"You Are More" Tenth Avenue North

Before I Forget. . .

Caden says. . .

1) "What's for dinner, Darlin'?"

2) "What's the matter, Hon?"

3) "Mom, what are you doing in Caden's room?"

4) "Mom, don't be ridiculous!" 


5) Mommy:  "Caden, you need to put the shampoo in the bathroom."
     Caden:  "O-k-a-y, Mom.  Be patient!"


6) Mommy:  "Caden, I brought you a surprise!"
     Caden:  "Oh, Mom! That was very sweet!"

7) Mommy:  "Caden, don't touch Mommy's laptop."
     Caden:  "I said you need to share, Mom!"

Wacky Bounce

"Unca" invited us to Corvallis to see his new apartment and to go to Wacky Bounce.  Caden LOVED Wacky Bounce! Here are a few photos from today:

So fun!

Bounced out!

Preschool from Hell

Tonight, I decided to start researching preschools in our area.  This was the first preschool review I read. . .no joke! (Naughty words were edited. . .)


"Take your kids somewhere else. This place is HELL for kids. These kids scream like f*%#$*! maniacs. It's like they're being severely beaten and scream EVERY day from morning to evening to make it stop. But it never stops. Think of yourself in this environment each day of your life. Not pleasant, you say? Is this a place your child would feel safe? Save your kid the trauma, try a day care that looks after your child rather than introduce your child to a filthy dog kennel to scream with the rest of the mutts. What the f@$% else do they do with their day? I can't imagine any learning or healthy play is happening with the voice boxes of these children diddling away. I live two blocks away and ACROSS C. Rd. (a very busy and loud street) and I still hear those hyenas loud and clear. This is not a healthy environment. If you don't want maniacs for kids, DO NOT TAKE THEM TO THE (apparently the preschool from hell. . .)."


I guess I will keep looking. . .

Toys R Us Delivers a Train Set!

For the past month, Caden has been begging asking us for a train and tracks for Christmas.  While I was at work, he would beg ask Daddy to go play trains at Toys R Us.  Every day when I got home from work, a sweet little voice would plead, "Trains? Toys R Us?!" Because Caden is so cute convincing, we spent many December afternoons "playing trains" at Toys R Us.

On December 25th, Caden's wish came true.  Santa Toys R Us (according to Caden because he is afraid of Santa) brought him his very own train set for Christmas.

We had a wonderful time on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day spending time with both of our families, and Caden has been busy playing with his new train set ever since!

Memory Lane

Baby Boy,

I can not believe how fast you are growing up on us! This year, we will be celebrating our 3rd Christmas with you.  God has truly blessed us with a funny, smart, and handsome little man!

We love you!

Mommy & Daddy

1st, 2nd, & 3rd Christmas

The Nativity (according to a two-year-old)

The other night, Caden was playing with his Fisher Price Nativity set. He was mumbling something about "Buzz, Baby Jesus, and a manger."

I can not wait for Christmas break to play with my little man! (Five more work days to go!)
