Our trip to New Jersey and many other pics!

As Cade says... "dadda and mamma"

Brian (Doyle's cousin) and the groomsmen

Brian (by the way, Doyle took these pictures as he had a little bit better view than I did)

He was able to get a quick shot just before Amy went into the gazeebo. She looked gorgeous!

Kelli & Scott

Amy & Brian - the newlyweds!

It was such a great party!

Cade was being shy with Alyssa.

It was a great turn out for Ma's surprise 80th birthday party and little Danny's graduation party.

G-Pa, Grandpa, Uncle Darryl and Uncle Dan - playing horseshoes

Cade finally loosened his grip on me and started playing with the kids.

Grandma and Cade...

Cade and dadda

Cade and Jackson started playing together at the end of the evening. Mrs. Blake is here with the boys.

Cade takes his turn at the pinata!

Mommom and Dylan

peekaboo!

This is the only way you want to see your child on the plane!

This is when we got home. He just HAD to sleep with his ball. I guess he missed it!

Here Cade is showing off his drawing skills. Those are happy faces if you couldn't tell!

Just a few pictures I took the other day.

Hello!

Aw cute baby!

Okay, that's it for now! I'll try and get more pics taken this weekend. The only new news we have is that Cade is going to have another bronchial scope done. He was diagnosed as having a small windpipe at his last scope when he was around 7 months. We can still hear him breathe so the ENT wants to go back in and take another look. They will put him out for it and then look below his vocal cords. Hopefully they will see that it's getting better and not worse. They are supposed to call me at work next week to schedule it. I'll keep everyone posted as to the outcome of that!

Uncle Aaron comes to visit for July 4th weekend!!

Okay, yes, I'm full aware it's been a month since my last update! Needless to say, I've been busy! Also, I totally messed up and have posted these pictures in reverse order. So the most recent (as of July 11th, are first. We've certainly taken more pictures since that date but I haven't downloaded them to the computer yet. But anyway, please enjoy!

Okay, is this not the cutest???

Now we get into the pictures where Uncle Aaron came to visit!

Aw, Cade really warmed up to Aaron on the last day!

You don't want to know the trouble it took to get this picture!

We played with bubbles the day after the Fourth of July.

Just a cute little girl picture...

Here she is after eating some cereal for the first time.

Next, we have the evening of the Fourth of July! The loud fireworks and early bedtimes of the kids didn't let us go anywhere to watch them unfortunately. So we just hung out at the house and lit some sparklers as soon as it got dark enough.

Cade was definitely too little to hold one himself... but he sure wanted to.

Doyle got the idea of lighting several sparkers together at the same time. And then somehow he got the idea of lighting a whole box together at once! See below!

Talk about a blinding light! The whole thing just lit up all at once and real quick.

This is what was left!

And of course earlier that day we went to the beach! Uncle Aaron helped Cade make sand castles. Cade tried anyway.

Cade had a lot of fun.

It was SO hot out that day.

Dylan and I stayed under the umbrella the whole time.

"cheese"!!!!

And the day before the Fourth of July... is when Aaron met his niece Dylan for the first time! The setting on the camera must have been bad because from here on out, the pictures are a bit grainy. We didn't notice until we were at the beach and they all came out white.
