Walking Is So Cool!!!

White Girls Can Jump!

Madison taught Jacob how to jump from the highest possible spot today. He was very nervous, but after much pressure from big sis he finally gave in. Maddie was actually able to touch the ceiling...crazy!!!

Potential Bad Dad Moment

We went to a gymnastics gym here in town for a birthday party last weekend. Jake took Caden on the rope swing. Could have been a very horrible situation, but Caden loved it. He wanted to go over and over again. Jake was very tired by the end of the hour of open play. Maddie and Jacob had a blast as well.

Caden's Big Boy Haircut

Before

After

So, we finally had to cut Caden's hair this weekend. It was getting a little crazy and hanging in his eyes. He looks like such a big boy now. And looks even more like his uncle Dan at that age. I remember when Dan looked just like that with his little boy haircut.

Caden's First Birthday

Opening his present for the water
Loving his new toy

He loved to go under the huge sprinklers that were in the pool.

Thank you for the puzzles Grandma Vuky and Mrs. Dee

Thank you for the blocks and clothes Grandma Dudley

For Caden's birthday party we just went to a neighborhood pool with some friends of ours and celebrated. The kiddos swam, had lunch and cake at the pool, and then when we could finally tear them away from the water (4 hours later) we went home to open some gifts. He had a blast and loved playing in the water. It was a nice time and I think he felt really special.
