The dentist...

Kaden did much better than I thought he would at his first dentist appointment. This office was great they were so good with Kaden. I have a hard time keeping Kaden in one spot unless he is eating & obviously that wouldn't work well at the dentist. He did so good, he sat still and we got the appointment over quick and easy. The pictures I got at the dentist for his baby book are funny. They gave him a big tooth brush to play with he must have thought it was a hair brush because he kept brushing his hair with it...hey it was to big for his mouth worked better for his hair.

leaves, leaves & more leaves...

I love the crispness in the air right now. Chris & I have been making apple cider and warm homemade meals it is fun, & then during the day when it is warm Kaden and I go play outside. Today we went on a walk and Kaden discovered leaves he was jumping, yelling and throwing leaves everywhere. The pictures don't do it justice, but he more than enjoyed being able to explore and run all over!!!

Go Taylor...

It was fun to go and watch Tay play. She came into town with her team and was playing at a school that was just 2 blocks from our home. We went down to watch her & she is really good. Kaden was mesmerized he just sat and watched the ball go back & forth. It was fun & she had the winning point in the game we watched...go Tay!!! She is number 9 right up to the net!

Shaggy boy...

So when my mom came into town we didn't have time to cut Kaden's hair. That and without a salon chair and a lot of room it is a difficult feat. Everyday though he looked shaggy and his hair was always a mess as you could see from all the past posts. Today I finally decided to do something about it. I cut it myself!!! I guess I could have waited till Thanksgiving but it was driving me crazy! Here is the before...

and the after...

I love the little mohawk it is finally short enough I can do it again without him looking like a peacock. We can also do the little boy combover for church. Chris thought I should just buzz it but I don't he would look cute with a buzz, he has such great hair! He wouldn't smile in any of these pictures for me. I think he was mad because I did the haircut by myself which takes a little more time and patience from him. He could barely hold still long enough to have his hair cut let alone have mom taking pictures. He was a good sport though!

love fall...

I love the chill in the air and the beauty of the fall. We decided as moms to get outdoors and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. We hiked trails up & around a nearby lake. Despite the signs about bears being sited it was a enjoyable outing. Kaden got to run around with friends & after all his fun running and collecting sticks he was worn out. That gave me time to start the fourth vampire book yeah! He fell asleep on the way to the grocery store so I got a couple hours to read even if it was sitting in my car at the grocery store!

My family...

I have a great family they came to visit us this past weekend and we had all sorts of fun. We did the things that my family always do went to the lake (that's a biggie in my family), haircuts (also a monthly occurence at my house) & shopping (probably hits top of the list). It was fun for Kaden to get to see his grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa got Kaden his first train set. He loves it mostly he takes it apart and tries to put it back together but I love when he pushes the train around the track saying "weeeeee". Kaden got to show off and show all his animal sounds and new words and new tricks my sister Allyson was annoyed she kept saying "he's not a Dog" maybe one day she will see how much fun it is when your little one is learning and can do new things...so fun!!!



This was before Chris' haircut...the waiter at Chilli's joked about him looking hispanic. I had to laugh he didn't trust me with the scissors. I may not be awesome in the hair cutting department but anything would have looked better than what he had. It now looks awesome again my mom is pretty good with the scissors!

just passing time...

I haven't been the best blogger. I have found that the weather has been getting colder which I think sometimes depresses me. I hate being stuck inside all day with no projects or things going on. I decided I was going to teach myself how to digital scrapbook. I had no idea what I was doing when I started but it has gone pretty well. Since I was new to this I was wondering what other do to find cute papers or downloads. I found shabbyprincess through a friend and they have cute things but it would be fun to have a few different sites to choose from. Here are a few of the pages I have done so far! It is really fun!
