So I have become obsessed with this little site called Pinterest. I have gotten so many cheap crafty ideas about DIY gifts that I want to go out and buy every single possible thing to make all of them! Right now I'm sticking to moderately easy stuff like mason jars, and CD closet dividers.
Life is going pretty good. My roommate and I seem to be working out pretty well. Kodi and Kayden play extremely well together and she is pretty fun to be around.
Since money is tight, I'm making everyone's gifts this year. Its the thought that counts right?
I drove down to Tulsa to take Kayden to the aquarium there. It was so much freaking fun! It was nice to hang out with dad and Pam too.
School is almost over, and I can't say that I'm real sad about it. I think that I'll pass all my classes but I'm really worried about English. I'm just not doing well in there and I don't know what exactly I'm doing wrong. Little things I can fix but it seems like my papers just aren't flat out what she is looking for. I'll keep trying but hopefully I don't have to re-take it next semester.
Life is wonderful right now :)

Who wants to car shop for me?
Every 16 year old kid who gets to go with their parents to buy their first car is always so excited. Freedom is at the tip of the tongue. Over the past 2 years, I have gotten to feel what the PARENTS feel like on the other end. Its pretty much the opposite. Freedom has ended, your pocketbook is hurting, and you feel nothing but irritation, and annoyance during 95% of the process. The 5% that is OK? Well that's when you're test driving the car and think, I could buy this.
The other 95% consists of them trying to screw you over, take your money, and push you into buying a car that you aren't even 100% sure you want.
They TRY to make you sign these stupid little forms that say "I will buy this car if all terms are agreeable". What the hell does that even mean? Seriously? I think they only give it to me because I'm 20 and a girl. I'm not stupid. I have this thing called a brain that sends signals to me when people are bullshitting me. No I am not going to take less than HALF of the actual trade-in-value. NO I am not going to sign your stupid form, and NO I will not buy this car today. I am going to go home, sleep, run numbers and think.
Hopefully today will be less of a pain in the ass. I'm trying not to get too excited, generally when I do that I end up pissed off and want to go the hell home.
FYI to all cars sales people. Taking 2 and a half hours to gather information that you should ALREADY know about a car tells me your trying to make me sweat so I'll give in and buy the car. Here's some news. I am not stupid, and I have will power. Next time you try and make me sign that stupid form, I'm walking out.
Sincerely, someone who will be smart when she buys cars.

Stupid or not so stupid?
So I may or may not have done something really stupid...
I hate living alone. Its not a secret. So a friend of mine with a little girl needed somewhere to live.
I said she could come live with me. I know having a roommate can be awesome, and horrible all at the same time.
I need the extra money, BAD, and I hate being alone. She needs somewhere to stay for cheap, so this might be a good fit.
I hope we both can keep our end of the deal.
So it could be good. She seems like a low-key person, which I need because I can't do the whole, have tons of friends over constantly. And she has a little girl so her and K can play together. Its short term, but we will see how it goes :)
My mom got married last week. I have very mixed feelings about it all.
I am super excited about Black Friday though! I hope I can get Kayden some kick ass gifts this year!
I already got him a ton of gifts but now its time for serious shopping! I love buying him stuff!
I am way excited for Christmas! Not as excited about Tgiving but I'll post about that later ;)

