He's finally 5 and he's actually going to kindergarten! Can you believe my little boy is that old? I'll post some pics this weekend I'm just too tired right now!
So, Brady headed off to school on Monday with his daddy. He walked to class and that's all she wrote! Tony didn't cry and neither did Brady. He said he loved nap time and the bus was awesome!
Yesterday was cool too. For the first time ever Brady actually celebrated a birthday at school. We sent some gummy worms and stickers. I didn't think he's make it with cupcakes! So, he gets on the bus...and misses his stop. It was the first time to ride the bus to school and he didn't know where to go. Then my friend Hollie walked outside and saw him standing alone with no adult. She called Tony and he freaked out! Apparently, he was with a coach who stopped to help someone cross the street. Never fear...He made it to class and all is well. Tony talked to the bus driver this morning and she is going to make sure he gets off at the right stop from now on!
I can'tw ait for the weekend. I'll update you on my news in a few more days!
I know I just posted my vacation pics but I had time and wanted to add today's event! Kaden got his first haircut today and he did great! I've been putting it off for so long because I didn't want to loose his curls. But he was looking scraggly and Tony said it was time. I was so afraid he would cry and it would be a disaster. He did great. Brady went first so Kaden thought he needed to be a big boy too! He looks so grown up it makes me tear up every time I look at him!
Ok...it's been forever since I've blogged. But I have a freshbatch of pictures to make up for it! We just got back from vacation in Texas. It was a great trip! There were six of us...me and the boys, Teresa and Mackenzie and April Satcher. We had a busy six days. 15 hours there was trying with three kids, but none the less we made it alive. First day included lunch at my brother's restaurant and a trip downtown. Of course it never rains in Texas until we decide to take a trip there.
Brady and Mackenzie infront of the Alamo.
Of course every trip to San Antonio includes a trip to the famous battle ground. Kaden was asleep during this part of the trip. I'm sure he's really sad he missed it! Brady said it was boring and the fact that we were getting rained on didn't help. Teresa and April liked it though.
Texas police officers at the Alamo. They were acutally wearing real cowboy hats.
Next we took a boat trip down the river walk. We had to buy unbrella's while we were inline because it started raining really hard. But the show must go on and they still let us ride. We were soaked but it was still fun!
One of the many views of the riverwalk. This was after it stopped raining and we put our umbrellas away.
So now it's off to the beach. We went camping with my parents and spent Saturday at the beach. It was raining at first and really cloudy. But then God showed off and the sun came out. We all got a really good tan except April, She was burned pretty bad. The next few pictures are of our day at the beach.
I stole this idea from April and I just love it! The boys looked really cute with their names in the sand. Kaden had a blast at the beach. Last year when we went, he wasn't old enough to enjoy it. If you remember the pictures, he just slept the whole time. But not this year. He loved playing in the sand. He didn't care much for the water which is not in his character. He loves the water but I think he just didn't care for the waves.
Here the boys are with mom and Jim at the restaurant. Brady tried squid for the first time. He loved it until I told him he was eating Squidward.
This is the view from outside of the camper where we stayed. I could wake up tos this view everyday! I love camping at the beach.
And now for the grand fanale. Sea World! We love this place! Here the kids are with Shamu and a dolphin that I don't know her name. I thought Kaden would be scared like most kids his age of these kinds of things...but not my kid! He loved them! He kept sitting on Shamu's fin and just laughing! Then when it was time to move on he threw a fit! He wanted to hang out when them all day I guess.
Kaden and his best buddy Uncle PJ. They were best friends at Sea World. And boy and I glad! It gave me a much needed break from the little momma's boy he's become!
Brady and Mackenzie on the Shamu Express. They loved it but the lines were pretty long so we only got to ride it once.
Everyone loved the Shamu show...even Kaden who doesn't like to sit for very long. He clapped and yelled like all the other kids. He was having a blast until we got soaked in the splash zone. He didn't care too much for that part! It was nice though because it was really hot.
In all we had a great trip! It was nice to have friends with me the whole time. We spent a lot of time talking and I really feel like April, Teresa and I have gotten a lot closer! It was also nice having a friend for Brady to play with! It made it a lot less tiring for me since Tony wasn't there. I can't wait to go again next year!
Stay tuned...the first day of school is approaching as well as Brady's 5th birthday! I'll have lots more to blog in the near future! Until then...have a great end of you summer!

Kaden at the water park in Collierville.I'm a day late with this one but Happy 14 Month brithday Kaden! I've been going through a lot these past few weeks. Sorry I'm so late in blogging. Let's see...I lost my job last week so I'm staying home with the boys until I can find something else. I took my Praxis test on Saturday and I feel like I did really well. Hopefully that will lead to a teaching job this fall!
I'm really enjoying my time off with the boys! We've been haning out, cleaning, swimming and even going to VBS. By the way Brady loves going to school so much I might have to find him another VBS for next week!
I'm adding some pics to get you up to date.

Brady is the pony!
Brady won a trophy for playing TBall this year! It's his first trophy and he is so proud!
Kaden didn't get a trophy and of course he's mad about it!I apologize for being so behind on my blogging! Our computer hasn't been working for the past two weeks and it's killing me! I'm using a friends computer do I don't have any pics to post. But I will give you an update!
We went to the doctor for our 1 year and Brady's 5 year old check up! Of course there were 7 shots between the two so you can imagine the stress! Brady weighed 41 lbs...in the 75% and I can't remember the height but also in the 75%. She said it's ok that he's so skinny because it's better to be on that end of the spectrum then the latter!
Kaden was 25 lbs in the 50th % and I can't remember the height but in the 75% for that! The doctor said they boys might acutally be taller than Tony and of course Brady loved that!
Brady has been playing TBall for the past few weeks and loves it! Tony started softball last night and had a blast! Kaden...he's just along for the ride.
He calls everyone and everything "mama" That's his universal word for food...people...what ever works at the moment!
Other than that not much is going on!
I'll try and post again in a week or so! I hope to have some pics to add!
Kaden is pitching a fit about who knows what!
Brady and his fake smile.

Mommy...look what I can do!
No that's not a wine bottle! It's olive oil!Well, it's been a few week since my last post...and let me tell you it's been a busy one. I'll just update you on a few things...Brady started Tball yesterday. He loves it! He said he hit one over the fence but you know how men tell stories!
Kaden is walking like crazy. He swings his right arm like it really helps him go faster. He's always yelling for "mama" that includes Tony too. He's developed separation anxiety. He cries every time I walk away from him. It's getting a little old. But I'll let him do it because He's my little "baba."
I'll post a few pics from the past couple of weeks...enjoy.
