<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kaden and I got season passes to the Zoo for Christmas, and we hadn't used them...until yesterday. We went with my friend Melanie & Kaden's friend Carson to the zoo. We've been to the zoo several times but I think this is the first time the boys actually knew what was going on and enjoyed it. Sometimes Kaden impresses me with how much he knows. He knows lots of animals, and the sounds they make. He had so much fun seeing the elephants, giraffes, & monkeys. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our neighborhood pool is not open, but as of today, the McMahon pool is. We kept the pool we had from last year, but when we brought it out for Kaden's party, we noticed it had a leak. Micah tried to fix it, but we didn't think it was going to make it. So, Sunday after church, we went with Uncle Ryan to his place of employment, and used his employee discount to buy a new pool! Yay for discounts!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After Kaden and I went for a walk this morning, we had dad inflate it for us. My plan was to fill it, and let it sit in the sun to warm up some while we did lunch & a nap, then play in the afternoon. That plan failed! As soon as I turned the water on, he was trying to climb in...shoes, clothes & all. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> While we were filling the pool, Dad decided to mow. And Kaden thought it was hilarious to chase daddy down with the hose! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Daddy is a good sport, and he let Kaden get him wet. Although, daddy is probably smart, because I'm guessing the cool water felt good while he was mowing!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">While he was playing, some clouds rolled in, and it cooled down a bit. But he did not want to get out. We went straight in from the pool to the bath tub. His little lips were purple, so we warmed up in the bath. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After daddy finished mowing, he sat in the pool with K. Kaden loved "swimming" with daddy. And, because mommy was apparently too dry, they ganged up on me to make sure I didn't stay that way! I'm sure we'll be spending lots of time in this pool this summer.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">**WARNING: This post contains a lot of pictures!**</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Between my camera, and our friend Serena's camera, we had about 850 pics. I narrowed it down to 23. You're welcome!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was going to break his birthday post down into a couple different posts--decor, food, activities, etc. But let's be honest, I haven't been all that great at blogging lately, so I feel like I should just do it all at once. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I started to think about a 2nd birthday party a couple of months ago, it was pretty easy to choose what theme we were going to go with. There's no question about how much Kaden loves trains, and I thought it would be so fun to throw a train-themed party. If I could have, I'd have had a train there, but we all have our limits! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I ordered <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/125605278/25-off-party-package-train-digital-file?ref=sr_gallery_1&ga_search_query=25%25+off+-+PARTY+package%2C+train+-+DIGITAL+file+-+&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">this set</span></a> of party decor from Etsy. I wasn't sure which set I liked most, but this one was on sale at the time. So that helped me make my decision. I loved that it had everything I needed...invites, thank yous, banners, etc. There's a lot that I didn't use, but I liked having the option to print & use whatever I wanted. The lady that made it for me was super nice & fast too! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made this wreath for our front door. We had the party in the backyard, for the most part, so most of the decor was back there.</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did make a couple banners to hang inside. On this buffet, we had the gifts, and a box of wooden train whistles that I ordered for everyone. They were super cheap on Amazon!</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also ordered, super cheap from Amazon, conductor hats for everyone. I didn't do party goody bags. Everyone took home a whistle, a hat & their train that they painted. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Outside I had a table set up for kids to paint their own train. We actually had more adults than kids, but all the kids that were there did paint. Some more than others! And some got a taste of the paint! :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's our food table outside. Above was a "Happy Birthday" banner. My favorite part was the train food server I made. It's the only thing I really wanted to make, and I had a hard time finding boxes that were the right size. But, when it was finally finished, I loved it. It had 5 cars: 2 produce cars (fruits & veggies), 1 coal car (mini Oreos), 1 log car (long pretzels), and 1 gravel car (Gardettos). We had an afternoon party, so we just had lots of snacks. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We had kids ranging from 1-6. When I started to think about planning his party, I would never have imagined I would have trouble having a water party in May...especially in Texas. Who would have thought that a cold front would come through the first week of May in south Texas?!? But...it did. We still had the water toys out, but initially it was pretty cool. It didn't keep the kids out of the water, but they were cold. The wind was chilly. By the end of the party, the wind had died down, and the sun was pretty hot. So the kids were in & out of the water the whole time. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today we had a "Mommy & Me" play date with our MOPS group. We went to one of the local fire stations. They gave us a tour of the fire station, talked about fire safety, and then let us explore the fire trucks. Kaden was a little young, but he loved seeing the fire trucks!