Kadens Invite

Hey everyone. This is Kadens birthday invite. You are all welcome to come. I just dont have enough to send them to everyone. So come and join the party!

Weekend in the Sun

This weekend we went down to Vegas for a family baptism. After they had a party at their house, which just happens to have a gorgeous pool in the backyard. Kaden got to play in a pool for the first time ever... and he LOVED it. Chris was also a favorite with the millions of 6-12 year old girls who couldn't get enough of him.I think he launched about 200 girls into the pool. . I think they both were worn out by the end of the day.

Getting all ready to go

Checking out the poolHey this isn't so bad.Taking a break to eatKaden loves to play with his daddy.Hey dad what is that?That's funnyThe Clayton kid clanKaden thought dad going down the slide was hilarious
All done! I think we are going to really enjoy grandmas pool this summer.

Tribute to Old Blue

Well folks, you know what they say... out with the old and in with the new!

We have purchased a new car... SUV to be exact. It was time to get something that was a tad bit more reliable and better to drive on snowy roads. But before we parted I wanted to give one last tribute to OLD BLUE.

Old blue has been in our family for almost 16 years now. It was passed from Grandma Letty to Aunt Leanna to me. Needless to say it has been through its fair share of adventures. Many memories have been made and many miles have been traveled in that car. (242 thousand to be exact) Its sad to see it leave the family after so many years but I know its new owner will love it like we did! :)

Oh yeah... here is the new.

BELLY PICS

Okay okay, i really am reluctant to do this. But there has been much peer pressure pushing for updated belly pics. And YES unfortunatly I do already have a belly (although I am not so sure it is from the new baby.... more the last one!) so every 3 or 4 weeks I will put up a new belly pic.... maybe.

5 WEEKS

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!
