Window clings

Last week we got out some window clings and put them up. Everyday since then they have been rearranged, taken down, moved and put back up again. What great entertainment the snowflakes and snowmen have brought us.

Decisions, decisions for supper.....

Lately it's been so hard for me to think of what to make for supper. Nothing seems to sound good to me. I've looked through my cookbooks and online recipes and nothing seems to capture my attention. I usually ask Jacob what sounds good for supper and usually end up just making something and just eating it. I think the main problem is that i'm not hungry until an exact moment. I know that it's got to be that i'm preggers, but I was never this way before. It really just started within the last 2 weeks. Hopefully this phase will end soon and I'm sure Jacob is wishing this too, because there has been a couple times that he has come home and has had to make him and Caden supper because I haven't made up my mind on what to make. For lunch I've been making Caden something and then later on eventually making me something to eat. Ahh....here's to praying that I'll get back to normal soon! : )

Last year at this time....

It's hard to believe that this will be Cade's 2nd Thanksgiving. Time is just going by so fast. I don't quite see how big he is until I look back at pictures. This was last years thanksgiving celebration down and Jacob's parents house. It might of been a week before, but we were still celebrating Thanksgiving. I remember Caden loved playing with the leaves and kept wanting to crawl off the blanket, onto the damp slimy ground. I should have known then that my little boy would become a digger of dirt and really of all things. : ) So this was then....
   
                           
and here is now...Can you see the difference? Brings back memories of what he was like then huh.

We are looking forward to this years thanksgiving and creating more memories. Seeing him at the table as a big boy and not a baby is going to be so much fun. He is going to love being able to play with all of his cousins. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Just gettin' the sillies out!

Caden being Caden. Just getting those sillies out. : )

Halloween Pics!

What a fun Halloween we had, Caden got to spend the day with his cousins and as well as being able to go trick or treating with one of them. He loved his frog costume and still does, everytime he sees it he wants to put it on. : )

He couldn't wait to get out the door!

It took him a couple houses to realize that they give you candy and that you don't have to give them yours. What can you say, he likes to share.

Trying to keep the candy in his bag. He didn't really have that much, he just only wanted to hold one of the handles of his bag, so it kept tipping and falling out.

Caden got to have a taste of his first sucker, it was a chocolate tootsie pop. Mmm.

All the cousins together, showing off their costumes.

It's Pumpkin Patch Time!

Wednesday morning we headed to Sunwest Farms to pick out a few pumpkins. They have a little store there that is too cute and filled with neat things. But our mission from Caden was clear, Pumpkins!! And of course a hayrack ride. : ) This was the perfect place to take Caden to get his pumpkins, they are totally geared for smaller children and so friendly.

We first went on the hayrack ride, in which he loved, especially sinced it was being pulled by a tractor. Then it stopped for a little bit for us to pick out the pumpkins that we wanted and then we hopped back on. After we bought the pumpkins we walked back out to the field and walked to the multiple piles of pumpkins and had fun peeking through the little cut out signs that they had. 

As we walked around the store and barn, we saw that they had ducks, so of course we went and said hi. There little town was called quackerville. ; ) What fun we had. Caden loved every minute of it and Jacob and I had such a great time seeing him have fun and just being silly and free to run around. What great memories we made from this day.

Fun times at the playground.

We love this little neighborhood park, it's the perfect size for Caden. It helps give him confidence and the safety that he needs in a play structure. We are so excited to have a playground just down the street, it's getting built very slowly, but there is progress every week. : ) I just hope that we'll be able to use it before winter!

Climbing up the stairs.

Oh slides, how we love going down slides!

And then there's the sand, how he loves to dig in the sand, he tries to use the diggers, but isn't quite old enough nor tall enough to use them. That's alright though, who needs those when you've got your hands?
