Christmas cookies

Caden helping me make Christmas cookies!  He loved helping dump all the ingredients in and wanted to do everything himself. 

Trying our final product!

Grandpas visit

Dad and grandpa John spent the night on their way through town from a visit to our family dentist Brent!  Caden LOVED that they stayed.  He came up to me (a week later) and we wondering "where's grandpa?"  So sweet!

This is the first time we have had a real tree!

13 weeks and some birds

13 weeks - Starting to feel more myself these days, not as sick or tired.  I also have felt baby kick a couple of times.  Nothing consistant and it isn't very often but every so often I can feel our lil nugget!  SO exciting!  I can't wait until daddy and Caden can feel him or her.

 

Jackson came over to play one afternoon.  They have so much fun together.  It is so great that we have awesome neighbors!

The weather has just been BeAuTiFul and one night we went for a walk and this is a typical scene at on the lake by our house.  The geese are usaully there around sunset.  Caden loved watching them take off.

Pumpkin Patch & Halloween

Our neighbors had a Halloween Party...Caden with his two friends Jackson & Emma!

Goats at the pumpkin patch...Beckett trying to hold Cadens hand.  so sweet

He LOVED the rabbit.  He wanted to keep going back to see it.

Beckett & Caden

This was on the carriage that was pulled by horses over to the pumpkins (which were VERY picked over, but fun nonetheless!) 

He could have gone on this a million times.

Happy Halloween!!

Daddy didn't have the proper equipment and burnt by the lil dragon

We also met Jackson at the mall for some trick or treating

He was SO cute in this fish costume (Beckett)

trick or treating on our street.  By the time we did this it was pretty cold and he had his fill at the mall so we only went to a couple of the neighbors houses.
