Kayden's Date with Aunt Kuku

LeeAnn (a.k.a. Aunt Kuku) took Kayden the Mother Nature's Farm to the pumpkin patch.  Kayden had a blast.  Afterwards, she took him to Applebees.  He had a blast and when he got home he slept for 4 hours.  He was so tuckered out!  Thank you Aunt Kuku, you are the best!
Kayden walks all over, but I think this is so cute for 2 reasons!  He is pointing and he has his arms up in the air!
Always thinking...
So serious...
I love this picture because I can tell that he is loving what he is doing!
Kayden, the horse!  This one is for you Mark!

Happy Halloween

I didn't get too many pictures of Kayden in his costume, but the ones I did get were really cute!  He was the cutest little giraffe I have ever seen in my life.  I will try to get a copy of him crawling away from someone else, but I may just put him back in his costume so you all can get the whole effect of his costume!
This giraffe doesn't like to be held!  That is for sure!
That binkie makes his eyes look more blue then they really are!
He loves being outside!

60 and counting ...

I am so proud of my hubby! He weighs in on Friday mornings and as of this morning he is down 60 lbs. He has been waiting for this day since he started. He thought 50 was big, but you should have seen his reaction this morning.

GREAT JOB RYAN! I LOVE YOU!

Keep up the good work..
(If you don't know Ryan's story... look at two posts down! He is amazing!)

Kayden's First Camp out . . . My last . . . J/K

I don't know how many of you know how much I dislike camping . . . but this trip actually wasn't bad. We went up to Camp Lo Mia (where all the girls camps are for our church) and it was a lot of fun. I left work early on Friday and we were able to head up there and were there by 4:30. It was a lot cooler up there, but it felt nice. They leaves were changing colors and it felt like fall. It was beautiful. We went there for the annual ward camp out. Ryan and I are on the activities committee so we helped with some of the planning.  I felt like we were packing for a week long vacation, because I didn't know how cold it was going to be there so I didn't want Kayden or I to get cold.  Needless to say, I packed way to much.  I think that it was better safe than sorry.  Kayden was the only baby in our cabin that slept through the night.  We didn't get much sleep, but it wasn't because of the other kids... I hate that plastic on the beds.  Every time any one moved it was so loud.  We got home early afternoon on Saturday and Ryan has been working on homework since. 
I took a couple of new pacifiers with me and I handed Kayden them to play with before I took them out of the package and he thought that he could suck on them.  It was so funny.  He couldn't figure out why he couldn't get them in his mouth!
He slept most of the way up there.  I was glad because I knew he wouldn't be taking his evening nap.  He was the first baby to bed that night and the last one to wake up!
I forgot to turn this picture the right way, but this is Kayden's friend, Max Gannon.  He is so cute!  His mom is the head of the activities committee and so we were in the same cabin.  We just found out that Rachel (the mother of Max) and I are cousins.  What a small world!
Kayden loved this glow stick that he found.  
I guess I need to teach Kayden how to defend himself.  He just laid there while Max tried to wrestle him.
I tried this whole trip to get a good picture of Kayden and Ryan finally got this one... with his camera.
Kayden loved getting dirty.  I had to keep telling myself that it was okay.
He ate leaves as well.  Crazy kid.  
Aren't his gloves so cute?  
So sleepy!
Gotta love that laugh!

He loved being part of Explorer Unit 449 or 445 or 567 or whatever number Ryan decides to make up!
Kayden is walking but I think he was kind of intimidated because all the other kids walked so well that he couldn't keep up.  He tried though.
It was a fun little trip!  So glad I decided to go!

Ryan is AMAZING!!!

I don't think I have mentioned on here that Ryan has been on Weight Watchers since the end of March/beginning of April.  Let me just tell you how proud I am of him.  He has gone down 4 pant sizes and has lost . . . (drum roll please) . . . 55 pounds.  Let me say that again . . . FIFTY FIVE POUNDS!!!!  He doesn't let anything get in his way of loosing weight.  He now turns down his favorite past time food.  Sometimes I try to get him to eat something and he won't have anything to do with it!  He is amazing.

Also, Ryan has finally found a job!  A guy in our ward needed some extra help and has snatched up Ryan.  It has been a blessing and a relief!

