Tying a Tie

Eli gave Caden one of his ties last Sunday and got this cute video of Caden trying to figure out how to put the tie on. There isn't any sound, but it's still cute to watch how hard he is trying.

Lots of Smiles!

Well it's hard to believe another week is almost over. Eli started a new job a few weeks back working for the LDS Church Audit Dept., it has been really nice to get to see him more since he is usually home around 6 pm instead of 9 pm. Anyway he found out on Monday that he has been assigned to the team that is going to Chile for 2 weeks in November! He is really excited to that he will be going back to the area where he served his mission. Caden, Abby and I will miss him a ton, but we are really, really excited for him!!!

We had our carpets cleaned on Wednesday so I gave Caden a bag of snacks to keep him busy in the kitchen and off the carpet. Well as soon as the carpet guy turned on the cleaner Caden headed for the laundry room. I found him sitting in the corner, I think it was just to loud for him!

I just had to post these cute pictures of Abby. This is the first time I have managed to get the camera in time to catch her smiles. Isn't she cute!!!

All Smiles.

So we are still having a hard time getting Caden to leave Abby's things alone (i.e. the bouncer, swing and the baby bathtub.) So I walked out in the living room the other morning and found Caden sitting in the baby bath watching a show. I am glad that I had the camera handy for this one!

Random Photos of the Week

So here are just a few random photos for the week.

Abby is only 6 weeks old and I think she is already sick of me sticking the camera in her face. Eli has informed me that he actually likes the big bows and flowers on her headband so I am sure you will me seeing many more of them in the future!

Peacefully Sleeping...for a few minutes anyway.

"Hurry up with the photos mom, I'm freezing cold!"

Caden wearing one of my shirts. I guess it's more fun to wear moms clothes then his own, and of course he would pick out a PINK shirt!

This is Caden's idea of helping with the laundry. Basically it consists of Caden throwing the clothes out of the laundry baskets.

Eli took Caden to the Circus last weekend. They got to meet the clowns and the got their very own red clown noses to take home.

So apparently the Circus is a pretty loud production and Caden didn't think the music and fireworks were very cool...to loud for him.

Caden did like the elephants and the tigers. Before the show Eli and Caden were able to watch the elephants do some artwork. They have a drawing were you can win the "elephant artwork", which I think basically looks like smeared paint. Anyway Eli and Caden won the elephant art.

My Cute Kids

So Eli and I finally upgraded to high speed internet! Posting pictures is so much faster that we will probably be able to post a few more pictures now! Anyway I just wanted to post a few more pictures of my cute kids.

Caden and Abby

Caden is having a hard time learning what belongs to the baby and what is his. We caught him sitting in Abby's carseat with her pacifier in his mouth the other day.

Happy to be with Daddy.

Caden is such a big helper...sometimes. He wanted to help Eli do the dishes the other day.

Yippee...mom is finally done taking pictures.

Air Show

Eli and Caden went to the Wendover Air Show last weekend and had a great time. Eli said that Caden really liked being able to climb in and explore the airplanes...but didn't like some of the loud planes when they were flying by.

Hanging out in the plane.

I think Caden might have a career in the airplane industry.

Taking a lunch break.

Caden's 3rd Birthday

It's hard to believe that Caden is already 3 years old. He is growing up so fast. It seems like just yesterday he was the one we were bringing home from the hospital! Happy Birthday Caden!!!

Caden having some chocolate birthday cake.

Rusty giving Caden his present. It was a Curious George video that Caden loves...did I mention that he loves it??? That is all Caden has wanted to watch all week. Caden also got the cute green teddy bear he is holding from Aunt Amy...she actually made it and it matches his favorite blanket!

Caden got the new GeoAir plane...although I wonder who likes it more Caden or Eli...

Time Flies!

Well everybody...We missed you!!! This will be my first post since having Abby. It's hard to believe that she will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. We are finally starting to settle into more of a routine and I am starting to feel like maybe, just maybe I can handle my 2 little bundles of joy! We took this cute picture of our kids on Sunday!
