At 10 months, Kaden:

• loves to move around the house with some kind of object in his mouth
• points to things he wants
• loves going outside
• loves to be around others
• hates to have his nose wiped (pretty much been like this his whole life)
• eats ALOT

K & K's new ride

Kendall and Kaden received an awesome early Christmas present from Grandma and Grandpa. Kendall was a bit apprehensive and Kaden was all over it. Oh the make/female differences start so very young! They will love to ride this to the park. Thanks for the great gift!

Spooning with Dora

Ahhh...Dora's always there when you need her!

Multi-taking at the age of 2

We were driving home and Kaden really wanted his bottle. I was holding it for him as I was driving (not the easiest task) when all of a sudden I felt Kendall's hand on the bottle. She was taking over for me without even being asked...all the while watching her movie on the DVD player. I don't even think she took her eyes of the screen. What a fabulous little child! I couldn't resist snapping a photo.

Dance Like No One is Watching

I love these two!!!

It is so much fun to be their mom!

Our Little Raga Muffins

These two are so cute when they play together. The other day they were laughing and interacting so well with each other for a good 10 minutes. It was so cute!

Kaden Eating

Kaden has always been the cutest little eater. He's facial expressions are hilarious. He is quite expressive when he tries something new or when the texture is different. He also makes the cutest noises when he eats..."mmmmm" over and over again. It is so fun to watch him chew his food. He also will stare at the item first to analysis it before he will open his mouth. And there is no over feeding this child...when he's done, you know it! He turns his head and if you try to sneak something in his mouth, he will spit it out. Such a funny little baby!

Bowling Date Night

Shane and I love to get people together and go out on the town. This time we went to Red Robin for dinner, then bowling, and then our house for dessert. We had a blast! One great thing about where we live...our friends!

Hot off the press...

Tonight, Kaden was gaining lots of confidence in the walking department. He was walking on his own all over the place. He would go from the couch to the piano, to his toys, then towards the T.V. It was so cute to see his face. He was so excited. He's still a bit wobble, but he'll have it mastered in no time. It's a good thing...he's getting a bit to heavy to be carried around these days.

This video is the best I could get for now. I'll try to get more tomorrow. But, for now, ENJOY!

Guitar Man

If we can just get him to drop the pacifier maybe he would sing along with his guitar playin'.
Ain't he handsome?

Gymnastics

We found a new gymnastic place in town and had to go check it out. The kids had a blast. There was so much to do. Kendall and Kaden were all over the place.

SYTYCD Parties

I decided to have weekly parties for this season of SYTYCD. Every Tuesday night a bunch of ladies would gather together and watch the show. It was so fun! Until next season!

Tiff 'n Kids

For the past 3 months, we have had the best babysiter ever. She has been home from BYU-I for the semester and we are so glad! It has been great having her watch our children. She plays with them and even does crafts! I usually leave some sort of activity for her to do with Kendall while Kaden is sleep. I love to see the final projects when I return.

All in all we are going to miss her!!! I was really hoping that I'd find someone for her to marry so she'd stay around...but that didn't happen!
