pink, yellow, and red?

Out here in Boston there are 3 wives pregnant:] The other two are having girls. You can only imagine what the dominating color is in all of our new purchases:] Even though I am having a boy i decided to participate in the projects. It was so fun to make these headbands. I think that they are so cute and I am thinking that I might be adding them to the list of dream side jobs:] Cause i definitely don't have enough on the list:]

Let me know what you think....Do any of you do them? Is it worth the work? Are they cute enough for the competition?

LitTle brOtheR.......

I took this picture of my ultrasound picture(no scanner)! His little hands were up by his face the whole time:]

Technology is so amazing.

The picture below is proof that it is a boy! I debated posting a picture of his manhood, but we are so excited!

{historical boston........}

We decided that we better experience a little bit of Boston while we are out here, so we took a trolley tour around the city of Boston. It was so amazing to listen to the tour guide stop every 2 blocks to tell us about the big event that happened there so many years ago. Boston is full of History and with Aaron on his way to being a history teacher, you know he was enjoying every minute of it!

I am so glad that Caden has learned to love hats...

He would probably still be wearing it, but the wind blew it off his head:[

Here are a few pics of historical sites in Boston

These people were real,

and they only moved every few minutes it was kinda creepy!

And, the picture below is Caden waiting at the Trolley station

looking at all the fun toys!

motherhood

This is my good friend Cate! She is due in 8 weeks and looks flawless! This is my first attempt at a maternity photoshoot and I loved it! I say this all the time that it is easy to get a beautiful picture of someone beautiful but these are some of my favorite pictures I have ever taken! There is something about photography that just brings me so much joy! I love the feelings that I get when I look at photgraphs. Just looking at these photos just gets me so excited about the gift that us as women have been given, Motherhood. Thanks Cate for letting me enjoy this time with you!

hAppy 4Th

We had a wonderful 4th! What a fun holiday full of food and fireworks. The wives decided to drive down to Boston and meet the Boys for a picnic. It turned out really fun and we even got an informal little photo shoot going:] The boys were just too cute in there patriotic colors so I just went a snappin'!

Warning: lots of pictures!

This is Cadens friend Nash. We have loved having him out here!

I enjoyed taking pictures of him he is so dang cute.

As a side note I did not touch up his eyes at all.

They are as big and as blue, as it gets:]

Look at that face........

Here is part of the hard workin', knockin', pinnacle guys:]

Then we went for a little firework show. It was over a river which was neat to see but not quite the firework shows is Utah:]

This is nash and his mommy and dad!

First attempt at a sparkler. He is not quite a pyro yet, but he still enjoyed it!

We came home and did a few of our own.

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th!

{who knew........}

Who knew that we would have a white haired

Blue eyed

Toe Head

Who knew.......Cause I for sure never imagined it! I absolutely love it but, I really do get funny looks and comments! Caden is going through the funniest little stage he is just really starting to actually talk instead of a word here and there, there are actually little sentences, the whole sentence might night make sense but there are a few words that can be identified! He understands me a lot better and 90% of the time obeys:] He has done a whole bunch of funny things lately. I needed to write down a few for me to remember and mostly for family to get a kick out of.........

1. The humidity is not kind to my hair nor my skin. I put my hair back everyday and I think putting make-up on actually makes my skin worse. Anyways, so I have broken out a little bit apparently a little more then normal cause the other day we were all sitting on the couch having lunch and Caden looked up at me and pointed to my face and said,"mom, a bug"! With a look that was priceless, like get it off your face:] Aaron thought that it was hilarious, I thought it was funny too but if it hadn't been caden saying it I might have cried!

2. Yesterday I had gone to the grocery store and Caden and I were putting away the groceries and he was playing in the drawers just talking away! Well he ran off and I didn't really hear anything for a min. So I walked around calling out his name and I could not find him anywhere. The last place that I looked was our closet in our bedroom and there Caden was sitting in the corner devouring an apple. He smiled at me and took another bite saying, "a apple"! He thought that it was against the rules or something to eat an apple so he had to take it to his little hide out:]

3. Anytime Caden has to poop and squats! Well I have been bringing up the word poop and potty a little bit just to kinda get his brain thinking about it! Now when ever he is done doing his business he says, "uh oh, poops"!

4. As you can see in one of the pictures Caden has a drum in the tub. I found it at Pottery Barn kids and he loves it. We take it to the pool, he has it in the tub, and we sometimes just have it in the toy box. Caden runs around with it and calls it his, "bum"! I laugh so hard cause I will say Caden where is your drum and he starts running around yelling "bum bum bum"!

5. He loves the pool! It took him a few days to really like it, but now he makes me a little nervous sometimes cause he likes to go jump off the stairs and be a little dare devil! I have had him in floaties the last few times that we have gone and he wasn't to sure about them, but today he was in the deep end just kicking away, floating and saying, "wimmy wim"! Stay tuned for a video of it cause it is so funny and that is all that he wants to do now. Apparently he has moved on from the kiddie pool:]

Well that is good for now, sorry to bore anyone I just had to let the fam know how our little guy is doing. I receive frequent phone calls and text messages wondering when we are coming back! We appreciate the love! Here are just a few funny pictures of Caden! He brings so much joy and love to our little family, I just hope that the next one is as cute and well behaved:]