Here is a before and now picture of Ryan!  You will be amazed!  I will keep you updated with the pictures because he still isn't done!

BEFORE . . .
NOW . . . 

UPDATES TO COME!!!!

A true Prescott loves Pickles . . . Kayden must be a Prescott

So true, so true!  Kayden loves pickles.  I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but he loved it.  A true Prescott loves pickles though.  We grew up on them and so I guess this just proves that Kayden isn't all Workman! LOL!  So Doris . . . this picture is for you!

Better Late Than Never

Landon turned a year old a month ago and I have been meaning to post pictures on here, but haven't gotten around to it. So I am finally getting around to it, but better late than never. Landon was acting shy his whole birthday and every time I went to talk to him he would put his head down. He is such a handsome little guy and was so happy. His birthday was a Lightning McQueen birthday party. He for sure does like CARS! Anyway, he doesn't like to get dirty so it was hard for him to dig into the cake, but he did with the encouragement of his father. Deena and I were taking pictures.  The party was at Peter Piper and it was a big hit!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON!
Kayden going back and forth between two toys . . . He was taking steps in between them!
This is Ryan's cousin, Kylee with Kayden.  Kayden LOVES Kylee.
Me and my little man!  Isn't he adorable?
Cute little Brooke!!!!!
Kayden climbed up to stairs, but didn't want to climb through the tubes to the slide.  He just wanted to say hello to everyone down below.  He loves attention!
He didn't make it too far in the tube.  It was so busy in there with so many kids.
Landon digs in to the cake.
He didn't know what to think of being dirty! lol
He still the the cutest little guy!
Riding the little ride at Peter Piper!
All the little kids had these hats on and Kayden didn't even notice his on!

 

In all our craziness . . . we are still alive!!!!

With all the things that have been going on in our life I haven't really had a chance to think. At least that is how I feel. So much has changed and it has been a huge adjustment, and we are still adjusting.  Ryan, is a full time dad and student now at MCC working towards getting into the nursing program.  I am a full time mother and employee of Wells Fargo.  I recently took a promotion that was a much needed blessing.  As many of you know, Ryan lost his job back in May.  It has been 4 months and he still has not found a job after submitting about 400 resumes and applications.  This really is not a market to be looking for a new job.  When he couldn't get a job my family had a family fast for us and we prayed about it that night and got our answer.  We felt very strongly that he needed to focus on school and I would work full time until he is done.  We now realize what a blessing it was that I didn't quit my job after having Kayden, because they were able to give me more hours during those months.  So, anyway, I took a promotion and I am no longer in a branch.  I am working in Store Accounting Support (SAS) as an Operations Processor.  That crazy thing about this is that I have been wanting to work in Operations since I started at WF, but I had never been presented with the chance.  The day after the fast I went to work and was looking at jobs and there were a couple of jobs that I thought would be awesome if I got it.  I applied for a total of 5 jobs and only got declined from one.  I had 4 phone interviews and one personal interview (with another one scheduled) over a two week span.  A couple of days after the personal interview I was offered a job and I gave my 1 1/2 week notice.  My manager was aware that I was looking for a job and he was there when I got the call.  He was awesome and fully supported me in everything I did.  It is so crazy how things fall into place.  I know it is because I have the gospel in my life and the spirit in my home.  We have been so blessed and although it has been hard, it has been good at the same time.  I will be in training for SAS until the end of October.  It is really intense training and the first 2 weeks I dreamed about it every night.  Now, I am so tired that I fall asleep at night and don't hear my alarm in the morning.  My brain is on overload!!!

I enjoy coming home to Kayden and Ryan.  Kayden is growing like CRAZY.  He is the most precious little guy, although he is into biting EVERYONE and EVERYTHING.  He bit his little cousin, Landon, and left marks.  It is not very fun disciplining him when he bites, but we know he needs to learn.  He crawls REALLY fast now and walks if he has something to hold on to.  He is getting more brave and actually took 4 steps the other day.  He just laughs when we clap at him though.  We got him a little toy that he can push around and walk with and he uses it all the time.  He loves it.  Ryan's mom and sister and occasionally my sister watch Kayden while Ryan is at school and Kayden seems to enjoy visiting all the different places.  

Well, I want to get to bed tonight so I will put a little caption by the pictures then be done for the night.

