One week until vacation! We're so excited to head to Bull Shoals, Arkansas. It will be Kaden's second trip there (the first one he was only a month old). This time we'll be able to take him in the lake to go swimming. We will also have time this year to go to the caverns which were closed in November.
Ryan works from now until the morning we leave so this trip will be a good break for him. I have the usual work week including training for some big names on campus. Saturday night I'll be going to my friend's bachelorette party.
Tomorrow Kaden turns 8 months old. I can't believe how fast it has gone. He's up to 21 pounds and is eating baby food about twice a day. We haven't found a food that he won't eat although he has made some funny faces with some very tart fruits.
Kaden isn't quite crawling yet. He's rolling all over the place and almost doing an army crawl but hasn't gone forward. It's strange because he can do a push up (yes, he actually get up on his toes and hands) but he can't go forward.
That's all I have for now. Life is good.

Family Photos
So I've been a little lax with posting lately. We recently had our family photos taken and here's a few of the ones they took.

Yard Work
I was exhausted after working all the graduation ceremonies yesterday so naturally that means that Kaden decides to wake up at 7 am. No sleep for the weary. I was able to take a nap for an hour after Kaden had his first bottle of the day.
We decided to do some yard work today. We had tomato plants last year but only produced about a dozen or so tomatoes. The two trees in our backyard grew so much over the summer that they cast almost constant shade over the garden. This year we decided to move the garden to the other side of the yard. He was such a hard worker today. He moved the garden to a different location in the yard, tilled the ground, planted the tomatoes, mowed the grass in the old garden, moved the wood rack (which was full) and swept off the patio. Where was I the whole time? Holding the baby. I did take some time out to pound in some nails that had popped out of the fence. I feel productive even though I didn't do much.
Kaden has been fussy for the past few days. Ryan and I think that he may be getting some more teeth in somewhere. He hasn't cut any new ones yet, but I think they're coming.
We had family pictures taken on Thursday and I'll be posting some of them soon. They were all very good and Kaden behaved very well through the whole shoot.

23 Hours
WSU held graduation this weekend. I'm on a leadership committee that helps out with commencement every semester. There were 2 ceremonies Friday and 4 ceremonies Saturday. Between the two days I volunteered close to 23 hours. I'm beat, worn out and sore. One of our other leadership members wore a pedometer and logged about 8 miles over the two days. I can't think anymore words to type. Brain and body hurt. Need sleep.

Happy Mother's Day
I've had a wonderful and busy Mother's Day. I received a card and a new copy of Twilight to add to my collection from my adoring husband. I had the cable repair guy over to try to fix the cable. (They'll have to come back later since the apparent problem is in the master bedroom.) Kaden and I went to Walmart, got groceries and got the oil changed in my car. We came back to the house and cooked food for the dinner at my parent's house. Did some laundry then went over to my parents for dinner. I'm exhausted and still have a load or two of laundry left. Blech.
This week is going to go by too quickly. I work three days, get one day off, then work 6 graduation ceremonies. Yes that's 6 ceremonies! 12:30 pm to 7 pm on Friday and 6 am to 6 pm on Saturday. It's going to be busy, but at least I'll get to see Ryan and Kaden on Thursday.
I do look forward to June when Ryan, Kaden and I will have a family reunion at our aunt and uncle's place in Bull Shoals, Arkansas. Looking forward to vacation always makes work seem to go by faster.
