And, He's Off!!!

Kaden got his walker, push along toy last night, and he is off walking all over our house! He LOVES it! It is so FUN to see him go, and he is So proud of himself when we clap and say "YAY Kaden!" We are having WAY to much fun with him!







We went over to some friends house last night and played an 80's music trivia game, it was a BLAST! Something we need to get out and do more often. This is Daddy and Kaden packing Kaden's diaper bag.




Daddy and Kaden talking to this donkey, "E haw, E haw" Kaden says.


I also wanted to write about my surprise visit from my step sister Tonya for Christmas. I didn't know that she, her Mom, and her little boy Lewis were coming until a couple days before their trip here. Remember, Tonya lives in Mesa, Arizona and lost her husband and brother last January in a vehicle accident. This is the first time our family has been reunited since all the tragities last January. It was a joyous reunion and I am SO happy she came to see us!
Tonya got to come to my Mom's Christmas....



This is left to right, Tonya, Vicki (Tonya's Mom), Lewis (Tonya's son), My Mom, Me...



Bless her sweet heart, Tonya is a WONDERFUL massage therapist!!!! (This short, red haired lady standing there is MY GRANNY FISHER, in case you wonder where my red hair came from! HA! )



Here is my nephew, Lewis, opening his gifts Mom and I got for him... He is three!





I got him a dump truck cell phone so he could take it on the airplane with him...





Lewis looks JUST like his DADDY!

Here's Kaden overwhelmed by all the toys at Nana's Christmas....


Lewis and Kaden playing....


Tonya, Vicki, and Lewis came and spent the night with us. I cooked them a homemade dinner and hope that they were able to relax well here.

We sure enjoyed having ya'll here Tonya, come back SOON!!! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!

And, one more thing, my wonderful husband took me to Dallas to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on December 30. It was FABULOUS! What talented musicians they are. WoW!











They put on a wonderful show! Lance was out on tour with them two years ago (drove a truck for them), so he wanted to take me to see a show. It was amazing!

Tomorrow, I go back to work. Lance goes back today. We aren't looking forward to it at all! So, if you don't hear from me you know why, we are back in the GRIND! It's a LONG time until Spring Break!!!
