Simple Joy's in Life

I think I get too hung up on posting with pictures. But there is so many cute things that the kids do to not mention.

Macey:
-She kiss's almost anything, tv, toys, stuff animals, she likes it she'll kiss it.
-Anytime music comes on Macey starts dancing like dropping her butt to the ground its so cute.
-She's starting to like Caden more, occasionally we'll catch her resting her head on him or hugging him.
-She does this smile and quints her whole face.
-She's starting to recognize and trying to communicate more. You can ask her where, mom, dad, duke and caden are and she'll look at them when I ask. She pretty much says "more" and "hi". She knows where her nose is.
-Basically she's becoming so much happier then she's ever been and becoming this silly little girl I love to watch.

Caden:
-He is just the sweetest thing. We took Caden to the mall tonight and when we got there I said Caden lets go see Santa and you can tell him what you want for Christmas and he replies "No, I'm okay I have enough presents." I was flabbergasted and asked again to get the same reply.
-He keeps begging to go on the Polar Express because he is OBSESSED with that movie year after year. He wants to go to the North Pole and get hot chocolate. He begs to go on it. Its so expensive and I dont think it will live up to all the hype he thinks it will
-Caden was trying to do some break dancing move that this kid at school did. I asked what he was doing and he replies "I'm trying to do this totally awesome thing Zander did at school it was awesome!"


These kids are just at such a fun stage right now. There are my happiness and
I love I get to stay home with them and witness these amazing moments. These are my BIG moments of joy and I can only hope for so many more with them.

Sledding

We have gotten quite a bit of snow. Which I love. So we bundled the kids,bought some sleds and took them to a nearby park.

WE had to coherce Caden a little, after awhile he loved it. I was a forgetful mom that day and forgot my gloves and his. 2 out of 4 isnt bad right?

We bought Macey a infant tobogan and she was in HEAVEN. We strap in her and one us stays at the top and ones at bottom. She was smiling non-stop.

They are so stinkin' cute!

Grandma comes to town

Eric's mom Connie came to town and we had a blast. We shopped and shopped. Drove her around Park City. She spoiled our kids like there was no tommorrow. And this time I think Caden caught on.

Connie wanted to have an early birthday party for him since his birthday is this week. She rented a hotel room with a waterpark. He had a blast and so did Macey she is a little fish. While here she bought Caden this awesome all terrain tricycle. He loves it and drove it up and down the hallway of the hotel.

And then when we came back to the house it had snowed a ton and grandma helped shovel and Caden bossed her to shovel more so he could ride his tricycle. Poor Connie shoveled on vacation, what a trooper.

Tried to get a good picture of her in her swimsuit but didnt happen.



No time for photo ops let's swim

Caden's awesome birthday cake

Thanks Connie for coming we had a blast and can't wait to see you again!

Pumpkin Patch with Emily and Co.

We got and invitation from Emily and Co. to come up north and check another pumpkin patch. Of course. All the kiddos. Caden was in especially good spirits that day.




Figured out the best trick to get them to look. Figures Caden's looking away. Aren't they cute?

Macey in obligatory Halloween outfit with accompanied headband.

Tractor Ride

Macey and her homeless daddy(I kid, I think he looks a little homeless when he grows out his facial hair)

Mega Carrots

Got to go out and pick our own pumpkin and then they cut if off for you.Very exciting.

Pumpkin Prize

The boys with their Pumpkins

They had all these slides and Macey was in HEAVEN!

She even got brave and went down by herself a bunch. Sometimes she accidently would turn around half way through and be laughing the whole time.

Another Cow train, a little bit bigger so we thought Brady(7) could hold her. Lets just say it took off flying and when she came back she had sucken so low we couldnt see her.

Corn Cannon. Who doesnt love that? And they had a Corn slingshot that was awesome.

Brady firing the corn cannon he was the only of the little ones to do it.

Tire bull

Big, Big slide. Had to climb up a rope wall to go down.

Mega, Mega slide. Caden wasn't scared at all which was great. But when I went I was super nervous.

Seriously it was high up, when Eric came down before his boots made it so loud everyone was laughing when this grown man came out of it.

We had so much fun and I should have taken more pictures but I get distracted. Oh well. Thanks Emily we had a blast!

Pumpkin Carving

It amazing how you can pupmkin's ahead of time and they dont mold. In Georgia they molded within a day or two. Caden was super eager and we did it the Wednesday before and they held strong probably for a week and half.





Macey was a cheeser that night. She is getting so skinny now that she is walking and doesnt eat a ton.

Caden and Me hands filled with pumpkin guts.

Dad got serious and pulled Dremel Tool for his. My mom was here but had to leave to go babysit grandkids.




Eric and Caden with Caden's "Goomba" Pumpkin. If your not familiar he is one of the bad brown mushroom guys from Super Mario.

Eric takes it very seriously.

I made Macey a Kitty of course.

My mom's pumpkin and cue Camera dying........

now. Lame. Should have been more prepared.
