Fireman Kayden

A couple weeks ago was Fire Prevention Week and the Stewartville Fire Department had their annual open house. Kayden was sick for last year's so we were pretty excited to take him this year. He loves fire trucks, and always yells "wee ohh wee ohh fire truck!" when he hears their sirens. He got to sit in a fire truck, pretend to drive it, spray the big hose (like all the big kids and big firemen), and watch Mayo One take off. We missed having him sit in the helicopter by just a few minutes, but seeing him watch it take off was priceless. I had Hannah in the Baby Bjorn and was the one taking pictures, so yes - Hannah and I were there!! :)


Driving the first fire truck, not quite sure about this.


Watching Mayo One take off. It was awesome, they cranked it up, turned and faced everyone and turned all the lights on and waved. I turned my back b/c it was too windy for Hannha, but Eric said it was cool. And then for the rest of the night Kayden told everyone..."the helicopper left and went buh bye like an airplane and went back to Mommy's work, helicopper in the sky!"

Spraying the fire house, just like a real fireman!

Concentrating!

I love the fireman's face, you can tell he loves it!

And he had to touch the water.

Stud!

Fireman w/ his eyes closed, lol.

Watch out world!

Happy Fall

Here are the two cutest kids in the world!! I snapped this picture this morning in an attempt to get a good "Fall" picture of the two of them in their sweaters. But neither would look right at me and smile...so I thought this would work. My first edit job, too! I'll post more pics later, some Kayden "Senior" Pictures!! :) hehe (just for you Auntie Carolyn!)

I Really Want to Go Here!

Hannah 6 Months

Hannah has had one busy month. Wowza!! This little girl is a mover and a shaker. She is a very, very determined, strong little girl!! Her big brother had better watch out!! She literally crawls until she reaches us, or Kayden, or his toys. Whenever she is sitting up or watching, she is watching that crazy big brother. He makes her LAUGH! Its so fun to watch, and he loves tell us if Hannah is awake. "MY HANNAH WAKE UP! My wake Hannah up Mommy." He often says My instead of I and yes he does go in and tell us if Hannah is awake! lol

Here are some things Hannah has done this 6th month.

~got her 1st tooth
~got up on all fours
~started to crawl
~rolls non-stop! (we're talking like she rolls across the entire room to get something she wants, it makes me dizzy!)
~sits up on her own
~didn't cry for her shots!!

Here are Hannah's stats, we went to her Dr. appointment this past week and she is doing great!

Weight - 17 lbs, 14 oz, 86th percentile
Height - 26 inches long, 50th percentile
Head Circumference - 44.8 cm, 97th percentile (lol - really 97%??)

Hannah CRAWLED

Really...5 months old and she's crawling (and cut her first tooth!!!). Not even kidding. We knew she was close, but sure enough - Sunday she's up on all fours and away she goes. She's a determined little bugger, and Kayden, two words for you..."WATCH OUT!" Here are a couple videos, not the best quality - as our video camera battery was dead. At least I got it, right?? :)

Hannah...what are you doing?



"Hannah watch Kayden, I do it!" He was even doing the ahhh trying to make all the Hannah noises as you can see. lol



Checking on her progress

She's UP!

She's wondering what all the camera snapping is for!

Finished product...the crawler!! :)

A Bit of an Update, LOTS of Pictures!

I admit as I was searching through our pictures on here - its been a long time since a good blog of pictures, so this one is a long one, make sure to check them all out!! Our babes are getting so big!! I started coaching dance again last week so its hard, I miss my babies. And this week was a crazy lots of hours week at work, so today it was just me and Kayden and Hannah (and about 8 inches of rain outside - yikes!). It was awesome, they both slept in...I EVEN GOT TO EAT BREAKFAST! Here are some pictures from the last month!

Big Brother Little Sister!
