Some random pictures

The two small pictures were taken at the Rib Fest last weekend. Sorry, I can't get them any bigger without causing them to become blurry. Kade and Elaina had fun goofing around together. At times they have a love/hate relationship. They really act like brother and sister more than friends sometimes. I'm sure it is because they have always been together so much.
This last one is obviously of my two boys. Aren't they cute? :)

What would we do......

...without these matchbox cars lately. Kade has been loving cars so Scott got his childhood car collection down from his mom's attic the other day to add to the fun. Kade can hardly leave them when we have to go somewhere. Today Scott made him a "garage" out of legos and Kade lined the cars up like this all by himself. Below is a picture that Kade took of me by himself. Whenever I get the camera out he thinks he has to take a picture too.

We have had a very fun long weekend together and there are more pictures to come. We went to the rib fest on Saturday with our friends. I will post soon with those pictures. Scott took most of the day off on Friday so we have had 4 whole days together. It is so good to be together.

P.S. I promise Kade doesn't wear that IU shirt everyday...it seems like every picture I post of him he is wearing it. :)

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?
