All I want for Christmas is...

How many of us start thinking about Christmas in APRIL?!? Probably not many of us. Lately I have been thinking a lot about that special month though. As Kaden is getting bigger it is hard to decide exactly what to get him. At the age of 2 will he even care what is under the tree? Will anything we get him last for more than 2 months anyway? How do you find a present that is just right? Well after much deliberating we have decided to get him a new sibling. That's right.... as of December 25th (yes that is the actual due date) Kaden will have the gift of being a big brother. We are all so excited. - That's all for now.

BABYSITTER!!!

Hello to all friends and family! We are desperatly looking for a babysitter for Kaden this summer. We have found arrangements for him on MWF however we still need some help on TUESDAY and THURSDAY. It would be about 8 hours on those 2 days and we are willing to pay what we can for any help. If anyone can help or has any suggestions for us please let us know! (P.S. He is seriously so easy to watch. I am sure every mom thinks that but really he hardly ever fusses and he is so easily entertained.)

THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!

-Chris and Jill

The Latest Happenings

We went up to see my grandma for her birthday this week. These are some shots from that visit.

This is my Great Grandpa Johnson. So that would make it Kadens Great Great Grandpa. This is the first time they have met. Kaden was quite fascinated with grandpas mouth.

5 generations! (missing my dad)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of the greatest grandmas ever!!!!

No one leaves grandmas without this mark!

Isn't it crazy how entertained kids are with the dumbest stuff!?

How cute... Kaden loves his daddy

AH.... I guess you could call this the mark of KADEN! :)

Beautiful flowers from an amazing husband!

Easter weekend with the Clayton Family

This Easter weekend we went to St. George. Saturday we went to Snow Canyon for some fun in the sun and the sand. Strollers don't push very well in the sand so most of the walk Kaden spent on shoulders. We played a VERY LIVELY game of 500... needless to say the advantage went to the tall men. Kaden had his own retreat under a blanket cabana.Grandma and Kelsey were Kadens cabana girls.For the next hike to the caves we voted to stay in the car. Kaden thought it was a blast!This is Kadens friend Kaysen. They are 3 days apart.... can you tell by their sizes??After the outdoor activities we went to Applebees for Kilies birthday. Kaden found Grandpas hat very entertaining. Before we went to bed we colored Easter eggs. Kaden had his own egg.....Of course he just tried to eat it.The finished product!This picture is due to my WONDERFUL, TALENTED sister Heather. Who is able to create such wonderful backgrounds to place our pictures on! I still can't believe my little baby is learning to walk. This was all 6 girls getting ready in the bathroom Sunday morning. Claudia is missing because she is taking the picture... thank goodness for big bathrooms.
My cute little Easter bunny.



Kaden loved looking through his Easter basket. What a SPOILED baby. We are still working on the sugar detox from this weekend.
What a great weekend!!

Kadens NEW Tricks

Kaden is becoming quite the accomplished baby. Here is a video of his latest and greatest tricks. The first one on the video is of him being SUPER MAN! I swear to you he has like super muscles in his back. He has been able to do this for months. Also in the last week he has started to really move across the floor, he started taking steps and he now drinks from straws and sippy cups. I feel like he went from a baby to a little kid in a week. OH MAN! He is growing up way to fast.

Kadens latest photo shoot

Never give me a camera when Kaden is around.... I simply can't stop taking pictures of him. I want to capture every second because I know it won't last. Besides, who could resist??? He is just such a cute baby to take pictures of. Anyway... here are the latest pictures (The sad thing is I choose 10 out of like 60.... ridiculous I know!) I am also mad because a few of them came out blurry but they were so cute I still had to add them.

This was when I was TRYING to get his attention but he was intently focused on Curious George! My favorite part of this picture is the LARGE belly hanging out over his pants.

Who could resist this face? I mean COME ON!

I wish I wasn't so zoomed in on this so you could have seen the entire effect. What a poser.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... I call this the angry gorilla face. Every time I look at it I crack up laughing.... to the point of tears.

Lub my hubby!

Just for a Laugh
