Happy Birthday Kaiden

I can't believe my little man turns 3 today! We celebrated with the whole family last night, and boy did we have fun! Kaiden got a plethora of new dinosaurs, dragons and sharkies! He has a spot in his closet called "dinosaur alley" which is where all these new creatures have just moved in. He also go a new table and chairs for his room, which he is pretty excited about!





As just an extra note, Kaiden has had several successful potty trips. Sure, he's still having accidents, but 3 successes in one day is something to get very excited about. Hopefully within the next couple months we'll be back down to one kid in diapers!

Updates

I realized that it's been over a month since our last post, so I decided I needed to get my act together and mention what we've been up to lately!
One of the benefits to living in Eagle Mountain is (prepare for a shocker!)...the eagles! I knew that they were out here because everyone else has seen them, but until about a week and a half ago, I hadn't seen any. The first couple I saw were standing on a dead cow (gross, I know!) The very next day I saw another one standing in the middle of the field of cows. I would almost say that they were vultures, rather than hunting their own food, they're standing there waiting for it to come to them. Lazy creatures! Anyway, in Fairfield, just across the valley from the city center, is where the eagles must be living at the moment. Nathan had gone with Chris and Kelli on Saturday while I was at work and they got some amazing pictures. I was super jealous and made him take me this week. It was so spectacular! Between golden and bald, we counted 15 that trip. We also saw a couple of wild bunnies and stopped to tell them they should hide because they are hopping around with a nice, shiny target on their backs in that area! :) I hope the eagles stick around for a while longer so I can see some more!
The snow around here is finally starting to melt and we can see grass again for the first time in over a month! Nathan is getting really anxious to get out there and start working on the yard. We have endless possibilities with the back yard. Before the snow melted I did get a couple good pictures of our resident snow bunnies!
The last couple weeks I've been working long hours on Saturday to get caught back up after taking so much time off around Christmas. Since this is Nathan's only day off, he really has been enjoying getting some quality time with the kiddos. Last week they made a fort, which by looking at the pictures, seems to have been quite a success!
Not too much has gone on in January, but February is always crazy with 5 immediate family birthdays! Kaiden will be 3 this month, so stay tuned in for an update on that!