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And climbing all over them...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> He did not, however, like when I put him in the firetruck with a fireman, and walked away to take his pic.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> This fire truck is almost 100 years old, and the men are working to restore it. Kaden got to "drive" it & ring the bell. He thought he was big stuff!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As we were leaving the station, they got a call, so we got to stand outside and watch them all jump in and head off. Lights, sirens, the whole bit! That was probably his favorite part...that, and the cool hat they gave him. He's normally not a hat wearing kid, but he wore it around the station. When I loaded him in his seat, I took it off, but as I was driving away, I looked back, and he had put it back on. Then he wore it through Target as I grabbed a few items. We had fun with our MOPS friends & the nice firemen!!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> A couple of weekends ago, a friend invited us to go to the small circus that had come to town. I'm not sure when the last time was that I went to the circus. I don't remember it at all, but I know I've been. So that tells you it's been a while. We weren't sure how Kaden would do, but he loved it. He sat & watched the whole time. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Before the circus started, they had animals out that you could ride. We put Kaden on the horses. He thought he was big stuff!! He loved it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The last time Micah's parents were in town, they bought this little basketball net for K. He loves "baketball." Although at first I'll admit I wasn't sure about our new kitchen decor, it has come in pretty handy. *Most* nights it keep K out from under my feet while I'm trying to cook dinner. And we've had several family games of "baketball." K was really good at shooting the ball, until his daddy adjusted the height of the net, now it's thrown his game off. But we still have fun playing. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you know us at all, you know that our little guy has a love for all things trains! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This in no knew news. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our little town has a small train museum. I wasn't sure that there would be anything that K would be old enough to appreciate, other than just looking at the two rail cars they have...which turned out to be enough! I went with hopes of getting a good picture of him for his birthday party invites.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We're having a train themed party..Surprise!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I wasn't able to get the pics I hoped because we couldn't just freely walk around the area. It was a guided tour. However, we were the only people there, and the little, old man that gave us the tour loved K & loved watching him explore & shout "train" every time he saw one!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, I did get some good pics. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> And when we walked into this room filled with a full set-up, K was in Heaven! He so wanted to grab all the trains as they went by, but he was so fascinated watching. Every time, and I mean every time, a train went by, he <i>shouted</i> train! And there were several trains in there! A man spent 30 years building this set. (you only see a small part of it here.) He did everything, including painting the backgrounds. He had no family, so when he died, his neighbors called the museum to come get it.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kaden got this little tractor from Grammy & Papa for Christmas. He always wanted to play on it when we went into Academy, so they thought he *needed* it. When Micah first put it together, Kaden wasn't actually that interested in it. He'd sit on it, and turn the blinkers on, or honk the horn, but if we tried to make it move, he'd freak out.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> So, we didn't force him. But then little by little, he wanted to explore a little more. At first we had to hold the "gas" down for him. He couldn't figure it out. The he figured out how to push the gas, but he didn't realize he had to hold it down. I think he thought once his pushed it and it moved, he could let go.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> But now he's got it down! And he loves it! I usually stick him in the cul-de-sac, and turn the wheel, so he just goes in big circles. However, we have been known to take it for a spin to the mail box down the street. And if I don't keep an eye on him, he tries to take off. He loves his tractor... it's definitely "Kaden Approved!!"</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">A few weeks ago (I'm a little behind in blogging) I used I recipe I found <a href="http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=sidewalk+chalk+paint" style="color: orange;">here</a> to make some sidewalk chalk paint. As you know, K is not big on getting his hands dirty, but he'll paint with a brush all day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">So that's what we did!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kaden has a small obsession with trains (and anything else with wheels) these days. He LOVES his shoo shoos. We were going to get him a train table for Christmas, but I couldn't see spending $150-$200 dollars on a table, so the day after Christmas I started scouting Craigslist. I found this beauty with all the tracks, buildings, trees, etc for only $60. I think this is the best Craigslist purchase by far!! He will walk around the table to play with the trains, but usually he ends up on the table, and right in the middle of the track! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello, my name's Nicole and I run this blog....although, not very well lately. I was in a little bit of a blogging funk right before Christmas, and then noticed how I just waited until Christmas and the New Year blew over so that I didn't have to feel the pressure of doing all the typical blog post. Christmas, New Years, Top 10 of 2012, etc.... