Here we go!!!

Welcome to our blog page! I decided to give this a try. I hope that this is a good way for our friends and family to stay updated on our busy lives! Madison is now 4 1/2 and Kasen will be 11 months old this week. I have no idea where time has gone. It makes me sad to think that my baby is almost one......especially considering that he is our last. However the best is yet to come.

Madison just started pre-k 2 weeks ago. She is so smart. She knows her alphabet and can count at least to 20 or so. She can write her first name very well and is learning how to write her last name and her phone number! She is such a good big sister to Kasen. She loves him to pieces! And she also has become very helpful around the house. She is our little princess no doubt.

Kasen is growing like a weed and it seems like he does something new each day. He has been crawling for quite some time and he loves to pull up and stand. He is cruising along furniture and trying to climb things. He is trying so hard to talk right now. He says Ma Ma and Da Da, and Ba (bottle). He loves to talk (mostly listen) on the phone. He gets the biggest smile and laugh if you put the phone to his ear. He is also clapping his hands (alot-especially in church today during prayer time!) and waving. He is such a laid back baby. He is seldom unhappy and is very easy to please (and a very good sleeper too :). He is also a VERY good eater. He is eating LOTS of table food. Today we were eating some leftover grilled chicken and he kept getting mad. I finally figured out that he was mad because we wern't giving him the bites fast enough...he kept biting my fingers!!!

Today we installed the new bike seat for him on my bike and went on a nice family bike ride. Kasen LOVED it! he wasn't too crazy about the helmet at first, but as soon as I took off riding he was just fine! It was such a beautiful day for a bike ride, about 75 degrees. Madison of course is doing great on her Barbie bike. She goes very fast though she still has her training wheels. She asked us to take them off a few weeks ago. We did and that didn't work out so hot. Needless to say, the training wheels are back on, but that is ok!

I think I have written a novel now, so I'll leave it at that and will post again later. I hope to keep you all updated as much as possible! Take Care!
