Happy First Birthday Kaden Angus!

It is amazing to me that it has been one year this afternoon that I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy, and happy little boy. Kaden Angus Mabe was born February 2, 2009 at 4:20 p.m., on a Monday. We got to bring him home on February 4, 2009, Lance's 40th birthday. Lance says that this is the best birthday he could ever dream of. Kaden is the most precious gift to us that we could ever receive.
It's amazing how much you change when you have a baby. Lance and I are both completely different people than we were one year ago today. When you hear people say that having a baby changes everything, I never dreamed it was so true. It completely changes every aspect of your life, but for the better. There is nothing like it in this life. And, I never understood how much my mom loves me until having Kaden, now I know. It also changes your respect and relationship with your parents. Now we know what we put them through, and feel bad for it! And, I was a GOOD kid! :)
Kaden has had MANY MILESTONES THIS YEAR. Here are a few of our favorite memories...










































































































































































Happy, Happy First Birthday Baby Boy! We love you with all our hearts!
