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.

Baking a Cake

Kaegan helped bake his first cake!

The Tooth Fairy

Ok. Yes, this child has been thru it all. On his 6 month anniversary he had his front 4 teeth pulled. They were all ... lets just say they really needed to be pulled. Trust me, after a circumcision and heart surgery his teeth were on the list for next year but they became absessed and had to be pulled. My poor baby!!! My BIG HERO!!!! He is amazing when it comes to recovery. He was eating gold fish the same day they were pulled.

This photo is from the night before. We used the Frog to explain to Kaegan that Froggy did not have front teeth and that He(Kaegan) would be like Froggy tomorrow. He held on to this frog throughout the whole process. When we got in the car afterwards Kaegan pointed out to Marty and I that he was like Froggy and tried to show us his teeth. It was so cute and sweet.

This is before the surgery. He is showing us which teeth were going to be pulled.

Also before the pulling.

The tooth fairy stopped in during nap time. Thanks Mimi for contacting the toothfairy!

All pulled and Happy! SOOO CUTE!!!!!

Kaegan's Heart Surgery!

Kaegan had his heart surgery on August 19. He did very well. ACH is an incredible hospital with an amazing staff. Everyone was so courteous and thoughtful.

Kaegan has recovered quickly. He has more energy, it is as if they inserted the Energizer Bunny.

Actual Birthday in Gulf Shores!

We spent Kaegan's actual birthday(August 3) in Gulf Shores. It was incredible. We were there for our company meeting and planned to stay an extra day to celebrate with Kaegan. Kaegan loved the sand but wasn't too sure about the water. He would have preferred to Putt Putt the whole time. I attached several pics. Enjoy!
