Help is on the way

So my blog looks funny with the wording well I asked my best friend Kerilyn to help me with this problem so I am waiting for a return email to help fix this funny looking problem. So bear with me till I fix this. Also I am a bad mommy and forgot to put in my last blog that Kaden pooped on the potty again today. He did it Friday for Bill and me today. So we are giving potty training a whirl again full force in February! So I hear people having problems getting their kids to poop on the potty Kaden is fine with that just not peeing yet so we will work on that. Our peditrician said wait till he is 2 &1/2 or 3 but if we can start now and he is willing why not. She just thought summer is the best time with less clothes on but with the baby coming in June we want to get this done before that so stay tuned for updates on the progress.

Relax and Enjoy!

Hello All! What a great weekend. It started on Friday when Bill and I went for our ultrasound to see the baby! Baby is doing fine and moving alot. We were unable to find out what we were having since the umbillicord (spelling wrong?)was in the way. But we have a pretty good guess which I won't share with all of you but we think we know. Anyhow so my dad came over in the morning to watch Kaden which he slept until 9 and we were home by 9:30 but he had fun anyhow. I would have loved to see his face when Grandpa walked in his home instead of mommy or daddy that would have been priceless! So then after that I was off to my scrapbook weekend with my sister. This was in Eau Claire. We had a really nice time. We did miss our kids like crazy but for the weekend we were ok. Sunday we did get up early and left right after breakfast to get home sooner. It is a 3 1/2 hour trip from Appleton then I had 1 hour drive home on top of that so we had a long drive and we just wanted to get home. Crazy I know but the kids are our world and we missed them lots. Our husbands ok maybe a little as well! :) But anyhow it was fun we got up there Friday around 2 ish and then we started in scrapbooking until 10 that night and tried to sleep but Jen and I stayed up and laughed and talked till midnight and our 2 other roommaates Collette and Sue stayed up till 4 ish scrapbooking! Talk about die hards! Good job ladies!!! :) Then we got up early Saturday and ate and stared scrapbooking again till our massage that was really nice and relaxing and came back to scrapbook some moe and then we sat in the whirlpool tubs they had there as well. We got all our scrapbooking done by 10ish on Saturday night and we just stayed up to watch some tv and relax before bed and had some good entertainment by 2 ladies that has a bit to much to drink and were playing truth or dare! I laughed so hard at those 2 it was great. Saturday was the best day everyone warmed up to each other and we all talked and got along really well and laughed and talked stupid. It was alot of fun and we got alot done. I hope next year will be just as fun I think Jen and I will make this a yearly thing us 2 sisters for the weekend and then I will have my sister-in-law weekend as well that I will be able to enjoy since I was still unde rthe weather with morning sickness for that this year. So I think that was everything I did include pictures more to come we took a group picture and also a picture of our roommates as well I don't have those yet they should be emailed in a few days I think. But a great time we had! the pictures are of Collette and Sue our 2 roommates and also Tonya who set this whole thing up and of course my sister and our work area and then our bedroom as well. Till next time Good day!

excuse me

Soore my layout does not work I need to work on fixing this but not till Monday! SorrY! Busy busy weekend yeah!!!!!!!!!

tubby time!

Here are some pictures from bath time with the toy that Jen and Ken and Kam got Kaden. He finds it pretty cool! So now lets get up to date on this since I am far behind. This past week we went to Mcdonls for Kadens birthday on Wednesday I wanted to do something special for him since I had to work that night so him and I went to lunch and let him play in playland which he liked alot! Thursday we had his party up by Bills parents since his family is large so I also included pictures from that as well with his crazy cousins and his grandma and grandpa Krapfl Kaden is acting silly also! So that is all done now and our baby is offically 2 now! :( They grow so fast. Friday we had is 2 year check up and he is 37 lbs and 37 inches tall. All is good in the 100th percentile on almost everything as expected he was that already at birth and now slowing down! :) No shots since he has a little cold doctor wanted him healthy for his chicken pox vaccination since it is a live virus and his rubella shot is now available right now so those are the only ones he needed and those she said can wait till is 3 year or we will see her before then anyhow with the baby so he could get it then also. So that was it he did good and looks good! And then after that we took "Rocket" to Appleton to his new home with a friend of Jen's she took him and it looks promising he has not had any accidents in the house yet there so I hope he adjusts well and all will be ok. I feel so bad like he thinks he is not wanted or loved and that is so far from the truth. I just have such a soft spot for animals and I don't think Bill appreciates that and does not understand how much I just want to help these animals feel loved and wanted. But he won this battle and I found him a new home. So I worked today and now I have off for the rest of the weekend I am going to church in the morning and then just vegging at home with Bill and Kaden. I am gone next weekend on my scrapbooking weekend with my sister so I want to spend ALOT of family time this week since leaving will be hard for me! But I have to do it for the sanity of me. I am feeling better now so I have to take advantage of it now! So that is up to date now enjoy the pictures and have a great rest of the weekend and I will post again soon I hope else when I get back from my trip! I have the ultrasound Friday morning before I leave on the trip so I may have some news to pass along after that but it won't be till I get home Sunday so tune it later ! Till then good night!

