A Day of Fun with Kaden

Today we moved Gab and our friend Ants and his girlfriend Myra took Kaden to a Special Olympics fundraiser. It is called Polar Plung, and it was up in Oceanside. Here are some funny Kadenism of the day...

*Ants bought some food and they all sat down, Ants came back from the bathroom and Kaden had stolen some Myra's food and...

Ant's said "your steeling all of Myra's food, I'm gonna steal a nugget"
Kaden said "No"
Ants said "This isn't your food, did you buy this food"
Kaden said "Ants it is time for you to stop talking"


*Kaden went running all over the Aquarium saying "This is Amazing"


*They were picking up toys on the sand and Myra picked up a green toy and she asked if it was Kaden's. He said no and then "You know we are going to have to return it"...Myra was just saying he was totally be honest. Really cute


*It was super cute, when Myra and Ants were getting ready to leave...

I said "you know Ants you are going to have to steal Kaden once in a while, He loves hanging out with you"
Ants said "anytime".
Kaden said "I don't want them to go, they need to steal me now"

He grab both of their hands and wouldn't let go. It is so nice to have great friends that love you kids. =) I will post picture of today for you soon...They are compliments of Myra and Ants



At the end of the day Myra and Ants came back to our house to see Kaleb and here are some cute pictures of Myra and Kaleb...

Kaleb has a new bath seat

Tonight was Kaleb's first night with his new bath seat. He loves it and so does Kaden. Kaden hates Kaleb's old baby green tub, it is too big to fit inside our tub, it leaves him next to no room and so this is way better. I just thought I would share some pictures...

His New Tub/Seat

Sweet lil Face

Kaleb sucking on a Whale

Our little Thief

Today Auntie Monica came over to hang a few minutes before class and Kaden gets so excited to show off his "skills". Kaden went to him room and put on a beanie, he came running out and said "I'm Matt " So this is a character on this show. In the show John would break into a house and Matt would record it and show it to the owners to show the owners how easy it would be for robbers to break in and at the end of the show they would put in this huge surveillance equipment and stuff like that to protect their house. Kaden loved this show, he has not seen it in I don't know 6 or 7 months, maybe longer. The last 2 weeks he has remembered it and wants to be John, but he has the characters mixed up. He wants to rob the house and have us fix it up. So he is now running all over the house and putting things all over the floor and robbing our house. He said he loves when people get to learn how to protect their things. I have no idea what he is thinking.

What Language??? Spanish, English or Japanese

Tonight for dinner I made Chinese food. We (Gab, and us) were eating when Corey said something to me and I totally missed it 3 times with Gab looked at me and repeated it. I totally got it right away and I said I was sorry for being such a dork. Well Kaden couldn't understand why I didn't get it and...
He said "she doesn't understand Spanish, she can't hear it"
Gab said "she can hear Spanish and besides we were talking to her in English"
Kaden said "no you don't understand, (his hands are wide open like he is telling this elaborate story) she can't hear Spanish, she can only hear English"
Gab said " She can hear different languages but she can't understand Spanish or other languages, she doesn't speak them"

So this went on for about 5 mins, and then...

Gab said "Kaden the only language you can't hear is sign language, there are tons of languages Japanese and..."
Kaden said "what is Japanese"??
Gab said the best Japanese she could do, and I'm telling you it was not good.
Kaden said "Ding dong door bell long".
We all just looked down at the table and tried not to laugh. I just don't know what to do with this kid. I think I will keep him. =)

Our Queen!

As I was giving the boys their baths we were talking to their grandparents on speakerphone. Everyone was having a fun talking when mom was telling me that her mouth was still numb from her dentist appointment today. She had told us what work she had done and she mentioned a crown. Well Kaden asked what gramma was doing with a crown, when she was mentioning that grandpa called her his queen. It was so cute...

