More Pics From the Dunes

These are some pictures that my mom took after my camera ran out of batteries.

The Dunes

We went up and visited my parents for a couple of days during the annual Thanksgiving dunes trip.  Caden had fun playing in the sand. but we spent a lot of time inside of the toy hauler because it was super windy most of the time.  Matt went on a couple of rides in the rail, but I guess that isn't so much fun when it's windy either.  I wouldnt've thought that it would've made much of a difference since you have sand flying at you anyways but apparently it does.  It was nice to relax and hang out by the campfire though.  My camera ran out of batteries, so these are the only pictures that I got.

Brrrrr So Cold!

It's finally gotten cold around here (Well really only cold in the morning and at night.  It's really nice during the day.  I guess that's Arizona for you.).  Caden was so cold that he had to put his robe on in the morning. :)



Caden Was a Busy Boy Today!

These pictures were all taken within a couple of hours this afternoon.  I think that he is just trying to keep me on my toes!

Baby Grant

Matt's sister Janeille had her baby, Grant, yesterday.  He was born a week early via c-section, and he was still 9 lbs 10 oz and 21 inches.  He is so cute and looks like a little chipmunk with his chubby cheeks. 



Happy Halloween!!

Caden was the cutest duck ever for Halloween!  I was a little worried that it might look a little girly, was he was so dang cute that I couldn't stand it!  

 Here he is doing the chicken dance.

 Here is the back of his costume.  The tail moved back and forth, so it looked like he was waddling when he walked.  It was adorable!

Caden with my brother Mikey.  He was a little scary looking!

Short Road Trip

Today we drove up to Payson with my parents just for the day,  We went to Tonto Natural Bridge which is an awesome place to go if you have never been there!  There is a natural bridge with a little waterfall running off of it, and a creek underneath.  We hiked down to the creek and splashed in the water a little bit.  It was so beautiful and the weather was awesome!

 My Parents



Caden loved splashing in the water even though it was freezing cold.

We also went to the fish hatchery which is about 20 miles east of Payson.  They breed the fish and release them into the lakes for fishing.  They had a bunch of tanks with fish of various sizes, and a pond with a bunch of huge fish. 

When we fed the big fish they started jumping like crazy and fighting over the food.  It was all gone in like 5 seconds. 

Caden just wanted to put his hand in the water.  You're not supposed to, but he couldn't reach anyways.  Matt was just making sure that he didn't fall in.

Climber

Caden has been trying to get up on the couch for awhile now, but he's not quite tall enough to get his knee up there without any help.  Imagine my surprise when I went into my bedroom yesterday to find him up on my bed.  He figured out that if he climbs onto the chest at the bottom of the bed then he can get onto the bed.  He was quite pleased with himself.  The only problem is that he is too scared to get down by himself, so he sits there and screams until I come and get him.  Today he was trying to get onto one of the kitchen chairs.  I think that I am in trouble now!

Sea Life Aquarium

I went with my mom and Caden to the Sea Life Aquarium at Arizona Mills on my birthday.  I've been wanting to go and Matt's been avoiding it, so I thought that it would be the perfect time to go.  It was okay, but honestly I'm glad that I had a B1G1 free coupon.  I think that we only spent like 45 minutes there.  Caden wasn't too interested in looking at the fish.  He mostly just wanted to run around which is pretty much what I expected.  He is very busy.  Also it's pretty dark in there, and you can't use flash.  That's why the pictures aren't very good.

 Some of the tabks had this bubble in the middle, so you could stick your head in.  It was actually pretty cool to get a close up look at the fish from th e middle of the tank.  Here is my mom.



Caden was actually quite amused by this.  He kept trying to touch everything. 

Caden checking out the sharks.  There was one part where you could walk through this tunnel and there was water all around you and there were little sharks in there.
