New haircut & Dairy Days

About two weeks ago Caden got all of his beautiful curly hair cut off :( But with extremely hot weather soon approaching it is just much easier to keep it short...

We think he looks absolutely adorable though and it makes him look like he is about 5!!

This past weekend we went to Dairy Days in Basehor KS with nana and we met up with Aunt Cori, Uncle Mark, Madi and Cameron. Ethan was sleeping most of the time but Caden had a blast in the bounce house, riding his very first pony ride and he got a sword balloon from a clown (even though it's pink)

Long time....

I will update more in a few days, just wanted to post some videos of the boys... the first one is Caden singing his ABC's and twinkle twinke


This one is of Ethan and me trying to get him to laugh, just ignore me in the background :)




More to come in a day or two...

Spring pictures!

Just wanted to share some pictures of the boys we had done. They are cadens 3 year pictures and ethans 3 month pictures (even though he was actually almost 4 months when they were done). Enjoy!!

So it's been a while...

So I know it's been like over 2 months since my last update but it's hard to find time to sit down and do this when you have a VERY demanding 3 year old, a 4 month old and a full time job! :) but I have some time today so let me see what's been going on...the boys are getting SO big! Caden just turned 3 in February and we had a great time at his birthday at Monkey Bizness
BIG NEWS!!! Caden has started potty training and he is doing awesome!! This is only the 3rd day and he has had no accidents yet!! yay!! He is getting so big! I can't believe how the time passes. Ethan has turned into quite the chunky monkey!! He just had his 4 month check up today and he was 16 lbs 5 oz and a little over 24 inches long!! He has started smiling and laughing and just getting to that really sweet cute baby stage...
We did recently have the boys pictures taken together and they turned out adorable! As soon was we get those back I will be sure to post them!! I will try to get better about updating! I promise next time it won't be 2 months before I update again!!

Ethan- one month old!!

These are some pictures of Ethan that were taken for his one month pictures. We are desperately trying to get a picture of Caden and Ethan together, but Caden does not like to sit still. Hopefully we'll get one on Christmas. Anyway... enjoy!!

Thanksgiving and more!!

We had a great thanksgiving this year! Obviously, our first one with both of our boys. Caden of course loves thanksgiving because he loves to eat! Ethans thanksgiving consisted of a bottle, so hopefully next years will be better! :) We spent the early part of the day with inlaws (pat's parents and his brother). We had a great time. Caden doesn't get to see his Grandma and Grandpa very often so he always enjoys going over there and playing with all of the toys they have for them! Then that night we went over to Aunt Cori's house to have dinner with everyone on my side of the family (about 18 people in all!!). Nana slaved all day making a WONDERFUL meal and we had a great time just sitting around and visiting with each other. We tried desperately to get a picture of the grandkids but this is the best we got...In order, we have Caden, Sammy, Madi, Cameron and at the top of the couch is Ethan :) You try getting 5 kids ages 7 and under to sit still and take a picture!! Anyway, it was a long and exhausting day and we were glad to get home and get the kids to bed but we all had a great time.


Just this past week we took the kids to see Santa! Caden loves Santa and this was really the first year where he kind of understand who Santa is and he goes around all the time saying "ho ho ho merry christmas!" He has never been afraid to sit on Santas lap. This obviously was Ethans first year to see Santa. They both did a great job and we got a great picture out of it...

Bath Time!

After visiting the doctor on Friday, we were given the OK to give Ethan his first real bath! He was not impressed! Even though he was incredibly mad, he looked so darn cute! We just had to take some pictures!


Ethan is doing well. At his last appointment he was back up to 8 lbs 2 oz, so almost back to his birthweight. He is just growing more and more every day. These are just some other random pictures taken since he's been home...


Caden is loving being a big brother and he just wants to kiss on his little brother all day long!! Everytime he gives him a kiss, he smiles real big and says " love my broter" and that's not brother, it's broter without the H. :) So cute. This is the closest picture I've gotten with the 2 of them together. Hopefully I'll get a better one soon.
