Kaden

Well Ive been tagged for my other kids so today Ill do Kaden. So here are my five things about Kaden.

1.Kaden loves all sports. He loves to play them, He loves to watch them but his favorite is Football. He had so much fun playing flag football this fall and cant wait for it to start again. He loves to wrestle for northridge and has since he was 4. The thing you might not know about him or if you read my blog often you might know is that Kaden is a very good tumbler. He doesnt like to tell people this and I dont think any of his friends even know. But he is a level 5 which in the tumbling world means he can do 4 backhandsprings in a row. He almost had his whip and loves to do front and backtucks off the double mini.

2.kaden is small now with me 5'2" and craig 5' 7" as his parents you know none of my kids are going to be very tall but he is the smallest kid in his class and he hates it. But the thing that bothers him the most is Jaxson is about 5 pounds lighter and only a few inches shorter than him. Jaxson is 4 years younger.

3. Kaden is very quiet but dont let that fool you he has a very wild side. He loves to ride 4 wheelers Loves to ride them at the sand dunes. He isnt afraid to drive it anywhere and has crashed a couple of times. I hope this is no indication of how he will drive a car.

4. Kade loves to be with his friends but at the end of the day he loves to be at home. Im happy to tell you he is a momas boy. the only one of my kids who are! He really loves his room and his house and is happiest when he is home. He has had a the hardest time adjusting eveytime we move.

5.Kaden is smart but when it comes to math and numbers it is like second nature to him. Since he was 4 he could tell you what and single digit number plus or minus was. Now in first grade he is teaching himself times tables. All i can say is YEA!!!!! Because Math has been a task for me and trying to get Bai through it.

Now I want to hear more about..... The Barns Boys, Olivia Zolik, The Wren Girls and Hallie Mayes

Jaxson Craig Higley

I got tagged to post 5 things about Jaxson. My sister tagged me and out of all three of my kids I think she thought his would be the funniest So hang on to your seats here we go!

1. Jaxson is a rough and Tuff BOY!!! Anyone who knows him knows this already. He can not sit in a chair for 2 minutes or be quiet for any length of time. sorry Erin! He will not cry no matter how hard he gets hurt. Never has. Barley ever cried when He was a baby, but we are making up for that now. Hard as Nails on the outside but he has a soft heart who loves eveyone on the inside.

2.Jaxson Is a friend to everyone! He will find a stranger in the store and take their hand and want to take them to show them something. He talks to everyone when ever we are out. He yells Hi to kids his age as we are passing them and really gets his feelings hurt if they dont say Hi back. He is very friendly to everyone and really wants everyone to love him back. Jaxson isnt very gentle but loves to hug the little girls. They dont really reciprocate his hugs.

3. Jaxson loves to play video games with Big Bro Kaden. I thought when he first started doing this he was just playing around and that he couldnt possibly have any idea what he was doing hes way too young to understand....right?? Wrong I watched him play for a couple of minutes the other day and I was amazed!!! He was actually playing the games and good. Better than I can Play them. The Boy is Three!

4. Jaxson doesnt have the Time of patience to watch TV (actually none of my kids watch TV) I dont think he has ever sit through a movie. he would much rather be outside playing. Or playing with cars which he LOVES. He drives them on everything. Walls Cupboards, people, dogs Everything.

5. Jaxsons favorite person in the world is his PaPa Scott! There is no place in this world that he would rather be than with his PaPa. I think the feeling is mutual! They play football together and cars together. They take long walks around PaPas yard. The first thing he says when he walks into grandmas house is Where Is My Papa!?!?!? As we pass his house each Day to pick the kids up from school or to go anywhere he yells there is my PaPas house and then gets Mad when we dont pull into the Driveway.

This has been a way fun Tag!! I love my Baby!

Now I want to hear more about, Caden Mayes, Tate Romney, and Drew Close Have fun Girls! btw I hope I got the names right...sorry if they arent but you know who I mean.

Piano Teachers??

Does Anyone Know anyone who teaches Piano close to my house? Or is anyone who knows how to play piano willing to give my kids some lessons? I want to put Bailee and Kaden in lessons for the Summer. I dont expect them to become Great Piano players just be able to play a little and find out if they will like it.

Bailee took 2nd Place at State

Bailee had her State Tumbling Competition on Saturday. She did so awesome taking 2nd Place on Double Mini. Her Score Qualified her for Nationals. She also took 5th Place on the floor against 16 girls so she did pretty good on that event too. It was a long Day in Heber but way Fun! Kaden did not compete in this comp because I didnt want to drag him for the all day ordeal.

Im feeling a little nostalgic today as i ran across these pics from 2002. I dont have alot of pics on my PC from back then but when I saw these I knew I had to blog about them. Look at how cute she was....still is....but lately ive been wondering where did the time go with her. Shes growing up so fast now and Jr. high is just around the corner AHHHHHHH!!! I knew then the boys would be breaking down our door someday. Problem is that day has come sooner than I thought. Dont you wish you could pick a day and go back and visit???? I do!

Bailee Babysitting

Friday is always Date night for me and Craig. Bailee is a great little Babysitter but this friday I started to wonder if I should ever leave her alone again. I came home to the windows opened the TV moved pointing towards the window and the sound up all the way. When I turned it off I could hear the kids yelling at me from outside the House "Turn it Back ON".
Come to find out Bailee decided to cook cookies in the microwave and she cooked them for 10 minutes. Needless to say the house filled with smoke. So much so they had to go outside to escape it. They made the best of it though making their own Drive In Movie. Dont Kids just make you laugh. I couldnt be mad at her not when I saw the Drive in she set up for the kids. How Fun!

My ray of Sunshine!

This Morning i woke up and thought to myself I cant bear one more day of Winter!!! Im tired of the cold and the snow and the gloomy skies. All i want is some sunshine and then here came my Sunshine in the form of Kaden. He Stood at the end of my Bed with the Biggest Smile on his face and said its Morning mom Wake Up. He was so Happy just to be up and getting ready for the Day. I asked Him what he was so smiley about and he said "I love you MOM" If that isnt a way to start Out the Day... I dont know What is.

Queen Bees & Wannabes

So we all know Raising girls isnt an easy task. But ive been reading this great book by Rosalind Wiseman. You have probably heard of it before and so had I. But since Bailee begun this huge change into her preteen years Ive been looking for some answers to help me with her "moods". It is so amazing nailing things she is going through right on the head. Did any of you start having crushes on boys at this age? (Bailee is 11) I dont think I did really but Bailee.....i think she is starting to go a little boy crazy! Maybe If I could get the boys to all stop emailing, instant messaging, and calling her I might have a couple years left to have a sweet inoccent little girl. But I have a feeling that all has come to an end and I am at the begging of her Teen Years. NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Any way this book is great and I would totally recommend it for any of you that are getting ready to go through these years with your daughters. Those of you who arent quite there yet....keep this book in the back of your mind. You will need it.
