Just Some Videos

This video is just a random day in the life of Kaden.
This one is of Kaden pretending to sleep (listen to his snores) and also poking daddy in the "butt"...or bellybutton.

Our Christmas Pictures (better late than never)

What's this white stuff?

So, it snowed on Christmas Eve, and little bit on Christmas day but nothing like it did last night and today...I think so far we have 3 inches...and then we are getting another big snow storm on Wed. and Thurs...but anyway, so since this our first "big snow"...we took Kaden out to play in it...he thought he was so big and cool...he would fall over every couple of steps and if Kyle would try to carry him Kaden would say "walk walk" because he wanted to get down in it. I think he was falling down on purpose though because for the first time it didn't hurt when he fell on the ground...he would just lay there until Kyle or I would come and help him up...he's such a booger!

Happy New Year!!

This year was definitely a roller coaster year. Not only for us, but for so many around us. I think out of all the years Kyle and I have been together this year has proven our REAL love for each other. Though we were blessed with so many things this year, a new house, a healthy and bright son, jobs for both of us, and still being strong as a family. Hopefully 2010 will be a lot smoother for everyone!!

Silver Dollar City 2009

Before Christmas, we decided to take Kaden on his first trip to Silver Dollar City to see the festival of lights. Of course he loved it!! He was so disappointed that he could ride any of the rides though...I'm not kidding either...he was mad when we would pull him away from them. It was definitely super cold when we went, but he didn't seem to mind...he just sat back and enjoyed himself. The one thing he didn't like though, was the gingerbread man at the end of the day parade...he punched him right in the face...funny for us, but not so much for the gingerbread man!! Hopefully we will get to do this every year...make a family tradition out of it!!

Christmas Tree oh Christmas Tree

Sorry about his messy face and clothes...we just got done eating dinner and usually wait to clean him completely up until bath time...

...We are totally excited about spending our first Christmas in our new house. It seems so much more warm and inviting than it did in our old house. I can't wait to start all the traditions with Kaden in our new home. This year I think it will be a lot more fun with Kaden and Christmas. He is understanding more and more about things going on around him.

Speaking of Kaden, he is now 17 months old. He is just as ornery as all get out. He repeats EVERYTHING you say, and remembers everyone he sees. He loves to help us clean up, especially after dinner. He scoots his chair in and puts his fork in the dishwasher. He is saying close to 100 words in his everyday vocabulary. He is starting to speak in sentences right now too.

I have gone back to work, just for something to do, and also to give us a little bit of extra money to put back in our savings account. The days that I work Kaden stays with his "Dee-Dee" aka Kyle's mom. He loves to slide down the little slide that she got for him...he shows off on it every time I go to pick him up. ;) He also loves to watch Handy Manny right before his nap time.

Kaden has names for all of his favorite t.v. shows including, "Mick" (mickey mouse), "Pooh" (winnie the pooh), "Mammie" (handy manny), and of course "ELMO"...he LOVES Elmo!!

We are all doing wonderful here in the Ulrich house. I hope that everyone is enjoying their holiday season...I know we are!! :)
