August 2009

August is always a busy month for us as we finish out the summer. We went to Disneyland on Kaden & Ashlyn's actual birthdays, went on an overnight beach trip, had family in town, soccer started and we were getting ready for school to start.
Glad we bought the extra long wagon way back when Kaden turned one. Who knew we would be hauling this much stuff around for a day out on the beach.Kaden spent a lot of the summer out on the shoreline & in the water. It's funny because he hates the sun but would spend forever out on the beach. He never gets enough.
Everywhere we go people comment on how good of a baby Scarlet is. She really is an easy baby...well at least about as easy as they get. She finally lifted her body off the ground. She was scooting around and could get everywhere she needed to go. She turned 6 months mid August & it's really going by too fast for me.
All Kaden wanted to do for his birthday was go bowling. He turned 5 this year & is becoming such a big boy. He's a great big brother, a wonderful son & we are really proud of all of his efforts. Kaden learned how to read & ride a bike this summer. We worked on shoe tying but I really think his strengths are in other areas...maybe next summer;-) Ashlyn turned 3 a couple of weeks later & she still amazes me. We got her this doll house for her birthday because she has such a big imagination. She is really starting to blossom into a little girl. Her speech is becoming very clear, she loves playing with her big brother & little sister, she is very eager to learn, and has the most love and passion for everybody & every little thing in her life. I'm really going to miss her toddler years.
