Happy St. Patty's Day

a week late:-) Sorry, I've been slacking! On St. Patty's day we went over to our friend's house and Kayden was spoiled by Auntie Sara's fun St. Patty's day foods and loved playing with their "big woo woo" in the backyard. He doesn't even cringe when he picks up the slimey ball to throw it for Sam. He also decided to find Sam's "prizes" in the backyard and we had to have a bath when we got home and wash his clothes (of course he found them but Miss Audrey never does!) The kiddos loved playing together and Kayden is so used to Audrey wanting his leftovers that he put them on her tray for her!!!! Too funny!:)

Daddy's little buddy!

They ended at the stadium

Daddy said he loved this big ball

The train they rode on

I really don't think he could be any cuter! Daddy teaching him about electrical wires that run the train

Weekends we usually spend as a family and do stuff together as our family of 3. Well with daddy gone all week last week and mommy having Kayden 24/7 for 3 days without a break....on Saturday daddy took Kayden to ride on the lightrail train while mommy stayed home and had the house to herself. Kayden loves trains and the other day when we were going to the zoo he kept saying "want ride" "ride choo choo" "want ride choo choo"......so daddy decided to make his wish come true. They left around 10 am and went to ride the choo choo, and didn't get home until after 1. I loved having some down time and Kayden had so much fun with daddy that he took a 4 hour nap!! (don't worry, we paid for it that night when he had way too much energy to go to bed at 8 like he usually does). I know this is just one of many outings/adventures/trips that daddy and Kayden will have together. I'm so glad Kyle has his little boy to do fun boy stuff with

Storytime and Naptime for his little friends

Cheesin big as he feeds Jax his waffles

Storytime, I came into the room and found this!

He tells them all the names of the animals and their sounds!

And after storytime he made this bed for them and put them to "sleep"

Kayden is loving playing daddy to his stuffed animals these days. He feeds them (puts crackers on their lips and then Fifi eats them:-), reads them stories, gives them a nap, rocks them, gives them drinks, he has most of the care down to a "t", he must take in all the mommy does during the day b/c he is really good at pretend playing it out with his animals! It warms my heart to see him being so caring and attentive to his little "babies".

Twins??

Kayden decided the wagon needed to be messy too!

Future Soccer Player!

Not sure what to think!

Wagon rides

Audrey's mommy went on vacation to Florida so she came and played with us on Friday while her daddy went to work. Kayden woke up excited that his friend was coming over and they started the day with breakfast together, we played in the playroom lots. Read books, did puzzles, had some "choo choo" action and then headed to the park. At the park everyone thought they were my twins. "How old are your twins?" "How old are your cuties?" etc was what I got over and over. I guess since they are similar skin tones and hair colors they just assumed? To me they look very different but it was fun having "twins" for the day! They played on the equipment at the park, swang in the swings and Kayden introduced Audrey to the fun world of SAND! She had fun in it...not as much fun as Kayden did. He actually had to have a bath when we got home he had so much fun in the sand:-) They had a great day together, no altercations at all and Audrey was an angel........she did poo FIVE times which meant I had 6 poopy diapers to change in one day, but it just made me laugh that she had so many presents for me:-)

You've got to roll it

Sand Fun!

The simple things!

Thank you Kayden for making us stop to smell the flowers today! I love how you have us enjoy the simple things and can make a walk to the mailbox so enjoyable. You bend down your little legs, take a big whiff of the flowers and go "ahhh" and then say "mama" and point to the flower and have me kneel down to smell them too.
Another big smile came to my face when we were leaving Target and a "g-rider" was listening to his rap music really loud and stopped for us to walk in front of his car, you busted out into "Kayden dance moves" right in the middle of the parking lot and made everyone around us smile. I love how you can make so many strangers smile just by being your amazing little self! I hope you always have that inhibition and confidence as you get bigger.
