Fifi

Is a trooper! She now has 2 littles chasing her around the house and terrorizing her. The boys decided to brush her.....and she actually let them for awhile. She is a good doggie for sure! I love that the boys are now becoming partners in crime sometimes.....lots more to come. I can't wait until I catch them scheming together, then I will know that their bond is secure:) My little brothers and I schemed daily and loved every minute of it!

Pumpkin Patch

I am behind in posts...so here is our pumpkin patch post. We went Saturday October 9th to Roca Berry Farm Pumpkin patch. The pumpkin patch was super cute. Full of fall festivities and of course lots of orange pumpkins. The boys had a ton of fun playing in the hay, riding on the train, visiting the petting zoo, watching the Hillbilly Pig Races, going through the haunted house, riding on the hayrack ride and choosing pumpkins. The day was a little warmer than I had hoped but was a perfect fall day with our little family of 4.

Clapping!

Last Friday we went to Grandpa Marty's football game to watch him coach. The team won 49 to 7! Woo Hoo Grandpa! Kayden loved seeing his grandpa coach and was asking everyone "do you see my grandpa?" he loved bragging about his grandpa to everyone! Breck LOVED when the crowd clapped for plays and he had to resituate himself in the Ergo so he could clap with the crowd. It was soo cute.

Tailgating for the Husker/Manhattan Game...

And.... my self confident 3 year old, ran into a group of Husker fans in front of a big party bus that he did not know, got in the center of them and yelled "GO BIG RED". These fans then made a tunnel for him and he ran down it giving them all high 5s. These same (very drunk!) fans had to come... find his mom and tell her that she has the coolest kid ever.
I LOVE that we have given him the gift of self confidence, it will take him far in life:) And I love that he loves our HUSKERS!! GO BIG RED!!!

Forever?

Me- you'll always be my son kayden, forever and ever. Kayden- NO. I'm getting bigger and bigger everyday. I will not always be your son you little stinker butt, I have to get big someday. daddy isn't your son bc he is big.

11 Months!

One month away from your big day little guy. I really can not believe it is almost here. Almost one year since you came out of my belly and were put on my chest, feels like yesterday. You are a delight to be around and the apple of your mommy's eye.

At 11 months you-
*Have ate almost everything we eat, but we don't do nuts or honey yet.
*love to feed yourself, want me to spoon feed you your pureed food less and less.
*nurse on demand.
*can drink out of any sippy cup we give you! You figured out sippy cups so easily and can do straws, spouts, etc, any that you want. You just grab brother's and drink if your thirsty and you don't have a sippy around (this doesn't make brother very happy:)
*Cruise along everything
*love to chase us, and have us chase you
*say mama, dada, ball, no, go, vroom
*LOVE to growl like a lion!
*Love to clap and sing if your happy and you know it, patty-cake, and just clap for any reason at all;)
*bring me books all the time to tell me you want to read. Love Brown Bear and Love you Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow too!
*Give us cute open mouth kisses
*are a little snuggle bunny! You love snuggling with us, especially when your tired.
*love to be outside. When we get you out of the carseat you try to jump out of our arms to get down and play outside.
*you snuggle up next to mommy all night (you do start in your crib but then make your way into mommy's bed, and I LOVE it!)
*love when mommy and daddy sing songs.
*ADORE your brother! He is your best toy and entertains you all day long!

You are a dream come true Breck. We love you so much and are so blessed to spend everyday with you. You make us all happier and are the perfect addition to our family. We love you to the moon and back baby boy!!

First Walk down the Aisle!

Pretty sure there has NEVER been a cuter ring bearer!!!



Kayden had his first walk down the aisle...to his "bride" Carrie:) He was the ring bearer in Mark and Carrie's wedding and for months prior to the wedding he was sure that HE was marrying Carrie, not Mark. He even called Mark once and said "who's marrying Carrie Mark? Me or You? I'm marrying Carrie Mark!" He knew he had to wear a tux and said that was how he new HE was marrying Carrie. I guess it's a testament to how much Kayden agrees with Mark's choice of who to have join our big family. He must approve:)
The rehearsal on Friday did not go too hot. We had to wake Kayden up to go and he was not a happy camper. He wouldn't walk down the aisle and made us all nervous. But on the wedding day he did great. He walked down the aisle by himself (with the promise of a "surprise") and aside from going back and forth bt the pews to his dad and I he was a trooper. He did go up once and ask Mark "How long are you going to be up here Mark?" in the middle of the ceremony...hey, the littles in weddings always do something funny, right?:)

The reception was Kayden's favorite part. He lit up the dance floor, shook his little booty, did knee slides, spins and all sorts of fun moves. He shook it for every song that played and had so much fun. At one point he went and got my Auntie Irene and asked her to dance with him and then when they were done said "how did you like that?" Awww my little man just melts my heart. I could have watched him dance in that little tux forever. But at 9pm he ASKED to go to bed! He said he was "SO tired". That has never happened before in his 3 years of life! So he shook it good that night!
