Arizona 2010

We decided to take our first family vacation. We drove to Prescott, Arizona to visit Amency, Chad and meet Rayla Bay. We stopped in Amarillo, TX to spend the night and Kaegan got to see the Oscar Meyer Weiner truck. We took quick pics that morning and hurried on the road because out next stop was Rayla Bay.

These pics are from the Granite Dells. Kaegan loved climbing the rocks.

We drove to Jerome, AZ and ate at the Haunted Hamburger. Picked a few T-shirts and enjoyed the views of the village. It was beautiful.Mingus Mountain and the Out of Africa Zoo

A Church built into the mountain.

Soccer

Today was the first day of soccer. He had a blast and did very good. They are all so cute. Fun!

1st Day of Preschool

Wednesday, September 8 was Kaegan's first day of preschool. Our baby has grown so fast in a year and a half. We have enrolled him Tiny Town so he is very familiar with his room. His teacher is also a new friend of the family named Dawn. Her family lives in the neighborhood and she has two beautiful daughters that Kaegan adores. This is going to be a great year.

Can't Wait

Kaegan has constantly asked for a baby brother. He has already named him Baby Kya. Today while at Walmart he asked to buy him a surprise. It is so sweet. However, my response is that we must be patient and ask God to find him for us. Well, tonight he let me know that he already asked God and that he can't wait anymore.

PATIENCE!!! Any advice on how to teach a 3 year old?

He takes after me!

Pumfa

Ok, so as we were getting ready for bed tonight Kaegan said "Mommy, I have to go pumfa first." I said,"What?" He said loudly, "I have to go PUMFA first!" I said "What does that mean?" He said, "TEE!TEE!" I said "where did you hear that?" His comment was "Chinese, Mommy"
As if I was suppose to know that. I really have no idea if that is truely what it means but it totally caught me off guard.

"Family Day" AKA "Gotcha Day" Anniversary

March 3, 2010 was our one year anniversary with Kaegan. We decided to rename the day "Family Day". This is day that we became a family as one. To celebrate it was asked Kaegan what he wanted to do. Well, the zoo was the answer. We loaded up and headed to Tyler to the zoo. We had a great time together. The weather was beautiful and cool. After the zoo we stopped in Longview so Kaegan could jump at Pump It Up. He loves this place. He played for 2 hours. We all had a blast. Here are a few pics of the day.

Been awhile!

Ok, so life as a Mommy is incredible. We stay so busy and love every waking minute of it. I just noticed that it has been a long time since our last post. There really hasn't been too much free time to stop and download pics or simply type. The free time that I have had I try to spend with Marty. Of course we are now the 3 Bears so everything we do is together. Time alone with Marty is now getting a little bit easier to find.

Everyone has been well and healthy. Kaegan starts preschool in September. WOW!!!!! I just got him and now it is time for school. He grew up too fast.

I created a book for Kaegan. I finished it this week. The book is 244 pages of our incredible year with Kaegan. I plan to continue to make one each year for him. It should be in the mail next week. I can't wait to see it.

As far now, Kaegan has adjusted very well to everything. He is now asking for a baby brother. Yesterday morning he told Marty about wanting a brother and Marty said that he had to ask Jesus. Kaegan stopped what he was doing and clasped his hands and bowed his head saying, "Dear Jesus, Please give me a baby brother, baby Kya. Jesus name, AMEN!" It was so cute. He has his name picked out and everything. Our prayer is that one day we can adopt again. According to Kaegan it will be a boy.

Anyway, just catching up a little. I hope someone still reads the blog. Let me know if you do.
