Cade 18 months

This silly boy is 18 months old!! I can't believe it!

He is smart, sweet, silly, demanding, determined, into everything, and just so darn cute!!

And still such a baby to me!

He's still a big mama's boy! He loves his mommy. In fact, I hear, "mommy, up, up, up, UP!!" ALL. DAY. LONG!! He loves his daddy too, and gets so excited when daddy gets home. He's also becoming a little bit of a MiMi's boy...especially when she gives him candy. He will bring MiMi her purse and say, "Mah-Mah" (more) because he knows she always has mints in her purse. Ha!
At 18 months Cade:
-weighs 25lbs 5oz (50%) and is 33 3/4 in long (90%)
-is saying all kinds of new words. He pretty much tries to repeat anything we say, and tries to copy anything we do (especially his brother and sister...which isn't always a good thing). 
-Is taking just one nap a day now and is STILL waking up during the night. 
-Is wearing size 4 diapers and 18-24 month clothes.
-is running everywhere and climbing on everything!
-waves and says "bye-bye" to everyone
-gives the sweetest kisses and hugs
-loves to throw things in the trash (in fact, my Kindle is missing and I'm thinking more and more that he threw it away)
-loves to sit in my lap and read books
-loves to turn light switches on and off and says, "On, on, on" every time we walk by a light switch.
But the thing he loves to do the most right now is ride on the Gator we got when we moved to our new house. 
If Carson and Avery are outside riding on the gator then he is right there with them the whole time.
He will just sit and ride as long as someone is driving him!
So fun!!
Happy 18 months sweet boy!

Blackberry Picking

As part of my "stay super busy in the weeks between school letting out and vbs/camp starting- so mama doesn't lose her mind" plan, I took the kids out to Ham Orchards in Terrell to pick blackberries. It was so fun! The kids picked to their heart's content, then we had a yummy BBQ lunch and soft serve peach and strawberry ice cream! Definitely going to have to make this a yearly tradition!!









Father's Day 2014

These three are sure blessed to have such an amazing daddy!!


Oklahoma Spring 2014

We just love going up to our cabin in Broken Bow! My kids (especially Carson) get so excited about a weekend in Oklahoma! We were able to make a trip up to the cabin a couple of months ago with MiMi, Papa, Kiki, Gary, Tiffani and the girls. It was a fun, relaxing...and loud weekend (it always amazes me how loud these 5 cousins are when they are together, but man they have fun!). We played on the patio, made campfires, roasted smores, played in the hot tub, watched movies, hiked, ate rocks (Cade), and made some great memories with family!
