Where has the time gone?!

Wow! Where has the time gone?! I guess its safe to say time has flown by and I've forgotten to blog. Sorry!!!

So whats been going on you ask? Lots of stuff!

Kayden is quite the character. He loves to play outside, we've been playing soccer a lot and he's doing really good at kicking the ball. Although he gets bored and then likes to sit on the ball! He is learning to actually talk and say words! We know "buh bye", "ball", "pumpin", "bubble"....he knows the b and p sounds really well! Its so cute just to listen to him talk. He loves his aunt Katie, who we call "KK" :) He goes racing to the door when she comes in. Its precious. He's very good at giving hugs and kisses (his kisses are still open mouth and very slobbery but oh so sweet!) He was sick the past couple of days with a fever. He got to spend two days with his daddy, which he loved! He's back to normal today and back at school.

I'm the boss now!

Dunk your face!

Brett is working days and having fun. He's got a super interesting story about pulling over a car that didn't want to stop (but I'll let him tell you...not sure I can put it on here). He was on bike the other day and was helping with a 5k and said he paced the top runners at 14mph! Nuts! And last football game he got 4 arrests, so its never ending for him.

Life for me is crazy busy (as you can tell by my lack of posts!) I'm still over two facilities which means work is never ending. I think I could work 80 hour weeks and still not be caught up! And then grad school is keeping me super busy, but I'm onto class number 3 already! I definately try to nap on weekends with my little buddy!

Tonight we're having dinner with OB and Lanny, we can't wait!!!

Kayden had the camera...

I let Kayden play with my phone/camera last night....this is his view! Its the little things in life that make me giggle! Love this little booger!

Handyman

Sometimes I don't know where the time goes....between work, grad school, Kayden and Brett it would be nice if things could just slow down. Thats the best part about the weekends, when Kayden and I can play, go visit dad at work and just enjoy our time together as a family. =) Its the BEST part of the week!

Kayden is becoming quite the little character, and he is a sponge! He is imitating everything we do and picks up on some of the most random things! The other day I was  in the bathroom and grabbed toilet paper to blow my nose, so he goes to the roll and pulls some off and wipes his nose! He also loves tools! Brett was working on something the other day and had a screwdriver. Kayden threw a fit until he could have it, and then when he got it, he started to "work". Here's a video of it!

Kayden the handyman

I bought some to go applesauce thinking Kayden might like it....He LOVED it!

We stopped by Braums for milk and Kayden had to have an apple....at least its healthy!



A picture says a thousand words

Here are three pictures from this week....

Holding baby Reagan!

(no....this does not mean he's getting a sibling anytime soon)

Headed to school!

(When did he get soooooo big?????)

Kissing the girlfriend...

(I think this might be a problem.....)

TGIF!

A tad short...

We cut Kaydens hair on Sunday, and cut it a tad short! At least hair grows back right?

Whats been going on?

Sorry its been so long....things just seem to get busier and busier, and my blog gets farther and farther away! But we're still HERE!!!

Lets see....on Labor Day we were able to go to the zoo! The weather was perfect and despite the crowds we had a great time. And Marnie came with us too, which was wonderful! The only animals that Kayden really got to see up close were the gorillas, and the swan paddle boats...lol. We all had fun, maybe next time we go the animals will be more active!

Then the past week has been basically normally with school, work, and everything else. Kayden is learning a lot. He's a sponge just soaking up everything he can learn. Its cute to watch him figure things out, like how to unplug cords and plug them back in, or opening the doors and going outside or just doing the same things mom and dad are doing. He's a joy to watch...most of the time ;) I think he's got a bit of both our ornry sides in him....hehehe. Here are some pics from my phone (not the best quality but its what I've got....)

What a week!

Wow...this week has been anything but dull to say the least...

Last Thursday we found out that Brett's grandfather, Papa Lee, had passed. So this weekend was spent in preparation for a quick trip to Afton, OK on Monday and Tuesday. Monday was the visitation and then we had a big family dinner. Tuesday was the funeral, which was beautiful. Papa Lee was a very loved person and its comforting to know he is in a better place. Funerals are such sad occasions, but its always great to see (and meet) family. During our down time, we had a great time just chatting with Aunts, Uncles and cousins. I met a whole new side of Brett's family and I'm so thankful for that! We had a great time just talking and getting to know each other. Thankfully Kayden was amazing during all of the funeral events! He was a fabulous stress reliever and was a great distraction. :) Kayden is actually named after his Papa Lee!
Papa Lee you will be missed but never forgotten! Love you!

The rest of the week, we have just kept it simple. Kayden is back at daycare and loving every minute of it. You can see how much fun he's been having in this picture...

This would be shaving cream.... (better them than me!)

Brett is gearing up for football season which starts tomorrow, and I'm trying to balance the jobs of two supervisors. I think we are all looking forward to a three day weekend!!!!
