He liked to explore the neighborhood when he was little. He was always trying to run off. When he was almost two he got out of locked house/backyard gate twice and the police brought him back both times. The same neighbor who didn’t know us and lived a block away from us called the police both times when they saw a small child wandering around alone. We were searching for him the first time. The second time we didn’t even know he had got out until the police showed up with him. Then we got a locator device and put it on his ankle. He managed to get that off too. Fun times just trying to keep the boy alive. He fully took advantage of older brothers who maybe didn’t lock the gate or the fact that we were busy trying to watch all of them.

She has a MASSIVE sweet tooth! She tells me she has 4 dessert stomachs!

She would win at Taylor Swift trivia night!

She loves to be in cheer, and is excited to learn more things as she does it.

He works out almost everyday, he is only 12 and the kid can do a 3 mile run, well over 100 pushups, i think he's at 14 pullups per set now and always out performs any expectations we have for him. Kaiden has the biggest heart and can be shy at times, when you break through that barrier you get to see the goofy, caring, selfless, determined and motivated side of him. I couldn't be more proud that he is my son!
