There are pro's and con's of Kate being able to change her own pull-ups.
Pro: She's very independant, which is nice for me when I'm in a hurry. She can dress herself. Take off her pull=up and put on some panties. She usually throws away her pull-up too.
Con: Sometimes she takes off her pull-up, pajamas and all and just throws it all wrapped up into the dirty clothes hamper. Without throwing away the pull up first.
Sometimes I don't think to sort through every single item in the kid's hampers looking for things that shouldn't be there before I throw it in the washer. Sometimes I just dump everything in the hamper into the washer. BIG mistake. I just went to change out the wash, and guess what I found in the washer? Is that bubbles? Foam? I touch it and its a slimy gelatenous goo. Ew ew ew!!!
Guess what I'm be cleaning up this afternoon? Yay for me.

Herrrrrre's Danae!!!
That's right! Brent's sister Danae is home from her mission to the Portland, Oregon sign language mission. She got home on Thursday. We went with the Blanchs to pick her up at the airport. We missed her so much, but are very thankful for her great example to our kids. It's great to have her back. Her homecoming talk in church will be this Sunday. This is a picture of Danae holding Kaden at the airport. After she gave everyone a hug, she picked called Kaden over to her and picked him up. He asked her "how do you know my name?" It was kind of funny. Both of the kids took to her right away. Even Kate, who was only 10 months old when Danae left. They spent the entire weekend glued to her side. I'll bet she was glad to have her legs free when we went back home. Anyway, I'm so happy she's home. I'll even admit, I shed a few tears of joy at the airport. :)
Welcome home, Danae!
Welcome home, Danae!

I know, it's been a while!
Not much going on here. Kaden's done with school for the summer. He really enjoyed his preschool teacher Mrs. Connolly. She is a wonderful teacher and Kaden has grown by leaps and bounds in her class. We've decided to keep him in preschool next year, instead of sending him to Kindergarten. He's still very small, and I think he could really benefit from an extra year of social development as well.
We've been busy with the regular summer-time stuff. Brent and I took a trip on the motorcycle at the beginning of May. We took a three day trip to Casa Grande, Sedona, Williams, and Jerome. We had a blast, but came back very sore. We've both really enjoyed having the motorcycle that Brent bought a few months ago. We also celebrated our 7th anniversary last week. We rode the bike down to Mesa and went to Red Lobster for dinner. I don't like sea food, so I had chicken. I can't believe it's been 7 years! I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful husband who loves me so much, even if I am a little crazy sometimes!
Kaden had his five year check-up last month. He weighs 30 pounds, and was 43 inches tall. He's only in the 10th percentile for his height, and still negative for his weight. His doctor said that for as premature as he was born, he is doing absolutely incredible. She said his last big hurdle will be starting school and seeing how his social skills are. As of now, I think he's kind of in the middle. Not advanced, but not lagging. He does seem to be a little less mature than other kids his age. It never dawned on me that social development could be affected by prematurity until his doctor said that, but it makes sense. Anyway, I'm just thrilled with how well he's doing. He sure is an amazing kid, and is so much fun.
Both of the kids are in swim lessons. Kaden is in t-ball. We've been to visit Grandma Hathcock and Grandma Blanch. We're having a fun summer, but nothing super exciting. I also just started watching my nephew Corey full time. My sister Heidi just started a new job. Corey is lots of fun to have around. He's such a cute and sweet little guy.
We're getting super excited about this Thursday though. Brent's sister Danae has been on a sign language mission in Oregon for the last year and a half. She's flying back home on Thursday!!! We are so excited to see her and have missed her terribly in the last year and a half. Yay!
