Cade's Baptism

Cade was baptized this Sunday and did exceptionally well. He hardly even budged when Father Gary poured the water over his head. Cade's Godparents are my brother and sister-in-law, Matt and Jessica Youngman. They are so wonderful to him and we are so lucky to have them in his life. I know they will be loving, supportive, and guiding throughout his life. It was a very special day and one that I will never forget. The white gown Cade is wearing is the gown I wore when I was baptized, as did my brother, mom, Aunt Debbie, and cousins Josh and Sarah when they were baptized. I had debated on whether or not to have him wear this gown or a new one, but am so glad I went with the traditional one. He looked absolutely sweet in it and I love that it is being passed from generation to generation. Thanks to everyone who was able to help celebrate this special day. And a special thank you to Grammy Gaye for hosting the wonderful luncheon afterwards at her home. Especially after the week she's had! Another special thank you to Aunt Debbie and Uncle Steve for their help in preparing for it as well.

This moment brought tears to my eyes. It was so precious to see him being baptized as he gazed into our eyes.

Get well soon Grampa Jay!

Grampa Jay has not being feeling well lately. He was rushed to the hospital this past Tuesday and ended up having hernia surgery. The doctors couldn't believe he let it get as bad as it did. But that's dad for ya. He was dreading getting it fixed and having to lay in bed for days. Although he was under the impression it would have been weeks. But I think he will be up and moving soon. At least I hope so for my mom's sake! This week was crazy for her since she had to take care of dad, Cade, and Brasky all by herself for two days! We just hope Grampa is up and running (or at least up) before Cade's special day this Sunday! Cade just wants him to get well soon so they can play and sing songs. Love you Grampa!
Terri Hall took this picture of Cade while she was babysitting him the day my dad went to the hospital. Thanks Terri for all the great pics! Looks like he was a little angel for you!

Aunt Debbie & Uncle Steve

Aunt Debbie was quite disappointed that she didn't get her picture with Cade at Christmas. So we took one at church instead! It turned out pretty darn cute! Love you Aunt Debbie & Uncle Steve!

Happy 3 month birthday Cade!

Cade is three months old today! I can't believe it's already been three months! My how time flies when you're having fun! And we are definitely having fun. He is changing so much everyday. It is so neat to see him grow. Who ever thought grabbing a toy for the first time or making bubbles with your drool would be so neat. The littlest things make us so proud and remind us how lucky we are to witness this little life growing. Here are some pics I took last night while Cade was on his changing table. He has the best time laying there and just smiles, smiles, smiles the whole time. Of course when I have the camera in front of my face, he immediately stops smiling and just stares at it. Oh well, it doesn't keep me from taking a million pictures!

Playing with Uncle Matt

Cade loves it when his Uncle Matt comes to visit. Here they are playing at Gramma's house. Matt was in town last weekend and will be back again this weekend along with Aunt Jess for Cade's baptism.

Bed Hog

Cade is not so good at sharing the bed with his daddy. He starts out laying vertical and then a couple of hours later he is completely sideways, taking up his dad's entire side of the bed. It is too darn funny. He never ventures to his mother's side, only dad's. This is a picture of Cade on his way to booting his dad out of bed.

Happy 1st Birthday Avery!

Avery Jane is 1 today! Happy Birthday sweetie! We love you!

It's a BOY!

Tonight we went to Tonya and Bobby Diehl's house to find out the gender of their baby due on June 7th. It is in fact a boy! Bobby and Matt are so excited and looking forward to teaching their boys the game of golf. The baby is healthy and right on track. Tonya is 19 weeks along and looking great! Congratulations you two!

This is Cade pre-party hangin' out in dad's chair. He's got the pose down pretty good I'd say. Like father, like son.

GO BEARS!!!

Bath Time

Look at my cool new pacifier!

Although it's too big right now for him to use, Cade wanted to show off his new pacifier with his name on it! He has one in white, navy, and light blue (shown here). They are too cute! You can check them out at www.mypacifier.com

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT JESSICA!

Cade just wanted to say Happy Birthday to his Aunt Jessica today! Hope you have a wonderful day. We wish we could be there to celebrate with you! Love you guys and see you soon!

Happy 30th Birthday Ann!

Friday night our good friend Ann DeMarco was surprised with a 30th birthday party. She thought she was just going to the Dairy Queen for her birthday. As Cara and Ann were supposedly on their way to meet their mom at the DQ, their mom called them to say she thought she forgot to blow out the candles lit in her windows. So she needed them to run by and blow them out. Little did Ann know we were all waiting for her! The look on her face was priceless. She was totally surprised and thrilled to see everyone. Later that night, Cara told me Ann was still set on going to the DQ and asked a couple of friends if they were coming with. Too cute! Needless to say, she had a blast and I'm pretty sure she forgot about going to the DQ.
