Seaside Beach Trip - Valentine's Weekend





We went to the Seaside Aquarium and they asked if we want to buy food to feed the seals. We said, "Sure." --- I love the look on Kaden's face while he was holding the food.





At first Kaden didn't want to touch the sea anemone's, but then he got brave and went for it.

After we went to the Aquarium we went over to the Funland arcade. Kaden had a lot of fun riding on the bumper cars.

Then we went up to Astoria and went to the Mariners Museum.

K-1 Winter Music Program

Kaden's Winter Music Program had been scheduled for December, but was cancelled due to the snow. They rescheduled the program for tonight and Kaden actually sang. A little surprising, since most of the time when they have a Primary program, he just stands there and smiles.

Below is a short video clip of the performance. Kaden is our little "class clown". Sorry for the quality of filming. We were sitting toward the back and with the camera on zoom, you really need a tripod to steady it, plus I moved the camera, in the middle, to try and get a better shot. ---But I think you'll still be able to see how cute Kaden was performing.




Kaden made it to the "Writing Wall" at school. Out side of the gym, each month, they post examples of work from students that did a great job in writing that month, and here's Kaden's piece. Notice how his name is spelled? Kaden M O. He's really into his whole name right now. So I guess he wanted to fit he middle initial in there too.
This is a picture of Kaden with his friend Alex. He loves Alex and every day after school, he always wants to hug him before we leave.

Cold Play




We had over a foot of snow fall just before and after Christmas. Kaden had lots of fun playing in the snow. Grandpa and Daddy made a tunnel and Kaden had fun crawling through it.

Merry Christmas!

Kaden and Versii got this pedal car to share. Kaden was really excited to see it on Christmas morning!
Ben 10 wrist watch thing...Kaden asked Santa to bring this to him and he got it!



Below is Kaden's cousins, Austin, Ashlyn and Versii on the end. They were here in Oregon visiting for a few weeks.

"I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas..."


Kaden wanted snow and he got snow.  It's been snowing here since last Sunday.  Last Sunday they sent us home early from church since it was snowing and this Sunday they cancelled church entirely.  And Kaden only had school on Tuesday and Thursday last week.  



He's been out to play in the snow a few times.  Unfortunely, this snow was not so great for making a snowman, but he still enjoyed it.  I think that he'll definitely get his fill of snow now.  The weather forecast shows snow through Christmas.

Jump Jump Kaden!




Here are some pictures of Kaden and Versii playing with some remote control Speedracer cars.  Versii's operating the car and Kaden is trying to jump over it.

Portland Oregon Temple





Here are some of the pictures of the boys, in the atrium, at the Portland Oregon Temple after our sealing on Friday. Our friend Steve took the photographs for us. He took some really great shots of the boys.