I have the cutest kid ever.
There's always that one moment every once in a while, well actually like every day, that you're like "holy crap I'm a mom, that is my kid, and I love him so much."
I had 2 of those yesterday and one this morning.
I picked up Kayden's dinosaur costume from my sisters yesterday. I go get Kayden from daycare, he was smiling and laughing when I picked him up. I kissed him all over, and started to put his costume on. Seriously, CUTEST kid ever.
We get to his GiGi's house, I let him out of the car, and he starts running to her. Moment #1. It took my breath away of how cute he was. I almost cried. On Halloween haha.
His GiGi took him to a few houses to trick-or-treat, she dumped half her candy bowl into his basket, then we headed to see daddy.
Kayden kept pointing to him behind the counter and got super pissed cuz I wouldn't let him down to go get "dada". As soon as Kevin picked him up Kayden latched on like his life depended on it. Made my heart melt. Kinda makes me jealous when he gets like that with his daddy. But on the other hand, I'm glad they are so crazy about each other.
So we get to my moms, load up, and head out to Edmond. We're all taking pics and all that jazz, then we start the trick or treating.
My holy crap moment #2 of the night was shortly after we had started trick-or-treating. He started RUNNING to the doors of these houses, playing with all their decorations, and taking candy and trying to go into strangers houses. That was the cutest thing ever. He was so into it and everyone thought he was the cutest thing.
He passed out about 2 minutes after we got in the car. We got home, I changed his diaper, and he cuddled with mommy and passed out again.
About 3 or 4 days a week I have this same oh crap moment at the same time every day.
Kayden will wake up in a great mood, but he won't wanna get out of bed. He wants to cuddle. These are my oh crap moments.
He latches on to me, snuggles up real close, and "pats" me on my head or something.
He gives me tons of kisses and lots of hugs. Those are the best "oh crap" moments.
He has also started doing this thing, were he runs behind me, latches onto my legs and cries when he sees someone he doesn't know. He gets so scared LOL.
It melts my heart.
Kayden had a great Halloween. I gave him M&M's after breakfast. So I'm sure Kevin is grateful for the sugar high.
I love my stinky bear SO stinkin much.
He's the greatest kid ever.

Halloweeeeeeen Weekend
Its Halloween weekend already! Wow time flies way too fast.
Saturday we had Mr. Blue's birthday party. Kayden had a blast! He kept getting super pissed at me because I wouldn't let him swim by himself. He will be such a good swimmer though! He already kicks his legs really well!
Sunday we went to my sisters for lunch, games and pumpkin carving. I had to leave early because I had a horrible migraine. I don't think I've ever had one that bad.
We got home, I fed Kayden, and we went to bed at 7:30. He woke up a lot because we went to bed early but I felt SO much better when we woke up this morning.
Today is my last assessment at the LI. I'm grateful for a little bit of money. Of course its going straight to bills but its better than nothing.
Tonight we're going trick-or-treating. Kayden is going as spider man. I didn't prepare much for his outfit. He won't remember anyways and I'm broke. So we're taking what we can get :) I'm sure he'll have a blast though :)
I'm hoping tomorrow is still a good day. Going to bed that early felt SO good. I think I'll do it again tomorrow.
I love my stinky bear so much. He is getting so big and is such an amazing person. <3

Halloween Weekend!
Life is good.
This is Kayden's first Halloween where he can trick or treat!
I think he's going as a dinosaur. Costumes are so expensive. Plus he doesn't care what he's going as.
Tonight I think we are going trunk or treating at church, then tomorrow is Mr. Blue's birthday! Woot Woot!
Kayden loves to swim and loves his cousins so it will be a blast.
Monday I think we are going trick or treating with Charly & Jeff. It will be a blast. Hopefully it won't be too cold.
Tuesday I have an open house at work which should be interesting. I hope we get a lot of potential clients.
I'm missing my baby boy, so I'm happy its Friday so that I can spend a lot of time with him.
I think Sunday we will just play games, and eat and read books at Charly's house. I just wanna cuddle and watch movies with him, but he's too much of an explorer for that.
I have 4 papers, 4 discussion questions, 6 tests, and a billion other things to do that I've been procrastinating on but oh well. I'll get it done. Hopefully I'll get a better grade on my next English paper. I'm not doing so hot in that one.
Other than all that, life is good. My bills are paid once again this month which is always an accomplishment.
I have a lot to be grateful for. I need a lot but I have a lot and am grateful for everything.
Most of all I have my son, who is the most amazing person on the planet.

