Little Kicker!!!

2009-11-07T22:35:00.000-08:00

This is what I am talking about! I get kicked 24/7 usually at night when I am trying to sleep :) It freaks Daniel out when all of a sudden he sees my belly doing this, he says it's an alien...I told him it's your spawn :) Can't wait to meet this little kicker!!!

25 Weeks Already!?!

2009-10-24T16:36:00.000-07:00

I can't believe I am 25 weeks already, crazy!!!! I went to the doctors last week and I am measuring 3 weeks ahead which makes sense now why I am so big :) I can't wait till January!!

It's true........

2009-09-18T22:22:00.000-07:00

So it's true what they say you pop out sooner with each baby :) Here is 20 weeks!!! And by the way I went to the doctor and Jackson is still Jackson :) And I also found out that he will most likely be born on January 29, 2010 :)

Sorry...

2009-09-10T15:52:00.000-07:00

I guess I really should update this more often but I am a busy working pregnant mom :) Well we found out that the new one is a boy!! I am so excited cause I really wanted Caden to have a brother since they will only be 21 months apart :) We go back on the 18th to doctor and hopefully he will still be a boy. We are going to be naming him Jackson Thomas and I am I am already anxious to meet him!! Is it January yet? Here is his pictures and Kristin please confirm for me that he is a he :)

So Proud...

2009-07-14T13:01:00.000-07:00

So Danile took the physical test for the LAPD on Sunday and I am happy to say...

Next is the background check in a month!

New picture...

2009-06-24T09:16:00.000-07:00

Ok so I have had some issues in the last few weeks with this pregnancy and I have been to the doctors 5 times in the last 3 weeks and have yet to have my first real prenatal appointment!!! I had to switch doctors too cause at my appointment with my old one he informed me his is no longer working the baby side of things :( but he will be there to assist in the c-section which will be around the end of January. One of the good things about having issues is that I keep geting ultrasounds done so here is the newest one from yesterday! The baby is twice the size and the heartbeat was twice as loud and so much stronger!!! So excited now I just have to wait 9 weeks to find out what it is is...dang!!!

Big Changes......

2009-06-16T11:21:00.001-07:00

Sorry

2009-06-06T10:26:00.000-07:00

Ok so I haven't updated this thing in over a month...sorry!!! We have been super busy!!! We moved!! and it took us over a month to get the new place ready so I haven't had much computer time lately :) Here is our new address and phone number :) It is weird living in a new city, I have lived in the Sunland/Tujunga area my whole life so I am adjusting!

We will be having some big changes coming up in our lives soon first of all I quit the preschool :( I am sad about it but I am ready to move on it is so hard to teach preschool all day then come home and take care of my own child, it makes coming home feel like work and I hate that! So I am looking forward to coming home and enjoying Caden :) In September I will be starting working full time as our churches secretary, I have been doing this part time from home since July 07. I am looking forward to not owkring form home and leaving all of my work at work!! :) Daniel also recently took the written essay test for the LAPD and he passed with an 85 and I was so proud of him and he was too :) He will be taking the physical later this summer so a prayer for him. I will be sure to keep updating this cause I am sure as life goes there will be many more happenings and changes in our life! :)

Don't touch!!!

2009-04-14T08:46:00.000-07:00

Caden was too stinkin' funny on Easter in the grass. Before he didn't like the way the grass felt on his hands or knees so he use to just sit there with his hands in the air. But on Easter he decided to be brave a touch it but he wouldn't put his knees down. It looked so funny!!!!

Easter

2009-04-13T14:05:00.000-07:00

2009-02-03T21:44:00.000-08:00

Wow I can't beleive that my little man is already 9 months old! That is just so crazy for me cause I swear I had him last week! Man times flies and I hate it! It is actually bittersweet cause I am excited for him to grow up and then I am sad that every day he is less and less of my little baby. It is crazy I am already starting to plan his first birthday party!!

We are back!!

2009-01-27T10:43:00.000-08:00

We are home!! Well actually we got home on Friday but have been busy. We had a blast in Texas visiting Lori and the boys ( I love those kids so much!!) Caden did so good on the plane both times almost slept through the whole thing! He had a rough time in Texas cause he started teething on Wed. and got a slight cold, so the poor boy had a fever for 6 days. But I can proudly say all the trouble was worth it cause he is now the proud owner of 2 top teeth!! :) Oh and Caden got his first haircut, thanks Chaz! Also Rachel, Lori and I got some ink!!! Yup that's right us crazy former Hayne girls got tattoos!! We had a blast I miss them already but it's good to be home! :)

We're leaving on a jet plane!

