his little table! Such big kids already!

On Friday we had a pre-valentine's party at our friend's Jake and Samantha's house. That morning Audrey came to play bright and early at 7am and Kayden was still sleeping. Audrey's parents had an appointment so we got her all to ourselves for the morning. Kayden woke up to Audrey and I coming to get him and he instantly smiled to see his friend there. He got out of bed and went running towards his playroom with her. They played and ate breakfast together, Audrey is a big eater so after she was done with her breakfast she slid Kayden's plate over in front of her and had his for breakfast too (I couldn't stop laughing:-). We headed to the Valentine's party and the kiddos had lots of fun playing with Jake's fun toys and eating yummy snacks. They also had a little valentine exchange and it was funny watching them give treats to their friends. Kayden gave all the girls a flower and the girls and boys a doggie or kitty valentine with playdough, I was surprised at how well he did with giving his friends the valentine, he would find whatever friend I told him it was for and hand them the valentine:-)

Thanks for letting us watch your baby Auntie Sara and Uncle Preston, we loved having her and she is welcome anytime!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's day today my little love. Today we had a perfect day together, you and daddy brought me breakfast in bed and then you dropped me off for a surprise massage. After my massage we went for our usual Starbucks walk, sat and chatted and drank some coffee and then went for a walk to see the ducks. You love watching the ducks and could just sit and watch them for hours if we let you. We spent the afternoon at home just the 3 of us. Mommy and daddy gave you a train card that makes a choo choo sound and you loved it, you also got a kite and had to go fly it that minute. Too bad we live in AZ and never have wind. That meant mommy or daddy had to run through the park holding you while you held the kite so that your kite would fly........a pretty funny site by others I'm sure (videos and pics of this adventure to come soon:-). We went midday for our Valentine's meal (wanted to avoid the craziness!) and you had tortellini and loved it, you ate every last bite! After we ate we headed to SanTan mall to walk around and get some ice cream. We decided to stop in at Dick's and you loved all the balls that were there, the boats were also a big hit. At one point you made daddy and I climb in a tent with you and we pretended we were camping, you had the biggest smile on your face when all 3 of us were sitting in that tent. I bet everyone else in the store thought we were crazy but we didn't care b/c it made your day. On our walk to ice cream you found some flowers and insisted all 3 of us get down close to them and sniff them b/c you thought they smelled so good:-) It was a perfect Valentine's day with my 2 favorite men! I'm so lucky to have you both as mine and love you both so much! XOXOXOXO Happy Love day sweetie! Love~Mommy

Movies??

Yesterday we lunched with some friends and then the kiddos played around outside. Tula and Kayden were holding hands and walking around. He'd stop and look at something and "show it to her" and she'd look and act interested...so funny watching them. Then they started walking towards the movie theater and it looked like they were on a date headed for the movies. They must have decided to skip the movies b/c then they started playing hide-n-seek. Kayden was behind a pole and he'd peek around and go "hi" and Tula would laugh and laugh, they went on like this for sometime and I couldn't stop from watching them with a big smile on my face! They are just tooo cute for words at this stage!

One for Bear, One for me

Daddy and I got Kayden a table and chairs this weekend b/c he loves sitting at them at his friend's houses and he was soooo happy to have his own table and chairs. He sat one of his bears across from him and ate his breakfast there on Monday, he would eat some cereal and then give some to his bear. It was soo stinkin cute to watch, I just am so in love with my little boy! He also loves to color at his table, play with his play dough and do puzzles. He is so good at all his puzzles, he matches like a pro and can give me each puzzle piece I ask for, he does the 2+ puzzles like a champ. (he doesn't get these puzzle skills from me at all, I hated puzzles growing up, but daddy likes them and so does grandma W so it must be from them:-)

Sprinkles!!

On Monday Kayden and I enjoyed the chilly weather by making some Valentine's cupcakes (chocolate cake with white frosting...Kyle & I's fav cake!). He is such a big helper and loved putting sprinkles on the cupcakes, the more color the better!

Rainy Day

Kayden excited to make a pizza (sitting in the pizza pan:-)

Yay! Sunday brought a bit of a variation to the weather here in sunny AZ. We had a somewhat rainy day. We started our day with church and then went out to breakfast at Wildflower, on the way home we decided to stop at Fresh & Easy b/c Kyle hasn't been there yet and got some stuff to make homemade pizza. Since Kayden is obsessed with pizza these days, I figured he'd have fun making his own and then mommy would know what was in his pizza. They even had nitrite/nitrate free pepperonis, so he got to have some of those on his pizza! He loved making the pizza, spreading the sauce, sprinkling the cheese, putting the pepperonis on, and watching it bake in the oven. He was so proud when we took it out of the oven and made a big deal out of eating the pizza Kayden made for us. He is so much fun right now, soaks up the world so much everyday and loves exploring things in everyway! He is our little helper these days and loves helping anyway possible.
