KADEN MATTHEW MACK
If you would like to feel inspired by an amazing family and see a beautiful blog that will have you counting your blessing I would have to say please link onto this one. Warning...It will make you weepy. This sweet little baby boy Kaden and his family have blessed my life and made me look at life a little different. One of my best friends Kim told me about one of her family members Kaden and I thank her for that. May we always remember these little angels in life.

Jake's first sleepover at our house...i can't believe he is this big!! His cousin Brenden slept over and they had sooo much fun. The boys just getting ready to watch a movie...Jason made them popcorn and they thought that was pretty cool.

Finally asleep!! They actually went to bed pretty early, or I should say Jake went to bed early. Brenden is much better at night then Jake, so Brenden was probably up later then normal!! They feel asleep around 9:30...Jake is usually awake until at least 10:30 every night.

Breakfast time. They wanted waffles and chocolate milk...they are so happy its really cute!!

Jason took the color test and he is BLACK......
Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

YELLOW......
You're yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!
Take the test -- the link in below.
