Caden's 1st Birthday!

My baby is turning into a toddler much too fast. Before I know it, we'll be sending this boy on a mission. (ok, that is still a long way off it but, it sure does feel like we'll be there before we know it.)


We had a pirate party for our little guy. He really enjoys playing with the "big" kids. So much so that we had to rush to do his cake because he was fading fast. He ended up passing out before the party was even over. It was a great day!

buckle up...

...it's going to be a long post. Enjoy.

Football season has come to an end. To say that Caden loved the games would be an understatement. He pretty much had free rein to run all over the sidelines.

We celebrated the upcoming arrival of my new "nephew" - my cousin Brian's son. His wife, Anne is such a trooper, you really have no idea. Let's just say she is 41 weeks and being induced today!

Mom and Tom had birthdays.

We played at lots of parks, the splash pad a couple times (thanks Janene and Jessi for that hidden gem) and ate out with friends.

We came across this adorable little mummy. The costume fell to pieces before we even got out of the house. I'm not embarrassed to admit that I made it and kinda failed. There's always next year.