Starting to Stress
Whats new? When am I not stressed?
School is kicking my butt. Normally I rock at writing essays but for some reason I keep doing something wrong. I made in A in English last year so I'm not quite sure what my deal is this year.
I have like 3 essays due next week and my brain feels like its about to explode.
Thank god I have a boss that doesn't care if I do schoolwork because if I didn't, I'd be failing right now.
I got the Dean's Scholarship. Its not a lot, but it felt good to know that I actually got it.
Kayden slept until 8:15 this morning which equals like 11 to non-parent people LOL.
He is such a smart boy. He brings you books constantly to read and understands the way things work on a level I can't believe.
His cousin's birthday is this weekend at the pool in Kingfisher. I'm pretty excited. Kayden loves swimming and Mr. Blue is warming up to me :) He actually gives me kisses now! About time its been a frickin year!
I am relieved that after this next paycheck I'll have K's daycare paid up until February. I hate being broke.
Life is good though. I can't complain too much. I have an amazing family, an amazing son, and maybe one day I'll have amazing friends also.

Oh the joys of being responsible
I love it when I read posts on facebook about how horrible it is for these teens/young adults to have to buy their own clothes, or food, or even pay for gas. Just to give you a good idea of my bills without food or diapers, its well over 1600 a month. I don't even make 1600 a month. Yea I bet you're thinking "how does she afford food" I don't. Whats even better? I don't qualify for food stamps. Ha yea, I know crazy right?
I guess that makes me feel good though. At least I don't have my mommy, daddy, or the government taking care of me and my child. There is that small amount of pride that gives me a small glimmer of hope when I check my bank account and there is just barely enough to buy Kaydens food.
So, quit complaining you had to fill up your gas tank when mommy and daddy pay for your rent, utilities, food, insurance, and necessities.
Anywho had to get that off my chest
This weekend I got awarded the Dean's Scholarship at school. I'm pretty stoked about that. Making good grades really does pay off!
Kayden has HORRIBLE allergies that are making him miserable. I feel so bad for the poor guy. He can barely breathe. Its hard not to be annoyed at 6 a.m. though. I'm going to have to figure out some good medications so he can breathe and let me sleep.
Life is good. Bills are paid.
Can't complain too much ;)

Girls Night Hayyyyy
Tonight is girls night hayyy!
I'm excited to go out with my mom, sister, step niece? friends and their friends :)
We're going to the Redneck Yacht Club. I've never been but I've heard from reviews that its pretty cool.
I'm gonna miss my stinky bear a ton but he will be having fun with daddy.
I've paid up 2 months of Kayden's daycare, which rocks, and now I just have to get my tag and new license and I'm caught up on the things I need to take care of.
Hopefully in the next 2 months I'll figure out how to pay for January's daycare before Tax Return time so that I can pay for like 6 months of that.
Kayden likes brushing his teeth I've notices. He likes being like mommy. He is such a big boy now! Its bittersweet to its truest definition.
He woke up and sat on the couch like a big boy and let mommy get ready without throwing a fit!
He almost ate all of his oatmeal and didn't cry when I dropped him off at daycare!
Tomorrow we will probably go to my dads to pick some stuff up and then my dad is supposed to help me with my paper. I didn't notice how flawed it was till he looked at it so I need some serious help.
This weekend should be fun :)

