chicken pox + lego's

Good news NO SCHOOL for a week.

Bad news lots of ITCHING & CHICKEN POX.

Braxton has the chicken pox even though he has all his immunizations.

********

Kaden turns 5 on Wednesday, so we celebrated yesterday.

Even though Kaden knew we would be celebrating his birthday, he insisted on having a surprise party, so Evan took him for a little walk around the block and came back in.

**SURPRISE**

We all jumped out.

(Me, the boys, and my parents...no one else could come since Braxton had chicken pox)

For his cake, I made several little lego brownie bites and put them in the shape of a 5.

We built the CITY OF KADEN out of lego candies.

He received lots of NEW LEGO'S and couldn't have been happier.

He has played day & night with them since he got them.

labor day weekend.

Are you ready for some football?

We took all the boys and went to the football game on Saturday.

There was a lot of pre-game activities going on, so of course we joined in on the fun.

There was...

face painting.

a bounce house.

cotton candy.

mini-golf.

The boys had so much fun!

Braxton was involved in every play.

Ethan thought the touchdowns were the best part.

Kaden loved cheering.

(seriously hilarious, I have never seen so much enthusiasm)

Landon loved shaking his pom-pom.

At half-time they had fireworks.

(Landon watched them without crying.)

GO DUKE!
