The Circus

caden, molly & riley watched a circus that came into town!  it was the most random thing  LOL   they even had a kangaroo.  which, by the way, was kinda creepy-human-like.



we couldn't get him to smile for these shots.  so stubborn.

@ the Park

Caden & I went to Riverside Park and had the whole park to ourselves!

2012 Easter Egg Hunt

Kim & I took Caden to the Egg Hunt in town and I had to take pictures of the one in Solon for work, so we took him there, too.  :)




I love Kim's face.  She was frightened by all of the crazy parents going insane over these stupid plastic eggs

Happy 1st Birthday Caden!

Caden's Grandma made his cake




Caramel dipped pears sprinkled with sea salt, caprese wraps, and my delicious fruit salad.   We borrowed the boat shelf my dad made for my mom.  Stole it from her bathroom.  hehe



Mmmm




Had chicken strips and steak fries in the cones.















He was VERY neat with the cake.  Didn't make a huge mess.
























Aunt Kim made him this card




Of course, he was more interested in playing with his ball.

i promise....i'm going to update soon!!!!

I'm still here

Wow. I didn't realize that I already had these birthday pictures up.  I see I still need to work on the party pix.  They are coming soon!!!!  It's been crazy here with the photography and coaching.  I also have a deadline on Caden's book that I'm making.  So I am trying to get that done whenever I have time to sit down on the computer.

Well I have to go to Track practice (in the snow) now.  I'll be back soon.

Balloons!!!

As close to a smile as we could get that morning.  It was pretty chilly out.






I wanted to also do another photo shoot with these balloons but they died the next day!

Caden's 1st Birthday!

Caden got to open up some gifts from his Great Aunt Susie and his Great Aunt Debbie & Great Uncle John on his birthday.

Trying to get him used to the grass!  He isn't a fan yet!  By the end of this summer he will be!



















He was trying to eat the grass, too.



Love that face!









Love the scrunchie nose when he laughs














"Eh! Get that camera out of my face mom!"





'Give me that!"




"Alright, that's it!  I'm outta here!"
