Spring Fair!

The weekend before Easter the three of us went out and enjoyed a local spring fair. It was a lot of fun, but a bit disappointing since Kayden was too small to go on any of the rides. I would have loved to take him down that big slide, he would have loved it too! Oh, well, maybe next year. Even though he couldn't go on any rides, he just loved to people watch (Grandma Sally would be so proud!) and enjoyed looking at the animals. We were in one of the barns and they were lining up some sheep to be auctioned off and it baa'd right in front of Kayden and that jolted him a bit, but he didn't cry, so we moved on and looked at some cows and chickens. Kayden was able to play one of the games there, it was a fishing game, and he did really well. He even won a stuffed banana!

The little guy was so tired that he could hardly stay awake, but he managed to keep those little blue eyes open until we got in the car, then it was lights out.

Playing Outside

Well, the weather man was wrong about the weather today. He said it was going to be rainy all day, but we ended up having fabulous weather. So, I took Kayden outside to play on his new slide. He had so much fun, it was a bit cold outside, but when the weather is nice around here you take advantage of it, regardless of the temperature.

Here are some pictures of him playing outside.

Hood Canal

Kyle had last week off so we took advantage of it and went to Hood Canal. Kayden had such a great time playing on the beach and throwing rocks in the water. He just loved exploring everything, oysters, clams, rocks, sand, puddles and whatever else he could find on the beach. The cold weather didn't deter him from having a good time. By the time we were done at the beach he was covered from head to toe in sand, it even managed to find it's way into his diaper. He didn't like that so much, but really, who would. LOL. Needless to say, he had more baths in the four day period we were gone than he ever has. Ok, maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but he did have a lot of baths while we were gone. Here are some pictures of our fun trip. I can't wait for the sun to come out around here so we can go to some local beaches and have some more fun.

Visit from California

Last week we had family up from California and we all really had a great time. Kayden's Great Papa & Nana were here along with his Uncle, 2 Aunts, 1 cousin & his Great, Great Aunt.

Here are some pictures of their visit.

Having Fun Playing in the Dirt

Today we had a lot of fun playing outside. It was a nice day here, which is unusual this time of year. It is normally rainy, but today, we lucked out with nice weather and took advantage of it by doing some yard work and playing outside.

Kayden had a great time playing in the dirt, which is rather unusual for him. For those that don't know, he likes to be clean. He sits in his highchair and if crumbs from a cracker or a smear of yogurt gets on the tray or if his hands get dirty, he needs to clean it up before he will continue eating. So, it was a shock to see how much fun he was having playing in the dirt. Here are some pictures of our great day outside.

Just Having Fun

Well, things around here are beginning to get back to normal now that Kayden is feeling better. We only have two doses left of his medication and he'll be good as new. He got sick last week. I took him into the dr and found out the little guy had a bad ear infection. We started antibiotics and it only took a day or two for him to be feeling much, much better. So, now that we are almost done with the medicine things are starting to get back on track. He's happy as can be, running around and climbing on everything! Here are just some random pictures Kyle and I have taken over the last couple weeks. Enjoy.

Having Fun Outside in the Rain

Hey there, a weekend or two ago Kyle went outside to do some yard work and so we decided to let Kayden play out there too, even though it was raining. Kayden just loves being outside. I can't wait for spring and summer to get here so we can spend more time playing outside and less time inside.

Christmas

Hi there, we hope everyone had a nice Christmas. We sure did. We spent our Christmas Eve at Christy and Dean's house and then went to my parents house for Christmas Day. Kayden got really spoiled. Here are some pictures of our Christmas's.

Visit with Santa

Well, Kyle and I took Kayden to see Santa yesterday, and well, it didn't go so well. Kayden was excellent while we were in line, he was playing and eating cheerios having a good time, but once it was our turn to go sit on Santa's lap, things turned from good to bad fast. Kayden wanted nothing to do with Santa. I went to put him on Santa's lap and he just clung to me. Finally pried him off of me and he looked up at Santa and his bottom lip came out and he started screaming. He was terrified. Hopefully next year will be better!

Snow & Turkey Day

Well, as many of you know, we had a lot of snow last week so Kayden and I have been home bound, which is fine with us! Kayden had a blast playing all day, running errands isn't his favorite thing!

We had a great Turkey Day and hope all of you did as well. I don't think I ever remember a white Thanksgiving!

Here are some pictures of Kayden playing in the snow with Dad, Charlie and myself. He really seemed to like it out there.

Fall Leaves

It was a beautiful day today so Kayden and I went out and played in the leaves. Kayden loves being outside and I figured this might be the last nice day we have in a while, so why not get out there and have some fun. So, we did just that.
