Halloween!!!

While this was technically Cade's second Halloween, it was the first one that he actually was aware of. He made his official trick-or-treating debut as a chicken. I found it hilarious. He loved walking around holding his juice and his pumpkin trick-or-treat bag... but he didn't want to go to the doors and get candy. We would walk up with his cousins (Kamryn & Cullum (4 yrs), and Brennan and Breckan (2 yrs)), and when the person opened the door and started handing out candy, Cade would very matter-of-factly just say, "No. No," and walk away. He never got upset or cried or anything, he was just like... "This is wierd. Who are they? Why am I here?" But he had a blast watching everyone else and just walking around the Plano neighborhood.

Can't wait til next year!! Enjoy the pics.

The Texas State Fair

Well, Cade was finally old enough to actually enjoy the fair a bit this year. Last year, he couldn't care less. But this year -- woh. He was ALL over it. We didn't make any formal introductions to Big Tex, because frankly, Big Tex scares me. He'd certainly scare Cade. But Cade LOVED the barn animals. I mean LOVED. I wish I could post video, because he was literally shouting random words across the petting zoo to try to get the attention of the goats. He's psycho.

And now a word to my crappiness -- I have been the worst blog updater on the planet. I deserve every bad word and every vulgar thought about it. I am not in denial.

Anyway, here's to a better future in blogging for everyone. I hope you enjoy the fair pictures.

OH! And I know that everybody probably knows this by now, but I figured I'd also just throw out there that David and I are expecting kid #2. Woh. I am due May 12... so I'm just now about to end the first trimester. Why the heck would anybody have ANOTHER BABY???? And this time, we did it on purpose!!! :) Just kidding. .... Well, kind of. :)

I'll let everyone know when we find out if it's a boy or a girl -- probably close to Christmas.

Happenings Lately

We have been up to A LOT the last few weeks, so instead of just writing a huge post about what we've been doing...I just decided to post a bunch of pictures. That's cooler anyway.

This is a new rug we got for our living room. It's hard to tell in the pictures, but it's a deep red/brown/tan long shag rug. We like it a lot. We're putting wood floors down in the living room in the next month or so... so we have been kinda looking for a rug -- and found it!

We painted and laid wood floors in our guest bedroom. FINALLY! Dad and David did all the work and it looks amazing. We painted it a nice pale blue b/c this room will eventually become Cade's bedroom whenever we decide to have another little monster.

Here is Cade "helping" us pull the tape off the wood floors the day after we laid the wood down. He at least thinks he's helping...

We finally painted David's grandma's dining room cabinet. The hardware and doors still aren't put on...but I needed a project break, so this is the state it's in now... We think it looks awesome!

We went to Hot Springs last weekend for a nice, relaxing getaway. It was fun to spend time with Carol and Terry. Cade loved going outside and exploring CONSTANTLY, while David and I got to take in a movie and do some morning mountain biking. We love Cade, but it's great to take some breaks! Cade obviously enjoyed some La-Z-Boy lounging one morning -- in Terry's chair!

Cade's friend Abbie left her bow over at our house one night. Well, I found it the next morning, so I decided to let Cade wear it a while. I thought it was funny. David didn't. :)

This is Cade's new game. Every morning, while I get ready in the bathroom, he is just not happy UNLESS he's in the bathtub throwing everything he can get his hands on into his little bathtub with water in it. I have no idea why this is fun, but he loves it. What we didn't get a picture of was when he climbed into his little bathtub with all the floating paraphernalia in it. It was hilarious... and he was soaked head to toe!

That's all we've got for now! We'll update after the 4th of July with new pictures! God Bless!

We're Crap

Well, we haven't updated our blog in like 3 lifetimes. So, we pretty much are crap. BUT, we have been really busy and I PROMISE to take some time tonight to update everyone with pictures and everything. LOTS has been going on. We have painted a big piece of furniture that we in herited from David's grandmother. We have installed new wood floors in our guest bedroom and repainted it b/c it will eventually be Cade's "big boy" room. We took a trip to Hot Springs to visit David's family...

So, stay tuned folks and you'll get pictures!!! I hope that this happy face shows up as a happy face and not a J. Kelsey's blog taught us all about that.

Little "Cade"amoto

Cade debuted his new outfit that Kelsey and Derek sent him from Japan today at Mother's Day Out. Nicki called him "Cade"amoto all day. How cute! Anyway, he looks so funny walking around the house in his little Japanese getup. He pretty much walks everywhere now...he's a crazy little guy, for sure.

Cade's Easter Pic

I'm pretty much horrible, b/c it's taken me this long to get a picture of Cade from Easter up here. Anyway, this is a snapshot from Ima and Popsy's house. That's my mom and dad for those of you who can't translate. :)

Cade's been a sick little beast the last few weeks. On Easter (just 2 weeks ago), he had Roseola and this last weekend (up until today), he's had 104 fever with an ear infection and upper respiratory infection. But he's good to go now since he's pumped full of antibiotics. Poor guy -- maybe it's because Dallas is the #1 city in America with the WORST AIR QUALITY. Canada, here we come! :)
