Baby Madix

We were able to watch Taizlee while Jana was having Madix.  Taizlee and Kadan always have fun together.  Taizlee is such a big helper and she likes to be Kaden's mommy.  The best part is that Kaden doesn't even mind.  We sure do miss having them live so close to us! We can't wait to go visit them in Oregon in July!!!

Grandma Mitchell

Our dear Grandma Mitchell Passed away January 31, 2012.  She was Diagnosed with multiple myeloma around March of 2011.  She fought a very hard and valiant fight.  We were able to spend time with her right before she passed.  It was a very difficult time but she knew her calling here was complete and it was her time to go.   I am sad that Kaden didn't get to know her very well but I know she is watching over him.  I know that our future children will come to us already having been taught and loved on by grandma mitchell.  I will always hold the memories of grandma and what an amazing lady she was close to my heart.

Kaden's First Christmas

Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell gave Kaden a Toy Story four wheeler.  Hayden got a Cars four wheeler and i'm pretty sure that was his favorite gift.  Santa brought Kaden a radio flyer wagon, some clothes, and some other small toys.  I do have to say that I think Christmas is more fun when you have your own children.  

 Kaden couldn't figure out how to make it go so we put him on with Hayden cuz he had no problem making his go.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was filled with lots of food, fun, and family.  That night all of the Mitchell grandkids got to open a present.  It was pajamas.  Kaden got Toy Story pajamas, which went along with the toy story theme of his christmas presents.  We were so happy the Hunter's were able to be here for Christmas.  

Santa Claus

Kaden's first experience with Santa didn't go over very well.  Santa came to the club house for all the neighborhood kids.  We thought it would be better if Kaden went before Taizlee because we knew Taizlee would freak out and we didn't want her to scare Kaden.  Well once I put Kaden on Santa's lap we wanted to hurry and try and get a picture with Taizlee so I started to push Taizlee towards Santa and thats when the screaming started.  I couldn't help but laugh. It still make me smile thinking about it.  

A week or so later Braden's parents had a ward party and had Santa come.  We decided to try it again and Kaden actually did really well.  Hayden was really calm so I think that helped keep Kaden calm. 

Kaden's favorite pass time

Kaden absolutely loves his jumper.  He is quite the maniac in it.  And more often then not, he will jump himself to sleep.
