Our visit to Indiana & Ohio!!

While Doyle worked last week, Cade and I flew into Dayton, OH for a long weekend! Cade had a blast! The lesson I learned was not to take connecting flights with an 18 month old by myself!! That was too draining for sure! Enjoy the pics!

"Auntie" Velva met us at the airport and thank goodness she did! We had a terrible time with getting a vehicle with a car seat. It worked out okay in the end. It was a huge help that she was there to help occupy Cade's attention while I was messing around with the car seats! She also brought along a TON of baked goods from where she works "Big Sky Bake Company" or something like that. Sorry if I got that wrong!

Grandma was able to take Friday off from work so we got to hang out with just her for most of the morning. I always like to walk around the yard whenever I make it home. It was a lot of fun this time since Cade could run around by himself.





My cousin Bernie, her husband Chad and their daughter Avery came over Friday evening. Cade loved hanging out and playing with his cousin Avery! He was very disappointed after they left!


Grandma put down some pillows and it only took a few minutes before Cade fell fast asleep in this position.


Saturday morning we enjoyed some more baked goods. Did I tell anyone how much weight I had gained at my doctors appointment when I got back into town? I'm blaming it on all the yummy food I ate that weekend!

Saturday we drove up to Aunt Ila & Uncle Butch's house. We had a lot of visitors come to see us! Aunt Sharon, Uncle Dewey, Cousin Jorjia, Cousin Charlie, Aunt Lola were all there plus me and Cade, mom and dad and of course Aunt Ila & Uncle Butch!

Cade loved running around the yard.

Cade finally took a nap for the first time all weekend I think!
Cade and Grandma had fun playing in the kitchen.

Okay, that's it for now! Today we are heading to a 3 year old's birthday party at the park. Should be fun! I'm sure I'll have pictures to post later of that. Have a great weekend! We will!

The Cooper side of the family comes to visit!

Diane came down right before we went to NC so that she could watch Kit and Snickers for us. Then when we came home, Ma was here as well. That next week was my busy week at work. So it was a great help that Diane and Ma were here, especially since that was the first week I started feeling sick! A few days later Chip flew in as well. Here are some pictures from their visit.

How cute is this picture?


Their condo has this really neat little water area for the little kids.


And there was no one at the big pool either. I wish I had had my swimsuit! The water felt so good!


The Dragers came for a visit to see Ma as well.



Back to the condo, Cade loves the bubbles.


Cade says have a good weekend!
