San Diego Visit

Over the weekend Kaden and I drove to San Diego to visit our friends, Kate, Vivienne, and Georgia. Friday afternoon, Kate and I took the kids to an amusement park down at the beach where Kaden and Viv rode some rides. It was freezing, but the kids had a blast. Kate was even brave enough to take Viv and Kaden on the Tilt-A-Whirl while I watched the baby. They were the only people on the ride so the operator just let the ride keep going and going until we thought that Kaden was going to puke so Kate had to yell for the guy to stop the ride. It was pretty funny.


Friday night after bath time, Kate put Viv's hair up in some sort of turban twisty thing that's supposed to dry your hair. Of course we couldn't resist putting one on Kaden's hair. We knew it'd make Daddy proud. : )


On Saturday, we went to the San Diego Zoo. The weather was great and the kids had a great time! It's a really nice zoo!

Trying to Catch Up!

I know, I know. I've been terrible at keeping this thing updated since I've been back from Indiana. It's really hard to be motivated to do anything when you're living in Yuma. Life is very, very, very slow. So here's a bunch of pictures to get you updated on Kaden. : )


Before we left Indiana, we had an early mini-birthday party for Kaden. Grandma Wells made the cake. Of course Kaden had to play with the car toppers for several days before we were able to get the away from him to use them. For those of you around mom, you'll have to ask her how to spell the word "Birthday." (Love you Mom!! ; )


Kaden thought that digging his fingers into the icing was pretty cool. It's an improvement over his first birthday when he wouldn't even touch his birthday cake. Still didn't have any luck getting him to blow out his candle though.


Aunt Suzanne bought Kaden an electric guitar for his birthday. Daddy was so excited to hear that Kaden has yet another toy that makes noise!!



When we got back to Yuma, Kaden had more Christmas presents waiting for him from his Grandpa and Grandma Ingham.


On Kaden's birthday, I took cupcakes into his preschool for all of his friends to have. He had made a crown that said "I am two!" Plus, I had bought him a button for him to wear that read, "I am two today!" They all sang "Happy Birthday" to him and he clapped for himself.


I made Kaden a birthday cake on his actual birthday and we actually got him to blow out the candles!! We cheered and cheered for him. That being said, we then had to relight and blow them out at least 10 more times before he was satisfied.


Kaden received even more birthday presents from his friends Ashlynn and Alyssa. They got him lots of Dora stuff, which he absolutely loves and Daddy hates. Ha! Ha! And then his friend Viv got to come over from San Diego and they celebrated their birthdays together (her's was on Feb. 12th) at Chuck E Cheese's. Needless to say, he's had more of a birthday month then just a day. And between Christmas and his birthday, our house is starting to look like a daycare! It's ridiculous. What's even worse is that he still gets in my drawers and cabinets and plays with the tupperware and straws!! Go figure!

Finally Finished

Wow! That took a lot longer than I thought. Not the moving part, the getting our internet transferred a half a mile down the road part. Anyway, we did get moved into our new house and yes I will post pics sometime this week. I just wanted to let everyone know that we are alive and well. Tired, but alive. : )
