Caden is a Poo-Poo Head

So Caden is going through the stage where he loves to be naked!!! Today, he and Curtis were taking a nap in the family room, so I decided I would finally get in the shower and get ready. While I was in the process of so doing, Caden had woken up. He ran back to my room and of course I told him to get his diaper on, and he of course in return said no. Then I noticed that his hair was wet. I knew that I had a cup of water on the counter and I figured he had poured it out and made a mess. So I asked him, why is your hair wet? He said no wet. So I said what is in your hair? Then he said me poop. So I immediately look at his bum and I asked him if he pooped without his diaper on. Well, there was no poop on his bum, to my relief. So I continued to ask him why his hair is wet. And he continues just to say me poop. It took me a minute but I finally realized that it was poop in his hair. So then I had to find where it was. So I grabbed him and began to see if it was anywhere else on him. I figured, if it's in his hair, it has to be on his hands or something. I couldn't find any on him. So went out to the living room, and he had done it right on the carpet. and I guess he just layed his head down on it or something, smashed it good into the carpet, and his hair. So now we can really call him a poo-poo head!! Now I wish that I would have taken pictures, but I was so mad at the time I wasn't thinking about that.

So we just got back from a family reunion out in Duchesne count. At a place called warm springs retreat. It was really nice. It was one of those family reunions with 4 generations there, so there's a lot of people you don't know, but you get to know them. The most eventful thing for me, was the first night Olivia fell out of the tent trailer. It was pretty scary. She was rolling on the bed and she got stuck in the corner where the fabric comes down and meets the trailer, and I had no idea that it wasn't all securely closed up. So I'm just watching her talking to her telling her she's so funny, then all the sudden, she was gone! So I had to run out the door of the trailer, and around to the other side to get her, don't worry, we weren't parked on dirt or anything, just asphalt. I guess she was so scared, that she wasn't really crying, but she was really pale. So I took her over to my Uncle who is a doctor. He checked her out and said to make sure she doesn't throw up. She didn't, she was ok. But in the morning, I noticed that she had scratches on her chin, they looked like they were from Velcro, which is on the trailer, so my guess is that her head was the last thing out and so it probably didn't really hit the ground, thank goodness. Then the next morning, she and I were the first ones awake so I took her with me to get ready and stuff, and when I came back I left her outside in the stroller, and she started kinda crying for me and Caden popped right up and started crying saying "Sister fall out!" over and over. I had to explain to him that she didn't fall again that she was outside with me. He was very concerned. It was really cute.
Another part that I really enjoyed, but didn't get to hear much of, because I had 2 noisy children, was that they had all of the oldest generation, that being my grandfather and his siblings, sit around and another relative, their niece, asked them questions about what it was like, or how they felt, or how things were different for them having handicapped siblings. They have 2. But it was just fun to hear them telling stories and remembering. It was nice for me because I don't really know them, so it was nice to learn about my family and to hear stories about them, and from them. It's nice when it comes from a real person that you know, it helps you understand the stories better, and get a better feel for who your relatives are.
I also want to tell aunt Lynne thanks. She did so much work for this whole thing, and she did an awesome job. I think it was a real success. Thanks for all you hard work, we really appreciate it.

New Pictures!! Caden's 2 years old and Livy is 9 months!!

Happy Birthday Little Man.

This is Caden's birthday cake. I made it. Isn't it just FABULOUS!! jk He did stick his finger in the 'a' on birthday, that's why it's kind of weird looking.

It's Caden's birthday today!! I can't believe that he is 2 already! It seems like he was just born. Actually it seems like he was just in my stomach and trying so hard to get out too early. I was sick of holding him back!! I just can't believe how fast time flies and how fast they grow. Everyday is something new, actually probably about every hour. A new word or a new trick. I have been working on teaching him how to say and do 2 when somebody asks him how old he is, but he won't do it. I asked him in the car yesterday how old he was going to be on his birthday, and he said 8. He thought that was pretty funny. I am just continuously amazed at them. Both of them. I can't believe how pretty they are(At least to me!!) And I wonder how we, (Curtis and I), made these beautiful babies. They are gorgeous. I don't see us in them, so that's probably why they're so beautiful. But I guess that's just a mom's perspective!

FAMILY PICTURES!

So this was our first attempt to take family pictures as a family of four. As you can tell from the pictures, it didn't go over so well. First of all, there was a wedding at the amphitheatre, who gets married on the 24 of July in Utah? So we had to stay clear at the back, out of the way. Second of all, the day totally didn't work out like it was supposed to. The kids got up early, so they were supposed to take naps early, oh no, they didn't take naps at all. So they were pretty upset. But other then then that, yeah great!

Caden decided that he wanted to "swim" in the car wash water. He's so silly!!!! He's such a fish and he loves water. Everyday he wakes up and says, "Me, fwim."
