Busy, Busy, Busy

Sorry it has been so long since my last post, life is extremely busy for us right now, I know, no excuses! We have been doing great, I am currently working 16 hours a week and staying home with the kids the other 3 days, I love being at home with them. Caden keeps me on my toes constantly. He has been learning lots of new words...words that I am not to fond of and believe it or not he has gotten most of them from Disney Movies. He really likes the word "STUPID" and that is in every Disney movie - how do you stop him from saying it when he hears it everyday. He has really gotten into "pretend play" and likes to go on bear hunts with his cousins Cole and Hunter. We usually have to pretend that Cole and Hunter are hear with us:) Caden can count to 10 and knows most of his ABC's. Rod has been working on his numbers with him and he knows the shape of the 1 and 2. He is completely potty trained now which I totally love. Once in a while we still have accidents but for the most part he is really good and loves to show off what he has done in the toilet...he wants everyone to see it:) So...if you are ever at our house when he has to go "number 2" just be prepared you are going to have to look at it! He has a birthday in a week and will be 3 years old - although he wants to be 4 like Cole. Here is a picture of him I took today at nap time, he fell asleep with his goggles on reading his book - he told me they were his reading glasses - I just laughed at him.


Lainey is doing really well - she is smiling all the time now and even has started making cooing sounds, I just love that. She loves the airplane mobile that we hung in her crib and likes to just stare it. I couldn't find Caden yesterday so I went into Lainey's room and caught him lying next to her in the crib looking at the airplanes - there is no relaxing! She is 10 weeks old now, we have an appt in a few weeks so then I can find out what she weighs.


Rod and I are both doing well - Rod is working a lot lately trying to make up for my hours getting cut at work. We will have our 4 year anniversary on Thursday, October 1st - I can't believe how fast the years have gone. Rod is taking a hunting trip with my brother in law Riley and they will be gone from October 8th through the 14th. Let's just say that when he comes back I am going to need some much needed time to myself! I do hope that he gets something as he has never shot an elk or deer - plus we need meat in our freezer. They will have a great time. The way that he has been packing already and talking with Riley on the phone you would think they are going on a month long excursion:) Men and there hobbies!

I also need to apologize to my fellow readers, especially my cousin Neil because in my last post I said that I would be putting pictures of Labor Day Weekend at Warm Lake...well I put them on my Facebook so I didn't put them on my blog...sorry Neil.

We were in Cottonwood a couple weekends ago for Rod and Riley to go spotting for Elk and deer and Neil politely mentioned to me that I did do what I said I was going to do:) I will try to be better.

My next post will be of Caden's birthday party this weekend so I promise to do that!
Have a great week everyone.