SO irritating
Today started off alright, I went to The Lynn Institute for my assessment and they forgot to schedule it so I have to go back tomorrow. They gave me and extra 25 bucks so I guess its OK.
I get to work, eat and I'm just sitting here when I remember that I need to call and check on the documents at Childtime and make sure they are ready for me. They aren't and I have 10 days to settle it or I owe 300 bucks that I don't freaking have.
Then I remember that my Dog Bite case STILL isn't settled and I get irritated so I walk over to my lawyer's office and he won't answer the door.
Its been like a year. I'm starting to get really pissed off.
So I start watching my US history videos. Its boring but whatever its school ya gotta do it, except that the freaking professor takes FOREVER to make one SMALL point. It takes him like 15 minutes to explain something he could have explained in 2.
Its just beyond irritating. So now I can't concentrate, and I'm super sleepy.
On the plus side, since I went to TLI (the lynn institute) I am able to pay for 2 months of daycare which takes a HUGE load off of my back that I have been stressing the hell out about.
Now I might be able to buy food. Hopefully.
I am so stressed with so many papers, midterms, and discussion questions and trying to figure out HOW I'm going to do nursing school, clinicals, and work and still see my baby.
Gahh I hate days where I'm stressed out.
Overall though, I can't complain too much.
My sister, mom, and friends are going out tomorrow which I'm excited about so it will be nice to have a girls night.
:)

Well that was interesting
Well, I am at work again :)
I spent the last 24 hours at the Lynn Institute. They paid me some good money for not a lot of work.
I went in, they did my vitals, did a physical, did an emotional assessment, then took me to my room. It looked like a hotel room with a nice huge bed, a tv, and free wifi. They bought me Panera for lunch, and Outback for dinner. It was a pretty sweet deal. I go back for 3 more visits. I get 100$ at each visit. I need the money SOOOOOOO bad. Christmas, birthdays, daycare, and bills has made me broke as a joke. I can't wait until Tax Return season.
I am going to buy a swing set, pay off my car, put money in savings, put money into K's daycare, put a dp on a car, and buy K lots of toys/clothes.
I am going to apply to nursing school in the spring. I'm pretty excited. I'm praying they will give me night/weekend clinicals because there is NO way I can do it during the day.
I missed my stinky bear so much. I went home this morning to see him before I headed to work and he looked SO excited to see mommy. He freaked out if I left the room. I love that he knows me and misses me so much.
He is the sweetest most amazing baby boy on the planet <3

A day in the life
Soooo, this weekend was OK.
Kayden was SOO crabby yesterday it was unbelievable. But my sweet sister pointed out he was bloated really bad, so I felt bad for losing my patience with him. He's such a cute little goober though. This morning he got SO mad at me for not laying in bed cuddling with him after we woke up lol. We were running late or else I so would have. Its always my favorite thing when he wants to cuddle. Melts my heart.
My cute nephew Mason and I bonded a lot this weekend. HE IS SO CUTE. He gave me tons of kisses (which he's never done) and he kept crawling to me to hold him. I love the little stinker. Him and Kayden played really well together. Even though they are both in the "mine" stage, they manage to share a little bit.
I missed E's soccer game which I was so sad about. Apparently there is a bully on the other team who pushed E. Made me wanna cry. But lil E pushed him back! I'm so proud :) LOL.
School is finally starting to get better now that I am actually applying myself. My history lecturer makes me wanna blow my head off though. He is a Democrat, and pushes his opinions even though he says he is being "unbiased" yea whatever.
I did my essay on FLDS & LDS and I think I'll get a good grade, at least I hope I will get a good grade.
Life is pretty good, I go in tomorrow at the Lynn Institute for the overnight visit. I'm nervous about leaving K, but he will have fun with daddy.
Life is good, money keeps finding its way to me so I can pay my bills thank god.
Can't wait till tax return season geeze.

