thanksgiving 2008

So my parents came to visit for Thanksgiving. It was great having them here. My parents left on Friday November 21, they were suppose to leave around noon, but left at 4 AM to get here sooner. They called us to figure out exactly how to get to the house and when I went to check on Kade I saw them in front of our house!! It was great to have to get in around 5 instead of midnight!! Then we just hung out the next week, shopping and fixing up our kitchen!! Dad and Jason worked on the kitchen, and it looks SO nice. Mom and I did a good bit of shopping. On Wednesday evening Aaron and Jenny came over and stayed the night, and then on Thursday Kerri came. Aaron and Jenny went to her grandmother's house for thanksgiving dinner while mom, dad, Jason, Kerri, myself and Kade had dinner here. Mom and I cooked what seemed like all day!! It was some good food tho!! It was really nice to have my parents here for Kade's first thanksgiving! Wish we could have EVERYBODY here for his first Christmas. the one person that was not here that I would have loved to have here was my brother, but they are going to come visit soon!! On Friday my mom and I went shopping, but we did not get up at 4 AM, well I was up but that was to feed Kade. We went out around 10 and we got everything we wanted and a little more. There were a lot of ppl but mom and I have shopping black Friday SO much that we are use to it! Kade did really well too!! He had his first picture with Santa and he also went to a restaurant for the first time Friday!! On Saturday we all just hung out, mom and I did a little more shopping and we watch the Auburn/Alabama game. Mom and Dad got up Sunday morning and headed home which I was not ready for. I didn't want them to leave. This past week went by WAY too fast. I miss them already!! We will be going to AL at some point this summer, and I am looking forward to that. I am also looking forward to seeing my brother and his family in the couple of months I hope. they are going to fly up here!! I cannot wait to see them!! Now it is back to normal for a few weeks and then we will have the Smith family here for Christmas. Looking forward to that!!

Time Flies

Kade is now one month old!! Time flies and I don't like it. I cannot believe he is one month already. It does not seem like a month ago I had him. He has been such a good baby and growing so much!! Last time we went to the doctor which was Nov 11, he weighted in at 9 pounds 11 ounces!!! He gained a whole pound since we was born. I have no idea what he weights now, but I am sure it is close to 11 pounds!! LOL He is my pride and joy and I love him so much. I never knew I could love somebody so fast and SO much. I will have to say that I am ready to have another one already. I want him to have a little brother or sister soon!! Yea I know it's crazy, but it was a good pregnancy and labor and I am totally loving this mom thing!! It is awesome!!

Smith Family Visit

So Peggy and Earl flew in on friday evening and left today! Aaron, Jenny, Kerri, and Grandma Welch all came too. It was great seeing them and seeing them with Kade. Peggy we very excited to see Kade and I had to fight her to get my son! It was just a great weekend all in all. We hung out at the house and played pool. I beat Earl SO many times in pool! LOL Peggy, Jenny, Grandma, Kade and myself went shopping. Peggy got Kade an OSU shirt and socks. Oh yea Jenny got him the OSU blaket too! Kade's shirt says BABY... Born A Buckeye YEAH!! LOL Like I said all in all it was a great weekend and I miss having ppl here.

My parents are coming in just a over, and I will be nice to have them here.

Kade

So Monday will be 3 weeks ago that we had Kade and it is flying by. I want time to slow down so that i can take in every minute of his life. It makes me sad to think that he is almost 3 weeks old. I know it's lame but well that's me at the moment. I cannot stop staring at him when he is asleep or screaming his head off, either way I love him and dont want him to grow up too fast. So I am a little weepy but oh well. its not too bad but sometimes I will just be sitting here and look at him and cry, its totally not me, but then again I am a new mom. Well, that is all for now.
