The Month of July

I had a dream the other night that I was actually caught up on my Blog.
Then I woke up.
I realized maybe it was more of scary dream..
Me, actually caught up on mile long to do list.
"Never"
I finally have come to realize that all I can do is "TRY" and do my best at getting things completed.
I am trying my hardest not too stress too much about all the little things.
There is always tomorrow, to not really get much done. But I can always give my cute hubby and precious little girl all the love they need. And that's all that matters to me.

Kaedyns 5 Month Photo Shoot with Brown Bear

It was not as calm or easy as the previous months.

It's obvious that she is a Wiggle Worm

I Love to check on Kaedyn while she is sleeping. Especially when she looks as sweet as can be. All tucked in with her little bum in the air. So Cute.
Happy 4th of July
I was excited about the 4th, you know fireworks, barbeque's, matching shirts, but having Brentie home with us, topped them all. I love being together as a Family. To celebrate we went to the big Firework show in Solon. Kaedyn did great until about the last 5 minutes. Then she was done with all the loud noises. It didn't help that the show didn't start until about 10:00pm, and then it took over 30 minutes to get out of the parking spot and we were trapped in the parking lot. By this time Kaedyn was screaming and wanted to be asleep in her crib. So Daddy did what any great Father would do, he found a secret spot out of the parking lot.(He put the pedal to the floor and and got the car over a hug curb and we were out of that parking lot) and home in 15 minutes. We survived hopefully the car will too.


I Love all Kaedyn's silly faces.. She reminds me so much of myself. When I was little I loved to just stand in front of the mirror and entertain myself with all the crazy faces I could make. Weirdo, I Know..

Happy 5th of July
We spent the evening at Crocker Park. We had dinner, listened to the Cleveland Orchestra play all these fun Patriotic Songs and enjoyed another fun Firework show. Kaedyn did even better tonight, and we found and even better parking spot.

She Loves sitting up on her own and is learning to put her hands to when she starts to fall. She also ate her first paper napkin tonight. She is like lightning when it comes to getting her hands on what she wants.

It was so neat there were all these fun chess tables and then in the center a huge chess game that you could actually play too.

So the other day I am trying to get Kaedyn dressed and she just is rolling all over the floor. So I thought what a great time for such cute photos. I got some cute ones. Especially the last few.

So so suck your toe all the way to Mexico, everytime she sucks her toes I always think of that silly song.

So while taking pictures I hear this crinkle noise then Kaedyn rolls over. Look what happened.
Ooops there goes Kaedyn's brand new diaper.
You are a magician Kaedyn
***It's only water. Kaedyn playing with her free sippy cup she got in the mail. She is a natural when it comes to holding a cup.

Kaedyn's 1st Luau

She is such a doll, especially in her tiny little outfit.

Happy 8th Anniversary
I Love You Brentie.
By far Kaedyn is the greatest gift we could have given one another. We Love her so much and are so happy she is finally a part of our family. Our anniversary was a little different than usual. No romantic getaway this year. Brent hurried home from work to go with me to another new Doctor to try and get my Back and Tailbone fixed from the delievery of Kaedyn. It's been over 5 months and it is still out of whack. After Therapy we headed over to Olive Garden for a fun Anniversary dinner. Well we enjoy our Salad and Breadsticks, then got our entrees To Go. Our sweet little Kaedyn had, had enough. She is dealing with some pretty bad spit-up and pooping issues. Poor Girl. So off to home it was. By the time we got home, we were all tired from a long day. So no dinner tonight. So our dinner went in the fridge and tomorrownight we will enjoy our Yummy Olive Garden Dinners.

We still give Lot's of Kisses.
After 8 Exciting, Wonderful, Trial filled and Emotional Years
Yep we still Love each other & always will.

As far as Anniversary gifts, we totally splurrged this year. We each got new Bikes, and a Bicycle Trailer/Stroller. And a Beautiful new Chocolate Brown Rocking Chair. (So Comfy)

Kaedyn striking a pose. She loves being naked after Bathtime
Every evening one of Kaedyn's favorite activities is to help her Daddy pull his car into the garage. It is so funny she stands up on his lap and holds onto the steering wheel. I honestly think she feels that she is really driving the car. She gets so excited everytime she helps Daddy drive.



Weekend in New York
Since we have been in Cleveland we have tried to go to Palmyra every year for the Hill Cumorah Pageant. Since this is our last summer here, we had to take one last trip. Even though Kaedyn is to little to remember this was a really fun trip to take her on. We walked throught the Sacred Grove as a family and the walked around the Palmyra New York Temple Grounds. What a fun day, except we could have lived with out the humidity, so yucky.







Just had to share this Beautiful Family picture we had someone take for us.
The camera does auto-focus so I am not sure what they did.

"Fly Kaedyn Fly"


Kaedyn Loves to Pull Hair.. Ouchy


And grab and picnh whatever she can get her hands on. Brent swears she has practically pierced his ears and bottom lip.
Kaedyn and her first experience with grass. She Loved, Loved, Loved the texture of grass.



And then the flowers too.. Uh-Oh we can't vandalize the Temple Grounds
Kaedyn not very happy that her grass and flower pulling came to an end.
Sleepy Head. I love how sleepy her eyes are in these pictures
Our first hotel stay with Kaedyn. We brought the pack in play and she did great. Slept about 11 hours through the night. You are one special girl Kaedyn

A Day at the Buffalo Zoo.

I think she was honestly reading the map, and trying to tell Daddy where she wanted to go next



The carousel ride was a disaster. Kaedyn cried the entire time. And the ride lasted forever. I felt like I was going to barf trying to balance myself and hold onto Kaedyn, and Brent was getting dizzy and sick while trying to capture these sad pictures. I think we will wait a few years before our next ride.

Our "Super Sitter"

She is usally so photogenic. So I had to post this picture. She still looks so darn cute.
Oh the messes of baby Food. Most of the time she is so clean and dainty as she enjoys her food.

But then other days turn out like this & she hates getting cleaned up & having her face cleaned.

Soooo SAD. This past month Kaedyn experienced her first Runny Nose, Cough and Fever. This was so heart-breaking to see her so miserable and uncomfortable. It was a bitter sweet time in my life, I felt so sad for her that she was so sick, but at the same time all she wanted to do was be held, snuggled and sleep in my arms. These were some moments that I will absolutley treasure. Since when she was a newborn I was so sick those first few weeks of her life and so uncomfortable and in pain with my back and tailbone, that I really missed out on a lot of the early cuddles and Loves. She sure is a precious little one.

This is how you can tell Kaedyn is so sick. She just woke up from a 3 hour nap, and it is her usual "floor-time" and her time to play with all her toys. So I put her down and gave her all her favorite things to play with and all she did was just lay there.
