Our Anniversary

Well folks....We've officially made it four years. :) Yesterday marked our wedding anniversary. We went out last night and had dinner at Weber Grill downtown. Kade stayed with my mom all night so it was fun not having to worry about bedtimes and all of that. I even got to sleep in this morning without a little buddy to wake me up. I surprised Scott big time and got him a special watch. I was dying to give it to him all week and almost did on several occasions, but I'm really glad I just waited until last night. He loved it and I couldn't have been happier watching him open it. It has been an interesting year for us...we can't wait to see what else God has in store for our little family. Psalm 37: 23

"The steps of the Godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives."

Sweet moments

We really had an awesome weekend. The weather couldn't have been any nicer and we just enjoyed it. Kade and Sophi (my mom's dog that we doggie-sat for over the weekend) loved riding bikes on the Monon Trail. Kade got a garage sale treat- his new guitar. When I saw it I immediately knew he would love it. The last picture is off Kade and Mollie. Mollie's mommy Katie is one of my best friends and we were pregnant together with the kids. It has been such a joy to share motherhood moments with her over the past 2 years. Obviously, Kade and Mollie are good buddies. Who knows what the future will hold for them. Kade has a couple of "girlfriends" at this point. :)

Kade's new wheels

Kade was so excited to ride in his new bike cart last night. We had been looking to buy one of these for a while now and actually got to borrow this one from my boss. She was happy to get it out of her garage and we were happy to take it off of her hands for now. We can't wait to try it out on a longer family ride. Maybe we will make it up to the Monon Trail this weekend. As you can see above... Kade is a huge "helper" and took over the tire pump for Scott. Kade really enjoyed riding with Daddy. Maybe this will actually get Mommy to dust off her bike and use it.

What fun!

Above is the funny sight before my eyes when I peaked into our spare bedroom yesterday. Sara (our-actually more like Scott's- beloved cat) got cozy in Kade's Elmo chair for her afternoon nap. Kade wasn't too thrilled when he saw here sitting there. He loves Sara but didn't want to share his chair. He has been extra sweet to her lately. He loves to kiss her and "pet" her. She looks a little tense when he is petting her but she tries to trust him. He doesn't notice that her ears are laid back and her eyes are squinted shut in agony.

Below is Kade's newest favorite toy. It is in good shape but is actually like 15 years old I think. It was given to us a few weeks ago and I finally got it out of the trunk. (things just seem to get lost in there). Anywho, Kade loves it!! He and Elaina had their first car date in it as you can see. Kade drove them. Both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Doesn't Elaina look beautiful in her dress? She had to go out and get a new outfit for the date. :) You know how that goes. You female readers can relate I'm sure.

More pictures from the farm to go with last post

Isn't he funny?

Our Farm Boy

Kade and I made a trip up to Bamaw and Papaw Furrer's farm last Friday. Kade just loves it up there to say the least. Within 15 min of arriving he had already fell into the pond and needed a change of clothes. He really loved the fishing. He kept saying, "I fish too. I have worm too." He even got to eat his bounty that evening during their small "fish fry". I didn't know this but...Kade likes to eat fish. It was a surprise to me.

Well, when it was time to leave for the day Kade was very sad and wanted to stay with his "Bamaw" (my mom). Mom loved his idea so Kade spent the night at the farm and mommy went on home to daddy. We then met the next evening and retrieved our son back. It was a fun evening for Scott and I and Kade couldn't have been happier. When I told him that I was going home then he said, "Okay mommy...bye bye mommy." When he thought I might be staying after all he said, "No, mommy...No, mommy". Kade likes to have Bamaw all to himself.

As I drove away and headed towards home without Kade, I reflected on the last two years. God is so good. There is really nothing else to add to that. Kade has been the best gift that we have ever been given. It sounds so cliche but he is just growing up right before my eyes. I feel like I need to blink and capture every moment with him. I am so blessed.
