Easter Weekend...

A week late, but here are the pictures! We had a really good Easter weekend this year, Kaden was so excited about the eggs (he has a weird obsession with eggs, he always wants to crack them) and for the Easter Bunny to come! Saturday morning we took them down to Thanksgiving Point for the Easter Egg Hunt. They had activities for kids and a big easter egg hunt for all the different age groups. We got there at 9:00 am and it was FREEZING! We quickly did a few activities with Kaden, and as soon as the egg hunt was over we were out of there!

Kaden got a race car painted on his face

James had to leave early to get to work so Todd took Kaden on the Easter Egg hunt! There were about a million kids out there, they were lucky to get a bunch of eggs! Todd said that Kaden only wanted to get the pink eggs, hmmm.....

Had to get some hot chocolate to warm up before we froze!!!

We had a neighborhood party that afternoon at the park. Kaden still couldn't figure out that you are supposed to find the eggs and put them in your basket, I had to follow him around, point the eggs out and tell him what to do with it. I guess this whole easter thing is a little new to him....


Dying Eggs..

The Easter Bunny brought Kaden some big boy underwear. I think it is about that time, Ahhhhh!
Easter Sunday, my two kiddos! Payton looked so cute in her Easter dresss that Kaden couldn't resist giving his little sis a kiss!

My new Golf Club!

Today was a great day for Kaden because he got to go pick up his new golf club that Grandpa Scott had ordered for him! My dad is so sweet, he took Kaden to the golf store the other day while we were having a shower for my cousin Jenn. Kaden for some reason golfs left handed so my dad ordered him in a lefty golf club that was just his size. Lately he has had an intense obsession with golfing.... aside from his obsession with basketball, bowling and pretend football. Every time we are at my parents he heads straight outside to hit the golfballs with clubs that are twice his size, so at least now he can head straight outside with a club that actually fits him! It is funny how boys are naturally so drawn to sports! I love it, I just can't wait until it is warm enough for Kaden to swing that club somewhere other than my hardwood floor, I can't count how many times a day I am yelling "only on the carpet!!!" Thanks Dad!!!

Welcome Home Drew!!!

I just wanted to do an update on a post that I wrote a few months ago on my cousin Jenn, her husband Eric and their little baby Drew. This week sweet little Drew was able to come home from the hospital! I know a lot of people have been following their story and it is a truly amazing one. Little Drew was unexpectedly born at 24 weeks weighing one pound four ounces. No matter what challenge was put in front of them Jenn and Eric were true examples of faith, patience, hope, determination, the list goes on and on! They have spent every day of the last four months traveling to the hospital to be with their little guy. They tell the story of their journey much better than I could ever tell it on their own family blog, but I really just wanted to express my excitement and love for the Towner Family and to say Welcome Home Drew!!!!

Family Pictures

This week we had our family pictures taken! The morning was a bit chaotic being that we had to have the pictures taken before James went to work, that meant a really early wake up for Kaden. He was very grouchy and uncooperative, we had to bribe him with everything imaginable to mankind (fruit snacks, cookies, chocolate milk, chocolate cookies, going to the golf store, watching TV etc. etc. etc........... the list goes on) Not a smart idea, however despite my toddlers bad mood she was able to get some really sweet pictures! She does such a wonderful job, you can check her out at www.fausetphotography.com Here are some of my favorites:

One Week!

This week has really flown by! It makes me realize how quickly time flew by with Kaden, how quickly they grown. I love being a mother of two! It is amazing to have a new baby in our family, and a totally new experience to have a girl. I absolutly LOVE it! Kaden love his new little sis BUT, as some of you with multiple kids may have already experienced, has been screaming (literally screaming) for attention. He is super grouchy and I honestly can't blame him. I have been slightly out of commision because of my c-section and haven't been able to give him the attention I would like to of. But tomorrow's a new day! I just had to post some pictures of Payton in her first week home. She is such a good baby, other than the fact that she will not eat for more that 30 seconds at a time, but we will work on that.....

Aunt Ash gave Payton her first manicure... don't want to scratch up that pretty face!

Kaden my love bug wrestling with Mokie (who has also been suffering from attention withdrawls)

Our New Arrival!!!

Our Sweet little Payton Morzelewski has made her appearance!!!

She was born on March 1st weighing 7 pounds and 20.5 inches long!

We are finally home to post some pics, what a relief :-)

We were a bit suprised that she came into the world so early, being that my actual due date wasn't until around the 24th of March. I was scheduled to have a c-section on the 13th, but I guess Payton had her own plans :) We were out to dinner celebrating Morgans birthday when I started having contractions. We stopped by the hospital on our way home to make sure that everything was okay, but once I got there my contractions were so close together that they decided to keep me there! I was in complete shock; as most people know I had fully planned my schedule up until the day of my scheduled c-section! I was so positive I wouldn't go into labor before then! We checked in to the hospital around 8:30 p.m. and by 11:52 p.m. we had our sweet little girl! We couldn't be more thrilled!

Kaden was asleep when we got to the hospital and was knocked out cold throughout most of the night. Too much excitement I guess

James got to wear this sweet outfit into the operating room, when did they do away with the scrubs?

Payton had to spend the first 22 hours in the NICU so I was soooo anxious to have her all to myself!

Kaden love his little sis! All he has talked about for the past couple of months has been giving her a binky, rocking her, giving her kisses. He is so sweet.

Jenny and I together in the hospital! Bo was born only 3 days after Payton, so I made my way down to Jenny's delivery room to cheer her on...

Jenny was only 4 rooms down from me, so we got to spend a day in the hospital together before I went home! Di was also there to deliver Reese the same day as me, she was only a couple rooms away too! I guess it was a popular time for babies!

Payton and Bo

Finally going home! 5 days in the hospital is plenty for me!

Mmmmmm, Apples

My living room is a bit of a disaster area right now! We sold our couches and they came and picked them up last week, but our new couches are yet to arrive! I took advantage of the open space and let Kaden set up his tent/tunnel set to play in. He then pulled out all the toys to toss into the tunnels. What a mess....well I let him have some apples with caramel dip yesterday while I was getting ready. When I came out a couple minutes later I couldn't find him, but then spotted one of the tunnels standing upright. I peeked in and found this! He was being sneaky because he knows he isn't supposed to eat anywhere other than the kitchen. Little stinker...
