Happy 2nd Birthday Bug!!

We also celebrated Kaden's 2nd Birthday over Labor Day weekend.  We went to Ellensburg for the famous fair and rodeo.  We spent the first part of the day at the fair with my family and Jerrod's family.  


The kids loved looking at all the animals...

And loved spending time with their Grandpa...


 Kennedi loved riding on the rides, and thankfully my mom is such a great Grandma.  She watched and waited with her as she went on lots of rides. 

After our day at the fair, we went out to dinner, and then back to my parent's house to celebrate Kaden's birthday.  He loved his presents, and still plays almost daily with everything that he got.  
I realized that my poor baby boy didn't really have a lot of "boy toys", so that is what he got a lot of.  He really loves playing with his truck, cars, and tools.  

 GG (Great Grandma) got him a real Tonka Truck!  I just know that thing is going to be around for a very long time!

I love his face here.  He is so excited about his Handy Manny tools.

 Jaela, Ryan, Nana Susie, and Grandpa Mitch

Nana and Grandpa gave Kaden some Sooner gear...just in time for football season!!

This is the cake I made this year.  It wasn't as complex or difficult as cakes that I have made in the past, but I still really liked it.  Kaden loves airplanes, and this was the best option for a crazy weekend. 

Singing "Happy Birthday" to our boy!

He blew out the candles by himself! 

Two years ago, I had no idea how much my life would change by bringing a little boy into our family.  He is such a blessing to us.  It has been so fun watching him grow into a little boy.  Needless to say, he is most definitely a BOY!  He loves to jump off anything he can climb on, he loves to play with his cars, and airplanes.  He has so much energy!  And, he sure loves his Momma.  I love it.  He has that ability to just melt my heart.  One of the only things that I really remember about his baby blessing was that Jerrod said that he had the gift of happiness.  It has been so fun to watch that indeed be true.  He sure has the ability to make us smile and laugh.  He brings that joy to all he is around.  

 Happy Birthday Buggy.  We love you more than you know.  These past two years have been such a joy to watch you grow.  We can't wait to see the wonderful young man that you will turn out to be!!  
Love, Mommy and Daddy

Haha, nice to know we're not the only parents a little behind on getting our boy some boy toys! Although whenever Jordan brings home a truck or monster it's always for Makayla and not Oscar! LOL!
Happy birthday Kaden!
I love the cake, simple, classic and very cute!

It has been a very long time since I have last posted.  Very long.  I have so much catching up to do, but I need to write about a very special little girl and the fact that she is turning TWELVE today.  I first wrote about my story here .  If you have no idea what I am talking about start there.  Read my story.  It was the first time that I really shared my story out in the open for the whole world to read about.  Five years later, so many things have changed.  I have changed.  We have added 2 more beautiful boys to our family.  We are blessed beyond what we could have imagined.  Today, I will be thinking about Alex all day and I will play the events over and over in my head for the next few days. Alex is twelve today and that blows my mind.  Sometimes I feel like that experience was something that I just lived and other times it seems like forever ago.  But, I can't help but continue to ache for her and ache for that re...

A VERY Significant Day

I am behind on some blogging, but I realized that I won't be able to get all of that done right now before I post this. And, I really want to post this today. Some people get the opportunity to have something so significant in their life happen that changes them forever. I am one of those people. Today is a very special day for me. One of a few very special and significant days for me. I have only been celebrating this day for the past 7 years, but I will celebrate it for the rest of my life. Today is Birthmothers Day. Yes, I am a birthmother. I know that most of you do know this about me, but there are some of you who don't know and this will come as a shock to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to write down my feelings and hopefully I can share some sort of insight to this topic. For those of you who don't know...a birthmother is someone who has placed a baby for adoption. When I was 18 I discovered that I was pregnant and was scared beyond imagination. F...

My Story--10 Years

Image
I have many titles, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, etc.  I cherish all of those titles, and try to be the best that I can be in each of those areas.  But, a title that I hold very dear to my heart is the title of "Birthmother".  Almost three years ago, I came "out" to the world that I was a Birthmother.  Close friends and family knew, but I wasn't ready to be so open about it yet.  I finally felt I was ready, and wrote my story HERE .  Please feel free to read it.  It is a long one, but it is the whole story. That was three years ago when Alex was seven.  Now she is TEN!   I have changed a lot in ten years.  I am so much more open with my story.  I am proud of the woman that I have become and the decisions that I have made in my life to follow my Heavenly Father.  I don't care who knows my story now.  If they hear it from me, then it is told the right way. Today is Alex's tenth birthday!!  Whenever h...
