Addi Pictures

It's been a while since I've posted (minus the two I just did), so I wanted to post some pictures of Addi to show how much she is growing!  I keep a liitle photo album in my purse of pictures of her because we are constantly running into people who haven"t seen her.  At school today a few of my parents asked to see pictures, and when they were looking at them I realized it was time to update the album.  She has already changed quite a bit.

Our Little Man Turns 4

I can't believe how fast time flies.  It seems like yesterday that we welcomed Cade to the world.  Today he turned four and I can't believe how much he has grown.  Every day is a blessing with him and he definitely keeps us entertained.  The things he says and the faces he makes are priceless.  You have to be careful what you say around him because you never know what he'll repeat.  I look at him and I am so proud of the little boy he has become!

Cade 08-20-06

Last night we made Batman cupcakes for his little birthday party at Ashley's.  He is Mr. Helpful and wants to do everything he can to help.  He was so proud of how they turned out!

This morning he woke up bright and early (5:30) to come and tell us that today he was four years old.  We gave him one of his presents...a Texans jersey.  Cade is really into sports now and everyone is a good guy or bad guy.  The Texans are the good guys, so he was pretty excited to get a jersey.  Here's a little story to support that everyone is a good guy or bad guy.  The other day my assistant principal pulled up beside us in the car.  Cade waved and smiled at her.  She pulled up a little ways and he noticed a huge sticker on her back window.  It was a large logo for the Dallas Cowboys.  He looked at me as serious as could be and said, "Mom, your boss likes the bad guys?!"  It was hilarious!!

Anyways, after school I picked Cade up and we met Darrell and Addi at Wings and More to celebrate his birthday.  Happy Birthday Cade!!

Totally 80's

Last Saturday we celebrated a guy from our small group at church, Larry's, birthday.  It was an 80s theme, so of course Darrell and I needed to find something to wear.  We went to Burlington Coat Factory (which was an experience itself) to find our outfits.  Suprisingly it wasn't difficult.  I thought we looked pretty good.

We had a great time hanging out with our friends!

An Afternoon with the Quads

Sunday we went over to our good freinds' house the Meijers, in case you haven't heard they have precious quadruplets.  Each time we are with them we enjoy hanging out and have many laughs.  When we arrived to the house, all of the kids were down for their naps....

Then the fun began.  Cade couldn't wait to see "all those babies."  He was anxious to get to play with all of them.  Once they all got up, the boys were ready to play.  Kale loved Cade!!  He would just laugh at everything he did. 

At the Meijer house, babies are not allowed to leave the living room (the rest of the house is closed off by a gate).  However, today was a new day!  The gate was opened and you wouldn't believe how excited the kids were.  Cade, Parker, Kale, and Landon (Gracie would join the fun later) would run back and forth and back and forth and laugh, laugh, laugh!

Everyone was in such a good mood that we thought we would attempt to get a picture of all of the boys together.  As you can tell, no such luck....but it was fun trying.

The most entertaining event of the afternoon was Gracie's feelings towards Addi.  Let's just say that she was not too fond of her.  We realized this when I held Addi up to Gracie, who was being held by Marcel, and she freaked out!!  She started pushing Addi away, shook her head "no", and grabbed onto Marcel.  It was hilarious!!  It was so funny that we kept doing it trying to get the perfect picture to show how upset Gracie was.  We didn't get it...this picture looks like Gracie actually likes Addi.  Don't be fooled!!

Parker on the other hand was quite fond of Addi.  Do I hear wedding bells in the future???

Are you serious?  When are you guys going to realize she doesn't like me!!

We had a great time hanging out with everyone.  The night was finished up with Cade chasing Gracie around the couch.  When he would stop, she would walk up to him and look at him trying to get him to do it some more.  Cade loved the attention and played some more.  He was great with all of them!! I got to enjoy some quality Yo Gabba Gabba time with the boys. 

Our visit with everyone was great! We can't wait to do it again.
