And I Cried....and cried...and cried!

So...I decided this morning to wake up...go to the gym, but thought I would check out some blogs before I did.

Sometimes something hits you so strong that you have to tell everyone. My dear friend Megan made a post about how happy she is that she is to be a Mother. I, after reading her's and this blog~go to

I felt like it was not only something I could read, but I could share it, & pray for it.

Over the past Year & Half as Andy and I have tried to get pregnant... only then to miscarry, I have questioned my ability to be a mother. When I read this blog about this little boy, fighting for his life at 1 years old...it made me realize how thankful I am to be a Mom. If all I get in this life is to be blessed to have ONE Happy, Healthy, entergetic, crazy little boy! What an amazing blessing it is!

Beware you will cry your eyes out as you read what this little family has gone through, and still going trough! Our prayers are with them!

I think sometimes I need to get off the computer, put my Young Womens stuff away, turn off the TV and enjoy being the Mommy I get to be, how lucky am I?

Christmas 2009!

Santa was a hit at our house this year! Kaden kept telling us all he wanted were trucks and train's for Christmas....and I'll tell ya that's exactally what he got!

It was Hilarious! We set up the remote control train before he came down, we turned it on and as he walked down the stairs he was like "oh my goodness, oh my goodness, a train a train, it's a train.." over and over....It was the funniest thing I have ever heard and I have it all on video!

So needless to say it was a very fun Christmas..!

The Christmas Tree Hunt!

For those of you that don't know every year since I was born we have had a Martin Family tradition. The Friday after thanksgiving we drive up to Vernal Stay in a classy hotel..(Vernal yeah right) Swim, go to dinner, maybe see a movie, and do some shopp'in! This year was pretty much the same! Kaden is a year older, of course, so he was into it a bit more. He loved riding the 4-wheeler...which we did most of the time...while dad found us the Barker Family Christmas tree! It is a tradition I love...and will never stop doing!














Lov'in the pool!

Halloween....in December?

So I realized today why I never blog...cuz my computer takes forever....yes I need a new one! Anyway these are just a few pics of Kaden in his Lion Costume #2 , Which I love!! (Read earlier post and you will know why there are two) and some pumpkin Pics!





Kaden At Great-Grandma Marchants house...he hated the head part of the costume!

LION!!

So I bought this costume for Kaden Last year....but it was way too big. So I decided to keep it and have him wear it this year. Well a couple weeks ago I went and tried it on and him and of course It was very snug, esp with clothes under it. So I decided I really wanted him to be a lion so I would just order him a new LION Costume online! I paid way too much for it, but it was super cute! So I decided I wanted to go get his pictures taken at Target.

Now Kaden HATES getting his picture taken...lets just say his 2 year old pictures pretty much don't exist cuz he was so bad. So I begged my friend Jodi to come help me and I took a gamble. Well he was in a very happy mood so I got to Target and started to put on his Costume and I realized I had brought the smaller and definitely not as cute Lion costume! OF COURSE! I was like 20 Minutes from my house in Centerville so I couldn't just run home and get the right one! Plus Kaden was being so so so good! So we decided to take them and this is how they turned out! I think they are way cute! But if anyone wants to barrow a lion Costume I have two!

We had a blast for Kaden's 2nd Birthday! We took him and some of his friends to MY GYM for a Birthday party! He played, ate cake, opened tons of gifts, and had a blast!







The fallowing week we took him to Chucky Cheese! We wanted to go and do something with just Kaden, Mommy & Daddy! He loves all of the cool cars he can ride on! He also loves the tokens and pushing them in each and every ride!
