Having fun on Makayla's behalf!!

My niece got this four wheeler for her birthday. It

has a button that you push to make it go. So

I decided to have Makayla try it!! I put her finger

on the button.......you just have to watch!!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great halloween!! Kaycee was a 50's girl, Caden (as you can

tell) Spiderman!! and Makayla a flower! They were all so stinking cute!

I'm really surprised that Makayla kept the flower

on her head.

She sat in the wagon the whole time. Didn't make one sound!!

She just enjoyed being pulled in it by her dad!

My kids are so cute!!

We went trick or treating with Kaycee and Caden's cousins

Breigh and Garrett!

We carved our pumpkins the night before Halloween!

Nothing like waiting for the last minute!! It was a fun time.

I traced Kaycee's pumpkin for her and she cut it out by herself.

She was very proud!

I love this picture of Caden looking at Sloan.

It's the look of "are you ever going to let me do it!!!"

After this picture Sloan let Caden do it and Caden

took the carving knife and just started stabbing his

pumpkin!! And he broke the little window that Sloan

had already cut out!!

Caden's 3rd Birthday!!

I can't believe that Caden is 3!!! He's grown up so fast.

We had a birthday party for him and he loved it! Can you tell

by the smile on his face??

I had a hard time thinking of games for 3 year old to play.

My mom gave me the idea of tying ballons to their legs

and having them try to pop the other persons balloon.

As you can tell the only person that got the game was

Kaycee!! She popped everyones. The kids just kind of

stood there!! It was cute. Now I know that that game is

for older kids!

Sloan and I got Caden a bike. Of course it was none

other than SPIDERMAN!! He loved it but was not

quite sure how to use it! He practices every day and is getting

much better at moving forward instead of breaking!

He looks like a kid in this picture and not a little

toddler! Tear!

His cute smile!

Picking Pumpkins!

I've been slacking a little! We went and picked pumpkins out at

patch on 90th. My kids were so excited. They had to find the perfect

pumpkin. We went when it was getting dark so we were kind

of rushed on time! But we found the perfect ones.

I love Cadens smile in this one!

Makayla loved having the pumpkins in the wagon with her!

She'd try to pick them up or hug them!

We has a great time!

Playing in the Rain!!

Two weeks ago when it rained on Monday....Kaycee came out

of her room with her snow clothes on wanting to go play in the rain

and of course Caden wanted to join her, so Kaycee got her little

brother all dressed in his snow clothes. They went outside and

played in the rain. They had so much fun!! They would have stayed

out there all night if I would have let them! I wonder how its going to be

when it snows the first time!

2 year olds!! Gotta love them!

We went camping last weekend and I was getting ready to put  

Caden in the bath and he decides to run outside after Sloan.

Before I could catch him he was out the door "butt naked"

He grabs his scooter and flies down the driveway.

At that point I was like what's the use trying to 

chase after him, whats done is done!! So I went

and got my camera and shot these pictures!

He thought he was so funny! He laughed 

hysterically the whole time!!

Kaycee kept yelling,"naked boy, naked boy"!

Happy Birthday Makayla!

Yesterday was Makayla's 1st Birthday! I can't believe

she is already one! She has brought such joy into our 

lives. She always has a smile on her face! She loves

her older brother and sister!

Her smile can always bring a smile to my face

even if its been a crazy day!

We went to Chickfila for dinner! They have family

nights on wednesday. The kids had their faces

painted. Even Makayla did, the lady was very

precise about how old the kids are. She asked me 

how old she was and I told her "one' her birthday

is today. She wanted to know the time of day she

was born to make sure she was exactly one!

Luckily she was born in the morning on the 26th!!!

Kaycee loves to get her face painted!

Caden could only get his eyes painted because

he had face planted it earlier that day and got a 

bloody nose and scrapped it up. She wouldn't paint

on his nose, because I guess it could stain his skin

the color of the face paint!! Good thing we didn't!

Caden Nap time!!!

Caden wanted to sleep with his flat little basketball, 

so I left him in his room with it. Come into

his room to find this!!!

What a cute kid!!! The things kids do!!

Kaycee started Kindergarten today!! She was so 

excited! She started counting down the days

a week ago. Our first attempt at pictures it 

turned out fuzzy!

Then she was being funny by pulling a 

grumpy look!

The final one turned out so cute!! I can't

believe she started today. Before I know it she will be in

1st grade!! Kaycee we love you so much!!!

Sprinkler!!

We spent the afternoon outside the other day. 

Makayla loved sitting in the shade. Its been

so hot lately. 

I've been trying to get Caden to run through

the sprinklers since last summer. But he will

never do it. As you can tell he finally did it. Thanks to 

our neighbor. He's 8 years old and Caden loves him.

Since he ran through Caden was all for it!!!

More of Florida!

One of the many days at the beach. Kaycee has started posing for her pictures. 

She is so cute. 

Madison, Addison, and Makayla sitting in the sand for the first time. I think Makayla was the only one that didn't like it. 

They're all thinking about it.....DO I CRY OR NOT!!!!

And of course its my daughter that cries!!!

She wore herself out from crying that she wanted to sleep.

Florida Trip 2009

We went on our family trip to Florida!! It started off with waking the kids up at 4:00 am on monday morning. All three of them seemed to be more hyper at that time in the morning than when they wake up at 7:30. Everyone was so excited to finally be on our way. We had two plane trips before we made it to Florida. 

As you can tell we had a very tired boy. He was out in two seconds. 

He loved pulling his own back pack.

They were all smiles because they knew where we were going on the plane. 

This was Cadens first plane ride that he can remember. Kaycee loves going on a plane.

Kaycee and Breighlyn waiting patiently to get on the plane.

So my mom had a yard sale today. So we went over there just to hang out. Not thinking that I needed to put sunscreen on my little Makayla. At the time it didn't look like she was getting any sun but as you can see, she got a lot. Where it is white, she had a headband on. Poor little girl looks so bad. But I had to take pictures of her even though she looks so miserable. I love the sweet little thing. The weird thing is Kaycee and Caden didn't get sunburned.
