Bouncy Ball Birthday! And other fun times in Utah..

I'm not gonna lie...I worked HARD on this kiddo's birthday party. In honor of kaden's first word being clearly, "ball" I thought it would be fun to do a ball themed party. We had ball-like decorations, ball-like food, and of course tons and tons of balls! We also filled up a kiddie pool in the backyard with water and some bounce-house balls. Kaden was in Heaven!!! He seriously is obsessed with balls and balloons and it was so fun seeing him play to his heart's content. I was so grateful for my family that helped with the food and decorations and especially for my sister in law, Rachel, for loaning her house for the party!

Ben and I have also tried to take advantage of our rare time in Utah. Though Ben has to study about six hours a day for his Step 2 exam, we still have had so much fun! We've hiked the Y and Stuart falls, so far, and have taken several long walks in the mountains behind my grandma's house where we are staying. We've also gone to Seven Peaks Waterpark almost everyday. Kaden is getting such a cute little tan! Ben has also babysat ALOT for me so that I could take Zumba class which has been so awesome because I have to confess I'm a huge Zumba girl and kaden screams if we take him to the gym day care. Ben is the best husband ever!
