Cousins, Cousins, Cousins

I was just thinking tonight how lucky we are to have such great cousins for little Kayden.  Although he hasn't met a lot of them I still think he is the luckiest person in the whole world because they all love him already. David, my nephew, did inform that that he did need to meet Kayden soo. Anyway, I was realizing how bored Kayden would get if it wasn't for Brooke most days.  Not that the babysitters are boring, it is just that Kayden LOVES his cousins.  Brooke has decided that it is her job to take care of Kayden and she does a very good job of doing just that.  She makes sure she shares her toys and she makes sure he has his pacifier if he needs it and she talks to him in baby talk and he loves it.She gives him his bottle.  Although this is a bottle that belongs to her doll, but it is the thought that counts.
Giving Kayden his pacifier! Sometimes she plays tricks on Gayle and will act like she is going to give it to Gayle, but then takes off running. It is really funny!
Dana thought that Zac would show no interest in Kayden, but he always had to know where the baby was. It was so sweet. I am glad that Zac has gotten to meet Kayden and I hope that although they don't see each other often that they will still be little buddies!
Then there is Landon! Kayden and Landon are going to be good little friends because they are so close in age. Landon and Kayden kissed each other the other day, but you could tell it was completely by accident. Actually, they were both hungry and found each others faces to suck on! It was rather comical! Kayden loves Landon and we can't wait to see them interact more as they get a little older!!!

Well, now, here are just a couple pictures of Kayden trying SOOOOO hard to try to get stuff off his lap in the BUMBO chair. It is so funny. He closes his hands too early, but he did figure out yesterday how to pull Aunt KuKu's glasses off her face. I was very proud of him for finally grabbing something. It did take a couple of tries, but he did it!

I haven't been the best at taking pictures lately so I will try to be better!

Surprise

Before!!!  I know, I know I look homeless.  I wasn't wearing any makeup and I didn't do my hair before I got it cut!


After. Much better! No more damaged ends! A little shorter than I wanted it, but oh well. It will grow back!

Tagged AGAIN . . . Thank Jenny

Well, I think this one will be good for me to do.  But if you want to read a fun little post then I would read Jenny's.  She is good at stuff like this.

10 Years Ago:  I was at a very awkward stage.  My mother had just passed away and I was living with Keith and Dana and that was fun, but I remember one thing that I know happened.  I had just 'broken up' with this boy and I thought I would be a jerk to him so I was and I thought that I would also rebel and not do my math homework.  EVER!  Well, Keith got my report card and there was a big old fat D-.  Oops!  I went and talked to my teacher the next day and ended up with a B in the class.  I learned a lesson . . . never get Keith mad!!!!!

5 things on my to-do list today:  #1  Clean my room!  My least favorite job! #2 Get Ryan some razors so he can shave.  He has been patiently waiting for these for over 2 weeks now!!!!  Sorry love!  #3  Go to Ryan's cousin's wedding reception at the Wright House (I have only been there for singles parties . . . never for a wedding!)  #4 Clean the bathroom and #5 Clean Kaydens room!  Man, I better get busy!

5 snacks I enjoy:   I like a lot of things, but I love applesauce with Peanut Butter (Thanks Erin), fruit snacks, oranges (only from Grandpa Carlings tree though), Chex Mix, and Garden Harvest Crackers!!!!!

What I would do if I suddenly became a billionaire:  Buy a house, Go to Europe, Invest, Spend $ on Scrapbooking, and let Ryan buy season passes for every sport he enjoys (which is ALL of them!!!)

3 Bad Habits:  I would rather dink around on the computer than clean my house!  I have been so much better lately, my house is always clutter free now (for the most part)!  I talk on the phone all the time and I should be doing other things!  My attention span isn't very long!  I find reasons to talk myself out of doing things that I should be doing!  If this doesn't make sense just call me and ask me about it!  See . . . you would be letting me talk myself out of something if you called me!

5 Places I have lived:  Brigham City, UT,  Ogden, UT,  Rexburg, ID,  Tempe, AZ,  Mesa, AZ

5 jobs I have had:  Early Morning Cleaner at BYUI, Telemarketer, Bank Teller, Gift Shop Asst. Manager, and Toys R Us

5 Things people don't know about me:  I would love to own a scrapbook store, I would love to invent something that a mother couldn't live without (like a BUMBO chair . . .  I couldn't live without Kayden's), I really would like to finish my degree (finding one first would be a good thing), Geckos terrify me (ask Ryan he has a hay day with this one), and I wish I had sung more throughout High School.

And Now I get to tag you guys!!!!!

Growing TOOOO Fast

I am sure you all know who I am talking about in the title.  It seems like just yesterday this little guy was brought into our lives and he is already three months old.  He has been so much fun to have around.  So I hope you enjoy the pictures I am posting today.  
Kayden and I go walking with Brooke and Jenny on the mornings we don't work. It was rather chilly (at least for us Arizonians) on some of the mornings so Kayden would be all bundled up. He falls asleep on our walks and looks so warm and cozy the whole time.
Lately, Kayden's favorite 'toy' has been his burp cloth. He always grabs it and holds on to it like in this picture, but most of the time he stares at it and moves his hands just enough to get it in his mouth. He is getting really good at it.

Kayden always has a smile on his face. If he doesn't all you have to do is look at him and he thinks it is the best thing in the whole world. He is so cute all the time. Lately, he would rather talk than eat and so he will eat a little and the look at me for a minute or so and talk and then go back to eating. I like to take pictures like this so I can send them to Ryan at work so he doesn't feel like he is missing out on things. Ryan loves it too. I usually get a call from Ryan not long after a picture is sent wondering what Kayden is doing! Kayden LOVES LOVES LOVES his daddy!
Kayden loves his daddy so much that he told me to write this sign and take a picture of him holding it. I thought it was a good idea!
Some of you have probably heard me talk about a BUMBO chair. Well this is what it is. Kayden has been wanting to sit up all the time lately so I bought this from someone off craigslist. I love it and so does he. I got a little tray for it and he sits and plays with his toys in it and I just move the little chair with me wherever I am. I just got it today, but I was able to get so much more done because of this. It was wonderful! Great little invention!
Here is my shout out! I actually have a couple of them. This is little Landon. He is getting so big, but cuter by the minute!
Here is Brooke! She is so fun! She is always laughing and she loves being able to walk all over the place. He favorite game is for someone to say they are going to get her and take off after her so she can run off somewhere as fast as she can. So cute! This is my cute sister Annette! I just think she looks so cute pregnant. She is half way there!

Well, that is all for now. I hope you enjoy the pictures and I hope you all think my baby is as cute as I do! :)-
