Happy Birthday Caden!!!!!

I can't believe that my little boy is already a year old! Time flies! Here he is the day he was born, and look at him now!

So grown up!

Happy Birthday to my Happy Little Man!

He got a new tooth yestarday. I don't know if you can see it, I almost can't. Its his top left.

(I'm so glad that its here. He's been working on that one and 3 more around it for about a month! Maybe he'll feel a little better now.)

Daddy and Gracie's Funny Photo Shoot!

I took the first picture, and Gracie INSISTED on having her shades on. Then Jason got the camera and took some pretty cute pictures himself!

That girl LOVES her daddy. And so do I!

Random Pics

Black Bean face. She didn't like her picture taken :)

We built a tent in the living room.

It was lots of fun!

We all had fun.

Meme and Gracie. That's where Gracie got her good looks!

It was a little cooler at the Zoo than we thought. I'm glad we had his hat in his bag!

Yes, she got into my mascara, AGAIN :)

Finally, some Christmas pictures

Yes, I'm finally putting some pictures from Christmas up! We had so much fun with the kids this year. Gracie was all about opening presents and Caden LOVED the tissue paper and bows. As always, we loved getting together with the family and catching up. Here are a few of the best pictures from our Christmas Holidays.

She likes her play dough.

She got a doctor kit, too!

Opening presents. Note what Caden is playing with :)

Gracie handed out the presents this year.

He did like that tissue.

My sweet baby boy.

Wait a minute....

Caden and Daddy playing with a present.

He liked this one.

Gracie and cousin Emily. They had such a good time playing together.

She got LOTS of candy and an apron, too.

This was her favorite part, besides playing with Emily.

Caden in Great Grandma's chair.

Caden is Walking and "Shashy Guk"?

That's right Caden is walking. This video was taken a little over a week ago. He has taken up to 10 steps, but they are all pretty small :)

I love her ways of saying things!!

Christmas Past to Present!

Our first Christmas married! Christmas '03

Just us and the dogs, Jenny and Maggie. Christmas '04

Any pictures from Christmas '05 were not to be found in my quick search this morning. I'll post it later if I find one.

Christmas '06 - We added a family member! That was Gracie's chubby stage!

Christmas '07 we are quickly approching the 4th family member's arrival!

Christmas'08 - all four of us!


It was fun getting out all those pictures and looking through them trying to find a picture from '05. I need to do that more often so that I remember where we've been and appreciate where we are now.

Sweet Little Prayer

This is what she is saying. (I know how hard it is to understand her sometimes.)

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray dear Lord my soul to keep

Your love will guard me through the night

And wake me in the morning light

God bless my family and friends, Amen
