Kaiden Sitting up

Kaiden started sitting up a little over a week ago and at first he only sat up for a minute or two before toppling over but now he can sit up for like half an hour. He loves sitting up and playing with his toes. Kaiden is such a big boy, I can't believe how fast he is growing up!

Another Year older!!

Well I turned another year older on Saturday and however many of you know that my day was not the best day, I was able to salvage it at the end and had a pretty good time at my party. We just did a small family BBQ at my parents house and enjoyed each others company and watching the kids run around. Thank you everyone for a nice evening, especially my hunny Matthew who cooked an amazing dinner.

The cutting of the cake!! Matt ordered the cake and for those who can't read it, it says "To the sweetest girl ever. Happy 26th Birthday Tracie, We Love you bunches." Isn't he sweet!!!

Don't ask me what I was doing, because I really don't remember!

The kids playing beach in the driveway!

The infamous Happy Birthday song, I think Taylor was the loudest.

Kaiden loves his baths!!!

Kaiden loves taking a bath. He loves to splash and laugh and smile!!! It makes it so much easier to bathe a child when they actually enjoy it.

Slish Splash

This is fun!!!

Weekend in Orlando!

We took a mini vacation down to Orlando this past weekend to meet up with some of Matt's family from New York. His Aunt Teewana and her boyfriend, Bucky had come down for a wedding. They had never seen Rianna or Kaiden, so it was a very nice visit. Everyone we met up with wanted to take Kaiden home with them, he was such a good boy! We stayed in a very nice resort, with lots of ammenities, the only catch was that it rained all weekend. The kids got to swim a total of 10min before the lightening and thunder came back. So then they filled up the jacuzzi and splashed around in there with bubbles. They had a good time. We didn't plan to go to any theme parks, and boy am I glad we didn't because of the rain.

This is how our view from the hotel room looked most of the weekend!

Visit from an old friend!

One of my very good friends from High School, Amber, came by today to visit. She just had a son, Elias who is about 2 months younger than Kaiden. Elias slept most of the time but it was really nice to see Amber and little Elias. Hopefully we will be able to get together again soon next time she comes up from Fort Lauderdale so that the kids can really play.

Let's Play Ball!!!

Taylor had her first softball game last night and she sure made her parents PROUD!!!! Taylor went 3 for 3 with 2 RBIs at the plate. She played 3rd base most of the game and was ready for every play, she played catcher for the last inning and was dynamite, by far the best catcher on the team. And regardless of how much I think she is an asset in the field, she is also an asset behind the plate. (just not a big fan of catching, been there done that). Most of the girls on the team have never played any kind of ball before, but they actually played pretty well. Most of the errors were because the head coach never really taught them what to do in a game situation, he now knows what he needs to go over at the next practice. By my surprise my niece Elora went 3 for 4 and played amazing in the field and she is one who had never played before. It must be in the genes!!! Oh and the best part, Taylor is #3, Her Mommy's number!!! I can't wait till their next game on Saturday, I know they can beat that team this time!!! GO VIPERS!!

I only ended up getting pics of her in the field. While she was hitting, I was too busy screaming and cutting my hand on the fence because I was so excited!!!

Happy Easter!!!!!

Mommy had to work but the kids had a nice Easter morning with Daddy. The Easter bunny left the kiddos nice Easter baskets. They all loved what they got. Daddy called Mommy at work so that she could share in the surprise while they discovered their baskets.
