Having Fun with a Bad Situation

Many of you know about our backyard fiasco. To make a very long story short, we haven't had a backyard to play in yet because it is too wet. The builders tried a couple of things last summer that never worked, so they are trying something new. We are hopeful this is the end and we have a beautiful green yard to play in soon.

Some good things have come because of this mess. Like...........

I got to sit on this "beet onj tacto" Translation=big orange tractor.

And I get to help mommy water the new plants out front. If our yard was normal, our sprinklers would do this for us, but now we have to fill this big orange bucket in the kitchen and haul it outside. I'm going to miss doing this!

Right now we do all our playing in the front yard which is entertaining because they are building more houses down the street. Ellis and I love watching the big trucks drive by.



When all the hard work and playing outside is done, we like to relax and watch a little Cars.

Smarter by the Day!

Kaden can count to 10 all on his own! It first happened on Saturday afternoon. He was having a snack when he decided to give it a try. Mommy had been working on counting to 3 with him, but he thought he'd blow her away and go all the way to 10! He gets a little confused at 4 sometimes, but he quickly recovers. Notice he's always in his booster seat in videos?!?! It's because it's the only place he'll sit still!

I am working on perfecting my drumming skills. I like to drum on anything! I can even drum on command! Here I am drumming on a ball.
