Latest Happenings

Hmmm, lets see what's been going on around here lately....

I've decided to take a CNA class at the community college here in Payson. It will be an online (yikes!) summer course, starting May 27th and ending July 21st. Brent and I both think think this will be a good thing for me to do now, because he's been very lucky in being able to have steady work for the summer. We're not sure how things will be in August, however and that will be flexible hours so we wouldn't have to have daycare if I have to go back to work. Also, if I get a job at the hospital they will pay for my schooling to become an RN. I'm really excited about this and Brent is too. So that will keep me busy during the summer.

Kaden had his first T-ball game yesterday. It was so funny! I think he had fun. He is the youngest kid on his team by far and is about a head shorter than most of them. One time after he hit the ball, he went and picked it up and handed it to a kid on the other team before running to first base. He said he had fun though, and it was so cute to watch.

I'm getting my hair cut on Friday, long overdue! It's been about 9 months since my last haircut!

This weekend we are going camping with my family for Memorial Day. I'm really excited about it! This will be my first camping trip of the summer although Brent and Kaden went on the Father/Son camp out with our ward last weekend. Anyway, it will be lots of fun!

And last but not least, a shout out to my li'l sister Megan. Happy Birthday on Saturday, Meg! I love you so much and I'm so lucky to have you for a sister!

Whew! I'm glad last week is over!

I had an INSANELY busy week last week. Kaden had t-ball practice on Tuesday. I took both my kids to their Pediatrician down in the valley on Wednesday (that usually ends up being an all-day trip) for Kate's 15 month check up and Kaden's 4 year check up. Kate weighs 15 lb 6 oz, and Kaden weighs 25 pounds. My kids are such little peanuts!
But they are both healthy as can be. Kate got 3 shots and has been feverish and grumpy ever since. I'm hoping it passes soon, I've had about all I can take. Kaden got all his Kindergarten shots (4 total) even though he doesn't start Kindergarten for another year. He doesn't need any more shots until he's 11 though.
Friday was my 26th birthday and kind of a lame day (although on the up side, lots of people did remember me on my birthday. Yay, I'm loved! It just wasn't much of a fun day. Oh, well... birthdays tend to loose a bit of their significance as you get older.). All of Thursday and Friday were spent cleaning for our home appraisal (we're refinancing) on Friday and making phone calls to collect food orders and get my order turned in. That takes FOREVER!!! And I was so busy on Friday that I totally forgot to take Kaden to his last day of preschool. I didn't even remember that I forgot until late last night. I hope he didn't miss too much fun!
We went to Brent's parent's house for the weekend. We went to the bank on Saturday and refinanced our car and Brent took me shopping for my Birthday. On Sunday we went to church with Brent's family then we came home and got to talk to Brent's sister Danae on the phone. She's been on her mission for 6 months now. (Portland Oregon sign language mission. It was so much fun to talk to her! I forgot how fast she can talk though. She's so cute.
Anyway, Whew!!! I'm ready for a more laid-back week! I haven't had such a busy week in a really long time.

Happy Birthday Kaden!

Here are some of memories from this year.




Here's what he looked like four years ago. Not the best pics, but it's what I had in my photobucket account. He's come so far from his 2 pound 2 ounce beginning! Every year on his birthday, I'm always reminded how lucky we are to have him. I'm so thankful for him. He is so much fun to have around, and is so funny. He makes me laugh every day.




This is the most recent portrait I have of him. From about 9 months ago. My handsome little man!

My little guy is turning 4 today! I can't believe he's this old already. We love you so much Kaden!!!
