JADENS SPECIAL DAY!!!

Jadens blessing, it was such a fun filled day. They had it at Jens Grandpas house and it was attended by many. Everyone enjoyed the good food and great company. Jaden was such a good trooper, he had hundreds of pictures taken, even though we couldn't get him to smile, he kept looking around like what is the big deal..

Here is our little family, but we our growing every year...We are all anticipating the arrival of our newest little angel Danica Rae...
This is Jens family, they are GREAT, we love them and enjoy them so much. Branden is truly blessed to have such a loving family to be apart of.

The PROUD Grandparents, we can't wait for the arrival of Danica cause then we will both have one to hold.hahahah
Now that's one BEAUTIFUL family!!!

There's not a happier or more loving Mom than Jen (ok maybe I'm being a little bias)hahaha. But she is a great Mom and loves Jaden, it's so fun to watch them together.

You gotta love a Daddys love for his son!!!

Jaden putting up with his Daddys humor, Branden thought it would be funny to put his diaper on his head while changing Jaden.

When all is said and done Jaden is right where he loves to be sleeping on Grandpa Mikes chest.....

BIRTHDAY BASH!!

Our annual Birthday Bash, every year we have a tradition to get together one Sat. in December to celebrate Branden, Ryan and Hannahs birthday. This year we decided on Rawhide...It was a huge success!! Little Jaden didn't join us though (we were afraid it would be to cold and the gunshots would scare him). Other than missing him we had a GREAT time.



The kids, they are all growing up so fast and have become such great adults, and know parents. WOW!! It just seems like yesterday we were having Smurf and Ninja Turtle bithday parties....








We rode the train, the funny thing is the photo at the right makes this look like we rode a really fast train, when in reality it was a small kids size train.hahaha



We all had a taste of Rocky Mountain Oysters and Rattlesnake, well everyone but Jen and Grandma (Grandma did try the rattlesnake). We received certificates for braving these wonderful appetizers!!






The girls hanging out around the fire while the guys are at the shooting arcade.









It even snowed at Rawhide!!






Ryan bought his Dad a present..a preying mantis(Mike has a fear of them) so Ryan found a large plastic one in one of the stores and had to buy it for Mike. Mike has now named it Manty.


Here's the kids being silly ( I think there was some pinching going on) but they all seemed to enjoy the evening!!

Jaden at Grandma & Grandpas

Don't you just want to pinch those rosy cheeks. We were so excited this past week, Jen, Branden and Jaden came and stayed for a whole week. Oh my, did Grandma and Grandpa have the time of their life. Jaden is 3 1/2 months old now, and he is doing so good. He sleeps from around 9pm till 7am. He smiles all the time and is nosy as all get out. He turns his head, looking all around making sure he doesn't miss a thing (it's the cutest thing). So I've posted just a few of the photos we took during our most exciting week.


GRANDMA!!!!!!



This is what happens when my Daddy and Mommy leave me with Grandma, she finds silly hats and dresses me up.



Laughing at Grandpas stories....





Look at those eyes!!

All tired out!!! Man it's tough staying at Grandma and Grandpas
