It’s been awhile since I have updated. I have never really been that good at “journaling”. So it’s time for a massive up date.

The highlights of November were my Mom and Caiden’s “cookie” came out for a visit. It was the first time she has been out here since we moved in August.  It was fun to have her here with us. We were able to do touristy things. We went to the Aquarium, the zoo, shopping, ate good BBQ, and spent lots of time together.

As a family we were able to go to Utah. We were able to have Thanksgiving with Hailey and Jeff and Charlie. It was nice to be able to catch up with family and I never that I would say this but it was nice to be back in Utah. Barbara and Dennis got married while we were there it was a beautiful wedding. It was great to be able to there for them on that special day.

December felt like a very long month. Trevor was asked by PWC to work in Little Rock for 4 weeks and that started the Monday we returned from Utah.  So Monday through Friday Caiden and I missed Trevor! It made me enjoy the weekends even more. I tried to get all of the house work and shopping done by Friday so that we could just have fun. Trevor finished up in Little Rock and we went to spend Christmas in New Jersey. Caiden was good on the plane but he did like to do a little happy scream to let people now he was there. Silly boy. Christmas was wonderful it was the first time in 3 or 4 years that my whole family was together. That said there were a lot of pictures taken.

The New Year as started off wonderfully for our family, we have made goals to help ourselves physically and spiritually. Trevor takes off for work each morning around 8am and gets home pretty late some days. So our time as a family is in the morning time. I read the Book of Mormon to Trevor and Caiden. Just before Trevor leaves we say a family prayer. It has really brought the spirit into our home. I want to continue this so that Caiden will always remember that we read and prayed together as a family.

So far February has been fabulous!!! I honestly can’t complain one bit. We are so very blessed! That is all I can say for now.

 

Here are some little things about Caiden

  • he is teething so he chews on everything that he shouldn’t for example our wood TV stand. We had to put a towel down so he would stop!
  • He has the army crawl down he get everywhere.
  • He swishes his spit around his mouth. Sounds gross but it makes me laugh
  • He loves to watch videos of himself.
  • We went to the zoo and I was changing a poopy diaper in the trunk of the car and he grabbed a handful of it. Thank goodness I had help with me.
  • As soon as Trevor walks in the door he will fuss until his Daddy picks him up.
  • Loves to FaceTime with Pop-Pop and Cookie that always puts him in a good mood
  • He still HATES being in a car set. He will cry if he is in one longer than 20 minutes.
  • One day we has not in the best mood and I put him on the ground instead of playing with his toys he held on to my leg for five minutes
  • He loves the bath tub. He is a water baby. A bath will usually always make him happy
  • He likes to walk around the apartment if we hold his hands. He can move a little bit on his own if he is holding on the couch
