kindergarten... finally

caden's first day. it was great all around. we met his "best buddy" brennen. he was able to ride the bus. and he finally wasn't bored anymore! this picture was taken after we were waiting at the bus stop. i forgot all about first day pictures, so i made caden run home really fast so we could take one. he was not at all pleased with me for making him run back home.. so just imagine he is beaming!

we see frequent truckers on our road. this is caden, brennen, and the other neighbors getting the trucker to honk, while waiting for the bus.

caden getting on the bus. he is all grown up! (he has the spiderman backpack)

hyrum and ty were so cute! they were sad to see caden go. but they were so excited for him to come home! it has been fun having caden go to kindergarten, but it just makes me feel so darn old!

caden has done awesome in school. he is reading like a champ, and loves it. his teacher is mrs. perez and she is wonderful! well, atleast her discipline technique has worked like a charm. caden told me when the first kid in class got into trouble (and it wasn't him!) i am so proud of him! for all the trouble and issues we had in preschool, i am so thankful that things are different, and for his teacher!

he has been hanging his favorite art projects on his wall above his bed. i think it is so cute, and the perfect decorating touch! he loves going to computers, the library, and "this thing called p.e.!" he has really adapted well to vernal, and seems to have grown up a lot the last few months. he is such a great helper! he loves babies and tells me that we need to have a sister! i am greatful for the chance to help raise him!

and i just have to add.. whenever i say "caden" he always replies "whaten" :)
