T-BALL SEASON WAS SO MUCH FUN!

His first trophy in all of history.

Caiden was able to play on the city's T-Ball league. He loved being able to hit the ball and run the bases. I think his most favorite part of all was sliding into home plate and seeing how many grass stains he could get each game. He was so proud of his grass stains!

His team was the Angels. It was a rough team to play on though... There were 3 kids that were ADHD. Talk about trying to keep kids focused on the game and not on butterflies, fire ant piles, fly balls from the other games across the field. It taught me some patience that's for sure!

Here is Caiden getting his medal and his trophy from Coach Mandibon. He and his wife were so good with all of the children. They were great examples to the children. We loved their dedication to the kids.

This is Caiden jumping for joy.... HOME RUN!!!

Caiden,

Good Job little buddy. You were amazing in your first year of T-Ball. I loved seeing you grow and improve as you worked hard. You are such a special young man and I am blessed to have you as my son. Keep up your love of learning new things and you will be able to accomplish anything you desire. ♥ Mom and Dad

~Good Bye New Mexico~ Hello Texas!

We have enjoyed our new yard. It is getting soooo green now. Can't wait to do some back yard camping. Wahoo.

~Just what I needed~

As moms we have great concerns over the welfare of our children. Caiden is very sensitive to my emotions and is always willing to take the time to make others feel better.
As I was crying one morning, Caiden came up to me, patted me on the back and said "Be right back, I know just what I need to clear those tears up."
He came back with a huge collection of soft fluffy tissues. He was right, it was just what I needed.
It was his love that helped dry up my tears.

~Learning to Love Public Speaking~

Living in such a small area has been a blessing for the many opportunities that we have received to speak in sacrament meeting.
Caiden has been recruited 3 times already. Most adults don't even have to speak 3 times in such a short period of time. He is just learning to read, but already has such a firm love of the scriptures. I am so proud of him for being willing to get up in front of the congregation and give his small and simple talks filled with his sweet testimony of Jesus Christ.
Caiden also sang "I am a child of God." It is his favorite song and to hear him sing is like listening to the voice of a small angel.

Caiden~ You once again amazed me. I am so proud of you. You have become so good at being able to get up in front of people and give it your very best. Your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love you too. ♥Mom

Thank You Uncle Shane

Caiden's Uncle Shane made him the coziest blanket for Christmas. He was so excited to have one of his very own works of art.
Thank you to my fabulous brother in law Shane for making my little guys Christmas comfy cozy.

The Problem Is.....

Scott and Caiden were busy working out a couple of nights ago. Caiden is learning how to do chin-ups just like his daddy. It was Scott's turn on the bar and I had made the comment that as he was hanging there his arms looked like could just pop off.

Caiden said this profound statement..... "You know what the problem would be if you didn't have any arms? (What?)
You wouldn't have any place for your watch.
You also wouldn't have anything to put through the arm-holes in your shirt."

So true right?
