Jacob and Rachel Addie

Jacob and Rachel, two of our very close friends, are expecting their first little bundle of joy mid-June.  We went to San Antonio for a shower for both of them and had a great time.  We don't get to see them very often, but when we do, we make the most of it.  The two of them are about to move to Arkansas.  Jacob is relocating with his company.  Darrell and I wanted to make sure we were able to see them before they made the move.


One of Jacob's parent's friends hosted a shower for the two of them at their home and we went and had a great time.  Cade absolutely loves Jacob, so needless to say a lot of wrestling took place.  I think Jacob also found a special place in his heart for Addi.  He asked to hold her while he and Rachel opened their gifts.  While they were opening the presents, he even managed to get her to go to sleep.  I think he's a natural!

The Kiddos

As usual time is flying by and I'm realizing I'm doing an awful job keeping up with  my blog.  The sad part is when I go to check on what all of my friends are up to, I say to myself, "Man, I really need to update our blog."  Then before I know it more time has passed by and I still haven't updated it yet.



Addi turned nine months old on February 26th.  It's so amazing how many new things she does and how much she grows every day.  I look at old pictures and can't believe how much she is changing.  She smiles ALL the time and absolutely loves her brother.  It's crazy how funny she thinks he is.  I love watching the two of them together.  Of course, she already has figures out that Cade's toys are way cooler than hers and those are the ones she always wants to play with.  According to Cade, several of his toys are "too small" and "too dangerous" for her.  "Addi could choke on them" he likes to say (even about the toys are that are perfectly fine for her to play with).  She is crawling everywhere and is now pulling herself up onto things.  Every once in a while she gets stuck and can't figure out how to get back down to the floor (it's just so far away).  We just watch and eventually she figures it out.

Addi 9 Months



Cade has started his second season of soccer and they won their first game!  Hopefully this season he will have more of a winning record.  There are a couple of kids from his team last year on his team and his really good friend, Luke, is also is on his team.  He LOVES soccer and is always asking when practice is and when his next game is!  He has enjoys riding his scooter and we're still working on teaching him how to ride his bike without training wheels.
