PHOTO EXTRAVAGANZA

It has really been a long time since I have posted any pictures, and for that I apologize.  To make it up to you, here are a lot of pictures of our little man around the town.

Aubrey's Sisters Wedding: Unfortunately, Kaden was pretty worn out by the time we got the camera going.

Kaden bounced around so much he completely wore himself out. Poor guy.

Kaden at the zoo.  He enjoyed some of the animals, like the Camels and the Giraffes, but other than that he was just along for the ride.

Kaden was more fascinated by the plants and the water than he was by any of the animals.

After a long day, our boy was pretty worn out.  He did not see the cheetah or the big horn sheep, although I don't think he was bothered by it.

Pictures

Sorry Mom, this post is for you.  We need to get better at getting some pictures of Kaden up.  I am still working on some video.  School is done on Wednesday, so I will try to work on it then.  For now, these are some pictures of Kaden playing with his bouncy chair, and the first time he ate Vegetables.  The last is of Toby.  That is his favorite spot to lay in while I am working on homework.

Yet again, here is Kaden just sleeping with his mom while she gets ready for the day.

Kaden also braved the cold weather, and went to go see his favorite team (at least I think so) RSL play DC United.  RSL won 2-1, and Kaden had a good time.

Kaden got to meet the mascot, Leo the Lion before the game.

Hey there everybody.  Not much going on around here.  Just playing with Kaden and Toby, who pretty much take up all my time now.  Well, here are just a couple of pictures of Kaden.  He loves his blue elephant that plays lullabies.  And he has weird faces when he sleeps sometimes.

It's Been A While

Well, we finally had an eventful week.  It was the first Real game of the season.  Even though it was a preseason game, being inside the stadium was awesome, and I am ready for our regular season to start.  This was the first RSL game that Kaden was able to go to, and he was happy to get into his RSL jersey.  We had a great time at the game, where RSL won the game 3-1.  We went with a lot of friends, and Scott and I were able to participate in the half time festivities.  There was a contest to see who could catch the most balls with a bucket on their head, and I was the only one to catch one.  I won an autographed RSL soccer ball.  It was awesome.

Here are a couple of pictures of Kaden.  He loves to smile.  The only time he really cries is when he is hungry.  He also is learning how to balance his bottle by himself.

8 Things

Well, I have been getting a lot of crap about not posting my 8 things, but if you read my moms blog, then you can see that I am a little busy.  Well, I have Kaden asleep in his bed, and Toby asleep on my lap, so, here we go.  Oh, and before we start, here are some pictures of our favorite guys.

New Member of the Family

Well, I guess first off, we must welcome a new member into our family.  His name is Toby, and he is an 8 week old Cocker Spaniel.  He is definitely a handful, but we love him, and we are excited for him to be a member of our family.  Kaden loves him, and loves to grab for his face.  Toby is pretty cool with it though.

And how can we have a post and not write about the king of the house.  Kaden turned three months old today.  He is getting so big.  We just love him to death, and love all of the new things he is doing.  He rolled over the other day, although we think it was on accident.  Still pretty awesome.  He is also making a lot of noises, trying to talk to mom and dad.  He is standing up with help, and just being a big boy.  

Dad cannot wait for the first game of the season, and we can all wear our Real jerseys.

After watching some football, Kaden doing his Heisman pose.

Kaden now loves his snowman suit. Thats what we call it.  He used to hate it.

It's Kaden Time

Here are some random pictures that we have of Kaden.  We cannot believe how big he is getting.

Kaden loves sitting in his "bumbler"

Kaden doesn't really suck on a finger.  He tries to eat his hands all the time.

Kaden's Blessing

Sorry this took so long to get up here.

On Sunday, December 28th, Kaden was blessed.  It was a great experience for everybody, and Kaden was very reverent during his blessing.  We think that he will be a good kid for us.

 Kaden was blessed on the same day as his cousin.  He was pretty wiped out after all the pictures

Christmas Time

We had a wonderful Christmas time this year.  My whole family was able to come out, and with all of us all over the States, that is a hard thing to accomplish.  My parents were able to see their grandchild for the very first time, and we all had a very fun time with him.  This was Kaden's first Christmas, and we all had fun spoiling him.
