One day, Kayden brought his dog over and told me his tail was broken. So he sat on the floor with his tools to fix it. He probably sat there for 20 or 30 minutes.
Finally Sophie-dog's tail (named after my parent's dog) was fixed!

Future Surgeon?
Seattle mini vacation
Tyler had a few days in between taking(and passing!!) his boards so we decided to take a little vacation to Seattle, which is just a few hours drive from us. We stayed 2 nights and did a lot!
A beautiful sunset on the way to Seattle

On top of the Space Needle
It was super windy and Morgan did not appreciate it.
Next we went to the Science Museum. It was probably the best one I've been too.
They had a great Kids Discovery area
That's a REAL starfish! It was so neat! There were several different ones you could touch. The clear box had a bunch of hermit crabs in it. They have to keep them separate otherwise the starfish will eat the crabs. Crazy, huh?!
On the tram. This was probably Kayden's favorite part. He LOVED riding the 'train'.
We got the front seat on the way back.
Pike's Market Place
Doesn't that look amazing?! Mmmmm.
At the Museum of Flight. The kids area had real planes you could play on.
They also had old planes you could walk through. There was a retired Concorde, the fasted passenger plane made. It could get from London to New York in 3 1/2 hours. They served prime rib dinner on china. Tickets were $8000 round trip.
There was also a retired Air Force One.
We also went to the Seattle Aquarium but somehow I didn't get any pictures of that. I really liked the aquarium. The had some octopus (what in the world is the plural for octopus? octopuses? octopi?). Anyway, they were really neat to see and learn about. And they had an even bigger interactive aquarium with more starfish and anemones(like what Nemo lives in) you could touch. Some of the starfish were slimy and some were hard like touching a bumpy shell. And the amenomes were mostly slimy, some would feel sticky because their teeny tiny feelers would grab on to you.
It was so nice to go somewhere and explore. There was so much to do in Seattle and we didn't even get half of it done. We'll definitely be going back again.

Don't cry over spilled...cereal
One day we walked into the living room and saw this...
Yeah. He picked up every single piece.
Kayden turns 3!!
His birthday was back in January. We just had a little party at home with just us. Kayden loves all thing Thomas the Train so he got a Thomas birthday cake! He loved it.
He also loved opening his presents. He said "Oooo!" to pretty much everything. Thanks to both sets of grandparents and his aunts and uncles for the wonderful gifts!
Showing off his new Lightning Mcqueen shoes he got earlier that day. Tyler took him shoe shopping and Kayden picked these out all by himself.
He has so much energy, he's always going going going.
He's very content playing by himself but he plays well with other kids too.
He is definitely a daddy's boy. Everyday he'll ask multiple times "Where's daddy?" even though every single time I answer him the same, "Daddy's at work." Then when Tyler gets home he gets tackled by his two funny kids.
It's so fun seeing Kayden grow and learn and start to figure things out. He has an amazing memory. It's actually kinda creepy, and a little annoying at times. He holds us to every little bribe and deal we make. If we tell him it's too late for a treat or something and say he can have some tomorrow, it's usually the first thing he asks us for in the morning.
At times he's a challenge with his stubbornness but I know it's part of what make him Kayden.
