Things We Do

Here are some funny things that Cadence has done lately. I am trying to teach her to feed herself. The yogurt was a Sunday - not the smartest morning to start letting a 16 month old feed herself... The others are just funny things I have caught her doing. Speaking of -- I don't see her right now so I should go look.

Happy 4th Anniversary

I tried to dig up pictures from around each anniversary. Apparently we have not been in a picture together since Cadence was born...hahahaha. It took a bit but I found one from "Pumpkin Day" that the Tammany's took for us last October in Arizona. Maybe tonight before we leave for the night that Ryan planned we will take a picture. I am very excited to go out tonight, maybe will get crazy and go get coffee after 10:00 AM :). It feels like a long time since we had a date. The four years has gone by really fast but we have already grown a lot together and as individuals. I wouldn't change the journey for anything. May God bless the next year as we grown in Him. Oh yeah, the first year was the wedding (duh), the second picture was our first anniversary trip to Boston, the third is from July of 2007 (the baby is Lauren our niece) but we apparently didn't get in a picture together in the fall..., the fourth picture is from AZ last fall.

Happy Anniversary

My parent's are celebrating their anniversary today - 36 years! Thirty-six years of joy, challenge, heartbreak, floods, triumph, tears, laughter, kids, moving, staying, farming, jobs, vacations, babies, sports, hunting seasons, planning, hospital stays, pets, toddlers, friends, teenagers, ER visits, graduations, a granddaughter and the foundation of it all is love rooted in Christ our Savior. They have been and will continue to be an example for Ryan and I as we grow in our marriage. I hope and pray they have a beautiful day and enjoy each other's company as they continue on into another year that is sure to be packed with new adventure.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

I guess it has been awhile since I blogged -

An update would be that we are down with the rough-in plumbing and now the basement floor is almost ready to be put in! We are currently trying to decide what the siding will look like - hopefully, we decide soon. We are more than excited to see the framing happen - then it will look like a real house :). This picture was from when we took mom out to see the foundation and it was very cold out. I didn't have enough clothing for Cadence, yes she is wearing a sun hat and my jacket over her jacket. It has been unusually cold here for the fall, we haven't really had too much of that in between weather that is so nice in fall. And the news just talked about how record rain years in the past have had record snow fall!!! HAHAHAHA, I love snow so that is good for me - bad for building a house. Well, maybe not, I have never built a house but it just means more mud/snow/water tracked through the house. I had other things that I was going to blog about - cleaver things - but I have forgotten. I guess I should keep a notebook with me - or just blog more often.

Pumkin Farm

Cadence really liked to run around at the pumkin farm. It was fun to watch her actually like the kiddie fun parts. The other picture is of her and her best friend, Piper.

First of Many Fall Posts

Fall is my favorite - well, really I like the change is seasons. We had a fall family fun day with our church for the youth pastor who is moving to Africa with his family to do missions work. We too full advantage of the photo opportunities. There will be more to come - like on of us riding a horse and one with her getting her face painted. But those are on a friend's camera. Since you can tell from the first picture she is not so thrilled to be sitting in the face chair alone!! :) Pictures 2-4 illustrate how a toddler thinks you should approach a kid - first you point and yell, then you get closer, lower and yell louder while pointing then you finally get up the nerve to touch, of course while still yelling. Come to think of it - I am not even sure that she actually touched this little kid she might have stopped an inch short of it. But one thing is for sure, goats take much abuse.
