we have a two year old...

I cannot believe that Cade is already two! It is absolutely amazing watching him become such a great little man. I especially love seeing little bits of Andrew and me come through in him, but for the most part he is very much is own self!!
So needless to say we had a great party for Cade on Saturday. Both Grandparents were there, aunts, uncles, and even Thea, Rob, and Matt drove up from Iowa to celebrate!

We let him open his presents from us as soon as he got up in the morning.




Then we let him have chocolate milk...




Then cake...








Which somehow he didn't finish!


He got to play with Jillian...


And open more presents!







Eve had fun watching her brother

Though unfortunately she was sick.
In fact, Cade, Eve, and I all had terrible colds all weekend, but I think Eve had it the worst. She not only had a bad cold, the kind of cold where the second you lay down your nose is completely full making it impossible to breath, but she also got her second tooth. It was a long weekend for all of us.
But, sick or not, we still managed to have fun.

Climbing trees...



Swinging...



Crazy mowing...



Cat attacking...



Bath time togetherness...



Hiding in our bed...



And cute faces...






We probably all got sick from our big day at the State Fair last week...


Cade went on his first Merry-Go-Round...

And had to pet every animal in every barn!



He got to eat is first Pronto Pup!



And after 5 hours at the fair, they were out!







I thought I should also put up some house photos, as we have been making progress!






The east and west sides are completely sided...




The middle section should be done soon and after that we can start painting again!


I can't wait to use this bathtub.
