20 Questions

I am surprised that I even remembered my password on here. It has been a while since I have actually had the time to sit down and write. A lot has happened in our household, but to keep to what this blog is mainly about I will just give you a short update. Karsyn turned 1 in April and had a Minnie Mouse birthday party. We went on our first vacation of the year about a week ago to Atlanta. (which felt more like work then vacation still) And last which is what this post is about, Kaden turned 3 on the 18th of June.

3 years old! Holy Cow, time flies. Wasn't it just yesterday that I was giving birth to him? I can still remember bringing him home from the hospital so vividly. It is bittersweet watching him grow into such an independant little man. He has such a big heart and is very passionate about the things that he loves (train, trains, and more trains). He has the vocabulary of a 20 year old and although he says some things that he probably shouldn't be saying, he says them in the right context which I can't help but be proud of! He is a smart kid!

We celebrated his birthday this past weekend with a few close family and friends at Mimi's house (my mom). The funny thing is last year he was totally all about hot wheels cars and Disney Pixar Cars the movie and all that jazz and we ended up having a Train themed birthday party and then this year he is ALL about trains an rarely ever plays with his cars and we had a Cars themed party. I don't think he noticed much though. We rented a bouncy water slide which was a hit. The slide part not so much but the small pool at the bottom was where all the cool kids hung out. Once everyone was gone I actually got my bathing suit on and made a couple of rounds on the slide. We ordered pizza and had cake. Kaden's great-grandparents from Indiana, and his great Aunt and Uncle from Houston made the long drice just to be here for his party which I thought was amazing! The rain from TS Debby held off all day so that we could have a rain free party! All in all it was a great party! Kaden enjoyed playing his friends and opening presents. Kevin and I enjoyed seeing the smile on his face and hearing him talk about the party even two days afterwards!

I got this idea from a blog that I found through Pinterest. (Gotta love Pinterest) I am hoping I can keep up with it for both kiddos. It is a questionaire you fill out on their birthday or sometime around then, starting at the age of 3. The lady that had the blog actually had a neat idea to turn hers into an album which I think I might do. You can add a picture and viola you have a cute keepsake to give to your child when they are older.

So here are Kaden's 20 Questions with answers for age 3!
