The New ride!!!







We finally got the bike trailor up and running, the flag, and a helmet that fits his head! He loved it and we will definitely be at it again tomorrow!

19 Weeks tomorrow!




We are so close to the halfway point! I was feeling really good about my belly this time compared to "what I remembered" it to look like last time. Bummer... pretty much the same. However I have only gained 12-14lbs (depending on the day) this time around and last time I was up to 30... so it is much better this time. I think there's a difference in the "bump" which secures my intuition that this little baby is most likely a girl!

In case you forgot....

"how old is Cayden?"

Pool fun!










Nama got Cayden a new pool for his birthday. For awhile we thought we might have to set it up in the living room in order to be able to use it this year! However, the weather in Superior for the week has been mid 80's so we are taking advantage of the pool and Cayden is loving it! He was playing in the pool one day while Daddy was working on the landscaping and helped out every now and then. Then there was one time we had him fully dressed, it was in the evening, and I thought he was going to splash around... he squatted down and crawled right over the side on his belly! Of course... I couldn't get to my camera quick enough but got the aftermath... yes- there's water in the pool!

Summertime fun




Although most of us have wondered if summer will ever come... we have taken advantage of all the nice days we've had so far. Cayden loves the wagon, his water table, spending time at the cabin, and just today- his sandbox FILLED WITH SAND! (Sorry... it's crooked- I keep forgetting that the computer won't turn it!)

Buddies




Cayden has developed a great friendship with Abby. By the end of any length of time together Abby tries to hide from Cayden because she is worn out. It's pretty cute to watch and we're VERY glad Papa and Nama have a dog so we don't have to! This video is so quick but sooo cute!

Just too cute...
















Here are some pics to help you see this little personality emerging!

Daddy's birthday... 31!!!







Daddy turned 31 on June 3rd. We did a quick birthday party during his lunch break with blizzard... of course Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and then had the Manions over for the "must have Manion birthday cake-" Angel Food cake with homemade chocolate frosting!

Syd and Saul come to visit!







Before the birthday party Sydney and Saul got to come and stay with us for a week while their mom and dad went and found a house in New York. We had lots of fun- here are just a few highlights! Saul had something in his eye so we made a patch which turned into something that everyone needed! We went to the Firestation and got a tour of a fire truck and where they eat and sleep, and then the last pic was Saul... just being Saul. Although Cayden's not in any pics... he was along for the fun!

Happy FIRST Birthday Cayden!











The day has come it will be fun
to celebrate because Cayden's One!
We hope you'll join us on his day
to celebrate the IRISH way!
We had his first birthday party in an Irish theme in hopes that he develops a pride like his Daddy, Uncles, and Papa John. There were a lot of people and Cayden received a ton of great presents and had cake and ice cream for the first time!

It's about time!


Ok, yes... it's been awhile. Ok... a LONG while. I was politely reminded by Auntie Andi that the last post was Easter... meaning we have missed his first steps, the fact that he's walking (11 mths 1 week), the Birthday, and I'm sure so much more. So I will start to update you and start with his birthday.
