Paycen turns ONE

Opening his new school bus...Kaden's new favorite toy!!


Paycen tackles his new spiderman ball and rolls all over the floor with it in tow.

Chewing the head of his new dinosaur.

Chocolate Dinosaur Cake

Paycen was very polite while munching his cake.

He just ate little crumbs at a time.

Happy Birthday little Paycee. You sure are growing up too fast. Thanks for making all us smile with your deep set dimples and big blue eyes. We love you so much!!

Christmas Picture MANIA

Decorating the Tree

Kaden gently hanging the ornaments

Paycen eating the ornaments Kaden just hung


Seriously Kade! How many Candy Canes do you think will fit on one branch?


Thanks to Paycen, the ornaments (especially those glass balls) eventually got moved to the top half of the tree


Finished project! Our best looking tree ever, thanks to Tyrel for finding it in the mountains.

Christmas Eve

The boy cousins (Treston, Kaden, and Jacob) acting as wise men with Uncle Travis as designated camel.

Showing off their huge muscles while jumping on Grandma's bed


Santa and Mrs. Clause.

Christmas Morning

Santa came! The boys' stockings!


Kaden's new bike. Paycen was literally drooling all over it!!


Paycen got a busy ball popper which happens to be Kaden's new favorite toy.

A little Puppy Love for Paycen!

Helicopter says "Are you ready for your mission?"

Kaden replies "Yes I am!"

Excited for his new monster

"This tie is not for me Mommy. It's for my monster!" says Kaden!

Christmas was super fun this year. Kaden was a professional present opener. Paycen of course loved the wrapping paper and bows. We were able to see all our family and enjoy lots of good food. I am grateful for the new year and the opportunity to make it a Great One!!
