He's 6!

I thought I'd post a few more pics of when we really celebrated this boy's birthday! He woke up bright and early because he was so excited to open his presents -- and then he was off to school!
I love his funny face here!



This boy sure loves his sister!! He is always wanting to know where she's at and is the first to go get her in the morning. I hope this sweet bond continues!

More Baptism Weekend

Along with Caden's baptism we celebrated Tanner's birthday while grandparents were here. Here he is opening a few gifts.


Couldn't help but throw this one in here!

Well Almost back....

So I went to upload pictures to all my posts, and for some reason my computer is not recognizing my camera through the usb cord, so..... after trying a few things last night, I guess it's time to call in help. Hopefully this blog will be up and running soon!

I'm Back!

Whew! It's been a bit of a roller coaster here and I am hoping for a smooth ride for a while now! With summer and the start of school, birthdays and a baptism, I think I am ready to blog now! It's not that I don't like to blog, I do! It's just that I dislike having to upload my pictures because it takes FOREVER to do. So while I have all the entries ready, I just need to upload pictures now. Here's hoping to catch up to life!

6 months old!!

We had to do a little photo shoot for this monumental 1/2 birthday! Kennedy is growing up fast and getting bigger and bigger. She just started cereal about two weeks ago and LOVES it! She is such a happy baby is so content and mellow! We are all so grateful for her sweet disposition. She is such a joy in our home and we're so glad she's ours!

Baptism weekend

Over Labor Day weekend Caden was baptized -- between having his birthday, starting school and getting ready for guests and a baptism all in one week it was busy!! It was so nice to have the baptism over Labor Day weekend so our family could spend more time together. Caden was really nervous about the actual baptism, but he did great! He looked so grown up in his white baptismal suit! It was a great service and it was so nice to have family here. We enjoyed a fun ice cream bar after dinner mixed with a little baseball (of course) in the backyard! The kids didn't want to come in and go to bed.

He's 8!!!

It's great to be 8! Here is the birthday boy! His birthday was on a Sunday, so we hung out at home and opened presents and enjoyed cupcakes. It was nice that he could play with his presents the remainder of the day. Happy 8th Birthday Caden!

Hello School!

After a long and fun summer, we welcomed back school with open arms this year! I think they were pretty ready to go back even though they didn't admit to it. It was a little chilly, thus the pants. I think they look pretty handsome!

Girl Time!

Adam is a brave man! In the middle of August he decided to take an all boy trip to Portland to visit family and hang out before school started. That left Kennedy and I at home for a dreamy 6 days!! I worked on lots of projects, played with Kennedy, cleaned, went shopping, and spent some girl time with girlfriends. It was almost as good as a tropical paradise vacation! It took me back to the days when I just had Caden. Kennedy and I had some great bonding time and we enjoyed sleeping in and taking naps. Here's a picture of us after a little shopping spree. We had a fun 6 days together! Thank you Adam and all the family who helped on the Ptld side!! I'm thinking this may need to become a ritual?!
