Kayden and the Utah snow!

So this past week we went to Utah...and it was a great time. We stayed with Annette and Neal (Thank you so much!) and we got to welcome home Elder Karl Prescott (pictures to come)!  Karl had a 3 hour (at least that is what we thought) in Salt Lake so we thought it would be the perfect chance for us to drive up and spend time with family and friends.  I got to see my old roommate, but I need to get the pictures from her blog...so I will put them on here another time.  We got to see my grandma and I am waiting for those pictures from my brother because I had forgotten our camera.  It was a wonderful trip and I am so glad we were able to go to the land of snow!  We truly enjoyed our time there.  It was even better that we were able to see Karl longer than we had planned to see him for!
We were packing for our trip and Kayden (you will notice a trend in these pictures) always has to put a hat on!
Right after we left Vegas Kayden was so out!  He slept the majority of the way.  It was great and he is a really good traveler.
There was a period of time that he didn't sleep and he had played with everything so I broke down, he was shocked as well, but I gave him a dum-dum.  He would look at me then look at the sucker then at me again and get a huge smile on his face, "I can't believe you gave this to me!"
Love the snow on the Utah mountains!
Another hat...
Kayden stood at the window and watched dada snow blow the drive way while Neal was at work on Tuesday.  He had to do it 3 times because of all the snow.  Kayden watched him every time too!
Can you find Ryan?
Finally, we got Kayden dressed in Zanders snow suit and took him outside.  He loved watching the snow fall.
Just didn't like being thrown in it so much!
He didn't like this so much either, but what was I supposed to do when I needed to get ready and he kept going up to Zander and poking him in the eye to say, "EYE!"
Here is the cute little Zander.  He is the sweetest little guy.  He has the funniest laugh and the cutest little noises.  I fell in love with the little guy!
Kayden loved Oakley and I don't think Oakley minded Kayden as long as Kayden didn't hold his toy to long.  Kayden was pretty good at throwing the toy to Oakley.  Oakley is the most well behaved dog.
Zander was excited about something.  I think it was me...His favorite AUNT!!!!  YUP...I said it LeeAnn...I am his fave...And doris tooo!
Yet another hat!
Uncle Cameron playing with Kayden.  This isn't the best picture...Kayden would really fly, and he loved every minute of it.  It was great!

Chicken Nuggets and Ketchup

Recently we have realized that Kayden loves 'dunking' his food. He especially loves ketchup, possibly another Karl on our hands. You will see in the pictures at how well he is at dunking his food. Or should I say his finger. The little stinker will sit in his chair and dunk his finger into the ketchup and suck it off his finger...He didn't dunk the chicken nuggets into the ketchup until I got him a fork to use to do it. It was pretty darn crazy and funny. He was a mess. I have to let him get messy once in a while because it drives me crazy to have him dirty. He is a total boy though and will get messy at any cost. I thought this was especially cute though. My cute dirty, covered in ketchup boy~How I love my little rugrat!

This one was right before he got stripped down and put in the bath.  Notice the cup holder with the ketchup...That was full when I first put the ketchup in it!
I was his favorite at the time...You should have seen the look he gave me when I put the ketchup on his tray...He was in awe!
There goes the finger dunk...
And the finger licking....YUMMY!
Notice how full the ketchup was towards the beginning.

Now another story...The other day I was playing with Kayden and I was laying on my side on the living room floor and Kayden grabbed my face with his cute little, chubby hands and planted a big ole' smackeroo right on the smackers.  It was so cute.  I think he sees Ryan and I kiss and thinks that is what he has to do as well.  But I have noticed since that if he really wants something and saying, "pweese" won't get it for him...He gives me a kiss.  That gets my attention obviously!  He is so fun and is getting so big, but the fits have started and while they may look hilarious they are so embarrassing when he does them in church and you have to fight with him!

Kayden and the bike trailer

Well, this weekend we bought a bike trailer. I have been going back and forth from the bike seat for Kayden or the trailer...I decided to do the trailer because the seat wouldn't work with my bike because the seat has shocks on it. So here are some pictures of the cute little guy in the trailer. They are taken from Ryan's phone so they aren't the greatest!We bought him the helmet for him to wear when we go out of our neighborhood.  He doesn't like it because he can't walk with it on.  It is too heavy.  He tried to dance with it on and totally biffed it!
This is him saying please over and over again because we would stop and he didn't want us to!
I didn't know Ryan was taking a picture of me or I wouldn't have been talking to him! LOL  oh well.  Kayden had a blast and we loved it!

Christmas, New Years and Denver...PHEW

Happy Holidays...I hope that you all had a great holiday. We really enjoyed the holiday season. On Christmas we got up and opened presents at our place then went over to Ryan's parents and Kayden got super spoiled over there. I got a bike for Christmas, but I haven't had a chance to ride it because we need to take it in because one of the brakes is sticking. I have been really anxious to ride though. I can't wait to ride. I bought Ryan a new wedding band. He has lost so much weight that he would have his arm around me and his other ring would fall right off. I got a really good deal on this ring and I am glad that I got it for him. He was so surprised. We got Kayden a dump truck, building blocks, a book, and a movie. I think next year he will really enjoy Christmas. This year it got old after two gifts. Ryan's parents got me a purse and a really cool picture frame, a framed picture of the first presidency, and a food dehydrator. I am excited to use the dehydrator for the first time tomorrow! I bought apples to slice and dry!

For New Years we went to Ryan's grandparents and had mexican food and did a white elephant exchange. That was a lot of fun. The day after new years we went to Denver for Portia's baptism on Saturday and little Rebekah Jane's blessing on Sunday. We had a blast, but wish we could have stayed longer.

While we were there Kayden got to running a fever again. Poor little guy was running a fever and fell down the stairs and bonked his head. On Saturday night Kayden woke up and started coughing then started throwing up. He got it all over me and himself, but got a tiny drop on the sheets. My niece, Portia, was grossed out that someone had thrown up on her bed. It was pretty funny. Ryan gave Kayden a blessing after he had dosed off again and Kayden woke up in the morning and has been just fine since. The power of the priesthood is so amazing.

Well, just like normal...I am going to over load you with pictures.... ENJOY!!!!

Kayden enjoyed Santa the second time so much better than the first!
For Ryan's extended family party the kids acted out the Christmas story.  Kayden was one of the shepherds.  A darn cute one at that!
Ryan went to a Colorado Avalanche game while in Denver...It is out of order I know...I'm still trying to figure this thing out!
Ryan's Aunt had the painting done for the activity.  How do you like that cute little lamb...  I just noticed him.  Isn't he cute?  That is Varis...he is a month older than Kayden, but they were due the same day.
Can you see Camilla?  I was trying to hide.  It didn't work so well
On Christmas, Brooke was pushing her dolly around in Kayden's new tractor.
At Zoo lights with Ryan's family.
Richard and Portia at the hockey game.
My dad, Ryan, and Portia.  Portia was in heaven.
Sugar high?  I think so!
Leaving for the baptism.  Kayden had his cute little suit on that I got at JcPenney for $5.  What a deal!
Richard and Portia at the baptism.  This is the sweetest picture.
I know it is blurry, but it is still really precious.  I actually didn't post the one that I fixed so it wasn't blurry.  This is my little Rebekah Jane Prescott.  She is the sweetest little thing.
The picture they had done in her blessing dress didn't turn out so we did our own photo shoot.  I think they turned out pretty good.
Kicking her legs and swinging her arms.
Ryan and Kayden out in the snow.
Little Bekah and I.  Isn't she so cute.  She is super tiny as well.

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!
