Kaden turned six on November 4th. He is getting so big and such a great little kid. Kaden has wanted a party at classic fun center and a transformer cake for a year and so we did it. Everyone had so much fun there was skating and video games and slides and a bunch of blow up jumping toys.
Madison is one of Kadens best friends she was are old neighbor before we moved to Arizona. Kaden was just Two when he started playing with her.

Kaden was so excited to get the lego Indiana Jones game for his new DS. Thanks aunt Kathleen.

Halloween

Kaden was obi wan kanobi and karter was darthvador this year. They were so excited to go trick or treating this was the best shot I could get. Justin left work early this year and made really yummy chili but it ended up being way to spicy for the kids. We had Maric, Jason and Isaac over and Kathleen, Dan and Zack too. Karter had fun for a little bit but some of the costumes he saw made him pretty nervous so we went back and Just took the big boys out to finish the trick or treating they did not come back till there orange pumkins were full to the top.

OCTOBER FUN

We carve pumkins every year this year the whole family came to are house
Justin cut everyones tops off

yum

Dan pulled everyones guts out cause no one wanted to espically my boys

So as a family we usually do gingerbread houses at christmas but while shopping at michaels one day Kaden found a haunted house one and talked me in to getting it. He had so much fun just look at the picture his hands were black like two days

Karter is always so happy and had fun watching k do the haunted house he did not really get into it

He really liked the icing

So this month started out with a baby showere for my sister marci at my house she is having twin girls. you look great marci.

brothers best friends

So I Woke up this morning at 3 am to hear kaden having a conversation very loudly or at least it seemed at 3 a.m. as I listened while trying to wake up I hear him telling a story about the cow jumping over the moon and then I hear another voice start to giggle so I get up walk in his room and find Karter in Kadens bed and k says hi mom Im just telling karter some stories. Karter has been sleep walking latley and has always come into my room. I then took him back to bed. At 645 a.m. I hear kaden again saying karter wake up its morning but at are house morning does not usually start before 8 so I start to go tell kaden to go back to bed but found him still in bed only again karter was there but asleep and k tells me I just woke up mom and he was here. so i told him to go back to bed and not wake kar up about 1/2 hour later I hear them both up and wilder then ever. I wish I would have taken a pic of this Kaden is such a good big brother and karter loves him so much.

CHEESE
OK Kaden lost his two front teeth last week. Not the way I would have expected though. K woke up one morning with his top lip really swollen. I gave him Benadryl and it went down some. He kept saying his teeth hurt and would not eat. The next morning he woke up and his gums up top were really red and swollen looking. Of course it was labor day weekend and the dentist was out of town but he called in antibiotics for him. Wednesday morning I took him in to the dentist. K fell and chiped his tooth a year ago and his tooth had apparently died. So they drugged him up gave him the gas and he still screamed the hole time they did it. He was not happy about not having his teeth and asking me when the new ones were going to come in. Kaden has a great school teacher this year Mrs. Erickson and by the time school was over he had decided it was pretty cool to not have his two front teeth. Thanks Mrs Erickson for helping k not be so nervous about his new look.
