Model in the Making

Posted February 20th, 2010 by ashleytreb

It seems like forever since I have had time to post. In January we put our house on the market. It has been very fun trying to sell our house….NOT!  Brandon’s Step Father Dan is our realtor and has been working hard but the market is just not what it used to be.  We will be happy if we get what we owe on it. Please keep that in your prayers, it would be a blessing if we could sell it!  Brandon has been working full time since May when he graduated. He has also been writing a book for Manning publishing called iPhone and iPad in Action if you want to check it out feel free to click the link.

Cayden has been talking so much.  He started talking at about 8 month old and his language has been growing ever since.  He started with the word Dog and now says so many things.  He says “bite” when he wants any of my  or Daddy’s food.  ”More” when he wants more.  ”Whats thats?” “I Know” “Pa pa” “Ma ma” “Dah Dah”  etc.  He calls Brandon’s cousin Justin “Jupin” outside “ouside”  ”rock” (which he likes to put in his mouth).  ”Up” “down” please “Peas” “Poo Poo” when he needs to go to the rest room. Its absolutely crazy how quickly they learn and change in one year!  Its insane! My Dad bought Cayden the My Baby Can Read series of movies and flash cards and he is beginning to recognize the words.  Im very excited to see his growth over the next couple months.

We have been busy, but what is new?  In mid January I was blessed to have the opportunity to go out to California with my best friends (Sachi, Vanessa, and Tamara). We went to DisneyLand and explored California. It was a short trip but a wonderful one!  While I was in Cali Brandon and Cayden went to Arizona to see Mark and Angie (Brandon’s Dad and Step Mom).  Cayden had so much fun with his “Papa Mark”  he loved going to the park and playing in their front yard.  Mark took him to Angie’s work (Deer Valley Credit Union) and Cayden was being shy and hugged Mark as tight as he could.  He went to the park with Brandon’s Grandma also. We have a video of Cayden running to “Chee Chee” (GG= Great Grandma).  It was  great trip for all of us but I did miss my boys.

About two weeks ago my friend Tamara came to NM to visit  her family and took some pictures of Cayden.  We had a pretty nice snow storm and she photographed him playing in the snow and at the park by our house.  He is so photogenic and of course the cutest thing I have ever seen!  Tamara recently graduated from Brooks Institute with a Bachelors in Photography and is really talented.  she takes most of Cayden’s photos and we are so lucky to have her….plus Cayden loves her to death!  We hope you enjoy the pictures. Hopefully I will be able to update more.
