It's warm again

On Friday Chris and Jillian came over with bubbles for Cade!


Jillian decided we should go sledding on the last patch of snow left


I was worn out quick!


Grandma with 3 out of 4 Grandkids


Jillian and Cade watching Shrek


The next day was even nicer out so we headed to the park


Not only does Cade enjoy going down the slide, but up is just as much fun!


How do you teach a kid to ride a bike when their feet don't reach?


We took Genevieve on her first swamp walk




Cade enjoyed the water in the swamp


Cade in our soon to be kitchen


And that concludes the swamp walk...


Cade has been watching Mommy do yoga maybe a little too much


Cade in high heels, walking perfectly...

Cade had a quick check up the other day. He is 37" talls and 25lbs...I think thats how much he weighed at 18 months! He is a perfect little boy. His talking is amazing, and every day he repeats more and more of what I say. He is even starting to use sentences. He's always been great at communicating, it is just amazing how fast they learn. The other day at breakfast Cade pointed to his new molar and said "Ow". It is nice to know what exactly is bothering him. He has also taken to calling us "Mommy" and "Daddy" instead of Mama and Dada. And he also enjoys calling his Daddy, "Andrew". He picked it up one nite when I was calling for Andrew to grab his pj's while he was in the bath. I started yelling "Andrew" and before I knew it, Cade was too. Andrew has been trying to teach him "Patti" luckily he just shakes his head NO and says "Mommy"!!
Genevieve is also quite the talker. She coo's at anyone who smiles at her, but still doesn't stay in a good mood for long if Mom's not around. She is pretty much sleeping through the nite, which we are very grateful for, though every once in awhile she suprises us at 2:00am!




Genevieve doesn't hate tummy time, she just finds it incrediably boring, half the time she puts her head down and tries to fall asleep.


Any day now she'll find her thumb


The other day Cade grabbed the yard stick out of the closet and started riding it like a horse, I have no idea where he learned this from!

My kids are adorable

Length comparison






Build a snowman one nite...


Blow bubbles the next...

Off the charts

We took Genevieve in for her two month check up. She is 25 3/4" long and 12lbs, 10oz.
Cade has started to tell us when he has to "poop" and "pee", he is even waking up in the morning and from naps dry. Lets hope potty training goes well.

more pure white snow

We got more snow this week. This is how Cade
dressed himself to go out and play in it.




19+ inches






Cade got to help Grandpa plow


I call this "Survival Mode"


On Saturday we watched Neil race his last race of the season


13x


I love these moments
