July 15 - July 31, 2018 - 4 years 2 weeks



Those bloody leeches! I can't remember if we kept the one that did this to Kadin as a pet or not.  At least they are kind enough to apply a topical anesthetic first.  Didn't hurt at all.














P.S.  The fun part of being so behind in my posts is that I can relive all our summer fun while it's cold and snowing outside!

June 16-30, 2018 - 3 years 11 months



The kids had the chance to disect a squid at Library Hour today.  Kadin LOVED it!!!


Yoga class at the library with Miss Geri.  Kadin did okay; some days he was really into it and others he just wanted to run around and do flips.  This was an "into it" day as he does the table pose (the cat and cow were next!).

Grayden, Dean, Kadito, and Ben climbing the fence together after T-Ball.

Funny face selfies on the computer.

Calvin, Kadito, and Jorie hanging out at Twister Creek.
He gets a bit of screen time at the library, at home, and occasionally with friends, but usually in the car, a book, toy, or conversation are plenty to keep him entertained. 
Pride Day.  He ran right up to these two guys to admire their bikes and they popped him on one for a photo op.



T-Ball.  OK, I know I got a bit too excited when he hit it.  ;-)


We made homemade pizza with pineapple and hotdog slices (didn't have his usually favorite, pepperoni).

August 16 - 31, 2016 - 2 years 1 month (Part 1)

Boy can he fly!! 

Any chance to take his clothes off... 
Me! Me! I want to throw the glider plane! Me!

Hanging out with Farah, Dean, and Ben.  

Helmet?  Check. 
Yum!  High bush cranberries! 
I finally got some clothes on him, but it seems as if I've lost the helmet now...

OK, it's hard to make sense of this photo, but it made me laugh so hard.  I was trying to read a urine test under the microscope and I looked down to see a little naked boy squatting next to me with my crocs on backwards and an antibiotic label on his nose.  Looking up at me so earnestly.  Jeez, I love this kid!

Buenos dias!  Off to daycare today.

Kadin ended up getting Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease – a viral rash that ended up spreading to the entire daycare to the point that they shut down for a day to disinfect.  After he was cleared as no longer contagious, he went back to daycare and tried to inspect everyone else to see if they had a rash as well!  Here, he's lifting up Soleil's shirt to examine her back for itchies.

August 1 - 15, 2016 - 2 years 1 month

Such the little Alaskan!
Lots of daycare photos this week…  

Daycare carnival festivities with Angelo pushing the car. 
Kadin looks serious, but had some seriously silly times with all the kids at Skye's birthday party.  Skye is the girl wearing the purple striped jacket. 
Enjoying his favorite foods at daycare - apple sauce, raisins, and crackers.

This is at Mia's house and he is handing her her margarita.  What a helpful little boy!  Of course, he had to take a teensy sip to see if it was well-made...

July 13, 2016 - July 15, 2016 - 2 YEARS OLD!!! A 3-DAY CELEBRATION...

Happy 2nd Birthday, mi amor!!!


We had a mini party for him on the 13th… with carrot cake and paper airplanes, a bunch of kiddos and a baby pool.  Fun, Fun, Fun.



The morning of his actual birthday, the 14th, we enjoyed a mellow morning with leftover cake for breakfast and silly antics with balloons.  I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!!  
(you have to see the video to really get the silliness)


He received a cute card that sang out "Happy Birthdaaaaaayyy" and within minutes, my little engineer had taken it apart and found the battery and circuit board.



We then packed up the car and headed to Byer's Lake, for two nights of camping, pack rafting in the warm water, and enjoying the long summer days.  
Kadin's friend Farah came up with her mom Rachel to help celebrate!












This is Kadin's new "smile for the camera" face...
Kadin had found a speck of pollen and carried it all the way to the lake.  He'd drop it and miraculously, we'd look around and find it every time!
Making friends with a random doggie...



Kadin's first marshmellow roasting!
