on the 30 and he really is my little angel. His new trick is sitting all by himself. He also gets around quite well now with his rolling skills. He constantly is making us laugh. He loves Bob the Builder and as soon as he hears the opening song he gets a big smile on his face. He also is like Pavlo's Dog and salivates at the sound of a bottle being shook. He looks around the room and isn't content until he has laid eyes on the bottle. He looks just like Chris and I couldn't be happier to have a little Chris.

Chris continues to be my rock and my best friend. He is the best daddy around and I feel bad for any mom who doesn't have a helper like Chris. He still continues to get up with the baby so I can sleep and when I come home from work he has the house cleaned even though I know he has hours of homework to do. What a sweetie!

Here are some pictures from the Holidays!


This was Christmas day. Kaden had the flu, this was just moments before he puked everywhere.





Opening Kadens first present, he liked the shiney wrapping most!



Kaden, Grandma Webre and Great Grandma Sharp



Who wouldnt be smiling with two grandmas around?



After Christmas Shopping, Kaden was feeling the Christmas Spirit.





Grandma Clayton bought this stylish new outfit for Kaden!


I love these two boys! They are my world!


Claudia came to give Kaden a hug and he returned the favor by spewing not only down the front of her but also in her hair and mouth. And she still loves him.

Getting ready to go play in the snow!






Kaden loved the snow. But it did get a bit cold for him even in all of his layers!


Hope you all have a great 2008!
