We took Cade to his first Cardinal baseball game last weekend. We got there an hour early and were able to make it to the 7th inning. We were quite impressed. We were totally convinced Cade would be all over the place. But he just sat there on each of our laps and watched the game, crowd, and big screen. He was very pleasant and loved the ballgame food! He would have lasted even longer I believe, but we decided it was getting pretty late and ready to head home. It was a good time.

COOL DUDE

Court's birthday dinner

Courtney's birthday was this past week and we got together with her, her brother Colby, and baby Maddy to celebrate. It was fun, and Madalyn is such a doll. She was perfectly content and sweet in her little carseat. Flashbacks for me as to what dinner USED to be like!

Dad and Cade up to no good

Cade develops a love for trains

Cade has recently developed quite a love for Thomas the train and friends. He is following in his older cousin Owen's footsteps. They had a blast playing with them while Owen was visiting and when Owen left and took all his trains with him, we decided Cade would need some of his own. So the first purchase of the Thomas train set was Thomas & Percy trains. He loves Percy and calls him "Peesy". It's too cute. Check out the "choo-choo" lips in the third pic.

Cute Pic

Cade's babysitter sent me this picture of all the kids after they came in from playing in the "wa-wa". I just thought it was too cute not to post. Cade is 2nd from the left.

House Update

Surprise!

This past weekend, my sister-in-law had a surprise 30th birthday party for my brother. It turned out great and a lot of his close friends and family were able to make it to help celebrate. We had the backyard all decorated and right before, and I mean RIGHT BEFORE my brother showed up, it down poured! And only for a few minutes. It was the craziest thing and the worst timing!!! So all of the paper decorations got a little wet to say the least, but we managed. Matt was pretty surprised so I don't think he was even able to notice the decorations! It was a fun weekend and as always, a great spot to meet up with my cousin and her family as well! Owen and Cade watched Thomas and rode Uncle Matt's four wheeler and lawn mower. Baby Cameron is getting big and just sat quietly while the other two ran around!

Happy 30th Birthday Uncle Matt!

Friday is my brother's 30th birthday and we just want to wish him a very happy one! We will be there soon to help celebrate and can't wait to see you both! Love you bunches!!!

More Progress

Making Progress

Here is a shot at the front of our house. The garage is to the left, front door and porch in the middle, then a bedroom on the right. They're definitely making progress and it has been neat to go out everyday and see the changes that have been done. We are so excited and have been told by our contractor that we could hopefully (key word: hopefully) be moved in by October! That would be wonderful but we'll see. Next week they should get started on the roof.

House Update

These pictures are from yesterday. We finally have walls framed up! Below are just a few pics of some of the outside walls they had done. However, I went by today and almost all the interior walls are done! So exciting! I could actually see our rooms, bathrooms, etc. It's been a long time coming, but hopefully they will be able to keep up the pace!

This is looking at our living room to the left and the dining area to the right. There will be a deck off the back.
