much to be smitten with...

~trying to give big hugs to all of his friends

We spent this past weekend at mamaw and papaw's house and had such a good time! Chad's cousin David came down from Ft Collins with his wonderful wife Natalie and their sons Jack and Caleb. Jack and Kaden became BFFs and bonded quite a bit. We are looking forward to hanging out with them more now that we are so close!

We spent the day Saturday in the pool at Mamaw's place. Of course, I forgot all forms of camera, but luckily realized I had stashed the Flip away in the diaper bag to shoot this little diddy. In addition to this big boy pool, there is a baby pool that is one and a half foot deep. Kaden absolutely loved it and bounced around like a little fishie, until of course, mommy took his eye off him for one second, and was more than an arms length away, and some little boy cut him off and he fell forward, for what seemed like two minutes face forward. So scary! He was absolutely unphased but of course I was like, all done with the pool! As you can see from this video, he was right back in moments later having a good time with his cousin jack and daddy.




Kaden is just so in love with his Uncle BRAH. He gets so happy whenever you even so much as mention his name.

The sunset was completely unbelievable that evening, and sadly my little point and shoot camera could not capture it. Here's the best it could do...use your imagination.
