BOY BOY BOY

We found out today that Caden will be joined by a Baby Brother!  The little boy looked great and the heart rate was 140.  I go back to a specialist in 2 weeks to have a full anatomy scan and back to my OB in 4 weeks for a regular check up.

We had to go to Target because Caden wanted to buy his baby brother a toy.  He ended up picking out a set of frog onesies for him!

GiGi and Poppa's Day 4

The last day was Sunday so here is Caden on his way to church!  He got to stay in the 'big church' with Poppa and GiGi and was so very well behaved.  We are so proud of him!

Poppa and GiGi took him to a Mexican restaurant after church and he had a taco and tons of chips and salsa!

 After lunch it was time for GiGi to leave and meet me half way to return our Cade Man.  He was unsure about coming back home with me!  I was worried with all the fun they had he might not want to come home!

Thanks Mom and Dad for keeping him.  He had such a great time and has not stopped talking about it!  We love you!

GiGi and Poppa's Day 3

Day 3 was filled with even more fun!

Here he is just starting his day having chocolate donuts in Poppa's chair!

 

Bella and Caden playing a game with little ducks that spin around.  Think they love each other?

This is Bella pretending to be a doctor and checking out Caden's tummy!

Playing 'Mother May I' with Lane.  Lane was such a good leader helping the kiddos out and playing teacher with them.

Picnic time outside!  Here's our cheezing Caden eating bananas, grilled cheese and cheetos!

Group shot!

Poppa surprised them all with harmonicas and stickers!  Here they are playing their songs!

Anniversary Date

For the past few years Mom and Dad have kept Caden the weekend of our anniversary.  We always go to Steve Field's Steakhouse and have such a great time.  Here we are about to leave!

 Here we are on the way to eat!  I love my T!

They always give us a slice of cake for our anniversary.  This cake was delicious!  It was chocolate with chocolate icing (are you jealous Jamie? LOL) and it had an orange chocolate glaze....Soooooo good!

My anniversary gift!  I also got Godiva truffles!  He is so good to me!  Love you T!

Happy Memorial Day

Happy 9th Anniversary to the man of my dreams!  I love you more than words and cannot believe 9 years have flown so quickly.  I love you for the man you are, the husband you are to me and the unbelievable father you are to Caden (with one on the way).  I look forward to growing old with you.  You are my everything and I love you....

GiGi and Poppa's Day 2

Day 2 at Poppa and GiGi's and Caden is still having a blast.  Tonight is Slumber Party night!  Bella and Lane are staying at GiGi and Poppa's house too!  

Here is Caden sliding on 'GiGi and Poppa's Playground':

Caden, Lane and Bella swinging!  Seems like just yesterday Lane was Caden's age!  Where has the time gone?!

Here they are playing school at the bar.  Lane is the teacher and I think he has 2 great students!

SHOCKER PICTURE:  My son is not and has not ever been a fan of ice cream.  He has one bite and he is finished.  EXCEPT at GiGi's house.  It must taste different!  Here he is eating Blue Bell ice cream with M&M's and hard shell chocolate.  I am also told that he has eaten green beans and fried squash!  Who is this child?!

Here they are playing in the water!  I can remember playing in the sprinkler at my grandparent's house!  So fun!

 Reading with Poppa!

 

After they read with Poppa it was time to play Pin the Tail on the Donkey.  Check out Caden in this cute visor!

 Getting the mask, just right....

 Cheesing it up!  I love our little monkey!

Stay tuned tomorrow for Day 3! :)

GiGi & Poppa's Day 1

Caden is spending the weekend with GiGi and Poppa!  I took him to work with my yesterday and we left work at 11 and met Poppa half-way.  I wondered how he would do when I dropped him off to Dad, but he quickly said, 'OKAY! Love you too!  Let's go Poppa!'  No sweat!

Mom and Kari have been sending me pictures from their phone so I had to share them!  They decided to all go and see Kung Fu Panda 2! 

Here is Caden behind Poppa at the theater getting the movie tickets!

Here are the 3 amigos Bella, Caden and Lane enjoying some popcorn!

 Caden can put away the popcorn but in this picture he is eating animal crackers!

Here they are in front of the Cars 2 movie poster!  Mommy and Daddy cannot wait to take him to see that one!

 In front of Kung Fu Panda 2 poster!

GiGi and Poppa got him a sword that glows.  I'm not sure he's happy about it...what do you think?

I talked to him this morning and he was very excited to tell me all about the movies and cannot wait for another adventure today!  Thank you for sending all the pics to me so I can share on the blog Mom and Kari!

So Mommy Won't Forget:

These sayings probably mean nothing to you all, but I'm logging them so I won't forget.  I currently have pregnant head!

Me:  This traffic is driving me NUTS!

