Winter Fun!!!

Kaden loves playing out in the snow. He loves to help dad shovel the driveway as well. One day he had so much fun helping Jared he laid down on the sidewalk and fell asleep. I wish I had a picture of that cause I couldn't believe it. I think I am ready for spring though. I'm not much of a cold weather person. I do love the way everything looks right after a good snow storm though. If only the snow would be warm and stay off the roads. Wouldn't that be so much fun!

Kodie's Blessing

What an exciting day! We blessed Kodie on Sunday. Jared gave her a name and a blessing. He did such a good job. I am so proud of him. It was a beautiful blessing. As soon as Jared took Kodie up to the front, Kaden decided he needed to go to the bathroom. I was trying to tell him to wait until dad was done, but he said he couldn't as he started screaming. I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I didn't want to miss Kodie's blessing but I didn't want Kaden peeing his pants there at church. (That wouldn't be good). Thankfully my friend from the ward, who apparently was watching everything,stepped over to rescue me. She grabbed Kaden before he could put up a fight and took him to the bathroom for me. What a life saver. The rest of the day was wonderful. My family and Jared's family came over to our home for some dinner and good times. Thanks family for all your help in making this day so wonderful. It was nice to have you all here.

Christmas Time

Christmas trees and gifts

Yeah. It's finally Christmas time. I love this time of year. Kaden is so excited. Everyday he asks if Santa is coming today. We put up our tree and lights last weekend. Jared put some presents for the kids under the tree and Kaden has to check them out everyday, wondering what's inside. It is so much fun! I can't wait to watch him open his presents on Christams day! In the meantime there is lots of fun Christmas Parties and festivities to do. It's so easy to forget the real meaning of Christmas with all the sparkling lights and glitter. I'm so blessed. I have a wonderful (healthy) family, Good Friends and neighbors, and a warm roof over my head. What more could I ask for. Thanks to all of you for being so great. Have a fun Holiday Season!!!!

Kodie is 1 Month Old

Wow I can't believe Kodie is already 1 month old. She has changed so much. It's amazing how much they grow and change in such a short amount of time. I hardly remember what life was like before she came into our lives. I love having her.... She is so sweet (until 2 a.m.).

Kaden loves being Big Brother..... However, he still trying to adjust. I often feel guilty that I don't spend as much time with him as I used to. Right now I feel that all my time is on Kodie... Always feeding her. I'm sure it will balance out as she gets older. I'm grateful for Jared, he is so good with Kaden. Kaden can't wait for him to come home so that he can wrestle and play. If anyone has any advise on how to make this transition easier for me, I would be grateful.