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Maybe one day in the near future I'll go back and do them....maybe. Or maybe I'll pretend that now is the beginning of a new year, and I'm already off to a good start! :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, I'm not sure about where you live, but around here the weather has been yucky lately. Lots of rainy, cool, muggy days. I was putting a bunch of pics from the month of December on my computer, and I found these. We had been cooped up in the house for several days, and we decided on the first decent day to take Kaden to the park to run off some energy. I love his little (& big) smiles!! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> We had our first encounter with Santa this year. No tears, but definitely no smiles. My mom sat him in Santa's lap, and I was ready with the camera. I wanted to capture the moment even if it was with tears. Sometimes those pics are really cute & funny. He looked like he wanted to cry, but he didn't. I could never get all three of them looking at me. I was on a field trip with my mom's class at the health museum for kids. I had a whole row of mom's & teachers behind me trying to get pics too. We're going to Santa's Wonderland in CS this weekend, so we're going to attempt another pic. Maybe this time, he'll recognize that fuzzy white beard, and give us a smile. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remember me? I'm the one that started posting the "30 Days of Thankful" posts, got to day 7, then disappeared. Well, I'm still thankful & I'm back. To say I've been in a bit of a blogging funk, would be an understatement. I've just been so busy, but I'm trying to enjoy every moment of this holiday season! I think about blogging a lot, but that hasn't materialized lately. But, since I am so very blessed & thankful, I'm going to condense all "thankful" posts into one blog post. Here we go...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thankful for moments like this. When a sleepy, stuffy nosed little boy snuggles up just to rock with me in the chair & sing Itsy Bitsy Spider, or Jesus Loves Me. And then falls asleep. I love to cuddle with him. It happens so little these day. I'll happily snuggle & rock him to sleep as long as he'll let me. I never want to take these little moments for granted. They're too priceless!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We don't celebrate Halloween. Usually we have a church carnival or function. I hadn't really thought about a costume for K. I had tossed a few ideas around of costumes I might make, but wasn't sold on any of them. Then a friend of mine told me where there was a good sale, so I decide to pick up this sock monkey outfit. There was just one problem...K hates hats! And without the hat, it wasn't much of a costume...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I had him entertained for a few minutes with a sucker & his swing, but it didn't last long before he started ripping the hat off.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm thankful for my parents. I've always known they loved me, but I never realized how passionate that love was until I experience having a child myself. It makes it that much sweeter. I'm thankful they raised me to love God and the church. I'm so thankful that I live near them, and now that I'm grown, we can be friends too. And they're the best Grammy & Papa ever!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A day late.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm thankful for my Savior Jesus. I'm thankful for His grace, love & mercy. Romans 5:8 says "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." That is very good news. To know that even though I don't deserve it, Christ died for me and only desires a relationship with me. I remember sitting in a worship service right after K was born. I was sitting & holding him, admiring how much I was in love with him. In that moment, I felt like God whispered to me, "I love you that much & more." It overwhelms me how much I love my son, and it's even more overwhelming to think that God loves us so much more than that. I'm very thankful for that!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you read <a href="http://micahandnicole.blogspot.com/2012/10/grumpy-boy.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">this post</span></a>, then you know that Little Man has been a little grumpy lately. Tuesday was one of those days. He was just a little on the whiny side all day. I was doing my best to keep him entertained all day. He kept pointing to the box on his shelf that contains the colors, paints, etc. So I let him color. While he was content there, I came up with this idea. I grabbed a canvas, and painted this tree. (Don't judge me; I'm not an artist.) When he was done coloring, we headed outside.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Daddy was working outside, so we went to join him. I gave K the green, orange, red & yellow finger paints. I also gave him some brushes...you know Little Man doesn't like his hands dirty. We don't really have fall around here, but I was going for the fall tree look. I helped him a little...just with keeping his brush on the upper part of the canvas, and with showing him how to get started. I think he did pretty good. And I was proud of the little guy...he actually put his fingers in the paint. Just a little. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Finger" painting his first tree helped to keep him happy. And that made me happy! I'm also happy I have a new piece of hand-made, fall decor...made especially by little man! :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> There's a sure way to make him happy. It works every time.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> As soon as he was in the swing he was happy. He was perfectly content in the swing for a while, and we even played with the bubbles. But then that backfired....</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> He wanted to blow them on his own, and was frustrated when that didn't work and I wouldn't let him just play in the soapy bubbles. </span></div>
