My buddy...

Kaden is feeling much better after having a fever and rash (caused from the fever). He is back in business! He got to his Grandparents and was excited to see he had a little buddy. Kaden and Brody were fun to watch together they are at an age where they really interact. They ran up and down the halls at Grandma's chasing each other and screaming it was cute to watch. Church was a little difficult they just wanted to run and play, Brody fed Kaden fruit snacks throughout the meeting it was pretty funny to watch.

One of those weeks...

You know those days when nothing goes right, well that has been my week! It all started with a little toe. Last Sunday morning I noticed that Kaden's toe was a little red. By the end of that night it was streaking up his foot and didn't look good. We started antibiotics that night by Tuesday I thought it was so swollen I should open it up and let it drain. I got my needle all sterile and ready but when I went to open it and it already had. (these are pics from yesterday it looked worse last week, so it is getting better.)

The next morning he woke up scalding hot with a fever and was cranky. He stayed like... this day after day he had a fever and wouldn't eat. I assumed he was teething. Then after being stranded at Fashion Place mall, riding trax home (long story) I had decided it had been the worst week ever and wanting so badly to be with my husband and son and together as a family I decided to try and make a 6:20 flight to Spokanne and it was 5:40 I packed together my stuff raced to the airport had the SLOOOWEST lady at the counter ran throughout the airport with Kaden screaming his guts out and bouncing around on my hip while I am madly pushing the stroller through the crowds and panting like I someone who hasn't started working out since being oh 4 months pregnant (this was the moment when I decided oh maybe I should work out) getting to the gate only to have them say well we tried to wait they just barely shut the door, the plane was still there. I was of course distressed I sadly got a hotel and the earliest flight out the next morning. So at 4 am when I wake Kaden up to catch our flight I see this...

But the good news is we finally made it (after our four hour lay over in seattle) Kaden got to see his daddy, and I my husband!!! It has been so much fun just hanging out as a family. I would like to say that Kaden's rash has improved since these photos but I am afraid to say he is worse he has more red spots now than white he looks like a little red indian now that has areas of hypopigmentation (white spots). I would also like to say that he is not losing his little toe nail but no it is falling off. My poor child is falling apart, it is hard to watch them when they don't feel good. I am hoping tommorow might be a better day if not we may be calling around to see if we can find a Doctor in town.

Fun with Cousins!

I have been so busy working and getting packed up and ready for the big move that Kaden hasn't gotten out to have much fun. But today we did! He was my little fish he loved the kidde pool. He however was a little scary to me he would fall or jump under the water and it would be a few seconds before I could get to him and he would come up not coughing with a big grin on his face. He doesn't take after me, I manage to plug my nose whenever I fall in the water, water skiing, tubing it doesn't matter my nose gets plugged. He had fun it was a good time and nice to cool off with the hot weather.

Hooray for friends!!!

I sometimes miss all my friends it seems that everyone is going and even already gone different ways. Me and some of my girlfriends got together for lunch the other day it was so fun.We have had so many fun times with friends and I hope that doesn't stop as we move along in life. I was trying to organize some pictures for a scrapbook and ran across some fun pictures that I am sure I have promised many of you but I will post them and then let me know if I still owe you all pics. Love you guys...

Kaden's first time on the tube!

I couldn't wait to get Kaden out behind the boat and to get his love of boating started. It is one of my favorite things so I want my kids to enjoy it. It was really anti-climatic thought. I think at first he didn't know what to think but by the end of the whole tube ride he was smiling so hopefully he had fun. He did love camping though...anything outside and he likes to play in the water. Although I am afraid he maybe swallowed too much water. Today he has totally had the runs, his bum is so red and raw that it has blisters. He hardly ever gets diaper rash so this is not a fun experiance for either of us.

Fourth of JULY!!!

We went to the yearly firework show in our city last night. Kaden loved the music, dancing and playing with the kids on the grass. He didn't however know what to think during the fireworks. He was trying so hard to close his eyes and go to sleep (it was clearly past bedtime) but just couldn't sleep with all of big booms and cheers! Today we are off to the lake to ski and spend family time. This is a tradition we do every year.
