I can't believe he's 3!

I can't believe it has been three years ago

 that my dream of becoming a mother finally came true.  

All because his birthmother loved him so much, 

am I able to love him for eternity.

This year he decided he wanted a dragon cake.

I was pretty nervous about it, but if I do say so myself, it is dang cute! 

If you ask Kade who he is, he says.

"Prince Charming"

And what is his favorite part about being Prince Charming?

"Cutting of the dragons head!"

You have got to love boys!

Here he is pretending to cut off the head.

He couldn't have been cuter when we sang Happy Birthday.

He sang right along and had big twinkles in his eyes!

And when it came down to cutting off the dragons head, 

he took it VERY seriously.

Just look at that face!

The family came over on Sunday to celebrate.

 Today, on his actual birthday,

Dad went and got some awesome balloons and we opened presents.

He got a BBQ, and he loves grilling us up some food.

He also got a big truck that he has pushed all around the house.

We are so grateful for him, and love him so very much.

And I can not leave without showing how much Jace is growing up.

He is now three months old, and wants to be older.

I keep telling him to slow down, he doesn't have to grow up so fast.

We love our boys!

Christmas Wrap Up

Kade got to meet Santa this year,

he was so excited!

Lucky for us he asked for the same thing

over and over, a castle.

And this is how he would explain it,

"A boy castle, not a pink one because pink is for girls."

 I have never been a big 

gingerbread house tradition person, 

but I will be now!

Kade saw one on tv and from that moment on was, 

"Let's make a cake house."

No matter how many times we told him it was a 

gingerbread house, he would call it a cake house.

 Chrismas morning Kade walking around the corner

 to see all the presents!

 He couldn't figure out why Santa would just drop them off.

All season we kept telling him Santa was coming.

He wanted to see him!

 It was so fun to watch his reactions.

 Jace just chilling out with his owl.

 There are a million of these in our neighborhood.

Kade was so excited to have one of his own.

As you can see we had a terrific Christmas!

Christmas Card and Birth Announcements

Here are this years Christmas Cards!

I love them.

We were not able to send them to all of our loved ones.

So please enjoy and know that we love you!

Have a wonderful Christmas!!

The same goes for my beautiful boys birth announcements.

He is loved more than words!

Oh Christmas Tree...

Kade was so excited to help decorate the tree this year.

For the first few days of having the tree up he would say,

"We have Christmas!"

Dad and Kade putting on his first ornament.

Look close, Jace and his first ornament.

Our sweet friend Christine gave this to Jace.

We LOVE it!

 This is my favorite picture of the night.

Can it get any sweeter?

My boys and the tree.

It is going to be a fun Christmas at our house this year!

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving at our house, 

is all about the 

PIES!

 And of course Kade had to taste test.

This year we had a very small Thanksgiving group,

so only three pies.

Kevin's favorite, Apple.

A Sweet Potato, to remember the days I lived in Georgia.

And Coconut Cream, will always remind me of my Grandpa.

I know, no pumpkin, but they bought Pumpkin Pie from my nephews fundraiser,

and I didn't think we needed another, 

even if bought pie doesn't even compare to homemade!

What a cute little turkey.

 And I love the bum!

  Here are my two turkeys!

We have so much to be thankful for,

of course these two top the list!

So Tired

Have you ever been so tired, 

you fell asleep while standing?

Right now at our house ,

we all feel this way!

But look who is asleep, 

all by himself!

Way to go Jace!!

(and check out his new chubby cheeks, LOVE THEM!!)

Halloween 2011

For Halloween this year Kade and Dad were

PIRATES!

Kade loved the dagger!

We have heard a lot of 

"Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirate's Life for Me"

 Dad and Kade went and hit the street

when it was still light.

So cute to see all of the other little kids in the neighborhood.

 We had the family come and eat pizza

then the kids went trick or treating.

Pretty cute bunch!

 The babies.

Besides Tagger looks like a monster next to Jace.

Tagger is 4 months old and Jace 3 weeks.

 Who new Pirates could be so cute!

 All of my little Halloweeners!

 Jace loved his first Halloween!
