Update on life

Wow! It feels like forever since I wrote anything on my blog. Probably because it has been forever. So much has happened! Where do I start.

I got Keefe completely registered for Kindergarten. It is so weird to think that I have a child old enough to start school. He is so excited too. He knows it just after his birthday that school starts so he asks me everyday "mommy is tomorrow my birthday?" He actually started crying today on the way home from daycare because his birthday is "taking too long". He is my sensitive kid and make me laugh at least once a day with how he over reacts to everything. I have know idea where that came from....J/K He's just like his mom.

Kaden started walking this weekend! Big news I know! He still wont walk at daycare which I think is funny. I think he is afraid of getting knocked down by the other kids in his class. Unlike his brother Kaden is one of the smallest kids in class so he gets picked on quite a bit. He did walk to me to go home today so that was fun for the afternoon teachers. I'll have to try again in the morning so the morning teachers can see it too. It is so cute. He holds his arms out like he is walking on a tight rope and takes the smallest little "baby steps" you could imagine. But once he gets started you see his confidence build and he quits thinking about it and then he can really move. I know that in a week from now I'll be complaining that I can't keep up with him and that he is running the halls at church.

It's funny really. We spend the first 2-3 years of our children's lives teaching them how to walk and talk and the rest of there lives telling them to sit down and shut up. Ironic isn't it. And for those of you who don't have walkers and talkers yet...you just wait.

I guess my last bit of exciting news is that my divorce is final. The judge signed the papers today so mark it on your calendar. I got married on the 5th of August 2003 and divorced on July 15th 2009. It would have been really funny if the Judge had waited until the 5th of August to sign. Then we would have been married for 6 years officially.

I can't believe how relieved i am to be done with it all. I have come full circle in my life. From being a "molly mormon" to a hell raiser back to an active member (not quite so molly mormon though) There are still of few areas of my life that I need to work on but it will come one day at a time. I don't know if I will ever be the same person I was in high school but I know that I will be the best I can be now. Life experience has changed me and I understand now what is really important and I don't waste my time "sweating the small stuff". I don't care what other people think of me anymore. I am happy with me and the rest will come.

I think that is all for today so LATE!

Kaden Turned 1!!!!!

Yesterday, my little boy turned one year old. I can't believe it has been a year already. My how time flies. The party was a lot of fun. All my closest friends and family came. I was so glad my two best friends from Ogden could drive down. It was fun to see Audrey, my friend Nicole's baby. She is adorable.

Kaden has to be the cutest thing on two feet next to his older brother. Yes, call me prejudice I love my boys. It was fun to see Kaden open his present. He was a little timid at first but once he got the hang of pulling the paper and hearing his favorite rip sound and realized he WASN'T getting in trouble for tearing paper for a change he was all in. I don't know about what he wanted but he got everything I wanted.

My grandparents gave him a ride and walk. It's one of those things they can ride on and then it converts to a walker. He likes walking more that riding. Big surprise there. His older brother Keefe, gave him a glow worm. I had one of those when I was a kid and remember sleeping with it until I was nine or so. He got so much he didn't know quite what to play with.

The best part was the cake. Oh My Gosh!! I didn't think anything could be so funny!! Again he started out timid but once he got a taste of the frosting it was handfuls at a time. We were all laughing so hard. Then, when he tried to get up and crawl across the room, I said, "Kaden, no no." cause we didn't want frosting all over the carpet so he sat down right on the cake!!! Let me tell you if you have a child that is about to turn one, get them a cake they can destroy, IT IS WORTH IT!!! Plus, if you go to your local Albertson's and tell them you need a cake for a one year old it's free.

Well I guess that is all for now. I will post pictures as soon as I get them developed. I couldn't find the charge for my camera and had to use plain old film!