Caden:  Well it is driving me coconuts!

*************

Me:  Goodnight sweet pea!  Love you!

Caden:  Goodnight Mommy, love you too!  Will you be my girlfriend?

Me:  Sure I will!

Caden:  Okay, Me, Mommy and Daddy are a family and we will live in this house forever until my Baby Sister comes!  (we do not know what we are having, but he's convinced it is a girl!)

*************

Me:  Caden, please go put your shoes in your closet.

Caden:  Oh Mommy I think that's a great idea!

Me:  Good!  I'm so glad you agree!

*************

Caden smarted off to me once and I said, 'You better watch your mouth!'  So that is where this comes from:

Me:  Caden!  Go put your clothes in the dirty clothes NOW!

Caden:  (in run-on sentence form) You better watch your mouth I'm just kidding!

*************

After dinner one night as I was clearing the table:

Caden:  Oh I know Mommy!  How about Me and My Daddy go play hockey and you clean up the kitchen!  How bout that?!

*************

One night before bedtime, Tim was in the hot tub, so Caden and I joined him.  He did not have his floaties on but he was standing on the steps inside the hot tub.  After warning him to just stay on the steps, he stepped off and went under and in less than a second I jerked him right out of the water.  When I got him ready for bed he prayed:  Dear God, thank my Mommy because I was underwater and I almost died but she saved my life!  Amen

*************

At Valentine's Day Tim took Caden shopping for me.  They came in the door with gift bags and I was about to open the bags:.

Me: Oh My Goodness Caden!  What is it?

Caden:  It's pj's and clothes Mommy!

I asked!

*************

Caden:  Mommy, you know what?

Me:  What baby?

Caden:  Jesus died on the cross and took our sins!

Me:  That is absolutely right baby!

Caden:  What is sins?

Me:  It is when we do bad things or think bad thoughts or are not very nice.

Caden:  Oh, I'm glad he took my sins. 

*************

Caden:  Mommy can we go swimming when I get home from school?

Me:  No sweetie it is too chilly outside.

Caden: (hands in the air palms facing out) Okay Mommy, here's the deal.  We will go home and you turn the heater on, then we will get in the pool.  Sound good?

Me:  (LOL)

*************

Caden:  Mommy, (pointing to a picture of my Mom's parents who have passed away) that is Memaw and Papaw, they are GiGi's Mommy and Daddy.

Me:  Yes they are.  I loved them very much and miss them every day.

Caden:  How bout this Mommy, we can go to Heaven and see them, then we can come back to our house.

Me:  No baby, we can't go to Heaven...(Caden interupts)

Caden:  Okay, it's closed right now?  What about tomorrow?

*************

That's all I can think of for now!  I'll add more when they occur! ;)

Wordless Wednesday

End of Year K3 Luau Party

Caden had his Last Day of School Luau Party!  

Here he is all decked out in his Hawaiian gear!

Here is the entire class getting ready to hear a story! 

Listening to The Hungry Caterpillar!

Mommy & Cade Man!

Here is another one of us at the craft table.

Caden making a bracelet!

Here is the finished product!

Next it was time to hula hoop!  He did a great job at it!

I think Mrs. Farouk (on the right) is explaining to him how to do it!

It was a great party!  We will miss Mrs. Farouk and all the teachers of K3! 

Caden's K3 Program at CCCA

We cannot believe Caden is about to be in K4!  Slow down TIME!!  

Friday night the kids had their program and they all did so great!  Caden was singing his heart out and doing all the hand motions.  It was precious!

Here they are as a group and he is dead center in the picture with the navy shirt on.

You can't see him here, but they are doing more songs and saying Bible verses in this picture. 

He is blurry because he is moving, but this is Caden coming off the stage. 

Again they were exiting the auditorium here and he is the blur to the right!  They were jumping and clapping to music as they were leaving. 

Here he is with Mrs. Farouk!  We love her and although we will see her in the hall next year when he goes to K4, we will miss her dearly as his teacher!  We love you Mrs. Farouk! 



He Loves His Mommy

Yesterday morning as I was getting ready for work, I started to put on my bracelet that I have had FOREVER and it snapped sending all the beads all over the floor.  Caden heard me say, 'OH NO!' and came running in to see what was wrong.  I told him I was so sad that my bracelet broke and here was his response:

'Okay Mommy, here's the deal.  After I get out of school today, I will go buy you some pink flowers.  I can't do it right now because we have to leave in 5 minutes to go to school.'  (HEART MELTING!)

So after school we stopped by the store and he picked these out for me.  I love my little man, he has the most tender heart!  Made me forget all about that old bracelet that broke!



Happy Birthday Auntie Scott!

Happy Happy Birthday Scottie!!!!  We hope you have a fantastic day!
