Family Picture Time

Here are some of our family pictures.  I realized I had put them on facebook, but I hadn't put them on here for the people who don't have facebook.  Sorry!  My friend Erin took them and I think she did a fabulous job!  She is hoping someday to do it professionally.  Thanks Erin for doing them for us!  
I look preggo in this one.  I assure you that I am not.  It was just how my shirt was laying.
You will find that Ryan and I do a lot of watching!
One of my faves!  Kayden is just looking a little grouchy!
I love how he has slobber dripping from his chin.  This is a classic Kayden picture because he is always slobbering.  I wish those darn teeth would just come in already!
He thought he was running from us!
Eating rocks... LOL
If we didn't touch him he did just fine.  He is so independent!
One of my faves of the little guy!
Love these pictures.  It is nice not having to pose!
Love this one as well.!
His famous smile!
Look at those killer eyes!
My favorite family picture!
A nice view of our booties, but such a cute picture!
My VERY, VERY favorite picture!  We are all smiling.  This is not Ryan's favorite, but it is by far mine.


Hope you enjoy!

The Amazing Celine Dion

The best picture of Celine I got with my phone!
This shows the whole stage!
So for my birthday back in April, Ryan bought me tickets to the Celine Dion concert.  I thought that it would never come, but it was this past weekend and it was a blast.  So LeeAnn stayed with Kayden and Ryan took me out to dinner and then we went to the concert.  So Ryan had bought me the cheapest tickets because they were so expensive.  We were on the last road in the whole stadium, but I didn't care because I was at the concert.  So we get up to the door and the guy scans our tickets and he said that they were no good.  We were like ... "WHAT???"  Then the guy said, "It is saying that you need to go see Customer Service because you have been upgraded to the lower bowl."  I didn't believe him.  So we went to customer service and sure enough...we had been upgraded to the lower bowl.  We were like 20 rows away from the stage.  It was amazing.  Even better is that Celine has so much energy and puts on the best show.  I would recommend it to anyone.  The only thing I regret is that it said no cameras so I didn't take mine and EVERYONE had a camera.  So I took some pictures and videos with my phone so they are just going to have to do!  


Also, Mohammad Ali was there.  They had him stand up.  He wasn't doing to well health wise, but he had a huge smile on his face and looked so happy to be there!  Thanks Ryan for a great night!  You are the best!

Here is a little video. Sorry it isn't better. I wish I had taken my camera!

I love this age the best...so far!

I think I have said that about ONE MILLION times, but it is true.  Although we have to discipline now and that isn't so fun, but it still somehow ends up being a highlight of the day because of what Kayden does in time out.  I have so many things that I would like to say about Kayden, but remembering everything is going to be the trick!  So here it goes!



FIRST:  Kayden is talking like crazy.  He says all sorts of words from Kuku (his favorite) to tickle.  He loves to talk and acts like he knows what he is saying.  He says school, Jesus, tickle, Dada, Gaga (his blankey and GRANDMA), Taytay, Mallory, Kylie, Elyse, Deena, Papa, Ty, Brookie, and Landon.  Those are the ones he says daily.  If you ask him to say something he sure tries.  If you ask him where daddy is he says school.  If you ask him where Jesus is he finds a picture.  I love it.

SECOND:  Last Sunday Ryan and I were sitting on our bed just watching Kayden play after his morning bottle.  Kayden started doing this little bobble head move and since then when we tell him to dance he does this.  He seriously looks like a little bobble head.  It is rather comical.  THEN to add to it he started doing another move yesterday.  He bounces up and down, but he just bends his knees.  It is so funny to watch him.

THIRD:  Today LeeAnn, aka Kuku, was watching him and she obviously wasn't doing that great of a job (kind of like drowning a child...she's good at that...no not really...family joke).  ANYWHO!  She decided that he was hungry so she went and got some baby food out of the cupboard.  Well, Kayden was eating it out of desperation of starvation!  She realized this and decided to get him some chicken nuggets.  So she set the bottle of baby food down and was getting the chicken nuggets ready.  When she turned around he had grabbed the bottle and was drinking the baby food.  He must have been really hungry.  

FOURTH:  Like I said above Kayden has been having to be disciplined.  It isn't fun, but it can be really funny.  It is really hard for Ryan and I to keep a straight face sometimes.  Tonight Kayden bite Ryan so Ryan put him in time out.  Kayden was being really quiet so I stuck my head in his room to see what he was doing thinking he may have fallen asleep.  (It hadn't been very long though!)  He was holding on to the side of his crib doing his new little dance move.  Then to top it off he would stop dancing and start clapping for himself.  It was so funny.  He finally heard Ryan and I laughing at him.  When we got him out he tried to bite Ryan again and Ryan got a little mad at him, but I just started laughing because Ryan has a hard time getting mad at him.

So here are the overload of pictures that I usually do.  I'm sorry I just post pictures in one post for the sake of time.  I don't have much of it!

Our cute little Tree...I put it in the corner and so far Kayden has been really good at not touching it very much.  He knows he can only have one ornament at a time off the tree.
I liked how my shelves turned out.  Especially the bottom shelf.  We still need to buy a stocking for Kayden.
For Thanksgiving Ryan's Uncle Gary had a bounce house and Kayden loved it.
You definitely don't get the effect of this picture.  These are Ryan's old shorts that were getting too small for him when he decided to loose weight.  Now they can't even stay up.
Kayden stood by the freezer and would touch the ice and say, "OOOOOO" for cold.
Great Grandma Workman came from Canada for a week and this was the best picture we could get of all of them.  1 Year OLDS!!!!  They just don't hold still for pictures!
Mike got in a motorcycle accident in Sept. and his leg hasn't healed as fast as he would like.  But it is coming along.  This is Mike, Brooke, and Alexis.  Alexis is Mikes niece.
Grandma Workman loved Santa she got her picture with him and she would say he was her boyfriend.
Kayden loved Santa...Can you tell!
Landon was confused about the beard, but I thought this was a classic Landon picture.  He is a very inquisitive little guy.  Tonight I got Landon to jump and he fell right on him bum.  It was pretty funny.  He would copy everything I did.

I hope the holiday season finds you all well.  Remember the reason for the season and have a Happy and Safe Holidays.
