New School Year!

So, we have 3 school days into the new school year (only 177 to go till summer) and it is going WAY better than last year. I feel so much less nervous and more confident in my skills as a teacher. Now that I have one year under my belt things just seem to be going smoother all around.

I'm not sure just how my class is going to be yet because they have all been so quiet. Just wait till they come out of their shells.....then I'll know just what kind of class I have. They seem like a nice group though...only one is standing out thus far as one who may challenge my every decision (gotta love those). Now matter what I say he tries to think of a way to get around it.

The last few weeks I've been dreading going back to school but now I feel like I'm back in the swing of things. I actually like going to work and the days go by so fast. Plus we had school 3 days this week and we already have a 4 day weekend. One of the big pros of being a teacher....lots of days off throughout the year to spend with my family!

More Boobies!

Ok, today my mini boob man was laying on me and giving me a hug. I love when he cuddles up with me. Well, his head is on my chest and his hand is around me. Before I know it his hand slowly slides up and completely covers my boob. Which I just think, "Ok, he's doesn't realize where his hand is he is just giving me a hug." I couldn't be more wrong. And how do I know that wasn't was he was doing? He tells me! "Mommy, I am touching your boob!" What the heck! He's obsessed!

Boobies!!!

I stopped getting dressed in front of Kaiden about a year ago when he became obsessed with my boobs. This occured after he asked to touch them one day. He did ask nicely. He said, "Mommy can I please touch your boobs?" To which I promptly replied, "No!" Atleast he asked first and didn't dive right in. Well, after he was denied access to the sisters, he then asked if he couold lay on them, which, normally wouldn't be a problem cause I love my cuddle time with him but the fact that he asked led me to believe he had another motive.

Well, the other day I was getting into the shower (our bathroom doesn't really have doors you can close). I thought my child was downstairs with his father. So I come out of the bedroom ready and headed for the shower. To my surprise, Kaiden was standing at the top of the stairs. Well when he saw my boobs in full light for the first time since he was way little, his face lit up like it was Christmas morning. I couldn't believe just how excited he got, I had to laugh! I quickly covered what I could but the damage was done. He screamed in delight as I ran away back into the bedroom. I guess my son is definitely a boob man and I definitely need to be more careful.

I normally like to include pictures in my blogs entries but I thought I would spare everyone the torture.....lol!

Kaiden's 4th Birthday Party

Kaiden's birthday party was a success. Yesterday we gathered close friends and family for a fun day in the hot sun! To our surprise, it was one of the nicest days I think I've ever lived through in August! Kaiden had a blast. He was swimming, playing with his friends, and running all over the yard. He kept telling everyone that this was the best party ever! He was so excited and loved having everyone over. He especially loved all his monster truck gifts! We are so thankful to have had such a beautiful day and the people we love be able to spend the day with us. Here are a few pics from the festivities!

Here is the cake that I made. Kaiden thought it was the coolest. I thought it was pretty cool myself. I was quite proud.
Here he is trying his hardest to blow out those darn candles. There was a little spraying going on!
He loved opening his gifts. Although when it was clothes they were immediately passed on to me. I loved them though.

Worst Day

The Reading Fair was this week. On Thursday they were going to have a Monster Truck show. Kaiden loves Monster trucks so I thought with it being his birthday soon we would surprise him by taking him there. So it was all planned, Jon and I, Katie & Deagn, & Kaiden all went to the Reading Fair. Throughout the night there were a series of events that made it quite difficult to have a good time.

1. Got lost on the way there.....that's ok not a big deal....whatever.
2. Locked my keys in the trunk of the car......Katie had AAA so atleast we didn't have to pay but they were supposed to get there right when the show was supposed to start so one of us would have to miss out.
3. Monsoon....it was supposed to rain but we couldn't let it ruin our night but it really poured and thunder and lightning. We of course had to take cover under the lizard stand (where you can actually win one to take home)....as I look up the tent is made entirely of metal which is great when you are stuck in a monsoon.
4. We go to sit down for the show hoping they are still going to have it considering the amount of rain that we just had. Daegn had to go potty and when Kaite came back she was carrying a trash bag which I thought was odd. Then she was like "We gotta go, Deagn just threw up in the Port O' Potty." ewwwww...I won't even pee in those things let alone stick my head in to puke.
5. They make an announcement after we'd been sitting for about 20 minutes. They told us that they were going to try to get the big puddle taken care of and they would start the show.....in 30-45 minutes.....well, we were there already so of course we were going to stay....we were commited.
6. They start the show...we watched one truck....Kaiden was freaking out! He hated them and wanted to leave ASAP! They were too loud. I didn't realize just how loud they'd be. Oh well, you live and learn. He just got one some more rides.
7. On the way home, we got pulled over because JON was speeding. Luckily, they were looking for seatbelts. Click it or Ticket!!
8. Fast forward to 4 a.m. I know, you think the night was over once we got home but NO. Kaiden puked then. And then when he woke up at 7 he had the runs.


The one thing we got to do BEFORE the monsoon. The monsoon:

So Kaiden informed me he likes monster trucks but just on T.V.

Dorney Park

Well, another season at Dorney Park is coming to an end. For the past 2 summers, we have gotten season passes to a park around here called Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom. We mostly go to Wildwater due to the water aspect. Kaiden LOVES water and I think he would never go to the other rides if it were up to him. I enjoy the waterpark too! Whenever you get hot it's very easy to cool down.

Here is Kaiden showing off. (He knew I had the camera out!) There's those shades again!
Waterslide!!!!!

This turtle was his favorite part. He would, literally, spend hours there. Just jumping onto it's back and sliding down!

Zoo pics!

Finally! I got the images to upload. Here is Kaiden and Daegn at the zoo. They really had a great time seeing all of the animals. Kaiden and I in front of the cool fountain.

One of the awesome animal pictures that I took with my new wonderful camera. I love it!!!!
Kaiden having a blast brushing away at the animals in the petting zoo.

Philly Zoo

On Friday, I took a trip with my friend Katie to the Philadelphia Zoo. Having just purchased the camera that I have been wanting for over 2 years now I was ready to get some great shots. I was so excited to have finally gotten my camera. I couldn't wait to put it to use on our trip to the zoo.

Now, I am very upset because with this post I have tried to upload some pictures to go with it but it seems that for some reason those have decided NOT to load! AHHHHHH!!!!!!

Now I can't share with everyone the wonderful pictures that I took with my brand new camera and I'm getting sick of trying to load them so I will just have to try again tomorrow.

Anyway, we had a great time. Kaiden got to see his favorite animal, the giraffe. He also enjoyed brushing the sheep and goats. I tried to get him to ride the camel but he flat out refused. Oh well, maybe next time!

Wipeout!

Here is a video of Kaiden from the beach getting wiped out with all smiles! I tried to upload with all the others but it did not want to cooperate.

Pics

Here are the promised pics. One of my brother's friends is like a computer expert and fixed my computer. Yay!!!
Here is Kaiden in the ocean.....loving every second! He doesn't go anywhere without his sunglasses....he is very sensitive to the sun.
Yummy ice cream. By the end this ice cream was EVERYWHERE....on his clothes, on his toes, on his shirt, and on the ground.
