I look so sweet...

Everyone at the school had fun dressing up like a character from a book.

Caden was the cutest.

That's My Boy!

If you know Caden, you know he LOVES music. How can you tell? He is ALWAYS humming, singing, humming! When I say always, I mean ALWAYS - continuous, constant, unceasingly without exception. And it's usually not words, it's a bunch of DOOs and DAs. He does truly have a knack for picking up harmony parts and remembering melodies, though.

I told Caden he has Doug's feet (my brother) and he said, "Oh Gee, I better switch them back." Ha ha. What a clever little bug.

He's got a knack for taking pictures too. He put us right in the center! That's my boy! (If you know ME, you know I'm very center-conscious. Ha ha. I think it's almost an OCD issue.)

Lucky 7

7 Pictures Because She's 7 Months - Any excuse for posting lots of pictures!

Yummy

That's my girl! She's gonna love no-bake cheesecake just as much as her mama!

I even got Caden to try the cheesecake. He humored me and pretended he liked it, but he didn't want more than a bite which meant, he wasn't a true fan.

My kids looks so good in orange!
I just wanna eat them up!

Enjoying a picnic!

Blessed.

She's been sitting up this month...

Sort Of. Sometimes.

Unpredictable

We are learning to make the most of it when the weather ruins our plans...by now we know that Texas weather can be so unpredictable.

Too windy and rainy to go out CAMPING like we had planned...

So we went camping INSIDE.

**************************************

Before the storm came, the winds were outrageous.
The upside to wind - you gotta have it to fly a kite!

Motivation

Caden earns stickers. When he earns enough stickers, we let him pick out a toy, treat, or one time it was bamboo. I'm teaching him to be patient, to work, to make goals, etc.

The promise of a sticker also motivates him to comply with my requests.
I wondered how many stickers it would take to get him to try a new food ... one he has previously gagged on to the point of throwing it up - a tortilla. The magic number was eleven dinosaur stickers and some time on the computer. (He liked the tortilla, ate the whole thing, and had another one later that day!)
BRIBES WORK! - I mean REWARDS work. ;)

She's So Vain -

She probably thinks this post is about her.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall...

...who's the most adorable baby of all?!

St. Patty's Day

Caden: So how about if we have a blue day tomorrow? And if Daddy doesn't wear blue, I'll check him out, and I can pinch him.

Me: Okay. Good idea.

Watch Out Daddy!
