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

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!! 



Out on the paddleboat







He loved just being able to RUN!

Caden and Auntie Nae







Grandpa Johnny Built the lighthouse 

We celebrated Grma June's Birthday.  I was happy I got to be there for that!



Maka showing how to blow dandelions. 

"Here, you try!" 

Great grpa Johnny and Bumpa chasing the kiddos,
Grpa John loves to tease!

Campfire! 








Home for a week

I went home for a week at the end of May.  Here are some captured moments from my trip!

SO fun getting these two munchkins together!
Macy calls Caden "Naden" and Caden calls Macy "CB" then the last trip he shortened it to just "C"
Too cute!


Caden comes upstairs and he has all this black stuff on his forehead...I couldn't figure out what the heck he got into....Well...
He found moms stamper and was stamping his forehead.   






Bumpa Pile! 

Madi has become such a "grownup preteen" if that makes sense.  She was always helping with babies and she was SO good with Caden.  Here she is taking them down to their house to jump on the tramp some more. 

Caden LOVES to use pens...notice how he is already holding the pen correctly!!  I struggle teaching kids in preschool to do this!!  I hope he keeps his form!!  Not sure if he is a lefty or righty yet, usually more right, but lately he has been writing with left too.  Kyle and my dad are both lefty's so we will see!


Kenna chilling with Caden.  They were laying on the couch together watching a movie and when I walked back in the next time he was laying on her...sooo cute!



1st beater lickin!  Mmm Chocolate his fave! 



Uncle Greg 

Kenna loves holding Brezlyn 

All the grandkids.  Busy house at mom and dads when we go home!



This one cracks me up! 

Hugs for Maka 

I was lucky enough to see both Kenna and Madi play some softball games when we went home, so one night we spent outside while the girls practiced.  These are my favorite moments. 




It is IMPOSSIBLE to get a good picture of these two together. 




At Madi's game 

Caden loves to help water the flowers so when Maka asked him to help he was thrilled.  Actually anything you do, he loves to be a "helper". 




We went to visit grma Kouba and they wanted to go for a ride on grma's scooter.
