Dressing Himself

Cade is really good at dressing himself! He knows exactly what he wants to put on, and he likes to do it all by himself. He LOVES wearing my socks pulled all the way up. Every day I can count on Cade asking me "can I wear your socks mommy...ooohhh thank you". There's just something priceless about a chubby kid with a dirty but happy face completely content with himself walking around with mismatched clothes and shoes on the wrong feet. I love it! (Yes - we have gotten a few strange looks in the grocery store, but mostly smiles)

McCall

You might have heard of the phrase "The happiest place on earth". Well, to my husband, that only fits one place...McCall Idaho. Our kids are now discovering why that is.

Grandma gave Eli and Cade some money to buy something special at the store. Eli chose a mini stapler. This lead to making masks which led to creative super hero costumes that were worn faithfully for a few days.
Eli went snorkeling for buried treasure.
And he just "happened" to find some under the water buried in sand.


This was Cade's place of choice for his afternoon nap. Almost every day he would come inside for lunch and take a snooze on the recliner just his size.

Cute Baby Award

I visited Michelle and Bennett and their sweet sweet baby in California last month. They are making a great entrance into the exciting world of parenting!!

Milestones

Eli graduated from preschool last month - It was a little anticlimactic since he is not going to kindergarten next year, but fun for him nonetheless.



And Cade learned how funny it is to spray people with a hose. Luckily his aim wasn't too great!

Memorial Day

cousins + rocks + water = FUN

Jimmy decided to take a "refreshing" dip in pure snow run off!

Introducing our Future Farmer of America.

We will be adding another little boy to our family in October (and it looks like he might be a thumb sucker).
