Darrick and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary (plus all the years before) this week. It seems like just yesterday we were sweating in the park, trying to keep all the kids in the wagon...... :)

Vacation Time............
Last week we went on vacation. We started by going to Tennessee to see Jarvis and Stacy. We were there for Jarvis' birthday, but a week too soon for Braylon's.... Stacy delivered baby Braylon yesterday!! While in Tennessee, Kaden lost his second tooth! Luckily the tooth fairy still found us!
After a couple of days we left for the Atwood family reunion in Branson. We spent many hours at the pool....Kenyon's "tan" is starting to convince Darrick that he is actually his:) Kenyon also turned 5 months while we were in Branson!

Kaden jumping in! Kenyon and his turtle!
Kaden and Daddy racing!!!
On the way home we stopped by to see Big Brutus again. Kaden wasn't as impressed the second time around. He was actually a little worried that Brutus was getting too old to climb on, and was holding on for dear life as we climbed the stairs.

Kaden Lost a Tooth.......

After 3 long weeks of a loose tooth, Kaden finally came home with his tooth in a bag. The bag also contained a string tied around the tooth, so I knew Kaden would have an exciting story for me! This is how it went.....
"Papa asked me if I wanted to see some magic. So he tied the string around my tooth... and it just popped out. Then the blood came!!"
He said it didn't hurt and was excited to put it under his pillow. Although he never caught the tooth fairy like he wanted to, he was still excited about the money she left him.

Our Boys.....
Here are some pictures of Kaden and Kenyon. Kenyon is starting to show a lot of emotion through his facial expressions! The picture of Kaden is from a friend’s “circus themed” birthday party. Darrick wasn’t too crazy about the tiger face painting…. but Kaden assured him that it was a Jungle tiger, not a Missouri Tiger!!