Things I love, and things I don't love so much about Kayden being 1
Don't get me wrong,
I wouldn't change being a mom for ANYTHING in the world,
But there are some things,
I wish that 1 year olds couldn't do.
This blog was inspired by another one I saw the other day.
Things I'm not so fond of:
I wouldn't change being a mom for ANYTHING in the world,
But there are some things,
I wish that 1 year olds couldn't do.
This blog was inspired by another one I saw the other day.
Things I'm not so fond of:
- They don't like to eat what you make, I mean come on, mac & cheese is delicious, banana's are too. Just eat what I make you!
- They throw fits about EVERYTHING. Sometimes it truly is funny, but when you are trying to pee early in the morning and you don't want them flushing the toilet, its hard to laugh at them while they throw their body on the ground and scream like they are dying.
- The whole, spitting food out on to the ground, or when it gets imbetween the high chair and their butt. Its all squishy and gross.
- When they throw food on the ground. If you don't want it, just don't eat it please.
- The need to put disgusting things in their mouths. Like: dirt, bugs, toilet paper, stirafome, paper, receipts, shoes, socks, or old food.
- His huge overly slobbery kisses. He opens his mouth as wide as possible for kisses. Then he gives you a big fat slobbery one. You can't help but smile. It melts my heart, seriously.
- He dances when ANY song comes on tv, or the radio. He stomps his feet, spins in a circle, does a couple squats, and dances.
- His hugs. When he first wakes up in the morning, all he wants to do is cuddle. He lays his head down on your shoulder, and pats you. It is the sweetest thing ever.
- He loves dogs. Like, he has a serious obsession with them. He kisses clifford in his books.
- He loves guitars. Even if he sees one on a shirt he tries to strum the strings.
- He loves his cousins. Every single time he sees them, he runs up and gives them a kiss. He isn't always good at sharing, but when he does, it is the sweetest thing to watch.
- His facial expressions. I swear funniest thing EVER. He does this monkey face, that just cracks me up.
- His laugh. If I just blow my face up a little bit, he bursts out in this amazing laugh that you just can't help but smile.
- He is so stinkin SMART! He knows what socks, shoes, pants, kisses, hugs, bye bye, & shirts are. He knows where things go, he puts them back if you ask, he brings things to you, he loves to read, he loves to learn.
- He just started signing, "more". So amazing! He is so stinkin smart, I swear.
- He loves strawberries. Like LOVES them. He tries to stuff like 5 in his mouth at once. I kid you not.
- Watching him eat a banana is like watching a starving child eat a cheeseburger. He takes HUGE bites. Like, I swear, he takes a 3 inch bite. Funniest thing.
- He knows what "lay down" means. He lays right next to you, gives you a kiss, and cuddles right up to you.
- Even though he's a little old for it, he still has a paci, but he knows what it is, and looks for it.
- He plays Peek A Boo.
- His smile is the most precious thing ever.
- His little toofers.
- He bobs his head to music. Especially guitars. He KNOWS the sound of a guitar distinctly from another instrument.
- He plays with other kids, and it is so fun to watch.
- He loves his family. He always goes right up to them, lays his head on their lap, and gives them kisses.

A new week
Its been a long week already.
Monday Kayden and I got super sick. We threw up all night long and didn't eat anything on Tuesday. Poor baby was so sick. I slept all day Tuesday while Kevin took care of Kayden. I'm feeling a lot better today but my stomach is still messed up.
My dad is giving me an entire bedroom set this weekend! I'm super excited! I've never had an entire set! Its a king size too! I don't know how its going to fit! LOL.
Kayden is amazing as usual. He is so stinkin smart. He knows to bring you things, he points to different animals in a book and shakes his head yes or no if he is hungry :)
I love his kisses. Even though they are slobbery, they are the most heart melting thing on the earth.
I'm picking up my grades in all my classes and I'm so happy because I was so worried I wouldn't pass. I'm still a little worried but I think I will be OK!
My sister and I are going to apply for the nursing program at Rose State soon! I'm super excited and you don't have to take chemistry!
The only thing I'm worried about is if I have to take any time off of work. I can't afford to and I don't wanna put my job on the back burner after everything my boss has done for me.
I go in next week for a 24 hr visit at the Lynn Institute. I really need the money and I'm grateful that I got approved to do the study.
Life is pretty good otherwise. Looking super forward to my cute nephews birthday party in a little over a week! He's growing so fast and him and kayden play so well together...most of the time ;) Its so cute to watch them kiss each other and play together, then steal the toys from each other!
Life is good.
I need to start posting more to make a good grade!

