My BABY is 2! Where does the time go??? It was a good day, I was very sick all day so decided not to have anyone over because Kaden had quite the cough as well, and decided to just do a small family party on Sunday. He was loving his Elmo cake and put his hand in it before I could take a picture. Uncle Buddy made the cake special just for Kaden, and was he smiling and loving every minute of it. He loved all his toys and we are set to get all potty trained. What a wonderful gift, nothing makes me happier to see diapers and underwear. :) I love him so much, and I miss my little cuddly baby, but look forward to the growing little man that learns so fast, and tell me he loves me! Its bitter sweet, but none the less such a special boy, we are so grateful that he was given to us to watch over and love! Happy Birthday baby!

He stuck his hand in the cake, but Buddy did a wonderful job- thank you

He is loving Elmo, and you can see his red hand..... he just wanted to eat him
trying to blow out his candles
he did it... and made a wish!
So many toys, thank you so much everyone, this boy is spoiled!

Happy Halloween, my little man was the cutest lion alive! It was so much fun to see him "roarrrrr" at the people. He didnt like the makeup on his face as much and kept rubbing it, but he sure loved trick or treating and was so incredibly tired when we got back home. It was so much fun, and our ward is amazing and so enthusiastic about Trunk or Treating... it was a ball! Oh by the way, I found this costume on a rack for $4.99 and it was a 3T- and look how my 2 year old fit in it perfectly. What a great find! :)

The ZOO!

The Kimber families first annual Zoo trip down to Salt Lake, with me anyway. Tom's parents used to have a tradition to talk the kids down to the Zoo for the weekend, that tradition was lost for awhile, and now is resurrected! Steve and Kathy had us stay in a wonderfully cozy hotel room, more like a suite and we played games for hours, and ate well, woke up and spent a good part of the day at the zoo! It was awesome, and I look forward to this new tradition! I love the Kimber family!

Going PRIVATE

Ok, yes i made fun of others being so paranoid, but its time to be paranoid.... so please leave your email if you want to see our little updates because we are going private! Going private on Sunday! Thanks.

Playground fun time

Kaden loves the playground. We go often, and that kid has the cutest run ever when he sees the slide and he loves to swing. The swing set is perfect for him, I love the bucket seats for the toddlers. He makes so many friends and plays so nice and uses his manners, says please and thank you. Oh I wish it would stop raining so we can go back! He misses you grandma and grandpa anderson, we all miss you!

What a great Birthday!

Happy Birthday to me, I turned 23 years old yesterday and it was a great day, I started the day off shampooing carpets and cleaning, and doing laundry. But my whole day turned around when Erin and Buddy came over to celebrate. They made the best Navajo Tacos I have ever had, and a gorgeous cake, chocolate with my favorite cookies and cream flavored! AMAZING! We played rock band and had a great time. They got me a game and candy, everyone who knows me knows I LOVE MY CANDY and a i tunes gift card.. perfect! Tom my honey came home and surprised me, REALLY surprised me with a dozen roses and a NEW camera! If you didn't know, but my camera broke, or shall I say Kaden broke it. So this was a very much on my birthday list! I couldn't think my brother and sister in law enough on how amazing they are! My sister got me lotion from Bath and Body works.. I love Bath and Body Works, and my parents gave me money! AND... the best present of all goes too... KADEN, he PEED in the potty all by himself! YAY!!!!!!!!!

He peed in the potty, best gift ever!

Best cake ever!

Amber

Oh what a great weekend we had with Amber and Brady! I am just so honored to have a great friend like Amber! I met Amber while I was working at Nilson Homes and she and I just had too much in common to not be best friends! I love how upbeat and positive she is and how amazing she is at working her butt off at work and school, and juggling a 100 projects all at the same time! (I can relate so well) I am grateful for her fun and charming spirit that she brings with her in whatever she is doing. Oh the memories we have had and I am know there will be many more to come! I love you Amber! ... and Brady!

She and I at her Bridal Shower!!!

Amber and Tom in a serious conversation about the game!

She is thinking about why she has to have me as her partner for the game! haha

I was one of her bridesmaids at her beautiful wedding! I love this girl!

