Slowly but surely I am finding a bit of time!!
Mother's Day 2009

Kaedyn was so excited to give me a gift.

She colored me a picture and made me a cheerios and marshmallow necklace


Almost done packing up the truck

Bye Bye Truck


I Love this Picture.
Kaedyn looking out our front door window for the last time..

As soon as the Moving truck pulled away we locked up our home for the last time. Went to the realtors office and signed all the final paperwork for selling it, and then we were off to our next home. Which was a 1 Month Hotel stay while Brent finished up his Residency at the Hospital.
One of Kaedyn's Favorite Activities in the Hotel
Kaedyn's new addicition, thanks to the Hotel
Watching T.V. & eating Snacks in front of the T.V

She runs around saying " T.V. T.V Snack, Snack"

Kaedyn being Silly in the Hotel.
Dumping her bowl of soup on her head.
This was a first..
All I had to was call Housekeeping!!! Easy Clean-up






Our last Shopping Spree at the Aurora Outlets
I sure will miss all those good deals.
Kaedyn has become a pretty savvy shopper as well.


Kaedyn's new little curl on top.


Kaedyn's first trip to the Children's Musuem in Cleveland

Mama's Bargain Shopper in Training
Kaedyn was very interested in changing all the babies diapers
Ohhhh No, Kaedyn's 1st tantrum.
(Due to mom and dad forcing her to put on the Astronaut Outfit)
Too Cute not to capture with pictures.
Sooo Sad!!!!

Happy for about 2 seconds, then we took the outfit off.

"WoW" it's amazing our time is up in Cleveland.
After 6 years in Ohio we sure have come to Love It..
It's funny to think back 6 years ago and to remember I was crying because I didn't think I could ever live in such a place. Now I am crying because I don't want to leave.
4 Years in Dental School @ Case school of Dental Medicine

"1 Amazing Pediatric Dentist"
Way to Go Brentie!!





Our Final farewell to the "Ball Machine" in front of the Pediatric Dental Clinic
So Brent finished his Residency the first of July, Kaedyn and I flew to Fresno, CA to be with my family for a few day, while Brent drove from Cleveland, OH to meet us in Fresno, CA.
He made it in 2.5 days and only got pulled over once, for not using his blinker very well...
No ticket, just a Warning..
Kaedyn striking a Pose!!!

WoW, even cuter!!!
Swimming with her cousins
After enjoying a few days in Fresno with my family,
we packed up the car and drove to Rexburg, ID to visit Brent's Family.
Happy 4th of July



Brent's parents had just gotten home from doing service in China..
And this is Kaedyn in her cute little China dress.

After a few days in Rexburg, we were finally on our way to our final destination.
Bend, Oregon..
Sweet little Kaedyn was such a good traveler.
This pictures melts my Heart.
I Love her sweet puckered little mouth.
We finally arrived!!!
At the rental home..
So Excited!!!
***** But Wait, now the Drama Begins*****
You know us, nothing is ever simple, there always has to be drama.
So we walk into our new rental home, and like most woman I immediatly smell something, "Yucky". Brent of course, is like I don't smell anything. As we are checking out the house, the smell is worse and worse and then I also hear water running.
Okay to make a long story short, the home had been vacant for the last 30 days, no one had checked on it, and the Master Bath toliet pipes had exploded and water had been leaking for the last month. The master bedroom and bathroom was completly flooded, the kitchen ceiling was about to cave in from water damage, and the smell was just yucky.. We managed to brave the storm and stayed in the house for our 1 week we had planned for adjustment before Brent started work. Meanwhile work was being done all around us to repair the home. During that week most of the carpet was replaced & shampoed and they fixed the ceilings etc..

Us finally unloading the truck after 5 days of living there..
Kaedyn was such a Good Helper
And what do you know, that evening after we have unloaded the entire truck the "horrible, stinky, wet dog smell came back... Needless to say we couldn't take it any longer.
We called up the rental company, and of course it was back and forth of crazy conversations.. But they finally gave in and realized they were totally at fault. And they loaded up all our belongings in a new moving truck, gave us all our money back, "thank goodness" and moved us to a different home, of course this time we went with a different rental company. As far as houses go, it's 1 strike and your out with us..

At this point, Bend, OR did not make a very good first impression with me.
Below are some new pictures of us in the new house..
Thank goodness we all can laugh about the craziness now.

"Say Cheese"


Adjusting to life in Bend, OR
Visiting one of the many parks.







Kaedyn's new toy, for being such a good girl, with all of the adjustments.


Okay, so maybe the new toy wasn't a very good idea for our wild woman..
It should be very clear that you sit and bounce on the pony, not stand and bouce.


Kaedyn having so much fun.

Uh- Oh, this was bound to happen..


Help, I have fallen and can't get up.
Well, hopefully she will learn her lesson.


Obviously not... You can't keep this crazy girl down..
The perfect advertisment for Brent's Pediatric Offices..



Brush, Brush, Brush...


Our silly Mama, sure is getting creative with dress-up.
Weeee!!! Look at me!!!

Well with a new place to live, we have to find new activities.
So here is Kaedyn preparing for something new.
Eating up the Power Bar for her new adventure..


Ta Da!!!
It's Our Little Gymnast..


I'm not sure who is more Excited.
Kaedyn & her teacher on the Bars.
Playing in the favorite "Foam Pit"
What a fun day, she Loved it..

Keep checking back, I think I am on a roll to finally staying updated..
Stay tuned, there are many more "Exciting" things to share with everyone.