AAh more for English class
I've gotta keep up on this blog or I won't get a good grade!
So I'll start off with this weeks adventures.
Tuesday I got to watch 3 hot OGE guys come in and work around my house. That is always fun! I also got a brand new FREE refrigerator.
Yesterday we went to outback (YUM!) for my niece Taylor's birthday. She turned 11 and got a Ipad thingy. Its pretty cool!
Last night my Oma brought over Pierre (dog), for me to watch while she is out of town.
Kayden is OBSESSED with dogs. I mean like, ridiculously obsessed. He woofs non stop at the dog. It is hilarious. He loves to pet them.
His fits are slowing. Thank goodness. I honestly just don't know what to do with myself when he throws a fit.
He is such a cute little stinker though.
Saturday my dad is taking me grocery shopping. Kayden and I will probably go help him and Pam bag pretzels afterwards.
I think I'm gonna wait until January to buy a new car. I don't know how I'm going to afford new monthly payments or even get a decent car but I'm going to have to try. My transmission won't last forever so I have to figure something out.
I'm hoping I get a raise in the next couple of months to help make ends meet.
Since DHS sucks hardcore and asks you how much money you make BEFORE taxes and counts that as your income. I mean come on people, that is NOT how much money is in my pocket. Who came up with that retarded rule anyway. I really wanna smack them right about now.
So I'm now 200-250 in deficit every month. Hopefully Kevin can keep helping me out or else I will be screwed.
Tomorrow I'm going to go interview for a clinical trial for depression. It pays 800 bucks. Which will get me by for a little while. I just have to keep coming up with new ways to get extra income.
I sold a couple of things off Amazon to make a few ends meet this month but I need to find more. I'm starting to really really worry.
I know that everything will work out in the end. God has a plan for me and my little man so I just have to keep doing my best and hope he has plans to help me soon. Until then, I will just try more and more everyday to do better and be better.
Can't wait for the weekend to hang with my little man <3

What a week What a week!
So I just got back on Friday from my trip in San Diego. I had a freaking blast.
I'm so excited to implement some of the things from the seminars into my daily work.
I'm hoping that once I get my bosses clientele up and running, she will help me build mine!
I think its only appropriate that I help her with hers first. I don't want her to think I'm a wasted investment.
I'm very self conscious about doing a good job. I feel like since we got back, I've shown her I can do my job, and exceed her expectations.
As for being away from Kayden, it was tough. The only thing that helped was knowing he was with family, and being too exhausted from seminars to really have time to think about any of it. While I was gone, he had 3 more teeth start to pop through on the top of his mouth! He learned to flush the toilet, climb on the couch, and was super fussy.
I'm not sure what happened while I was gone, if its just the constant changes going on around him, or his teething, his age, or what, but he is throwing fits pretty much non stop. I'm starting to worry that something is wrong. I keep racking my brain trying to figure it out but I just don't know.
Not only that, but I don't know how to handle the fits. He is too young to understand time-out, and he isn't acting up enough for a spanking, and he is too young for that anyways. I don't know if I should try and baby him more, if he needs some extra loving from all the change, or if I should just ignore the fit. I'm having trouble sticking with just one thing.
Money is tight, and since that stupid mouse inhabited my kitchen its pretty much ruined my excitement to go in there. I feel like my kitchen is dirty no matter how much I clean it. I'm always paranoid a mouse is gonna run across my feet. I think I might have a slight phobia of mice. They seriously disgust me. I keep having dreams that they are crawling into bed with me. Its stressing me out. People think its not that big of a deal but it is to me. I literally get queasy and feel like I'm gonna pee my pants when I think about them. Not sure what to do.
Overall though, I am so happy with my life and those that are in it. I wouldn't change those parts of my life for anything :) Its been a good couple of weeks, hopefully the next few will be even better!