Kadens Party!

Yesterday we had Kaden's 2nd birthday party. We had a really nice time, we just had grandparents and sponsers since Bills family is big we just don't have enough room for all of them and the kids. So we are celebrating again on Thurdsday by Bills parents they have a bigger house and most of us are up there on Thursdays for traditional supper night. So anyhow Kaden had a tractor theme party and he LOVED it! A friend from work made the cake and that was wonderful! Kaden got alot of nice gifts cow bowling and a mariocart t-shirt from Corey and Sheila, and from Auntie Jen he got a bubble maker for the tub (idea from Becky)and money for is savings account and from Grandma and Grandpa Z money for Kadens account that they set up for him at birth and also a hunting set with a gun,bow and arrow and walkie talkies (my dad is a hunter :) ) and from grandma and grandpa k he got a little people farm lego set and also a little car garage ramp thing and a gift of money for his piggy bank. So thanks everybody for all the nice gifts! So his "real birthday" is Wednesday and I think I will ask a few neighbor friends and a friend from work to go to McDonalds for a play date and let the kids play in playland for his birthday. And then Thursday clebrate again! To see Kadens face light up when we sang Happy Birthday to him was great it brought tears to my eyes to see him oh so happy! Then Corey and Sheila stayed after and we played cards while Kaden took a late nap and had supper with us and that was nice as well just to sit and visit again! So today we are just relaxing and enjoying Kaden playing with his new toys! Bills sister just called and we get "Rocket" back the dog we were keeping for a little while he apparently his NOT potty trained so now I will have to do that so any ideas will be great on how to train a 3 year old dog else we may have to find another home for him if this does not work. I will have to investigate the internet the easiest way to do that. So that is all for now I better get studying Good bye for now enjoy all the pictures!

ALREADY?

Well our little boy is going to be 2 already! We had his 2 year pictures taken on Saturday and what a treat that was. He only wanted to do what he wanted to do. The start was ok but he realized after each picture it appears on a screen to look at well that was a distraction for him but we did get some nice pictures anyhow. Other than that our weekend has been relaxing! How nice Friday night we went grocery shopping and then Saturday pictures and today nothing much just cleaning a little around the house and getting ready for next weekend which is Kadens b-day party. His birthday is not until the 21st but that weekend I work so we had to do it before his birthday. For the upcoming week I will just be cleaning some more just touching up a few things and getting ready for the party. Friday Bill plays cards and I have to go get the meat and get the balloons blown up as well so Friday will be alot of running but that is ok with me. I like this kind of stuff it is fun for me. Well we are also going to look at getting Kaden a big boy bed a full size bed so we can transition him out of the crib before the baby comes. I am fearful of how that will work but we will give it a shot. Luckly Kaden can not open doors yet only close them so once he is down for the night or his nap he will have to stay in his room at least. I think we will go with a tractor theme room since he loves tractors!! So if anyone knows of someone selling a full size bed minus the matterss I will definetily get a new one of those let me know. Else we will just invest in a new bed. Well that is all I have for today. Stay warm this week is going to be bitterly cold!!! Brrrrrrrr!!!!!

2009

2009 already! Well it has been a hit and miss year thus far. Kaden has had the flu on and off since Christmas finally this weekend he stopped throwing up! I am not sure how much more of that I could have taken. It is hard when there is nothing you can do to stop the pain they feel. So thank goodness that is done. I was under the weather yesterday felt like puking thankfully I never did but just yucky much better today. So anyhow to get caught up New Years Eve I worked till 5 then we went to The Pizza Ranch in Waupun they always have good food and buffet can't go wrong with that! Yummy! And after that we went to Corey and Sheila's and played the Wii video games we did golf,bowling, and tennis. That was fun. And watched the ball drop at midnight and called it a night. A long night for prego here! Way past my bedtime! Then got up and went to get Kaden from my parents I so worried about him thinking we was going to get sick over there since one day he is fine and the next he is not but he was good so that was nice to hear. And then the rest of the weekend we just hung out Thursday we went up to Bills parents to give Bills sister Becky the dog we had for a few days "Rocket" she is nice enough to take him for us since Bill said he does not want another dog and with baby on the way maybe he is right. So we did that and played dominoes Mexican train that is alot of fun I am on the look out for that game set! Then Friday we went sledding with the neighbors and Renee and Maria and Maddison and Mike and his daughter Seiarrah came up as well so we went for maybe and hour and that was enough way to cold!!! And then Saturday back to the pizza ranch for supper and now I am pizzed out! So that is all that is going on thus far in 2009. Hope you all had a great New Years as well. Till we meet again! Good day! (PS. I can not figure out how to get the pictures turned and saved to show up decent on the blog sorry for the sideways pictures, This picture is Kaden and daddy going down the hill at The gun club outside of Kekoskee!)
