Caden's Pick

Our Allie Gator

Off to Work We Go!

Caden just started preschool and so far it has been a success. He asked me when it was going to start many times in August and was all geared up and ready to get back to "his work". He was very sad to find out his teacher would not be Miss Lisa and he still really misses her, but he is adjusting well so far and we both have been happy with the school. Caden is also involved with a computer class which he is doing very well in and his teacher keeps telling me how engaged he is and how amazed she is with how well he stays on task on the computer. We are very proud of our Caden!

G.I. Joe

Caden's latest big thing, besides holcano's (volcano's) is army tanks. Every time we go to "daddy works" we drive past the Military Museum and Caden begs me to stop and take him there. Well, we finally planned it out and went there. He was completely enthralled and we had a spectacular time. And as a bonus, I didn't have to endure the longwinded history lesson from the tour guide because I was busy running from exhibit to exhibit with Caden. Poor Justin.

Allie's Blessing

Allie posed up perty for pics. She was lucky to have her Great-Grandma Muriel make her this darling dress before she passed away (and while she was in her late eighty's and mostly blind). She used to tease Justin and I that when she died she was going to pick out our children. Apparently she knows what she is doing and because of this we have been very blessed with our little kiddos!

Children's Museum

This was the biggest (or should I say only) thrill for Caden at the Gateway Children's Museum. Thank goodness for grandpa helping load the crane! We had fun seeing everybody!

Cascade Springs

We had fun on our outing to Cascade Springs over 4th of July Weekend. It was a bit more of a workout as a VERY prego woman than I realized it would be, but well worth it!

It's Summatime

One of our favorite times to make lots of great memories... Below are a few samples of the fun things we have been up to so far this summer

Hey fool, lets go to the pool

We were invited to go swimming with some friends one day and I thought Caden would be absolutely ecstatic since he always LOVES the pool more than a little fish. But, being the homebody that he is he still told me very specifically that he didn't want to go. I somehow managed to talk him into it and when we arrived (all geared up with Superman suit and all) he flippered right in and let it be known it was a somewhat of a miracle I got him back home. Sorry to inform you I did not include the pictures of me in my maternity suit. Maybe next time. Wink, Wink.

Biker Boy

Having wiggle bikes for so long kind of turned Caden against the whole idea of having to work to get his bike revved up & going . I really had to use some great convincing skills to get Caden to realize that pedaling a bike would be worth it. We practiced lots and lots and just when I thought he was never going to get his dang bike moving...along came Tyler..... is all he had to do is invite him to play...and boom, all of a sudden you would think he turned into rocket man. Well, the rest is history and he is doing great on his bike now.