Still writing for English class ;)
So, I need to write some stuff for English :)
Kayden was up at 3 in the morning last night so I'm pretty tired today. But so far, it hasn't been a bad day. I leave on Saturday morning and I'm kind of starting to freak out. I don't know if I can emotionally handle leaving Kayden for that long. I mean, I have to, but I wish I could take him with me :(.
My mommas to infants/toddlers group got me fired up and awake this morning. The topic was to breastfeed or not to breastfeed. Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge breastfeeding advocate so I love putting my two sense in. I can't help myself ;)
I'm trying to stay busy this week. It feels like everything is going by so slow.
I've been thinking about changing my major to nursing. If I do, it will take less time, and probably have a much higher chance of me getting a good job if I do. I would only have to work 3-4 days a week! I think in the long run, even though being away from kayden now would be tough, it would financially and physically be better for both of us. Sacrifice some time now for more time in the future. I think I could really enjoy it too.
I hate being an adult and having to make difficult decisions in life.

Life is Good!
Life is going pretty good right now. Kayden is adjusting pretty well to his new daycare (better than I could've hoped!). He is growing and learning so much more every day! He's been patting and kissing his cousins a ton! He even pats his Aunt Kym's belly and gives it kisses! Its so cute! He is becoming a serious daddy's boy, but he still loves me so its ok! He is super cuddly lately, which I can't complain about! He is refusing to drink milk though, which is worrying me about his growth.
On a less happy but kind of happy note, I leave for San Diego for an entire week next weekend. Its bittersweet. While I am sooooo looking forward to the beach, sleeping as much as I want, seeing an old friend, and getting some "me" time, I have never been away from Kayden for more than 9 hours. He has never spent the night away from me and I'm like really freaking out. He will be with his daddy, so I know he will be OK, I'm just worried he will forget me, miss me, be super sad, or think I left him! He is my little angel! I can't bear to think he is hurting because I'm leaving him. Its not forever, but for me, it feels like a really long time! I know I need a little bit of a break, to recoup, but being away from him is so sad to me! I've never even gone out with friends because I miss him too much! I know it will be good for me work-wise, and physically, but emotionally, I just know it will be super duper hard. I will probably cry all night long the first night :(. At least I know he will be with his family, who loves him so much. He is mommy's little man, the #1 man in my life. I just hope he will be OK with me gone...

Just a HELLO!
Helllooo!
I am Sarah
My son Kayden is my whole world.
We laugh, we play, we learn, we get crabby, but most of all we love eachother.
I want to be the best mom I can to him.
I want him to learn to be a wonderful son, father, brother, cousin, student, husband, and human that he possibly can be.
Kayden loves guitar's, his mommy, his daddy, his aunties, his cousins, and his grandparents.
He also loves pianos (he's a little musical guy) elmo, boxes, pots and pans, banging on the glass door, Thomas the Train, Super Why, Dinosaur Train, and music anything.
Kayden loves to play tag with his cousin Ethan, and he loves to play "eat this toy" with his cousin Mason.
Kayden loves to cuddle, give kisses, wave bye-bye, and eat junk food.
He gets super crabby when he doesn't take a nap, but he's cute when he try's to force those tears to come up.
I'm Sarah
I love Kayden, books, movies, swimming, and hanging with my family.
I don't have many friends, but my family makes up for that!
I love my job, but I would give anything in the world to be a stay at home mother.
My boss rocks, she is super understanding, and pays me well.
I love itallian food, romantic comedies, and sleeping in.
I'm a junk food junkie, I love ice-cream, and I could eat all day every day.
I'm short, but I have a big personality when you get to know me.
My family rocks, we play games, eat, and talk.
Christmas is my favorite holiday.
I have a spending problem when it comes to clothes and toys for my son.
I just bought my own home and I love it.
I love watching Kayden learn and grow.
Most of all, I love being a mom
