Funny Faces and Furry Friends!

Hello! We have had another great couple of weeks. Caden is growing and learning new things everyday. It is so hard to believe that he will be 2 months old on Wednesday!! We have a doctor's visit and our first round of shots on Wednesday, so think about him (and us) then because I am sure that he will not be too impressed, and if I know our son at all, he will make us pay for it the rest of the day. He gets that from his dad! :)

Below are a few pictures from the past two weeks that you will enjoy.

First I want to start by publicly thanking Kodiak the cat for taking over the computer duties for the family. With the new addition mommy and daddy are so busy with the baby, so he has really picked up the slack for us.

Mommy runs a tight ship!

"I'm keeping an eye on mommy to make sure she isn't burning daddy's dinner!

I like to call these next pictures "The Many faces of Caden" Enjoy!

This is my- not so impressed- face. Daddy did my hair after my bath- what was he thinking!

This is my intense stare face that I give anytime someone holds me close.


This is my amazement face- how DO those lights blink with the music!

This is my amused face-that daddy sure can be a clown!

This is my happy-camper face- I sure love my floor mat!

This is my poopy face- I sure have to work hard!

This is my giggle face- that bird sure is funny!

This is my pouty face- look at that lip!

This is my mad face- I'm not playin' around anymore.

This is my smiley face- do you think it will get the girls?


This is my happy face- mommy and daddy love me so much!

This is my sweet sleepy face- life is good napping in mommy's arms!

This is my adorable face- the one that mommy and daddy can't get enough of!


We hope that you love the faces of Caden as much as we do.

Have a great Thanksgiving to everyone "out there". Brain and I are certainly excited to be giving thanks for all of the blessings in our lives, especially our beautiful little man. Talk to you in a few days!

I'm Growing Like a Weed!!!

Oops- I didn't turn the picture so you will have to turn your head!

I have discovered the plug- mom sure does like it- or at least the quiet that comes with it!
Daddy can make me smile but mommy isn't quick enough with the camera to catch it!
Apparently three is not a crowd!
I am such a cute little man!

Grandma Beci's Visit

Beci came down this week to visit and we had a lot of fun. Between playing with the baby, celebrating her birthday and enjoying Halloween, we had a lot of picts to share from her trip. Beci we really enjoyed having you and can't wait for you to come back!

Brian and Beci are enjoying her birthday mining for gems... can't you tell they think they are going to hit the mother load!

Our evening activity was carving pumpkins- we had one for all of us, including a small one for Caden!

Grandma is giving me a bath, and she got as wet as I did!

Grandma love's a sweet baby boy- especially when he is sleeping QUIETLY!

I love my grandma, but I sure am not happy right now!

My First Halloween!!!

I am so proud- my first major acomplishment as a mother since delivery- I made Caden's mustard costume completely from scratch!!! No pattern!!!

Caden was not as impressed with my work as I was!

Why mustard... to go with the hotdog of course!

He is sporting his snazzy halloween outfit from Kevin, Christa and Noah!
