Angels Landing

At the beginning of November we hiked Angels Landing.  I had never hiked it before so we thought it would be a fun hike to do and not too hard.  I loved it and so did Kaden.  Kaden loves people, and every person we would pass he would smile so big at them or make some sort of noise so they would look at him.  We got a lot of comments about taking  our 7 month old baby on the hike.  I honestly didn't think it was scary at all.  The last mile does get a little sketchy, but if you don't venture off the trail there is no way you could fall.  It would be a different story if we took Kaden when he was 1 and running around like crazy....that would be a bad idea.  

 Kaden loves bath time and he also loves his cousins.  Callie and Taizlee are great helpers when it comes to taking  care of Kaden.

Halloween 2011

Kaden was a dragon for Halloween. He was only 6 months so he didn't understand what was going on, but he did like the candy. We had a trunk or treat with our ward the day before Halloween. On Halloween We went out to our parents houses to visit them and do a little more trick-or-treating.

Fall Family Frolic

We had a lot of fun up in Brian Head this year for our Fall Family Frolic! We always look forward to UEA because that is when we have our Fall Family Frolic. This year we went to the same cabin that we stayed in last year. A lot of four wheeling, crafting, eating, and playing with cousins happened up there. Kaden fell asleep every time we went four wheeling. Kaden loves being outside and he loves playing with his cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. We all had a good time and we can't wait for next year.

6 Months Old

My little baby is 6 months old. He is growning up so fast. He loves to stand and jump, i think he will walk before he crawls. He loves to eat. His highchair reclines and his favorite way to eat is to have it reclined back with one of his feet up on the tray. He loves being outside and he loves playing with his cousins. He sleeps through the night in his crib which is fabulous for me!! He says dada all the time and he only says mama when he gets mad. He loves his dad so much! He thinks i am hillarious...I totally am:) He has the worlds cutest laugh! He is the happiest baby. He honestly is always smiling unless he is hungry, tired, or is around Papa Dennis then he gets really serious. We love our little Kaden so much!

Poop on the Potty

One might think that I am a crazy mom making my 5 1/2 month old poop on the potty. Well I might be crazy but at least I'm not a crazy mom who is changing poopy diapers. Kaden is extremely obvious when he is going to the bathroom. I was sick of waiting for him to finish in his diaper so i could change him. I decided to stick him on the toilet one morning and wouldn't you know it...he went in the potty. He goes every morning like clock work, and I actually think he is somewhat understanding what is going on because as soon as i stick him on the toilet he starts grunting, it is quite funny. We have gone about 3 weeks and he has only gone in his diaper twice so i think we are doing pretty good. We will see how long it lasts!

September Happenings

September came and went in a whirlwind of fun! I'm pretty sure we were busy every weekend in September. We went to Delta over Labor Day to ride my grandpa's horses and to play on his tractors. I had the horse ride of my life while we were there. I really like horses and I'm not and excellent rider, but I can hold my own. I got on my grandpa's horse named Mustang and i thought I would go for a trot around the feed lot. Well Mustang had a mind of his own and instead of trotting he started to sprint. I tried stopping him probably 6 times but he just wouldn't stop. All I could do was hold on for dear life and pee my pants. I don't even care that I peed my pants, i'm just happy i didnt die.
Braden and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary on Sept 19. We went to Disneyland for our anniversary. We had a blast. We left Kaden with my parents for 2 nights. We have never left Kaden for even a night, so 2 nights was pretty hard. We have had a really great 2 years and i'm looking forward to many many more!
Swiss Days is always the 4th Saturday in September, and you better believe we ran the swiss days 5k. neither of us did good, braden actually couldn't walk for 3 days after because he hasn't excersised in so long...it was hillarious.
