The reason I was put on this earth, was to be a mother. I now know this after having our first amazing child!

Random thoughts

Caden comes running to me and says "mommy, more"..I say more what? He replies "goldfeeesh". I ask..."what do you say?" Followed by blank stare and silence, so I ask him again and I say "what is the magic word?" He replies with a very simple..."hotdog". Umm oK! That kid cracks me up!

Everytime you ask him what color something is it is blue or green.

He is getting really good at saying "thank you" when needed. 

Threating him with a timeout, works wonders for a tantrum!

Still loves cars and airplanes

Favorite foods-hot dogs, pizza, chocolate and popcorn.  He always wants a pickle, but never eats it.  LOVES pop!

I love when he says "wiss you", meaning he wants me to snuggle with him.

He still has very short patience, and gets easily frustrated. 

If he could spent 24/7 outside, he would.  He would probably be pushing his mower the majority of the time!

A few more

Just a few move favorites from the beach!

LOVED feeding the goats 






Kids Fest...Caden had SO much fun riding the train.  We were a little nervous at first since he had to go on it alone, but he did great and wanted to go again. 

Memorial Wknd at the Lake

When I went home in May we also spent a long weekend at the lake.  My favorite place in the world!  I grew up going to the lake every weekend and I hope that Caden can have fond memories like I do.

The lake wouldn't be the same without golf cart rides!

The water has really risen...nice and close now!


Bubbles!!