Kaden said "why is gramma now a queen"??
I said "because she had her tooth worked on and they put a crown on it"
Kaden said "what so special about that tooth"?
I said "It's just a special tooth"
Kaden said "So is gramma is a queen, is grampa a king"?
I said " I guess so, in their house"
Kaden said "can I talk to grampa"?
Gramma said "Yes"
Grampa said "Hello"
Kaden said "Why do you call Gramma your queen, or her tooth"?
Grampa said "Because she is to me".

Later on before they hung up

Gramma said "Well goodnight little Prince"
Kaden said "Goodnight my Queen"

Maybe there are ovals in there...Warning a lil personal.

Tonight right before bath the funniest thing happened. Kaden stuck his foot into the water and I asked him if he had to go to the bathroom first, he shook his head yes and said "I gotta go right now". So he got his foot out of the tub and started to go...
I asked him "Kaden why do you squeeze your balls so hard, doesn't that hurt"?
Kaden said "There are balls in there"????

Did I really just ask my son if his "balls"were hurting, and now he is asking if there are balls by his parts...I believe I am expecting the "Mother of the Year" plaque any day now.
I said " Oh, um no???"
Kaden "Oh, ok well maybe there are ovals in there".

Much better, I had no recovery I just looked away and called his dad. So where do you think I should hang the plaque????

Photo Shoot Kaden is 4.5 and and Kaleb is 5 months

Today was a slow day and both boys were in somewhat of a good mood so I thought why not have a photo shoot. Well here is the fruit of my labor. I hope you like...

Dear Jesus

We were all (Gab, Kaden, Kaleb, Corey and I) eating dinner and Kaden was having a really hard time eating his rice. He didn't want it and he really wouldn't eat anything else, he was just so upset about the rice. This reminded me we were watching a special on the Dugger family( they went to El Salvador). We watched it last night and I really wanted Kaden to understand that there are all different kinds of people and they live all around the world, and some people don't have a lot of money and they don't hardly have any food. So when today's meal came up and he didn't want to eat I reminded him how people would love to have this food and how God has blessed us.

Kaden said "why don't their mommy or daddy go and buy them food"?
Mom said " They try and sometimes they don't have the money... sometimes it is really hard and they go with out food and water. God has really blessed us with the things we have. We need to appreciate everything God gives us and say thank you to him".

We went on explaining how blessed we are and that we are able to have food everyday and they might only get one meal a day. Kaden then looked up at me and asked if we could pray for them and I in return said yes. So we all bowed our heads and he said the most special prayer, I seriously teared up...

Kaden's Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank you for all the people that don't have food...please be with them, be with them and give them food. Amen
Jesus I love you please give them food and water. Give them money so the have food and they can go to shops. Please make them healthy and don't waste their food help them to eat all of it...Thank you Jesus. the Lord is nice to you. Amen

I really couldn't believe this kid. It was so sincere and so sweet. I'm such a proud mommy, everything that we go through with our kids the tough times, the long hours the days they just wont listen, no matter the situation moments like that make is all worth it. I Love being a mom. =)

You Got Mail

Yesterday a letter came to Kaden we opened it this morning. I gave it to Kaden and he opened it up. He found his letter to us from him. I guess that Kaden's preschool mailed letters that they had colored and written to their parents . They did this to learn how mail works. So Corey asked Kaden how he mailed his letter and he said...

Kaden said "OK, so this is how it went (he put his hands in the air tell his story)...so we wrote you guys a letter, and then we walked it over to the post office. Then the mail guy got the letter and walked it around and then brought it to his truck and drove around and around. Then he brought it to our house".

Corey and I told him how proud we were of him and how big he is. That we loved his letter so much, and that we loved we loved him. Kaden said that he thought mailing stuff was pretty cool. Then he asked if that is how Gramma and Grampa mail things to him and we said yes, he thought it was the coolest thing ever. I love how big he is getting.

