A Day in Life of Mr. Caden

We always say that we should have a camera on Caden at all times. There are so many goofy moments that we look at each other wishing we got it on video. Well, Collin followed him around one day and got most of his day on camera.  :)

Finally!

The second tooth has been literally just laying in his mouth.  He wouldn't let anyone near it.  Then finally, while eating a cupcake at school it came out!

Funny story...today Wyatt asked me how many teeth he will loose.  When I told him 20 he got really quite and sad.  When I asked him what was wrong he asked how he was going to chew his food with no teeth.  I guess we forgot to explain the part about new ones coming in :)

So Sweet

I love it when you catch little moments like this and they don't even know it !:)

Marathon Birthday

Wyatt had quite a day celebrating his 6th birthday. It started off with a family celebration complete with Creature Power suits (Wyatt's favorite show is Wild Kratts) made by Nana. Even Miss Mia got in on the action.

These three were outside playing by 8:30am!

Collin finally got to use his new toy!! :)

We really enjoyed our yard!!!
Even have room for some 2-on-2!

Then some presents and cake!

Had to try out our new scooter!

Then it was time to have a couple friends from class over for a Wild Kratts Adventure party

They activated their creature power suits and it was game time!

Polar bears walking on ice bergs

Wyatt's favorite! Cheetah races

Beavers that built Beaver Damns

Then we built our own pizzas!

A few more presents

And more cupcakes and ice cream!

Then Collin and I sat and wondered how on earth our baby has turned into a handsome, kind young boy so fast!
Happy 6th Birthday Bub!

#1

Ok, so here's the story...

Last night as I was putting Wyatt to bed, he got upset and cried that he didn't want to loose his teeth. He had one that was so close to coming out, but wouldn't even let me touch it. After we talked about how it's just one more thing in being a big boy and that everyone looses teeth, he tells me that when his friend lost hers that day at school she spit out blood. So he was terrified of it bleeding. Fast forward to this morning...
Wyatt was eating his banana and gagged on it and said there was something hard in his banana. And then proceeded to kind of freak out because there was some blood where he had just taken a bit. Sure enough, when I had him spit out what was in his mouth, there was his tooth! Needless to say, Wyatt was a little less than thrilled. After a few tears, and hugs he said he couldn't eat today. :) After I told him that cheetahs (his favorite animal) also loose their baby teeth he kind of turned around. Hopefully #2-19 are less dramatic :)

What a great day!

My walking buddies! Wyatt made it all the way around Capitol Lake today!

Then we went and fed the ducks

Caden was so funny, he kept saying 'here ya go duckie!'

Loved the day with my boys!

Wyatt spotted the fountain and they had to go watch it.
They could have watched it all day. They giggled and giggled and really wanted to get in it.

After we came home the boys played outside for a couple more hours and were pooped. This was them while I cooked dinner.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Tuesday was Collin's birthday. Even though he was working we couldn't miss the chance to take him and the guys a yummy treat! Wyatt decided that 'Daddy needed to have a Star Wars birthday party since he loves Star Wars.' So we got some plates, cups and a shirt for his 'party.'
Hope you had a great day Daddy! We love you!

Easter Weekend

Ready for the egg hunt!

Or maybe cattle herding! This was insane!

But happy boys with all their eggs!

The boys had fun when they woke up Easter morning and discovered eggs hidden around the house. This picture cracks me up because I tried to get a shot of Caden reaching for an egg and ended up getting a shot of a picture frame landing on his head.
It kind of slid down his arm so there wasn't a chance of the class breaking!

Wyatt has wanted an umbrella forever! He actually cried one day leaving Fred Meyer because I wouldn't get him one. I guess the Easter Bunny was nicer than mom! :)

Putting all their change into their Piggies

Handsome boys ready to go to Auntie Linda's for Easter Brunch

Picnic Time

We didn't do a whole bunch during spring break. Potty training Caden kind of kept us close to home. And I didn't mind it one bit! And I have to say the boys sure were buddies. Usually when they are together all day, every day we have to break up a few fights and tug-of-wars. But this week, they played and played and played! We even enjoyed a couple picnics. :)

Sunshine!

Wyatt and I had fun with the sun shinning in our house yesterday!

Twinkle, Twinkle/ABC's

Happy Boys!!!

We took the boys to Crawfords house this morning. Told them that Zale needed Daddy's help with taking apart their old play set to take it to the dump. Then we came home and left the blinds closed while they put it back together in our yard. The boys didn't have any idea. Then after lunch we said they could go play outside. Sent them out and got a very nondramatic 'oh cool.' I don't think they knew what to say. But I think it has sunk in now. They have been climbing, sliding and swinging ever since.

Group Effort

We have been in our house over 6 month now and I am so excited that we are finally getting a chance to start doing some little things to make it feel and look more like a lived in home.

Dr. Caden

I guess Caden really payed attention when we were visiting Collin at the station on Sunday. Today I asked him if he was going to rock in the rocking chair. He says 'no, this isn't a rocking chair, it's a gurney.'
Then proceeded to 'transfer Raggidy Andy to the 'hospital'
Then brought the 'gurney' back and picked up Ann.

Potty Time!

someone is pretty proud of himself! :)

Oh and these buns in his undies just kill me!

They are going to kill me when they are teenagers!
But nothing cuter than tiny buns in big boy undies! :)
