The Days of Summer... Are Here

It was in the 90's today, so we set up out little water feature in the back yard. After Rob attached it to the hose, the 3 of us would run and jump over it, shouting, "yoo-hoo," the whole time.

(Notice Boe in the background, hiding in the house. He wasn't a big fan of the crazy water hose.)

Nice hair!

Kade kept yelling, "There's water everywhere!" He was slowly catching on to the point of the whole thing.

SUNDEVIL or COUGAR?

Rob took the fam up to Phoenix for the ASU / BYU baseball game. We sat on the lawn, and Kade threw his ball the WHOLE time. When we stopped playing with him, he found some college couples to throw to. He loved it!!

As you can tell we are a mixed family, so he sported gear for both teams. :)

Rewind...

I know, I know....

Where have we been?

Our external camera drive has been broken since January, and we finally replaced it. So instead of backposting, I'm just uploading a TON of pictures, and giving you little captions underneath.

We're back!!!!!

Kade and his best buddy, Remi. (and their Dads, Rob & Scott)

Rob sent me to California, for my birthday. (It was my Christmas present.) Kade stayed home with Daddy, and a little help from Memaw. I had such a great time with my BFFs, shopping, eating, going to movies, laughing, talking, and then crying when it was time to go home. I MISS them every day!!!!

(Me, Annie & Lisa) Gotta love those Napa outlets!!!

(Me, Lisa & Annie) Out to lunch

Me & My Girl, after a long day of shopping.

(Me & Lisa) Waiting for our chick-flick to start.

(Alison, Annie, Me & Lisa) Out to dinner on my birthday. Those garlic balls were delicious!

Annie & I snuck out after her kids were in bed, to get in another chick-flick at the movies.

I couldn't resist!!!! Gotta love her!

(Alison (ready to pop any day), Me & Annie) Who doesn't love an afternoon pedicure?!

Check out our matching toes! I still had cotton in mine!

Yummy sandwich...

Yummy bagel dog...

Enjoying dinner with my friends.

I had so much fun!

Can't wait to come back!

(Kade keeps talking about me going to California, "just like Lightning Mcqueen goes to California for the big race.")

Kade & Mommy cuddling on the couch.

Kade & Mommy making silly faces.

Kade & Daddy sitting very close to the floor, at the Suns game.

My Mom came to Tucson for her birthday...

Kade & Memaw having a sword fight with their chopsticks.

Hammin' it up with Memaw.

Playing ball with Boe, at the park.

Kade & Memaw loved going "up and down, up and down" on the see-saw.

Cheese!

Memaw's birthday cake, decorated by Kade.

Rob & I took Kade to the Tucson Children's Museum.

He loved this dinosaur that was outside.

He still talks about this Police motorcycle that he sat on.

Check out those cute little buns.

Baby Cousin

Kade is in love with his new cousin, baby Owen. I've never seen a 2 year-old sit on a couch and hold a newborn for so long. He had to practically be bribed to give him up. He just liked rubbing Owen's tummy saying, "He's so cute. He's going to get bigger like me."

(Thanks Jen, for sending us the picture.)

For the Love of Football

Downstairs I hear the little pat-pat of running feet.

Kade wanted his "football shirt" on and football on the TV. The only thing I could find, on the NFL channel, is something called NFL Scouting Combine. It's a bunch of big guys, doing drills on a football field. (I have no idea..) But now Kade is "running drills" with his football, just like those other "football guys."

And every once in awhile I hear, "Go Kade! Go! Go!" as he yells to himself.

Funny Faces

My Mom just sent this picture to me. We had fun making funny faces. Christmas morning. Kade loved it!!!!

All Aboard!

In early December, we headed up to Williams, AZ to take a ride on the Polar Express. Kade was so excited to ride on a choo-choo, he talked about it non-stop. Here are some of our favorite pics from the weekend...

This is Rob's favorite picture of Kade! I think he was yelling, "All aboard!"

We went to a steak house for dinner, before riding the train. Do you think Kade was excited?

We tried to take some family pictures in the snow. We even did a little sledding, just outside our hotel room.

Kade did not like sledding.
My Mom caught me in action, making a snow angel.
all bundled
Kade's listening to his bell from Santa.
Telling Santa, very quietly, that he "wants toys".
Santa was so cute, taking time to talk to each child. He even flirted a little w/ Rob's Mom. We caught her blushing...
I love this picture of Kade, looking out the window.

We had so much fun! And the snow made it so festive. Thanks to everyone for coming along w/ us! Hope to see you all again next year!

(Our friends Kam & Jerod, with their kids and Kam's parents, were on the train w/ us. But for some reason I have no pictures of them. I'll have to get some and add them in.)