Happy Valentine's DAY

Today started like any other day, I woke up fed Kaleb and we kinda all sat around for a bit when I yelled out we should go to the snow. We all just sat there for a while and just kept doing our normal everyday things when they jumped on board. It was kind of an odd thing to do today, but why not. Kaleb was down for a nap and Gab had to run home to get snow stuff. We all got ready and away we went. It is so strange to think an hour drive we can go to the desert, the snow and to the beach...what a great place we live in. We had a great trip, I was surprised how long us San Diegans lasted. Kaleb fell asleep and slept on the snow for a while and we built snowmen. Yup two, a Kaden size and a daddy size. I hope you like the pictures.

NEMO

This morning was an interesting morning, I woke up and Gab and Kaden were in a healthy debate about Marlin and Dory, who got stung by the jellyfish and who didn't this is how it went...

Gab said "Kaden Marlin can't get stung he lives in an Anemone"
Kaden said "Yes they both got stung....I'm telling you"
Gab said "No, Kaden the Anemone stops him from getting stung, Dory gets stung"

The sad thing they both have no idea how this all started and the truth is they both do get stung it is that the Anemone prevents him for getting to badly hurt by the stung. ANYWAYS, here is the rest...

Kaden said " AUNTIE, I'm telling you I'M RIGHT"
Gab said "No Kaden I'm right...the Anemone helps him not to get hurt, he doesn't get stung"

it went back and forth FOREVER, and then

Kaden said "Ok Auntie, lets just watch Nemo and see who is right...Even though I know I am"
Gab said "OK lets do it"

They watched the movie and believe it or not it didn't help, they both continue to fight over who was right. It was pretty funny

New Friend

Today we (Monica, the boys and I) were shopping and we went to party city to get some stuff, when I found the cutest little giraffe, Wilson. Kaleb has just loves it. I couldn't believe how fast he fell in love with it. He was rubbing it on his face and snuggling with it. Here are some pictures.

Busy

Man today has been a busy day and it is only 10am. I got up at 6:30 and gab reminded me that I needed to make 2 brownie cake things for some PLNU students, and the worse part I didn't make them last night so Corey could take them this morning so they can be delivered. So now I have to take the boys in the rain to deliver them...FUN...I also decided to bake Corey Valentines gift. I (we) got him a book type frame that on one side you put a picture and the other side you put clay for hand prints and then you can open or close it. So this morning I put the clay in and stamped the boys hands and baked it....they are going to paint it later today when it is time, I hope he likes it. =) So now we are off to PLNU and we hope everything goes well the rest of the day.

I Just Need It

We went on a family walk and Kaden rode his bike, well on the last lap I pushed Kaden up this little hill. He smashed into Corey and I guess his hand got hurt, well when we got home Kaden decided that he "needed" a ice cream. I was putting his bike away when he came up to me asking over and over if he could have the pants (it is a sponge bob square pant push-up ice cream thingy) ice cream. I told him no and that daddy or I would kiss his fingers for him, well that wasn't good enough...

Kaden said "PLEASE MOM, I really need it"
I said "no, you are fine. If you want we can kiss it for you. You will be ok"
Kaden said "Mom, you don't understand I need it. My finger will blow up and make bubbles if I don't get it. "
I said "Kaden your finger will be just fine, I'm not giving you any ice cream, besides it is way to cold, how about a raisin?" (also this ice cream has to over a year old...that can't be good)
Kaden said "MOM, that wont work...PLEASE nothing else will work. I have to have the pants ice cream".

This went on 3 time in the same cycle. Over and over again. The only thing that worked is a strawberry, I have no idea how we got in this mess. Well what are you gonna do. =)

Doctor-narian

Corey went to go pick Kaden up from school and he was playing in doctor section in the classroom, and the teacher asked Kaden...
teacher said "what do you want to be when you grow up"
Kaden said "I wanna be an astronaut, police officer, fire fighter, doctor-narian, and a daddy"
Daddy said "what is a doctor-naian"?
Kaden said "they fix animals"

Tib-Bits of Tonight

Bath Time

well the boys have a new routine now that Kaleb likes taking his baths (before I would give Kaden a quick shower and give Kaleb a quick bath). It's dinner, baths, stories and Kaleb eats another bottle and then bed. Well bath time has been super cute I put Kaleb in his tiny green bath tub and Kaden sit in our regular one and they talk to each other and play. I just love seeing the boys bond. I really thought their age difference was going to be an issue for a long time. Anyways, I have a couple of pictures to show ya...I hope you like them.





