I ADORE this boy who's turning FOUR

I cannot believe that we have a birthday boy tomorrow. Although, since we've been talking about it enough I should believe it! :) How is it possible that he's four?!

We waited for this little boy for a very long time! I guess he was done waiting because he decided to make his appearance a month early! Kyle was in Seattle for work meetings the night that we got the phone call. My brain totally started working in warp speed....how is Kyle going to get home? we've got nothing packed or washed or ready? where's the carseat? who do I need to call? Kyle ended up driving home that night (poor guy, he'd worked all day and then had driven to Seattle to be in meetings all the next day), which gave me time to get stuff washed and ready and loaded in the car.

My mom came over and helped and made a million phone calls as I rushed out the door. We drove all night to come to Utah, and we went straight to the hospital to meet him.

Its been so fun having him in our family! (well, the last few days haven't been that fun...He's been sick and we've been having power struggles at night...ugh.)

Happy Birthday (tomorrow) Kaden! We're so grateful to be your family and we love you.

1st birthday.

Turning 2 with a Curious George party (with family) and took him to his first hockey game...which he LOVED.

We spent his 3rd birthday in Disneyland....not necessarily for his birthday, that's just how it worked out. He got to be King Triton (notice the gold crown?) on the Little Mermaid carousel.
