Welcome back...

to the blogging world! Yes, I know, it's been a whole month. You all know the excuses I'm gunna use- going back to Idaho (again), work, busy with kids, yadda yadda yadda...

So we got back from our Idaho trip in July, and went back again in August for a funeral. Here was Jaden's highlight of the second trip...

FISHING WITH GRANDPA! Only this time they caught one!!! My dad came home from work one night and Jaden was all over him to take out the boat and go fishing. Do you think Grandpa could turn that down? No way!!!

Just look at both of their proud faces! (ok, they might not both be wearing them in the same picture) Jaden was so excited when they caught one! He said, "Let's go home and cook it!!". So sneaky Beeda and Pa went to the grocery store and bought some fish. When they got home, I distracted him and they let the fish go, and put the grocery store one on the grill. Jaden was a little disappointed he didn't get to "see his bones and pull them out".

What else have we missed out on??? Jaden's first day of Kindergarden!!! He has always loved school (bet u can't tell), and I hope that never changes. I remember his first day of preschool when he was 3 years old, he was SO disappointed he didn't get to go to school on the bus. :)

I had to get the shirt, that's totally Jaden!!! "I'm kind of a BIG DEAL". The other school shirt we got him has a mirror image that says "You Are Handsome". Funny!

I've been in the process of doing both kids' rooms. KynnLee's is going to be in Strawberries and Ballerinas. I actually found some fabric with Strawberry Shortcake Ballerina!! It's super cute! It says "Tutu cute"... and it IS!!

I gave Jaden the choice between Trains, Lightening McQueen, or fish. I should have known it would be a no-brainer...

FISH-all-the-way!

I actually tried to get him to choose one of the others because I thought the color of his bed would be hard to match to fish, but it's all good.

Boy did we SCORE the cutest fish decor!!! I brought it all back from Idaho, it was in Beeda's basement, used to be in Kade's room. It was just sitting there waiting for Jaden to take it :).

I'll have to take some up close pics of everything. But we had it all put up in his room when he got home from Kindergarden. He LOVES it!! He'll go in there and play (very carefully!) with some of the stuff. And he's so stinkin observant... "why do I have 2 of those?". I think we just need to throw some paint on the walls in there and we're pretty much done!! How easy was that??

Another thing we've been waiting for... Jaden's caterpillars!!

When they arrived I felt like Sid on Toy Story.... "They CAME!!! THEY FINALLY CAME!!!"

Micalla gave him a butterfly garden for his birthday (she just held onto it so we could bring it back!). The caterpillars took forever to arrive. I guess when you place the order, they harvest the eggs (or whatever) and then send them when they're grown a little. I think it's almost time to move them from the cup into the butterfly garden.

We'll keep you posted!
