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.

Happy Easter!

We had Cayden's FIRST Easter today! We started with some yummy lunch at Auntie Cheri and Uncle Terry's followed by some... yummy lunch (yes... MORE yummy lunch!) at Grandma Mary Jo's and Papa Johns. Happy Easter!

Abby's new trick!

Kailey was in town for a few weeks and during her time she taught Abby this...

We went to Washington DC with Grandma Mary Jo to visit Uncle Michael, Auntie Amanda, and Kuma. It also happened to be peak Cherry Blossom time so we saw that and also a lot of DC's attractions including the Smithsonian of American History where we saw Abe Lincoln's hat, the Ruby Slippers from Wizard of Oz, some of the First ladies gowns, and the 30 x 42 foot American flag that flew over Fort McHenry that inspired the Star Spangled Banner. We also saw many of the National Monuments including the Lincoln, Washington, WW11, Vietnam War Memorials, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetary... YES- it was action packed but so much fun! We also got to celebrate Aunties 31st birthday with a cookout and egg decorating (thanks Uncle Michael!). Enjoy the pics... you should go too!

SO COLD!

Cayden asked very politely for some of Mom's Coconut popsicle so we gave him some. By the looks of this video you'd think it was a pickle popsicle!!!

tEEth brushing!

Now that we have 5... that's right FIVE teeth it's time to brush! Tonight was the first night we gave him a toothbrush and he liked it.... he must have some of his Auntie Val's (a dental hygenist) traits!
