Go cougars, go cougars!

Notice how Kaden can't keep his eyes off the action to talk to the camera? And, we loved it every time the Cougars made a basket! So fun! :)

BYU basketball

Last night we took Kaden to his first BYU basketball game. He was so totally THRILLED! In fact, every two seconds (that's not an exaggeration!) he asked, "are we at BYU yet?". When we got to Provo we went to the bookstore and he got to pick out a candy from the candy counter and he got a new shirt. Then, it was off to the game.

Check out his new shirt!

Making a "Y" with his arms.

Riley (and Papa, Mimi, Lindz, and Cory) all met us there too.

We were a little worried when we didn't see Cosmo, but never fear he arrived and made everything that more exciting!

We had a GREAT time and can't wait to go again.

And, a BIG THANK YOU to Kacey for babysitting Bosten!

Project 365

I'm doing a new project this year (yeah, just like I need another project)! The idea is that instead of scrapbooking the big events...birthdays, places we go, holidays, etc. I try and capture more of our everyday life. I've been taking a picture everyday since I started and I'm really liking it so far. Instead of doing big layouts, the idea is that I just do a little journaling next to the picture and throw it into the albulm. Nice. Easy. Totally Doable. Here's a few of my pictures from the last couple of weeks:

You already know that this means we're sleeping through the night!

(He's still doing it, by the way!)

Kaden and I making cookies one day.

Bosten playing with his new Christmas toy.

Playing for hours (literally!) in the bathtub.

I upgraded my cell phone, so that means Kaden got my old one. He's "talking" to Daddy.

Kaden being sweet to Bosten. He really is a GREAT big brother and is such a great helper!

Some of my other favorites include both kids strapped in their carseats to head to Mimi and Papa's house, Kaden and his cousin playing soccer in the snow, Kaden on his bike and Bosten in the stroller for a walk, and Kaden asleep in our bed around 4pm (that's after INSISTING that he didn't need to take a nap...yeah, right!). Anyway, you get the idea.

Oh yeah!

Why does this picture make me so dang happy? Bottles in the fridge first thing in the morning means that

BOSTEN SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!

The big event happened Saturday night, and we were thrilled! We both woke up a little after 6am, looked at each other, and ran in to make sure that he was breathing! :) Once we reassured ourselves that he was, we went back to bed for another half hour before he woke up. I was hoping for a repeat performance last night....and.....

he did it again!

He actually slept longer...10pm until 7:30am! Its been a couple of happy days at our house!

THIS makes a happy Mama

This is the scene at my house right now:

HALLELUJAH! This past week has NOT been a good nap week. One or both of the boys (depending on the day) haven't cooperated to take a nap at the same time. Is it too much to ask that they both sleep at the same time??! I'm not kidding when I say an hour (or more) of peace and quiet and doing what I want is HEAVEN.

Our new little sunbeam

Today was Kaden's first day as a sunbeam. He was really excited to go to class, but wanted Daddy to go with him. They went to singing time first, and Kyle said that at one point Kaden turned around and said (nicely), "Get out of here Dad. Go." So, Kyle left. After class he was THRILLED to tell Dad that they still got to have snacks and they talked about the world. Our little monkey is growing up...sniff....sniff! :)

before church

The picture he colored in class. He said, "Mom, put my picture on the 'puter so Mimi and Grandma can see it!"

New pictures

Here's some new pictures...mostly for the Grandmas!

Kaden and Riley playing soccer at Mimi's house

Playing trains with his superman cape on!

Bosten hasn't been doing a whole lot of this lately...he's still feeling pretty yucky...poor baby.
