Kaden Just Turned 6! :)

When it comes to my kids, I can't help but be so cliche in saying that TIME FLIES because they're growing up so fast. I can't believe that it's been six years since I first held the little boy who made me realize that there's nothing in this world I'd love more than to be a mother. :)

Kaden was so excited and he couldn't wait for this day to come. He carefully picked his cake design. We didn't have a party so it was nothing fancy, but he loved it. My little boy loves Kung Fu Panda so Mhin of Fadge Cakes came up with this design and the really cute cupcakes.

Like any other child, Kaden was very excited about his presents but his main birthday wish was for his family to be complete. We were happy that my mom and dad were here to celebrate with us but sadly, Art couldn't make it back in time and my brother won't be arriving until the third week of the month. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our little family dinner.

Our little Amber girl whose birthday is up next and is turning 1, looked extra pretty in her dress from her Lola Lise. 

My mom and dad adore her. (they adore all the kids but a baby girl is extra sweet) In fact, my mom and I were laughing because my dad can't help but repeat himself when he says "Amber you're so pretty." (classic case of loving your own)

I can't say I blame him. :) Art too, is like that. Even Kaden is, it's adorable.

Kaden enjoyed his little dinner party. 

But he couldn't wait to go home so he could open his presents. :) 

We also got Carlos his "birthday present" so he won't feel left out when Kaden opens his presents. Kaden loved all his presents and there wasn't a happier camper in Silicon Oasis that night. :)

Everyday I thank God for giving me such a blessing in Kaden. For the past few months that I've been home alone with the three of them, Kaden has been the one to make things a lot easier for me. He's been very mature (for his age) and very helpful in many ways; he looks out for me, as well as for his brother and sister; he is a great listener (except when he is playing his video games) and he is always concerned about me being tired so he likes to surprise me with made beds and scrubbed floors & furniture (scrubbed with wipes that is, but still); he knows how to massage my back and offers to do so on nights when I complain about a sore body; he encourages me to do Zumba and he is the one who reminds me everyday so I don't forget when I get so distracted with fb-ing; he makes it a point to tell me how lucky he (and his siblings) are to have a mom like me and he likes to show just much he loves me in many other random yet sweet and thoughtful ways. So I can never ever complain that I am not appreciated because Kaden is there to remind me that I am, always. Those are but a few of the many wonderful things about him that and I keep telling myself that one day when he's grown up, he's going to make one girl very lucky  with his sweet and sensitive ways and when that day comes, I vow to not hold him back or act like a jealous girlfriend. :)

We love you so much Kaden! :) I pray that you will stay as sweet and loving as you are and that no matter what comes your way, you'll always keep your feet on the ground. Don't forget that mommy and daddy are always here for you no matter what.