This is the toy I was talking about!  Kayden loves being outside and babbling all the way.  When we walk towards the door he gets so excited he almost jumps out of our arms.  He loves watching the cars on the other side of the church. (It is a pretty busy street and he thinks the cars are so cool!)
I love playing with Kayden's hair.  His hair still has a little bite of curl to it.  I would love it if he always had curly hair.
Kayden is OBSESSED with computers and the other day at Ryan's parents it was really quiet and so I went to see what he was doing and this is how I found him.  YUP, he had pulled the keyboard down and was typing an email!!!!
I thought it would be cute to put Kayden in the dryer and he was trying to close the door.  It was so funny.
Same as above but trying to climb out this time.
Being superman, I guess.  He does this all the time and he growls when he does it, but it is the funniest thing in the whole world.  
He woke up with his hair like this one day.  I thought Ryan had intentionally put it in a fohawk.
I love his eyes in this picture!

Walking again!
Playing with his one favorite buddies, Landon.  They chase each other around.  Deena, Aaron, and Landon are going to be moving closer to us.  Actually right across our grass.  It will be nice to have them so close.  
Brooke enjoying a not so common treat!
Ryan and I were trying to get ready and Kayden wouldn't let us . . . so we built a barricade out of random things and I went in the room to check on Kayden and he was like this trying to get out.  It looks like he is laughing, but he was REALLY mad about it.
Here is a little better picture of his little 'superman' move he does.

Hope everyone is doing well.  

Cameron and Alice Tie the Knot!

My younger brother, Cameron, got married on the second of August to a girl from Honeyville, UT named, Alice Taylor.  It was an amazing sealing and we are so happy for them.  My whole family was able to be there except for Karl, who is on a mission!  They were married in the Ogden Temple and it was great!  Anyway, here are some pictures of the shin-dig!
This is my nephew David.  He is the sweetest little guy ever.  I called him the best man because he and Cameron have always been best buddies and he was wearing a tux!  He looked so handsome so it had to make my blog!
You can tell David really didn't want this picture and Alice's sister is completely okay with it!  It was so funny!
I thought this picture was so cute!  I love it actually and I got like ten of them because the setting on my camera was taking multiple pictures at a time!
This is the first time Keith had seen Kayden since Keith came in November when Kayden was born.  Kayden loved Keith and Keith loved Kayden.  (I am trying to see how many times I can use there names in a paragraph!)j/k!  This was right outside the temple as we were waiting for the new Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Prescott!
Classic walking out of the temple picture!  I love how Cameron is trying to not look at all the cameras and Alice has a big ole grin on her face!  Alice is always smiling or laughing . . . it is great!
Well, this is Richard!  I don't think I need to explain if you know Richard, but if you don't know him then just know that this is completely in character for him!
Once again, but with Doris.  Also in character!!!!
The sun was so bright that I was having a really hard time keeping my eyes open, but this is right outside the temple!  It was beautiful!
At the reception!  Story time. . . We had to be there at 5:30 for family pictures and I was running late as usual and I got a call when I was 3 exits away from the one I needed to take and it was Dana and she asked where I was at, so I told her and she said, "Well, can you hurry . . . it is an emergency!"  My heart dropped and I asked what was going on and she said, "Alices sister is sick and can't fix her hair and the heat made it flat and so we need you to do an updo for her!"  So I hurried and in this picture you can kind of see how it turned out.  She has a ton of hair, but it took me maybe 10 minutes to do it and I think it looked pretty darn cute!
This is where the reception was at!  It was amazing!
Doris and Kayden at the luncheon!  She loved him too!  Look how cute his little teeth are!  To bad he uses them to BITE me all the time!
Giving Daddy kisses!  It really is precious . . . and slobbery!
Everytime a train would pass my cute little nephew, Heber, would run up to the fence and watch it go by and he would always look for the last car and say over and over, "There's the last one, There's the last one!"  It was so cute!  
Getting ready to leave.  My brother is so sweet and I couldn't help taking this picture!
Standing on the bridge!  I just wish I had done it when it was brighter outside so there weren't so many shadows!  My nephew, Jacob took this picture!
Say it with me now . . . "OHHHHHH SOOOO CUUUUTTTTEEEE!"  And that is when I say, "I know!!!!!"
