November

So its been a while but better late then never.  I am so thankful for the life that I have and I wouldn't change it even on my most frustrating days. I love my boys so much and am grateful to be their mother.  Life with two kids can be challenging especially when you try to divide your attention. Lately I have been feeling like I cant do it all. I know that I need to let stuff go and just play with the boys. I would hate to look back and wish I would have played more rather then worrying about vacuuming or cleaning. Being a stay at home mom is such a challenging job. I find myself always doing something for someone else and I have learned to be selfless. Im grateful that my heavenly father gave me the opportunity to be a mother.  I still cant believe that I have two perfect little boys. I love my life and say it several times a day because I'm in such shock that it happened to ME! ok enough about me and onto the boys....


Kaden is talking like crazy. He tells us everything that wants, needs, and does not like. He helps calm his brother "CHUBBS" down. yes i said CHUBBS because that is now kadens nick name for his little bro. He has such a tender love for maddox and I'm grateful they will be so close growing up.

Some things kaden knows and does right now are...

counting to ten

saying most of the ABC'

colors

singing songs

building towers
helping wipe Maddox(after mommy has done it of course)
sounds of animals
loves the WII
reading books
saying prayers(for everyone he knows and includes their names each time)
I have to say that this age is hard because of the tantrums and fits that go on constantly but, every night that Kaden bows his head to say a prayer and blesses everyone we know makes up for the bad behavior.

Maddox is growing so much. Its so crazy how different each child can be. Maddox is five months and weighing TWENTY pounds and Kaden is twenty four pounds and two years old.  Poor Kaden is looking like runt compared to Maddox. Some of the things Maddox enjoys and does lately are....
playing in the exersaucer
trying to roll
eating baby food
chewing on everything
baby Einsteins
watching his brother play
talking and babbling to Kaden
