A Bicycle for One

I got this decoration from my mother-in-law. It is perfect for Cadence :).

Christmas Part One (for real)

We actually had one Christmas before the pictures I posted we did Christmas with Aaron and Erica at their house -- but we forgot our camera. But it was a lovely time! I promise.

Christmas Part One

This is the Christmas from our house. We opened Grandpa and Grandma Laux's gifts and our own. It was fun to see Cadence get into ripping paper. The evening didn't quite start off well. I stopped at Wal*Mart (my first mistake) for dinner supplies. Steak, garlic bread, mashed potatoes and cookies. Never get steak at Wal*Mart - that or else don't let Tiffany cook them. They were horrible. Ryan only ate a little bit and said (letting me keep my dignity) that he just wasn't that hungry!! HAHAHAHAHA. Then we did gifts and it was really fun. The pink blanket is a really soft one that Ryan picked for Cadence, since she sleeps with a soft blanket it is perfect. The books and train are from Doug and Bonnie, she loves all the gifts from them. The pink fleece are from my Aunt and Uncle in Florida. It is adorable on her.

Flashback

In honor of Cadence's 6 month birthday - December 15th, I would like to remember a simplier time...hahaha. No, these are just really cute pictures. Cadence would like the say "Peace" and good tidings and then she was playing a cheerleader and the last pic is of my sister and Cadence when she came down to see us after the birth. Good times.

Green Beans

This really summed up her experience with green beans. She kept opening her mouth in good faith that we just might give her something "good". Poor girl, gullible just like her mother. :)

Two Baby's in a Picture

Really, they like each other...at least we think!

This was the best one. That is all your getting :). It was hilarious to watch them, Ryan just kept snapping pictures in hope that one would work out :).

Random Thoughts for a Friday

I don't have any cute new pictures to upload yet. I wish I was a little more creative with my picture taking. Maybe I will strive to become that -- a creative photographer. So if you see some crazy pictures in the future it is because I am trying to achieve this goal.

Lets see, other things that have been happening...Cadence eats a little food now. That is always exciting. She also sits up a little bit. I should get some pictures of those things on the blog. We are fully decorated for Christmas and almost done shopping. We would have been but had second thoughts on my dad and brother's gifts. We have some left to get my sister too. And we have to ship some gifts to AZ...so really we aren't done at all.

Cadence gets up pretty early these days and most of the time after she nurses she just plays. I do Bible study but then have time to do other things...any ideas from you guys out there? I am not really wanting to do house work that early... and I should work out...but I would rather hear what you all think I should do that early!

Boot update: I got my leather boots!! WAHOO they are fabulous, and I look Ryan in the eyes almost when I have them on and he is bare foot. They are really a great boot.

I am not ready for my 27th birthday...which is less than a month away. I am in denial that I could be that old when I feel like I am 22 still. I said feel - not look... In a lot of ways I don't want to be who I was back then. I like where I am in life. I just like that "younger number" a whole lot better :).

We had Erica, Kira and little Caleb over today. He is 3 months older than Cadence and really reminds us of how non-baby-proofed we are right now. We will have to get some serious gates up before the next few months. We tried to get the two together for a picture...I will have to post the sequence of events that followed.

Well, enough random thoughts for now.
