Fun times

We've had some fun times around the Kerr household lately. 

Caden got "caught" speeding around the house. 

Dad! I can explain!

This little guy also LOVES Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! It's the only time he will sit still!

Dad's also teaching him to grill!

And he loves wearing his baseball hat!!

First Day of School

I seem to be a week behind in all of my posts. But I want to make sure I post them so I can look back later and know details of things that have gone on in our life.

Last Thursday was Caden's first day moving up to the "bigger kid class" at Mother's Day Out.
 To be perfectly honest I didn't have a great feeling about it. Caden is at an in between age. He is too big for the baby class which now has 3 and 4 months old so they were moving him up to the 18-24 month class. When I took him I talked with his teacher and expressed some of my concerns. He doesn't "hold hands" while walking anywhere so I was worried about him going to the playground. I was concerned about him playing on a playground without me being there. He was expected to sit in a small chair and eat lunch around a table and take a nap on a mat on the floor. I thought maybe I was bring too over-protective so I left him. I got a phone call an hour and a half later telling me he had fallen off the jungle gym but "he was okay", they just wanted me to know.
 Needless to say, after a few other things happening that day, it was Caden's first and last day at Mother's Day Out, at least for now. We have decided to pull him out because although he is as big as the other kids his motor skills just aren't there yet. But maybe next semester he'll go back because he really seemed to love the interaction with all the other kids!!

Family Fun Day

It's no secret that I hate it when Matt works nights. I don't sleep well at all... I just don't like being here without him. But the good thing with his new schedule is that he is off every other weekend. We have NEVER had whole weekends together so this has been such a treat for Caden and I!! I'm a little late posting this but we had a family fun Saturday and we had a blast!! And a very tired little boy at the end of the day!

We started with a drive around the neighborhood. 


Then decided to play with our water table and swimming pool. Caden thinks it is more fun to run around and find all the dirt he can though!!

We also had to visit with Nana and Pop's dogs!!

Matt managed to catch him briefly for a picture!


After all the fun outside we went inside to cool off and play some hide and seek!! Caden decided to wear his baseball cap for our game!! I also couldn't catch him long enough to put a shirt on him!

Then we grilled hotdogs for lunch. Shortly after, I gave Caden his milk and he passed out while I was rocking him! And this NEVER happens anymore. As soon as he turned 1 he stopped letting me rock him to sleep so this was a very special treat for me! So special that we took a picture! Ha!
Once he woke up we played around the house and then had dinner with my parents. Then we took Caden to the playground and he had a blast!! He wanted to slide over and over again! He isn't scared of anything!!!

 And he was all smiles while he was swinging too! The higher we would swing him, the more he would squeal!
It was such a fabulous day spend with my favorite people!! The smile on Caden's face can and does absolutely melt my heart. His giggle is to die for! I am the luckiest mommy ever!
