Fablehaven Launch Party

We are big fans of the Fablehaven books written by Brandon Mull.  His third book in the series was released on April 21 and there was a launch party on April 25 at Cottonwood High School.  Cade is really into this series and this author, we met him at a book signing when the second book came out, so we went to the party with our friends the Jill, Brooklyn and Adi Jensen.  It has been so fun for me to see Cade get so excited about books and reading, he was counting down the days to the book release.  

We got to hear Brandon Mull talk about the writing process and where he gets some of his ideas from and we met some of the characters from the book.  We left with t-shirts and autographed books.  It was a really fun night.

Sawyer Smith Latimer

Jared and Amanda welcomed little Sawyer Smith to their family on April 23.  Only 8 days after her due date :)  He is so darling even though he looks alot like his daddy.  Amanda looked amazing, she did not look like she had a baby 4 hours earlier.  She stayed in the hospital for 7 hours and then went home, she is amazing!

A date with Cade

Cade and I went on a date Thursday night.  We went to IHOP because they had Horton Hears a Who breakfast items and Cade had just seen that movie.  It was so fun just to focus on Cade and visit with him without any interruptions.  He is such a great boy, he is always giving me compliments and making me feel good.  After dinner we went to the pet store and walked around.
