August 16 - 30, 2017 - 3 years 1 month


Kadin loves climbing up on the old fire truck at the station and can even climb down without my help.  My little monkey!


Kadin wasn't there for loading up the logs onto a trailer, but it is still one of his favorite videos to watch.  The bigger the machinery the better in his world!
Kadin will now put on the googles but still won't go under the water with them on.
After swimming, Kadin and I went out to lunch with Alden and his family.  Here, Kadin and Alden are both using the butter knife to try to cut up the ice cubes.  They are definitely two kindred spirits.
Alden's mom, Nikki, and his sister, Althea, read books together while the other two were playing with knives.
It wouldn't be summer in Alaska without at least one puddle photo.  Here, Kadin's shoe came off in the sticky mud and he just kept on running with out it.  I also tried to keep his cute red Converses out of the mud, but I knew that it was not going to last.

The rains began in August, and along with them, many beautiful rainbows.  Kadin would only pose for the photo if his curly fries could be part of it.
One rainy day, we drove down to the Alaska Transportation Museum and fortunately, it stopped raining intermittently and we enjoyed the outside exhibits.  Kadin sure looks little next to these giant planes!
He was quite disappointed to find out that we were not allowed to climb inside the planes!  
There was a train set up that he could climb into and he would race through each car as fast as he could, jumping on the seats, grabbing any levers he found, and avoiding the scary barmaid manequin in the dining car.

A gift arrived in the mail for Kadin and after opening it, he studied it closely to figure out what it was….

Tinkerbell stickers!!!! Yay!!!!  Thanks Abuela Baiba!!

July 14 - 16, 2017 - 3 YEARS OLD!!!

Happy Birthday Kadito!
Abuela Baiba sent him this card, and he put all the stickers on it immediately, starting on the floor of the post office
.  

My adorable sleeping baby is now a three year old sleeping child… and still adorable. 
Happy Birthday Kadin!

We spent his actual birthday hanging out at a lake, playing with water, rocks, and mud.  Defintely need to see the video below...

Laura and Kaiya graciously offered to help us make yummy blueberry muffins with cream cheese icing for the party.  Mr. Chef jumped right in with the flour sifter.

Feliz Cumpleaños Kadito!

Calvin and Soleil eagerly wait for Kadito to blow out his candles so they can have some yummy blueberry muffins!  Juniper was there too, watching from her mama's lap.  After we got them all sugared up, we went out in the raft and took turns jumping into the water.  So glad it was a warm sunny day!

April 16 - May 3, 2017 - 2 years 9 months


Kadin loves helping me carry things out to the car.

Baby chicks at Mia's house!



Yummy birch sap - and this year, Kadin had his own tap where he could take a drink whenever he wanted.
So much mud!  Here, he lost his shoe for the first time… I think one of the videos is of him losing his shoe the second time. 

Lots of fun in the mud means a mini-bath in the bucket at home.  Which for Kadin, just means even more fun!
Kadin sat through his first movie - watching a bicycling documentary with Sky.  He would burst out laughing whenever the crowd laughed, even if he probably didn't get the joke.  Too cute.


Resting while I carted him home after a fun bike ride.  I think he is wearing a complete change of clothes after all the mud!
After a lot of pleading, I relented and gave Kadin a knife so he could help me cut up the zucchini.  Now if only he liked to EAT the zucchini…



Video #1: Kadin isn't sure he should try to cross a really big puddle, does it anyway.  At the end, when he runs back into the puddle, I (unfortunately) stopped the video just before he fell into the puddle!



Video #2:  Kadin is working super hard (with sound effects, to boot) and gets a bit frustrated when he finally loses his shoe to the mud.


Video #3: The short version of fun with a salad spinner...

Bubble bath at Mia's house!  Yay!  Ba-was! Ba-was!

Focused, better not fall or you'll bite your tongue in half! :-)



Sharing his bread pieces with another kid in Wasilla.

Yeah, he has some random wound below his eye, but geez, isn't he just adorable!


It's a bit blurry, but note the empty Canine Bordetella vaccine bottle that is serving as a pilot now.




After the balloon filled with warm water is used to compress his eye, Kadin gets to play with it.