Amber and Brady! We love you guys! Thanks for always being so great!

POTTY TRAINING... maybe

Can you believe he is only 22 months old......YES! My baby will be 2 years old November 1st! I have been stressing on all the new changes that will be coming up, he will be sleeping in a big boy bed soon, bigger clothes, smarter toys, bigger shoes and POTTY TRAINING. I went looking for a potty and found one for cheap with my coupon (I love coupons). I set it up and was planning on setting it aside, but Kaden ran up to it and called it a potty so I thought what the heck lets see what he will do, so I put him on the potty and low and behold my little guy just loved sitting on it he stayed on there for 15 minutes and when I pulled him off he PEED in the toilet. He points to the potty and says "pee pee, poo poo" and points to his bum! Is he ready? Well we will sure find out and see if we can get this little guy potty trained by 2! How exciting!!!!!!!!!!

Labor Day Weekend

We had the opportunity to go to the cabin later this weekend, and the weather was beautiful Sunday and Monday. We had our good friends Justin, Camille and Lexi come with us and it was great, we played games went on rides and went fishing, and had the best food!!! Thanks guys for making it a perfect getaway! I miss the cabin already!



Tom planned our date night last week, we went to an Ogden Raptors games and it was so fun! I had so much fun watching Kaden yell and cheer! He loves every sport. He is such a cute boy, and he made quite a few friends at the game! Thanks honey for the wonderful date night and you got the tickets for free and that made it even better! :)

Hooper Horror

Kaden got up from his nap and we decided to head to Tomato Days and look around to have something to do, we took our time getting ready and slowly headed out the door, we were about half way there and all of a sudden I pulled off to the side to let the ambulances and firetrucks, and all these cop cars flew by me... I am thinking there is a car accident or something so I keep going to the Hooper City Park, and low and behold here are all the emergency vehicles and we watched the 2 life flight helicopters land. I quickly found someone to tell me what happened and people were leaving a lot of people crying. What a horrible accident, if you didn't see what happened on the News I attached a link and you can read on:

We hope that the little girl with a broken leg and the women with the head injury will be ok and all the others too. I just cant help but count our blessings and what a blessing nobody died!

BaCk To ScHoOl= COLLEGE STUDENTS

Back to school! This is Tom and I on our first day back to school. Tom has 3 classes left and he has a double bachelors and will move straight onto his master's and he is STILL a straight A student! You go Tom! And I am enjoying getting in the groove of things again! No worries working 2 jobs and going to school will soon be a thing in the past and I need to count my blessings to be living in this wonderful country that gives us so many opportunities and having our little boy bless us and we just love how he is learning too and he is so much fun. We are hanging in there! I am excited thinking of the eternal plan and trying to fulfill my potential to the fullest, and teaching my children to do the same... never putting limits on anyone! Thanks for all the support, I just know we can do it! Love you mom and dad.. miss you lots!

Mommy and Baby Boy..... loves to sit on my lap and take pictures!

Yes Tom might be crying... he was so sad to go back to school :)

Bee Stings OUCH

Oh dear now this is a good story to tell him when he gets older! :) Tom goes over to his best friends house to play volleyball once a week, and while the boys have a great time playing volleyball I have a great time letting the kids play together and hanging out with my best friend. Well, as we were sitting on the grass watching them play in the sand box Kaden picked up a toy car and was playing with it, all of a sudden I see about 3 or 4 bee's surround him very angry. Now I HATE BEE's so I was very scared myself because I had a previous terrifying experience. But I ran to him and picked him up and ran as fast as I could toward the house, while my friend saved her baby! From Kaden's screams I can tell he had gotten stung, and it was indeed painful. I found to my surprise he had been stung 3 times on his nose and once on the forehead and also on the palm of his hand. So we rush in the house trying anything we could think of... then we rushed to the store to get Benadryl and his face started to swell and I knew he was going to be sore for awhile. No respiratory problems thank goodness, and he quickly started smiling and having fun playing again shortly after he got stung, but his poor face and nose looked so painful for a few days! I didn't get any pictures of the worse day, so in these the swelling is down quite a bit but you get the idea! Poor Kaden!