2009-01-06T23:28:00.000-08:00

Ok so I am so sick that I can't even stand it anymore!! I have the worst sinus infection ever known to man I think!! I am finally going to be able to get into the doctors tomorrow, hopefully they give me some good meds!!! Poor Caden has a chest cold but so far that is all that he has just a nasty cough every once in a while. We have to get better cause we are going to Texas next weekend and flying like this would definatly kill me!!

Look what Caden got!!

2009-01-01T23:34:00.001-08:00

This was Caden's after Christmas gift from Grandma and Grandpa

Christmas Time

2008-12-27T22:21:00.000-08:00

2008-12-16T10:06:00.001-08:00

Good Grief

2008-12-11T09:18:00.000-08:00

Santa Claus

2008-11-30T07:07:00.001-08:00

Yesterday we took Caden to the LA Zoo to have his picture taken with Santa Claus and he did such a good job. He just sat there and smiled and stared at Santa and didn't even cry. Makes me so proud!! I can't beleive that he is 7 months old today!! My little baby :(

Christmas Pictures in the Park

2008-11-25T08:10:00.001-08:00

On Saturday we went down to La Cresenta park and my sister took pictures of us for our Christmas card (which is all done, printed and ready to be mailed!! GO ME!!!). We had a ton of fun and Caden was in a good mood and he had a blast just playing in the grass. We even put him in the swing and he swang there for about 15 min. and he loved it!!! It was alot of fun!! Here are some of my favorites :)

Cousin Love

2008-11-18T13:53:00.000-08:00

So I started watching my neice while my sister in law goes back to school and this is the second week I have had her here. It is alot of fun with 2 babies under a year but I really have no idea how people with twins or more do it!!!! It is fun now that Caden sits up on his own it is easier for them to play with each other. Aurora use to beat up on Caden a few months ago and now he is able to get her back so better watch out for hte next 18 years!! It is really fun cause they are only 4 months apart so they are always going to be the same age and in the same grade!! :)

6 Month Check up

2008-11-11T21:38:00.000-08:00

Caden had is 6 month appointment today and I am proud to say I have a big healthy boy!! He is now weighing in at 19lb. and 28 inch. long he is in the 90th percentile!! Woohoo!! Also the doctor said that he is developmentally an 8th month old so he is advanced, and now we have Dad and Grandpa fighting over who he got his genius from :) haha! He is doing good and goes back in a month to get the rest of his flu shot. I am so proud of him!

Sad day...

2008-11-04T21:00:00.000-08:00

This is a sad day in our country's history. I am afraid for my child and future children. Get down on your knees and pray people this country needs it!

Happy Halloween

2008-11-02T08:45:00.000-08:00

Here he is the little Pirate Man!! He had fun!! :)

Pumpkin Carving

2008-10-30T12:35:00.000-07:00

Caden had his first pumpkin carving experience, well actually he slept through most of it :) But we had fun and I carved his pumpkin in to Jack Skelton cause he is so cute like Caden. Daniel of course did the scariest one :) We had fun and Caden had fun playing with the pumpkins when we were all done.

Grandpa's New Toy

2008-10-27T14:21:00.001-07:00

So Dad got himself a new toy this weekend, he got a Yamaha Rhino and he and Caden are both in love with it. I am sure that over the next few years Caden will have his fair share of rides from Grandpa :)

Spider Man, Spider Man

2008-10-23T16:33:00.000-07:00

So this year for Halloween Caden is going to be 2 things, cause well I can! On Sunday the preschool us having a Trunk or Treat and so my friend Katie let me borrow a costume since on Halloween is going to be a pirate and well he can't be the same thing twice. So he is going to be a spider and he is the cutest spider I have ever seen!!

My Sweet Baby Boy

2008-10-22T16:24:00.000-07:00

How can anyone resist this :)

Caden Laughing

Lombardi Ranch

2008-10-20T14:36:00.000-07:00

We took Caden to Lombardi Ranch on Sunday we all had a ton of fun and so did Caden :) I can't wait for Caden to be a bit older so that he can enjoy Lombardi more, next year he can do the hayride and climb the hay stacks. It is actually bittersweet cause I want him to stay little but yet I can't wait for him to gow up so he can experience all the wonderful things about childhood.

We have a tooth!!!

2008-10-20T06:52:00.000-07:00

That's right Caden's first tooth finally brooke through yesterday!!! I knew he had been teething for week so yesterday I decided to feel around and I got poked!! Yeah my little man is getting so big!!!

Goodbye...

