Holds his own Bottle

It's official, he doesn't need us anymore.  Ok, maybe a little..  ;)  










Taking a packing break!

bubbles!!!

Thumbs-up!














Ok, I laughed so hard while taking these last shots.  Again, all I did was ask Caden to smile.  This is what we got:







haha.  I'm still laughing at it.

Nice Hot Day

Abby, Nicole & Jeremy came over for dinner.




The boys and I enjoyed a FULL day of sunshine





 I want to just eat him up!




Caden loved dumping water on his Dad's head.  It was over 80º, I'm sure Jimmy didn't mind at all.

So, Caden never smiles for pictures... I finally got him too:

Oh Boy!

The boy is obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  So his 2nd birthday party theme HAD to be just that!  I painted the characters. (Pluto was my favorite)  Kim had the Mickey & Goofy dolls from when we were little. The favors included those red bags filled with Mickey Mouse dried fruit, mickey tattoos, and goldfish.  The kids also got mouse ears (yes, made those too) and a bucket with a shovel.

Games: Find Pluto's Collar and Pin the Nose on the Mickey.
We borrows the weiner roller from our friend, Matt.  That was a hit!  Jimmy set-up the bounce house as well.




I gave my mom a real challenge this time.  (Don't I always?)  She always thinks her cakes suck, but they always turn out to be so amazing.  I told her, ya need to make a clubhouse.  And this is what she came up with.  That woman's got a real talent!  Wait until she sees my idea for Ryder's first bday.  hehehe

Rest your hands, Mom!!



Love the little details.  the "glass" in the windows were made out of sugar sheets!  And the clubhouse- - fondant covered rice krispie treats





Told you he loves it!





You know, Kim, Mike, Joe & I couldn't NOT try the game.






Baby Abby & Aspen   CUTEST



I made the kids (and Jimmy & Robbie) go find the gnome that Carey hid.  He's coming to your yard soon.






Caden loved when everyone sang to him!!!  Melts my heart.








Ty & Chase helping Caden open gifts from them.  And Robert designed the dragon toy!

Baby Food, Cartoons, Seals, Baby Blues, & Water Wow

Ryder's 2nd attempt at baby food.  Not so good.  He did really well today though!   Kim & Caden are playing games on her iPad.



Ryder tries to get up and crawl so badly.  He looks like a seal.  Haha  so cute.



BEEEEEEEautiful baby











The Boylans got Caden this cool water coloring activity book while he broke his leg.  Is it bad that I like to play with it?