Noah

Kaden was playing with his blocks and Corey told him he need to put them away and get ready for bed, well...
Kaden got upset and said "NO DAD, I need to build Noah's Ark"
Dad said "we really need to clean up, it's bed time buddy"
Kaden said "I really need to build dad, I gotta do it"
Dad said "Ok, Kaden answer me one question...how many animals did Moses bring on the ark???"
Kaden said "Dad, Moses didn't bring any animals on the ark, Noah is the one that built the ark and he brought all the animals on it".
Dad said "I know I'm just checking, ok lets build the ark and then we can go to bed".

The cutest part was Kaden brought out his bible and said he needed to look at his bible to build the ark, because the bible has great pictures to show him how to build it...I have a smart kid, he gets his brains from his mama = }

The picture is not the one of Noah's Ark, this master pieces is daddy's work




Bed Bugs

I was talking on the phone with gramma and....
she said to Kaleb "night night, don't let the bed bugs bite"
Kaden got really upset and said "No, there aren't any bugs and they don't bite"
Gramma said "you can hit them with your shoe, till"
Kaden cut her off and said "No, gramma we don't wear shoes at night to bed"
Gramma said "you don't wear shoes because you threw them at the bugs"

Kaden just pondered it and let it go.



Prayer

Every night we pray and Kaden choses who is going to pray that night...well Gab was up to pray and at the very end she was praying for her job and for her to find a place to live and Kaden interrupted her and said "and for you to get married, thank you Lord Amen"... we all just busted up. This isn't one of our main family prayers, but it was sure cute.

Finally

Kaleb has been having a really hard time with the cereal thing. Well today is a new day he ate so well, unfortunately is was a really scrumptious mixture...peas, pears and cereal. YUM...well at least he ate it right. Kaleb ate a full bowl full....I am one proud Mama

Tow-Mater

Last night I was talking to mom and dad and mom was talking about her (uncle) I think Maynard and Kaden said "You know who they are mom, Mater like Tow-Mater...he was in cars" I replied "Oh, thanks honey I got it". It was just a funny moment

Fortune Cookie

Today after church a couple of us headed to Pei Wei. If you don't know, it is a Chinese restaurant that is a knock off of PF Chang's. It is very good. Anyhow we had delightful conversation and Kaden kept sneaking off to get more fortune cookies. I kept telling him to sit down and stop, that he needed to be patient and we would get it. Well that wasn't good enough. Kaden came back to the table and said "I don't like my fortunes, I need more cookies". Man isn't that convenient. Finally Kaden got one that stuck..."Need some adventure and enjoyment? Take a vacation"...Kaden yelled out "YES, I NEED a vacation".

Funny

A friend of mine has been playing with Photoshop and this is what he created...Well at least no one can say he is a baldy

Photo Shoot

Today I took some pics of Kaleb. All he wanted to do was roll over, and then when i tried to record him rolling over yup you guessed he wouldn't do it....Crazy kid. Hopefully I will catch on tape soon. Until then I hope you enjoy the pictures.

A Little Update

I know, I haven't written in a week almost and I just have been kind of busy. Kaleb is sleeping off and on good and bad. I really have no rhythm or reason for the reason he is sleeping so poor one minute and great the next. Kaleb is now not eating anything but formula, he has decided that he doesn't like peas, green beans or rice cereal. So I'm still putting cereal in his formula and call it a day. If you have any ideas to try they are definitely welcomed. Kaden has been sick. He got a really bad case of the (sorry lack of a better word) runs. His belly is killing him and it has been from Sunday on. I'm hoping he starts to feel better soon. Today he has gotten a little better, but I thought he was doing really well on Monday...all I can say is who knows, only time will tell. Your prayers are welcome here. = ] I hope I will have some more things coming soon ... sorry for the bland update.
