OSU Homecoming!

GO POKES!!!

Homecoming in Stillwater is a BIG thing! Monday morning of Homecoming week they turn the fountain orange, Friday is walk around, Saturday you have the parade, tailgate and football game, and Sunday is recovery. And to add to the excitement, Mom, Rebecca and Sarah all came into town!!!! Friday Kayden wore his orange sweatsuit, which he looked adorable in. We all went to walk around and then out for dinner.

I've got my orange on!

Saturday we started the morning off with the Sea of Orange Parade. We sat with my friend Cara and her son Easton. Kayden loved the horses and dogs in the parade. He even saw an OSU police car and yelled Dada...too bad it wasn't dad :(

Me and my buddy!

Cara loves the parade!!! (don't kill me for posting this!)

Then we headed to tailgate to hang out with the SlowPoke crew, eat some fabulous food and get ready for the game. Mom, Rebecca and I didn't have tickets so we went back to the house, where we enjoyed some nap time and waited on Sarah and Katie to come home. Once everybody was back we had a great time! Kayden loves attention and his giggle is contagious! Here is the rest of our evening.

I'm gonna get you!

I love my Gamma!

Sunday Mom, Rebecca and Sarah headed back to Texas so we headed to Edmond for lunch at Ted's with our friend Keri, who was celebrating her birthday. Lunch was great, and we had a fun time with the short weekend. Mom and Rebecca are now taking care of Sarah who had some dental surgery this morning. They head back to Michigan tomorrow.

Kayden with his new friend Bullet!

A visit from friends!

Last week, Kim came to visit me and brought her two adorable angels Kaitlyn and Jacob! Jacob and Kayden are only 2 months apart so they make perfect little buddies. It was wonderful to catch up with Kim, we don't get to hang out as much now that we live in Stillwater. And the kids had a great time. I hope we hang out again soon! Here are some pics from the visit!

We made a fort! Kaitlyn stood up too soon!

Kayden coming out of the fort...

There goes Jacob!

Aren't I cute?

Mom don't embrass me!

I don't wanna wear my pants!!

The many sides of Kayden

Kayden is a little busy body. He never slows down and is absolutely fearless (not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing). To say the least he wears me and Brett out by the end of the day! This past week was spirit week at daycare and I wish I would have gotten a picture of him everyday! He was so stinkin cute!
Tuesday was mismatch day. He wore sweatpants with plaid shorts and a striped shirt.
Wednesday was decade day. So we cuffed his jeans, slicked back his hair and wore our tight white shirt. 50s.
Thursday was western day. A plaid shirt and some jeans, and that cowboy was ready.
Friday (today) is spirit day! He's decked out in his OSU outfit from OB and Lanny! (I got a pic today!)

I can't get the camera out often because he always takes it from me, so the cell phone works better. Here are some pics of my little booger....and a cute video!

Snuggled on daddy's lap

Not sure cheetos were the smartest idea....

Good morning!

What every child should do on Sunday mornings......Read the newspaper!

Parkhurst Pumpkin Patch

My friend Cara and I both wanted to take our kids to the pumpkin patch and Cara found this super cool one! It has hay rides, pony rides, a petting zoo, a big tractor to play on, hay mazes and pumpkins! Definately a perfect place for the kids. So on Sunday we loaded up Cara's car and the 4 of us, headed to the pumpkin patch.

We took the wagon for Kayden to ride in, but instead Easton wanted to ride and Kayden wasn't a fan of sharing so mom carried him and Easton rode. Hahahaha Inside we played on the tractor, went on a hay ride, petted the animals, rode the ponies and picked out pumpkins! We were exhausted by the end and both boys slept the whole way home! Can't wait to go again next year!

I don't wanna share with Easton

 A long day for us, but we had fun!!!

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!!!
