Kaden 1 Month Pictures

Can you believe Kaden is already a month old? Kristen and I took him to Ann Morrison Park to take his pictures....here they are!

OUT-TAKE! Look at those toes!!!!

4th of July '09!

We decided to visit our family in California over the 4th of July. Tom and I were ready for a road trip and Kristen was going a bit stir crazy after having baby Kaden. We did a lot in a very short amount of time. We were also able to stop in Sacramento and have lunch with Melissa, (Tom's sister)Mason, & Myles (nephews). And stayed the night at their house on our way back home.

We stayed the night in Reno on our way down.

Kaden - Silver Legacy Hotel RoomBrenda and Mark had a party at their house for the 4th. We had a great time!Here are a few action shots of the kids jumping in the pool. I love taking mid air photos!

Taylor - Isn't she beautiful?

AJ, Kristen & Kaden

Danika had her own little mini-bar going on! She didn't like that I laughed and told her how cute it was to have a line up of her favorite things by the pool... that is why there is no smile.

Kristen & Kaden... well his legs.

I had fun taking night shots with our camera of the kids and fireworks. Love this one!

Sitting outside watching the fireworks.

This one turned out really well! Eric, Mark's nephew let this one off.

Danika shooting off a Roman Candle. With the shutter open,
I was able to capture the streak of light coming from the candle.

Makayla and some sparkler fun!

Garrett - Disney World

Garrett left Sunday morning bright and early for Disney World Florida for a week! He arrived at 1:20 pm - called me before he was off the plane to let me know he had made it. I sent him a text later and asked for some pictures. This is what I got. I really wanted pictures of HIM! So I have my request in for more... we will see what he sends.

And.... you guessed it. More Kaden pictures

Tiny tiny baby foot.

Great Grandma Marlene loves me

Taken today

He loves to sleep like this. He can flip from his back to his side.

Sage loved Roger's socks. He would sleep on them.

Sweet boy!

Asleep on my lap

More Kaden Pictures

He is changing every day. And smiling... Actual smiling. Not just facial expressions. I talk to him and make goofy faces and he smiles at me. He is so alert!

Backyard

Tom ordered rock for the flowerbeds in the backyard. Seeing a huge pile of rock in your driveway knowing how much work there was to be done just makes you sigh. But - it is almost complete! Tom and Garrett did most of the work, but I did help :-) . I think they gave new meaning to the phrase "Rock & Roll". I will have to take some pictures and show their fine work!

Kaden Pictures

Kaden & Rayden.

Kristen's friends were at their house tonight with their daughter Rayden. She was born April 17th and Kaden weighs 2 lbs. more than she does! Don't they both look thrilled to be having their picture taken?

April & Kaden

Kristen's best friend April is here visiting from California. She is such a great friend and a big help! I wanted to get a couple of pictures of her holding Kaden. We laughed so hard at this one, I almost feel bad posting it (almost). The expression on his face is priceless!

Much better!

Kristen and AJ had some shopping to do so they brought Kaden over last night. Here are a few pictures.

He looks like Kristen most of the time - but in this picture I can really see AJ.
I love when he stretches! He always leans his head back, arches his back, puts his hand up by his head and lifts his eyebrows.

My beautiful grandson.

Kaden had his first doctor appointment this morning. He is doing great, and has gained 3 ounces.
