The reason I was put on this earth, was to be a mother. I now know this after having our first amazing child!

We took Caden to see Santa the other day, he did wonderfully!! He looks so little sitting on Santa's lap. I'm hopeing next year at this time it will be just as easy!!

Caden will be 5 months this Sunday, December 13th. Wow time flies!



Notice how his hands are on his head? EVERY time he is given a bottle his hands immediately go to head head, he used to rub his head, but now he covers his eyes...so darn cute!!



So far Caden enjoys vegetables over fruits which is odd, since you are supposed to give them veggies first so they won't only want the fruits. He really likes squash and sweet peas!! He didn't enjoy the bananas one bit, which is pictured below! It's so fun to watch his reactions when introducing a new food. He is now doing cereal and fruit for breakfast and cereal and veggies for supper. What a big boy!!






Playing with daddy!



It has been a tradition ever since Kyle was a little boy to hang the first ornament on the tree and has continued, even into his thirties, but now he has passed that tradition to Caden. What a special moment!!


I helped Caden put on the ornament that we got him that said Baby's 1st Christmas


I wish I could get a better video on here of Caden laughing...I need to sit down and figure out the video editing, but here is a not so good quality but adorable video taken on my phone of our lil peanut laughing...towards the end is when he really gets going. His laugh is also so contagious, once he starts really going, I end up laughing in tears as well.

First Thanksgiving


Two Vikings Fans... (Macy looks like she is saying "seriously, a chearleader??"
Dad wasn't thrilled about this because his team is the Packers! Too funny dad!!


Madi is such a little mommy and loves to help with the babies.


Grandma and Grandpa Peters house. Decorated beautifully once again!! I wonder what their electricity bill is in December??

My uncle Chuck had a 60th birthday and grandma and grandpa Kouba came to celebrate! Always good to see them!


Greg, Rayden, Sheri and Kynaston. Rayden loves baby Caden...she was so excited when he finally woke up from his nap!


Auntie "Nae" and Caden in deep conversation...or just trying to read thoughts.


These two had a good time hangin out, Caden thought it was funny everytime Macy looked at him!


Gramma June

Some bonding time, I think Cade looks pretty comfy!


Caden and Macy


My lil peanut. He is getting so big!


All the grand kids on my side. Kynaston and Rayden (Greg and Sheri's) Madison, Macy and Makenna (Denae and Terry's) and Caden. Needless to say it isn't very quiet when we all get together at gramma and bampa's house!

Denae and Kenna



The 3 babies on the Peters' side. Jace Caden and Macy

Macy is always boy trapped

She didn't like being boy trapped

so we put her on the end and all was better!! Those darn boys!


Terry and Kenna


Caden's First Thanksgiving. Unfortunately daddy couldn't be there with us. :(
We missed him dearly.


Mommy and Caden on their first Thanksgiving together. We went to church in the morning and listened to bampa sing in the choir and then hung out at grma and grpa peters house. Being around family...nothing better!!






This was taken awhile ago, but had to post it since it was so cute!!
Kyle gave Caden his first bubble bath...yay for bubbles!!