2008-10-14T22:06:00.000-07:00

In just a few short hours Salven is leaving for Iraq. We are going to miss him and we are praying that he will be safe and come home soon. We have our yellow ribbon out on our post and it is not coming down til he is home and safe and sound. We love you Slaven.

Shh..Don't tell Grandpa!!!

2008-10-14T08:02:00.000-07:00

Ok so anyone that knows us, knows that we are so not Dodgers fans but of course my husband is!! Well Daniel bought Caden a Dodgers hat before he was born and it finally fits him. Now I don't like the Dodgers and never will but I am sorry this kid looks to dang cute in his hat!!

Love of my Life!!

2008-10-08T22:43:00.000-07:00

This has to be so far my most favorite picture of Caden :) I think it is the innocence in his eyes or maybe it is just him!! I am sure there will be others but for now this is it!

New Store!!

2008-10-08T22:38:00.000-07:00

I am feeling like on Etsy I am getting lost in all the millions of stuff that is for sale there. So there is a new place to sell Handmade stuff so I am will slowly be putting all my orders over there and see what happens. The website is www.shophandmade.com and here is the link to my store :)

Caden is 5 months old!!

2008-10-05T07:38:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that my little bbay is 5 months old and he isn't so little casue he is wearing 9m old clothes!! He is the best!! HE got his 5 month old pictures taken and they are too cute :)

So cool!!

2008-09-22T21:51:00.001-07:00

So I was standing out on our porch sweeping and I looked up and there was a beautiful and huge Praying Mantis. I could of sworn he was just sitting there on the post staring at me and moving his head. It was freaky and cool at the same time.

Etsy Shop

2008-09-20T23:57:00.000-07:00

So I finally set up some what of a shop to sell my stuff in :) I have been wanting to do this for awhile now and with being a part time stay at home mom I need the extra income and I have a little extra time. Check it out if you want to I haven't had much time to list stuff but I am going to start this week and start making some new stuff :)

Caden doesn't like mornings

2008-09-16T16:56:00.000-07:00

My poor little man is not liking mom being back to work and having to wake up at 6am to eat, he would rather sleep till 8am. Here is the evidence and tell me doesn't he look just like his father!!

Family Photo Shoot

2008-09-14T23:12:00.000-07:00

We decided since Saturday was such a nice day that we would take advantage and do a family photo shoot. It was so much fun and my sister always does a beautiful job. Caden was having a bad day and was not into it :) So there are alot more of Dan and I. Here are some of my favorites.

So Cute...

2008-09-08T19:58:00.001-07:00

I just had to post these pictures of my little man he is the cutest!! Plus I missed him today when I had to go back to work so I didn't get all my Caden fill today!

Back to Work

2008-09-08T13:44:00.001-07:00

Well today was my first day back to teaching since I had Caden, and we survived! That just means no more sleeping in and no more maternity leave!

Halloween

2008-09-06T09:10:00.001-07:00

So Caden is going to offically be a pirate for Halloween :) Can't wait to put this on him!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!

2008-09-05T08:17:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Mommy!! I love ya!! This is what Caden made Grandma :)

Silly Kitty!!

2008-09-03T15:23:00.001-07:00

So this afternoon I went into the kitchen to get something to eat and this is what I found. Yes that is my cat Foxy in Caden's Bumbo seat, I guess Caden isn't the only one who likes it. And no I didn't put her in it this is how I found her, and she sat there and posed for pictures like she belonged there. She is so funny!!

We Love You Uncle Slaven!

2008-09-03T08:20:00.000-07:00

Caden loves you and misses you already!! These pictures were taken back in June when Slaven got to meet Caden for the first time and I think it was the greatest day of his life.

Caden is 4 months old!!

2008-09-02T21:50:00.000-07:00

Wow I can't even fathom that my little baby boy is already 4 months old, man times flies!! We have had a very busy summer and I am just getting around to updating this, sorry! On August 23rd my sister got married, wow can't believe that!! Now in a few short months she will be moving to North Carolina :( This past weekend we had to say good bye to Slaven and that was hard!! We won't be seeing him till May of 2009 and that seems like forever. He will be deployed in October 08 so please keep him in your prayers and my sister too! Well today I gave Caden some rice cereal for the first time and he loved it!! Which really doesn't surprise me since he loves to EAT!! He looks like such a big boy in his high chair, so stinkin' cute!! School starts on Monday which means the end of my maternity leave and 12 less hours a week with my Caden and I hate it! I do love teaching but I love my little man more! Well I plan on keeping this thing up to date more often now that summer is over and we are settling into our "normal" life again.
