I don't have 8 I guess I just think about what I wish for very often or I get down in life. I try not to think about and be happy with what I have and don't very often find myself wishing for things I don't have, except for the perfect life (you know the usual)!

Let the festivities begin...

We had a fun Halloween, the night before our family dressed up and when to a trunk or treat at the church. Kaden was a 101 dalmation, I was cruella and Chris was Roger although he thinks no one knew what he was supposed to be and felt stupid because he had a comb over and looked like a huge nerd. I overheard Chris talking to one on the young men passing out candy who asked Chris where he got his cool fangs? Chris said these are my real teeth and the young men wouldn't let it go he was sure he had in fangs. I felt bad because I know that this has always bugged Chris but it was kind of funny how sure this kid was that they were fake.

Halloween night our good friends had us over for dinner and their trunk or treat. We did rootbeer, Pumpkin pizza and hot wassle. The pizza was cute and Kaden liked eating it before and after trick or treating after treak or treating we watched the grudge 2 it was more entertaining watching everyone scream than the movie because the movie was dumb!

These are our trick or treaters...Conner is the Dragon and Cade the night. Conner all night kept trying to pet Kaden or would say this is my little puppy it was cute. Their boys are great with Kaden. Kaden and Conner would trick or treat together and people would say what a cute sheep and dinosaur...Conner would get mad and say I am not a dinosaur I am a dragon and he's a dalmation, it was so funny! I should have dressed Kaden up as a sheep at least he can baaa better than he can bark.

Halloween this year was a lot of fun. Kaden is finally to the age where his face lights up and he gets excited about things. I was also impressed for a 17 months old to understand how to hold the bucket and run from house to house (he literally ran the entire way!), although we had to break every couple of houses to pick out a treat to eat. His favorites are the dumb dumbs which is good because we got a lot of those. They are messy though and a few times the sticks have disappeared I am afraid he may have eaten those too, oh well extra fiber I guess. Kaden probably face planted on the cement 3 or 4 times and would get up running to the next house it wasn't until he had a collision with a bush that went up his nose and cut the inside that we had a lot of blood which kept running that I thought we should call it quits (that and the pumpkin bucket was full and too heavy for Kaden) but he wanted to keep going. We are going to have candy all year long!

pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins...

We picked out Kaden's pumpkin yesterday. We decided just to do the grocery store thing, after taking off last weekend to do nothing but play Chris had some catching up to do. We will have to do the whole fram thing next year. Kaden did have his choice of many pumpkins and just thought it was fun to be able to climb and crawl all over them. He finally picked one it is a little round one. It should be interesting to see how the carving goes. He is at the age where he wants to be involved but it is nothing but chaos when we do things like this...

Grandma and Grandpa's...

We had a great time visiting Portland/Washington to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We always have so much fun with them. We went out to see the progress on the beach house it is coming along...almost done yeah! It is going to be beautiful and a great place to visit, especially in the summer when it is nice and warm. It was a clear day so you could see all the way up the coast line it was so pretty! It was a little bit breezy and cool which I think is how the beach usually is!

Kaden and I stayed a little longer to see Mason and Alyssa and the cousins. Chase, Callie and Kaden were cute together. Chase loved having Kaden chase him around. They all had fun dancing together it was pretty entertaining to watch their little dance party!

These two are less than a month apart it is fun to see them grow up together...

Always an adventure...

You never know what you will get with Kaden at mealtimes. Some days he asks for seconds and even thirds. And then some days he won't touch what I give him. I can never get him to eat eggs but I can always trust on the good old hot dogs and chicken nuggets (gross...why do kids love these foods?) Regardless it is always a mess and usually he gets two or three baths depending on the amount of food in his hair or stuck on his face.

Then the other day I was cleaning up the kitchen and he was eating and I found this we had to get pictures...

It is always fun & exciting though!

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!!!
