What was he thinking?
Kaden is starting to talk a little more now. He says 'hi', 'baby', 'bee', 'ba' (for bath), and tries to say 'all done'. I also taught him where his ears are, and how to grab them and pull them out while filling his cheeks full of air in order to look more like the monkey he is :) Now I am working on me asking him 'where's mommy's heart' and him hugging himself. I also want to teach him that he is 'mama's baby'.
So Thursday night Dustin and I went outside to clean up the yard and get ready for bed, and we came across this...
Also, what the heck was my husband thinking when he bought this...
I am trying to diet, and this is my favorite gum! I just want to sit down with this whole bucket and eat it like food. It's like putting a alcoholic in a bar but saying he can't drink. What a jerk!! haha

Oh the Disappointment
I think tonight might be our last year playing volleyball. Schedule conflicts are causing us to rely on grandparents to take him to games and I can't stand missing them. I think next year we will concentrate on Harley's sports because he will be starting football too, and eventually I'm sure he is going to want to play basketball. Also, before we know it Kaden will be starting T-Ball and I couldn't imagine what our schedule will be like then!!
Well, it's going to another busy weekend. Tomorrow is regular softball, Saturday is an all day softball tournament, Sunday we have a friend's college graduation to attend and then Harley also has another baseball game. WHEW!! On a good note, we don't have to worry about planing our grass seed in the backyard because we already got that done yesterday...WOOHOO!!

Kaden's Favorite
Also, my little guy is sick right now with a fever and runny nose :(
Update on Harley...When school let out we decided that he was old enough to have a small chore list and of course we would give him an allowance every week. We decided that for now $5 a week was enough for a 8 year old. Well I made up a spreadsheet and printed it out so he could post it on his bulletin board. He has a small list some of which include cleaning his room daily, feeding the dogs, and picking up poop (with a pooper scooper thingy of course). Twice a week he can surprise me by doing something small on his own and if I can't figure out what it is then the next day he can cross one of his chores off his list. Well, he is doing AMAZING. He wakes up almost every morning and before I even know he is up he is off and doing his chores. I am so proud of my lil' brat...haha! He even helped us do some yard work back a week ago!

One More Day
*Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
*Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
*Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
*Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I will buy you one if he comes by.
*Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
*Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
*Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
*Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.
*Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
*Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
*Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows. *Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given..
*I will think about the mothers And fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.
*And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer... It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day...............

Another busy weekend...
Tonight is Volleyball at 6:00 then rush home to get Harley ready and to his baseball game at 7:15. Good think he plays at Solheim during the week, that makes it easier.
Then all day Saturday we plan to work and finish our backyard. We didn't get very far last week because after doing some prep work, which took over half the day (bettering our dog kennel, putting new bricks in front of the shed, replacing some of the bricks that were destroyed this winter with the salt we used, raking, mowing, pulling out a couple small trees, building a planter around my lilac bush, etc) we ran out of energy from our 'oh so hot' sun! I got burnt to a crisp and didn't want to plant the seed.
Then all day Sunday is a Softball tournament for Dustin and his softball team. Come and join us at Clem Kelly. The first game starts at 9:o0, and depending on if they win or lose with determine what time the next game is. So feel free to come and keep me company :) Then at 7:30 Harley has another Baseball game at Clem Kelly.
So it's going to be another way to quick weekend for me.
