Yummy Cereal

Noelle got her first taste of rice cereal this week. She wasn't so sure about it to begin with, but she eventually ate her 1 Tablespoon! She only gets cereal 1 time a day, but she is getting better and better at keeping it in her mouth!

Kade's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Kade's 2nd birthday on Aug 28. I can't believe he is already 2! We had our little family celebration on his actual birthday and then that weekend we had the grandparents and the aunts and uncle over to celebrate. Kade had a lot of fun and received way too many gifts. He is really into the movie Cars, so he had a Cars birthday!

Our Noisy Neighbor!

Our noisy neighbor has been very brave lately. This peacock has made several appearances in our driveway, front porch and its favorite-downstairs just outside our sliding glass door. It is startling to open the door to let the dogs out in the morning and see this standing on your front porch. It is a very large bird, and very noisy.

Noelle's new hat!

Uncle Chris and Aunt Kristin got Noelle this cute little hat as part of her baptism gift. I love it and so does she!

Ready to work!

Kade's ER visit

Kade gave us all quite a scare a couple of weeks ago. He found my dad's pill box and took one of his heart pills. This just happened to be on a night when the most severe weather of the summer rolled through our area. It knocked out power at our house for almost 24hrs. When we got to the ER, the air conditioning wasn't working so it was VERY HOT! Kade was just fine, but they held him for observation until 2am. Here he is in his cute little scrub gown he had to put on.


One of the last fun activities we did the week the guys were in Canada was go to the County Fair. I know, how much more hill-billie can you get. Kade had a blast. He saw all kinds of animals and tractors. He didn't want to leave. Then we went into Amboy and ate supper at Snack N Go and ended our outing at the Dairy Delite were Kade got his first ice cream he got to eat by himself. He was extremely worn out that night, even with the sugary ice cream!

Lovin' Mac N Cheese

Kade loves Mac N Cheese. On this particular day, he was being very silly at lunch. I had stepped out of the room and when I came back, he had it on his forehead. Not sure how that happened, but I thought he looked cute!


Kade's first doughnut

While daddy was in Canada fishing, we had our own "vacation" here in IL and tried some new foods! Most people couldn't believe he had never had a doughnut and he was almost 2. It was like I was depriving him of the greatest thing EVER! He wasn't really sure about it. He was more interested in the banana actually. However, later that week when he got the 2nd doughnut, he ate that right up!




Kade and Grandma at the park

In late July Nate, Marshall, my Dad, Chris, Denny Weidman and his son Aaron went fishing in Canada. While they were gone, my mom came and stayed with the kids and me. Several nights, we went into town and played at the park. I'm not sure who had more fun, Kade or Grandma?


Noelle's Baptism

We had Noelle Baptized on July 5th, the day after being in my friend Erica's wedding. My brother Chris and Nate's sister Danielle are her godparents.
