Caught Up!

Finally I feel caught up on posts!! A few other things to remember:

Cayden found some old food under his booster chair this morning and wanted to know if it was chair jam. I said, "chair jam?" and he said, "Yes, like toe jam, chair jam."

I laid down with him yesterday and completely out of the blue, he wanted to know how the baby got out of my belly-oh boy!

A few nights ago Cayden had his first test of homesickness and at 10:30pm I had to go pick him up because, "his belly told him he wanted to come home." Thankfully he slept over at my parent's house a couple of nights later with no problems.

Happy Belated Father's Day

Cayden decorated the wrapping paper and made a picture frame for Brandon at the park and was proudly reading each letter that was stuck onto the back. :)

Cayden's Friend Party

Birthday Boy!

Elianna, Elijah and Liam with Cayden

Karis, Derrian, Levi and Oliver

Derrian was the big winner of the stack the Big Mac box game

Cayden did really well too. :)

Derrian would have won the drop the coin in the cup game too, but I shook him a little on his last coin, b/c he was just too good:)

In June, I finally got around to having a small friend birthday party for Cayden. (I was just not that into it with everything that had happened with my dad.) However, I knew Cayden would really enjoy it, so I planned a pool party at my mom and dad's. It of course was cold and rainy and so I had to make a quick change of plans-Mcdonalds it was. It was actually very easy doing it there and I wouldn't mind doing it again. The party pack included a goody bag for each kid, a happy meal, cake, ice cream, and a worker that helped out and led the kids in a few age appropriate games. It was nice and easy for me! :)

Annual PBTV Fish Fry

Every year, in May, Brandon's work puts on an annual fish fry. We love going for the great food, fun and friends we get to visit with. This was Cayden's 4th year already! (He was 1 week old at his first fish fry) This year he got to meet Buddy the Dinosaur and Sid the Science Kid.

Sheila

Cayden and his pet monkey, Sheila.

Cayden loves his new friend. (Personally, I love the voice, compliments of daddy)

There were 2 other videos I really wanted to post, but they are too big. One is of when he first met Sheila, he liked her but was a little scared. The other was of her climbing up on his lap and he read her one of his Cars books. (Thanks April and Karl)

Hi Ho Cherry-O

Cayden had played this game at Madison and Noah's one day and really enjoyed it. I had never played it or even heard of it before. They gave it to him for his birthday and we've had a lot of family fun playing it. It's easy enough that Cayden can do it without help and it's actually pretty fun. Thanks Madison, Noah and Family!

Thanks Auntie Shalina

Cayden loves his box of Cars books, and I have to say, I do too! There's about 5-6 pages per book with one sentence per page! :) His favorite book is "Tractor Tipping" and he has heard it so many times he can almost tell it back to us word for word.
