We're Back!

After what was suppose to be an eight hour trip to Iowa turning into a twenty-eight hour trip, we finally made it and spent a wonderful week with Cody, Sarah and the boys. We didn't leave the house but had tons of entertainment and excitement with the three boys. It seemed like it flew by especially since mom, Cade, and I had to stop just about 50 minutes away from Cody and Sarah's house last Monday because the roads were just too bad to travel -hence, the 28 hour trip. They had warned us of a blizzard, but unfortunately we took the chance thinking it wouldn't be THAT bad. Turned out-it WAS that bad. We spent Monday night in a hotel and finished the drive the next morning. Mom and I must have seen a hundred cars along the road in ditches or wrecked once we reached Iowa. We couldn't believe our eyes and were wondering what the heck we got ourselves into. It was pretty devestating at times. The best part about it was the fact that Cade was a trooper. I had hardly packed anything for him since we were going to Sarah's, who has all the baby gear, toys, etc. anyone could need. And after almost 12 hours in the car, he finally got a little frustrated, but we were luckily getting ready to exit. I think it took us like 3 hours just to go 10 miles or something. The whole thing was unbelieveable. But well worth it once I got to see little baby Cameron!

Sweet baby Cameron-he is still so tiny and was definitely the easiest to take care of out of the three. Although Sarah might beg to differ!
King Owen- this was a freebie out of Cade's Burger King meal and Owen just loved it. He kept saying "King Owen!" and "King Cade!"

Cameron really looks like Cody to me here.
Thanks Cody, Sarah, Owen and Cam for letting us take over your house this week! We are so glad we came despite the crazy trip, and we can't wait to see you again soon! Miss you already!

Parker and Cade

Friday night we went over to the Diehl's home, cooked dinner and played with the boys. Cade did pretty well with Parker although he played a little rough at times. But they had a good time and Parker is getting to be quite the big boy!

Cade cracking up at Parker. He's been laughing like this constantly lately. He just gets slap happy.
They were both on the move so fast, I could hardly get a picture of them together!

Iced in

Cade and I were iced in all day today while daddy went to work. And since I haven't been quite so good at getting the camera out lately, I decided I'd goof around with him since we had nothing else to do! Our power was out for a couple of hours and the cable was out pretty much the whole day. So I snuggled up to the couch and watched some movies. It was a great day off!

The only way to tell he has hair :)

Cade's new favorite hangout

Cade loves hanging out in our fridge. I dread every time I have to open it. Sometimes I even wait for him to look away while I get something out of it. The picture below is his expression when I finally closed it on him. However, he managed to sneak a few big things out of there.

Cade's Stats

Not much new in our household. Just fighting the terrible twos :) Is that possible already?? I find myself constantly giving Cade anything safe that might interest him in the least so that I can cook dinner or get ready for work, etc., etc., etc. He just hates being so little and wants to be at mommy's level! I just laugh because he is so intrigued by the silliest things. But it only lasts for a short time and then it's on to something else or into mommy's arms. He's a lot of work but worth every minute!

But anyways, I took Cade to his 15 month checkup today and just thought I'd share some of his stats since I have no pictures to post really. He is in the 70th percentile in height, and 50th in weight. So he is right on track and growing like a weed! I hope he keeps it up so he can beat his daddy at some b'ball! That's all for now. I hope to have some pictures up soon!
