Visitors

Ahhh, the spoils of a trip to Mexico! These are little presents from Great-Grandma and Great-Grandad! They are Christmas stocking (not really for her feet), a stretchy shirt that fits her and me! It is this crazy shirt that stretches out then really just shrinks back down, my Grandmas has 5 for herself. :) Also a "Loco Sip", that is its real name, it is a blue cow and you drink out of the tail, a blue halter swimsuit and a dozen or more foam balls that are used to pump up your veins (those are from Texas health fairs :). She loved even single gift and as you can tell modeled all of them for us. The tutu is the one I made her but Grandma wanted to see it on. Yes, I know she looks like a circus clown with all of it on.

The top picture was the morning they left - it was supposed to snow a whole ton so they left early and she has just gotten up. So sweet. The top picture was at 4 months old and the next one is current. It is crazy how big she has gotten!

More From Iowa

St. Patty's Day green picture - some of just hanging out in Iowa and then some more from the weddings.

We haven't had anything big going on in our lives. But we are ready for spring after out March snowfall. It was nice to have a day where we stayed in because of the weather and just hang out. But now it is 50's and almost all the snow is melting - back to "regular" productive life.

I will post pictures of Granddad and Grandma's visit soon! Maybe right now...

Iowa Adventure

These are just some pictures from our Iowa wedding adventure. I will post a picture from the other wedding when I get one from my mom.

Crawling - well, Centipeding

Cadence started crawling yesterday. It was funny, I was in the kitchen when Bonnie said,"Come here and look at Cadence". I thought she was rolling somewhere. As it turns out all you need to motivate a child to crawl is a shiny pair of orangey/gold bifocals. Who knew. She looks like a centipede when she moves. She pulls her legs up with her core muscles and then lunges her body forward and then repeats. Cadence only crawls for glasses or the remotes so far but it has only been 24 hours or so. Notice when she does involves the knees it is a little too much motion and she almost gets a rug burn on her little nose!

Sit, Look, Fall

Cadence was enjoying her modeling session and then she got distracted by her tutu. Then next thing I know, all I saw was tulle and a diaper. :) It happens to the best of us.

Yes, I think Cadence was licking the tulle. That is a funny picture. She was wearing a "Daddy's Little Princess" shirt and since the purple matched her little tutu I couldn't resist taking some pictures. She has become quite the little personality lately. She rolls everywhere and is very talkative. Last night she rolled over to the DVD's that we have sitting out and she pulled them all out and looked at each cover, then she kept going back to the cartoon covers. I promise we don't put in movies for her. :)

We are going to Iowa for a week. We have 2 weddings to attend. I am sure we will get some super cute pictures of ourselves all gussyed up (is that a word...) anyways. These posts will have to tide you over for a week or so. Sorry, I will not be posting everyday like I normally do...hahahaha.

Tutu

So this is a tutu I made for Cadence. I wanted it to be all purple but ran out of purple tulle. I will know better with the next one. It was fun to make and I think the pictures with a professional photographer will be adorable it in. She loved to play with it and pick up the tulle pieces. She also thought it was neat to roll around in. :)

New Pictures

Yes, this picture was a very loud moment in our living room :).

Spring Fever

These past few days we have been relaxing and staying inside. On Saturday we got a whole lot of snow (a whopping 4 inches), which is the most we have gotten all winter I think. We have just been waiting for it to melt in the upper 50's to 70's degree weather we are supposed to get. Sometimes when you spend too much time inside you have to get creative with activities. This is one example of that.

Ryan is in the final steps of getting his paramedic license. He has to take his test and hopefully that will happen this month. Sometimes cities are slow at organizing things. Ryan is also ready for spring weather so he can get outside and run around (that is what i call it i am sure he has a man term for it). It will be nice to go on walks, fish, tromp around and things like that. Even cleaning out the car has been put off until warmer weather.

I have been up to "new" things also. I have started doing some more crafting (I will show you pictures soon) and getting into reading books again. I also now have to watch what is on the floor. Cadence is not crawling yet, but she does get to her stomach and then roll to whatever looks fun to have - usually paper of some sort. This all started after Aislynn was here for a few days, as did the "mamamama moooooom" and some other really cute noises. We are excited to see what else she will teach her when they come through town in June! :) I am still in BSF and learning so much from the study of Moses. We do a community group with church and that really is bringing new subjects to think and meditate on. We purchased a HD video camera - the video I just posted is from our digital camera - I do not know how to work the new one yet. Well, I can work it but do not know how to download a video to the computer yet. Ryan said I have to read the manual in its entirety before I can work the camera!! HAHAHAHAHA! I don't know what he is afraid of - me messing it up? ME? NOOOOOOOOO.

Well, on with my day. I wanted to post some new pictures and a video then on to laundry and the like!
