Where to start?

I don't really need to state the obvious...it's been awhile since I've blogged. Over 2 months to be exact. It's hard to know where to even start and I feel so bad that I haven't blogged much about Caiden's first year of life. So I'm going to have to do some backtracking, but for now I'm just going to start with this month because I have to say...it's been a pretty great month!

We started it off right with a National Championship win by the Kentucky Wildcats!!

Celebrated Easter,

started swim lessons,

had a special house guest,


celebrated a milestone birthday,


and got so close to trying a first french fry!




It's been a busy month, that's for sure! Easter and swim lessons are going to get their own post but the high light of Adelyn's month was definitely dog sitting Winston for Aunt Corrie. He stayed with us for about a week and was a good little puppy dog. He did not however convince me or Matt that we'd like to have our own dog anytime soon.

This year marked the big 3-0 for me! I enjoyed lots of celebrating with family and friends. The pictures above are from a grown ups only dinner and a girl's plus Caiden birthday lunch. If you ever need someone to celebrate your birthday with you should really find some 3 year olds. They love birthdays! Even if it's not their own. They also know how to give really good presents...

Happy birthday! And Caiden is huge.

Two!

On August 2nd the Buddy Boy turned 2! He was and still is so incredibly proud of himself over this achievement.   Caiden is the most perfect combination of all boy and sweet and snuggly toddler that there ever could be! He loves trucks and balls, throws caution to the wind, and has a stubborn streak that isn't going anywhere. He adores his daddy more than I can explain, loves to get kisses from mommy and wants to do everything his big sister does. We never knew how much we needed this little boy until he arrived and we are so humbled and blessed because we were chosen to be his mommy and daddy.   How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?   1 Thessalonians 3:9  

10 years

Today Matt & I are celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary! Part of me can hardly believe that it's already been 10 years. I can still remember so many details of that time in our lives. The joy and excitement of the wedding and anticipation for the future. And another part of me knows that 10 years is not that long at all. We've only just begun!   We did not get any digital images from our wedding photographer (it was a different time back in 2003) but a friend took these and gave them to me.   One of my favorite parts of our ceremony was that we signed a covenant. Matt & I signed first and then both of our family's came up and signed. It was a really special part of our ceremony.         I am so thankful for these past 10 years with my best friend! When Matt & I met at a mutual friend's house 12 years ago I never could have imagined all that God had planned. But through it all - the victories and...

AdeG & KK

AdeG & KK: Partners in Crime     They love each other so much!     They can make each other laugh just by breathing...   When Adelyn gets her picture taken...   ...Caiden thinks he needs to have his picture taken.   This is how everyone walks their dog...right?     AdeG & KK - I love you!     Btw...   "AdeG" is a silly nickname for Adelyn that came about from a question like this - "What would my name be if you spelled it a-d-e-g?"   Whenever we do call her AdeG she laughs and says "my name's not AdeG!"    "KK" is what Caiden says when you ask him to say his name. :)
