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

Updated photos!!

Here is the happy PARENTS to be. This was after their 3D Ultrasound. They were both very excited and amazed at the experience. It was so much fun watching Danica, she is a beautiful little girl. The vote is in she has Hannahs eyes, nose and facial features. Ryans chin, and we can't wait to see whos personality.hahaha. She has a little of both of them in her as far as being stubborn, she kept her arm and hand up around her face most of the time. But they ended up with the cutest pictures ever. Hannah looks amazing and is doing really good.

Jaden with his Aunt Hannah. Hannah was showing Jaden a picture of a baby and Jaden was so interested in that. He also was in the room when Hannah had her 3D ultrasound so Jaden has met his new little cousin Danica. Check out Ryan and Hannahs blog for the ultrasound photos.

Here is Jaden and his Mommy, Jen is such a good Mommy and just loves Jaden so much.......

This is me and my very best friend Debbie of 28 years. We are holding our grandbabies. We raised our children together now we are enjoying our grandbabies together. How blessed we are.

This is Jaden with his new friend Clark (Holly and Craigs newest addition to their family) Clark is about a week old and Jaden is 10 weeks old. Branden and Holly grew up together they were about 8 months apart, and now their children are going to be friends. How fun!!

Jaden smiling at Papa Mikes stories, Jaden loves to lay on the floor and just listen to the stories that Papa Mike dreams up.

Fun Photos

Look Gramie....Ain't I the cutest baby you ever did see??? Uncle Ryan says you look like a little shephard.

Jaden sporting his Phoenix Suns Outfit....Doesn't he look so styling????

I'm going down to Phoenix tomorrow (Tues) till Friday. I will be doing some babysitting so be prepared for new photos next week. Yeah!!!!

Jadens weekend at Papa Mikes and Grammies

We had the most amazing time this past weekend. Branden, Jen and Jaden came up to visit. It was such a blast, Jen and Branden pretty much let us take care of Jaden the whole time, they went out both nights with Ryan and Hannah and friends. SO Papa Mike and Grammie were on duty. He was such a good baby, he's almost to the point of laughing out loud. He will smile and make some noises and he's just about to giggle. We fed him, bathed him, had him in his swing, his bouncer seat and even took him for a walk in his stroller. We made sure we fit it all in. hahaha. It's amazing to me how you can love such a little person so much. We laid him on a blanket on the floor and Papa Mike kept him entertained with his stories, he would just look at Papa and sometimes interject a few noises of his own, of course it melted Papas heart. We can't wait for his next visit. hahaha

The very HAPPY family!!!!

Jaden sleeping in Grammies and Papa Mikes Bed.

Of course Jaden with his proud Grandparents!!!

Jaden just chillin out in his bouncer seat..

Great Grandma Reddix and Great Grandma Peters enjoying their GREAT Grandson....

Jaden spending some quality time with his Mommie and Daddy!! They are both such good parents.

Jaden trying out his new stroller, he really enjoyed the walk we went on. Actually I think his Papa and Grammie probably enjoyed it better than he did at this age of the game. hahaha

This was a picture Branden sent me on his phone (that's why it's a little blurry)of Jaden in his Pumpkin outfit. It's so dog gone cute I had to include it!!!!

Cute Little Jaden

We had a great weekend. This past weekend Papa Mike and Gramie spent a lot time with Jaden. He is growing so fast and is as cute as can be. He is starting to develop his own little personality which is so fun. I took a ton of pictures. He's so fun just to sit and watch, he makes the cutest facial expressions and he follows voices all around the room. He is eating well and voicing his opinion when he is hungry.

Jaden sleeping on Papa Mikes chest. Doesn't he look so content??

THIS WAS AFTER HIS MORNING BATH, WHICH GRAMIE GAVE HIM.

Phew...That bath just gave him out, so he found his thumb and lullaby land he went.

This photo is for Uncle Ryan, "Look at me Uncle Ryan, cheering for the Cowboys" GO COWBOYS!!!

Man cheering for those Cowboys can make a boy hungry and strong, look at me holding my own bottle!!!

It's naptime, I just love my blankie that Great Grandma Peters made for me, it's so soft and comfy.

WHAT?? I didn't do it!!! Looks like he's up to something....
