Holiday Pics and Prayers Answered

Christmas morning...

A drumset and a tricycle Cade had that we finally put together! Cade's favorite character from the Doodlebops is Moe-the drummer. And I must say, Christmas morning was wonderful being settled in our new home and having a healthy new baby boy. What a relieved and peaceful feeling that was!

Goofing off with Adyson


These two were having a blast and were repeating anything the other one did.

Cameron's 1st birthday party! I didn't get a picture of him with his cake or anything, just this one of Cameron and Cade looking oh so cute! Hopefully his momma will show off the highlights from his big day on her blog soon.

Just a cute pic of Papa Jay & Cade

One night over the holidays, we had all my family that was in town over for dinner-well, pizza- I didn't cook or anything :) These are just a couple of pics of Owen and Cade that I thought were cute. They are little red faced from running and playing the entire evening. They have the best time together as long as they are not wanting the same toy!

Christmas Eve pics below...

Gramma Gaye and sweet baby Cash- or 10 pounds of Cash as she would say :)

Cade's Thomas the Train helmet which he loves! He thinks it is a football helmet and runs around saying "hut-hut". He has knee pads too. It is a wrestling match trying to get them off of him every night, but totally worth it I guess to see that smile. Thanks Gramma Gaye and Papa Jay!

In other news, my brother Matt and his wife Jessica are expecting their first child in August! I am ecstatic to say the least!!! I absolutely cannot wait as I have seen how wonderful they are with both of my boys. They are truly going to be the most loving parents anyone could ask for. God help them if it is a girl, because I will be spoiling her rotten. They should find out the gender sometime in April so we are all patiently waiting!

And last, but certainly not least, I must give a shout out to the dear Lord and thank him for answering our prayers Christmas Eve night when my father, out of nowhere, started having severe pains as if his hernia had returned and fell to the floor and could not get up. We called 911 and they took their own sweet time to get there. He was in so much pain he begged and begged the EMTs to give him something for the pain on the way over which they normally cannot do, but finally did after seeing how bad he really felt. So off to the ER he went and come to find out, well nothing actually. We found out nothing. They never could tell what it was related to but it wasn't his hernia-so they say. They released him about 2:00 am Christmas morning and all was back to normal. We had a wonderful and blessed Christmas day!
