Bath time for Ty : )

Our last day of being a family of 3.
Tommorow come bright and early I'll be going to the hospital eagerly waiting to meet our little baby boy. We have to be at the hospital at 5am so we'll be getting up early! Like 3:30ish. Ugh. But we are so thankful that my mom (grandma) can spend the night and is able to watch Caden in the morning. So we don't have to wake him up and drop him off somewhere. As for the rest of the week Caden gets to spend the night at Grandma and Pops house. He's pretty excited to drink some of Pops apple juice and help them outside. If only he new now how much his world is going to change. I think he'll be a great big brother, he's already been learning how to help mommy and daddy with his baby brother.  But here's to having fun today and celebrating the last day of just us before little baby brother joins our family.
So this is what Caden looked like as a newborn, I wonder what this little man will look like? Can't wait to find out!!

Nothing like Fresh chocolate chip cookies! Mmm!
He was worried at first about all the chocolate on his fingers until I told him to just lick it off. Then he thought it was fun. Amazingly we only had one little spot of chocolate on his white shirt. Obviously you can tell I didn't realize he had white on until he had the cookie in his hands. Boy was I lucky. : )

Caden's New Bike

Sunday we went and got Caden a new bike. Oh how Caden loves it!! He wants to ride it everytime we're outside. He looks so cute and like such a big boy. He loves wearing his helmet and quickly learned that if he wants to ride his bike, he needs to wear his helmet. Here's a few pictures from the first day of riding his bike.
This is one happy little boy!
Thanks Grandma for taking my picture! : )

Pajama party with cousin Evan! : )
A night filled with toys, pizza, and a movie.
The next morning we all went to Mahoney State Park and climbed around in their tunnels and ball pits. 
Caden loved the ball pit as well as climbing over these triangle mats.
We can't even count how many times Caden went down this slide. This was such a fun place to take the kiddos.

Watching the snow melt is a wonderful feeling, it means that spring is on it's way. We have been loving the warm weather the last couple of days. Saturday and Sunday were both in the high 50's, so we were outside mostly all day. Caden loved jumping in the puddles of melting snow, along with not having to wear a hat or scarf or heavy coat. Yesterday was nice, but a little cooler. But still amazing weather for February. After this week of sunshine our snow should be all gone. Seeing the grass again is nice, but I think Cade's favorite thing is seeing the dirt. He's been trying to convince me to get the garden shovels and trowels out. Can you tell he remembers the garden and all the fun he had digging in the dirt?!
Oh what fun he had jumping and splashing in the water! His shoes were soaked and pants wet. Do you remember the last time you were this care free?
We even enjoyed a bowl of ice cream outside. Mmm..

Only if my little man could be sleeping like this now.
or even this...
It would make this Mama very happy. I need my little naps, otherwise I fall asleep early and leave my hubby to have the night by himself. When I say early I mean not much later after we put Caden to bed.
 But wait, what is this I hear? Silence? No toys, no talking, no nothing? Hmm...maybe he finally gave in! : ) It only took 2 hours. Wish me luck, hopefully it will last long enough for me to get a rest in.

Don't you wish that you had this much fun shoveling snow?
Scooping and dumping
He was so excited that he was finally able to fit into his car to drive, it took him a while to figure out how to get in with his snow suit on. But he was so determined to get in. Daddy ended helping him in the end.

What a happy face.
Obviously this was this week, before the snow came. We were lucky to have nice weather to be able to play outside for a longer period of time. I do have to say that we are looking forward to spring. : )

Buckets of fun!

The other day I moved all of Caden's clothes into his new room. While I was putting them into his drawers, he decided to dump out the two bottom rows of his toy bin.
 
He then stacked and unstacked and played with all six bins. It was keeping him busy and allowing me to finish his dresser, so I didn't mind. Plus he was having so much fun with what he was doing, why not make a mess?
After we cleaned up, we ate lunch and took a nap. Caden fell asleep right away, all that playing wore him out. : ) Not long after mommy laid down for a nap too! Aren't naps great? I'm trying to take advantage of these naptimes now, because before long they might be a little harder to come by.

Helping daddy scoop the driveway.


Caden loved playing out in the snow! Wearing his snow gloves not so much. He couldn't really pick anything up with them, so we traded for mommy's gloves. He was so good about bundling up, he loved getting his snow bibs and boots on. I'm glad we went out to play the first couple days, because now it's way to cold to play outside. We still have sledding to experience as well as making a snowman, so if the weather could cooperate that would be great. : )

Our adventure outside

Our little time outside the other day was filled with playing in the garage and stomping in the little piles of snow that we have.
The freedom of being able to run around outside was priceless. It's hard to be cooped up inside for so long.
When we came back in we had some cocoa.
