playing

the picture explains it!

Sweet and Innocent

Jaden was 16 months old a couple days ago when this picture was taken.  We have been having so much fun playing together after school lately, since I doesn't have volleyball anymore.  My varsity volleyball team went to state this year, for the first time in school history.  They made it to the semifinals, so they were the top 4 in class 3A.  It was really exciting, but I was gone for 2 days and 1 night, and Jaden decided to be really mad at me when I got back.  He threw lots of fits, but then the next day he was fine, it was such a terrible 2 moment, even know he isn't 2 yet.  

I'm a Zebra!

I am finally adding Jaden's Halloween pictures.  Sorry it took so long.  He is the cutest zebra I have ever seen.  His tail was adorable!

John and Sarah

Great guesses we do look like Bill and Hillary, but we are actually Sarah Palin and John McCain.... good job Mallory's mom! :)  Look for pictures of Jaden as a zebra soon, we had a really fun halloween, then we went to MN to visit grandma sandy and grandpa marty. 

My Friends and Halloween

On Saturday my friend Caitlin was in Nevada visiting my other friend Abby. We had a lot of fun playing. This is a picture of Caitlin and me looking outside at a creeping catapiller.

Then mommy and daddy went to a Trivia Night and dressed up for Halloween. Can you tell who they are?

Fall is here....

It has been forever since I have posted.  From starting school and volleyball I haven't had a chance to upload pictures at the office, so I finally brought the cord to school.  Jaden is getting so big and so smart, he is such a delight to be around.  Other big news at our house, is that we bought a house!  We are super excited, we move in the weekend before Thanksgiving, it will be such a nice holiday present for us to be settled in a  house of our own.  It is beautiful by the way too.  I will add pictures when we move in!

Here is Jaden in his jammies, playing in his room.  He loves to play and read books.  We will frequently look in the back when we are in the car and he always has his nose in a book.  

Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Marty came to visit a few weeks ago and we went to the pumpkin patch.  We had so much fun Jaden cried when we had to go home.  This is Jaden playing with the pumpkins, he thought the small ones were balls, and he would say, "ba" and then throw it.  Thankfully they didn't explode!
Playing in the leaves, I taught him to throw them up in teh air... boy that is fun!
Jaden loves baths, and reading his farmer bath book.  He will say "tractor" when we read that book.  He also loves throwing the bath letters over the edge of the tub and laughing at mommy getting wet.  

summer time

This is me playing in Grandma Sandy's flowers. My mom and I went to visit for 3 days the second weekend of August. We had so much fun!
This is me playing in Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Marty's pool, so refreshing!
