Birthday Boy! 2 Years Old!

Cayden turned 2 on August 29th,

 2013 and Daddy and I had such a fun day planned for the little guy. We decided since Cayden was so obsessed with airplanes, we would do an AIRPLANE BIRTHDAY! We started out the day driving to the Laramie airport.

 

Since Daddy is a pilot in training, he took us on an airplane ride!

 

 

Very excited

 

When we put the headset on him, he was a little weirded out and it was sooooo cute that it squished his little chubber cheeks!

Not sure what to think=)

When I plugged in his headset to the microphones and he could hear us through the earphones, he got really scared and started to cry. Mommy held his hand and then he was better.

 



We decided to take our birthday boy to the movie theater to watch Disney, "PLANES". We lucked out because we were the only ones in the movie theater, so Cayden could roam free down the aisle.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY 2 YEAR OLD HANDSOME BOY!

 





Cayden's First Year

Alrighty then...It's been a wonderful year of all things Cayden. If you haven't noticed, our little boy is the ABSOLUTE CENTER OF ATTENTION! We are so blessed to have him in our lives and he has been the most precious gift we could have ever asked for. So, besides the whole walking thing, he has been into everything and especially loves to get into cabinets and open drawers in the kitchen. He is getting so good at saying lots of cute words like 'Mommy, Daddy, Uh Oh, Mamma(grandma), Papa(grandpa)", and the always popular word, "NO". He has certainly grown so much to look like his handsome daddy, and it is very cool to see little bits of me in him as well. It is hard to sum up a year of him in one post...but I JUST ADORE HIM and have loved every moment of being his mommy!

 

Cayden loved being out in the snow and kept intentionally falling onto his face and eating the snow. The whole time we played and went sledding he kept smashing snow into face and definitely maxed his daily intake of water=)

 



We had so much fun with Alayna, Cael, and Brailynn on a wonderful SNOW DAY!

 



 For about 4 months, we lived with my mom and dad, and the Stokes family all under one roof, until we moved into our new house! It was so much fun hanging out with our family everyday, and Jared and Brady especially loved the much needed "golf" excursions. I felt so bad for my amazing parents that took us all in and had to deal with a few months of chaos, screaming, crying, messes, LOUD NOISES, and sports on tv 24/7. They are simply awesome! You are the BEST MOM AND DAD HATHAWAY!

 



Cayden and Brailynn became really good friends while living together and although Cayden was a little scared of the dynamics of having a girl cousin, he realized she is so much fun to play with.



We moved into our new house in early August, and Cayden and I are loving our new backyard, eating popsicles(or as he calls them, "pahkabas"), and watching junior high football! We are so lucky to have such a talented Daddy and hubby that built us such a beautiful home. LOVE YOU BABE!

Caydens favorite thing is to play in the backyard in the dirt!

 



I think my little man is starting to get the whole peeing on command thing. If only I could get him to pee in the toilet instead of outside, we could start thinking about potty training.

 



HE LOVES to brush his teeth and constantly brings me a toothbrush and toothpaste so he can scrub away. Makes my job easier!

 



Uh oh I have taught him the smoochy face pose. Mommy's little man!
