Bluebonnets, Birthday Party, and Baby Girl!

April 2012 004
Kaden’s new thing is The Lone Ranger!  He has worn this cape and mask everywhere we have gone the last week.  He is a HOOT!  So, we HAD to have bluebonnet pictures with it on!

This is what I LOVE about 3!  If only you could get rid of the terrible fit pitching it would be a perfect age!

The cowboy hat goes EVERYWHERE Kaden goes, he L.O.V.E.S it.  He also wants to wear his jeans only these days, so he can wear his “metal belt” he calls it, that’s his western belt, and his cowboy boots! 
April 2012 010I hope this THREE year old cowboy always keeps his great imagination and dares to DREAM big his whole life! 
This sweet cowboy melts my heart!

I can’t believe how fast you are growing Kaden.  Everyone thinks you are at least four, not just turned three!  You weigh over 41 pounds, just switched you to a BOOSTER chair in the car last week.  You are TALL!  You measure 42 inches tall.  That’s 3’6!!!  You wear 4T clothes and a size 12 shoe!

You are still, and always will be, my baby!  I watch you sleep sometimes and just want to cry because you are growing up so fast.  I wish I could just keep you little forever.  I hope that you will always love your Momma and Daddy the way you do now.

Our niece Chandra had her 10th birthday party on Saturday.  I can’t believe how fast she is growing up either.  These kids have to slow down a little!

She ALWAYS gets the cutest girl clothes.  LOVE them!!!

On Sunday, we went to our friend Hayden’s Third Birthday Party!  Look at this adorable TRAIN cake!  Megan always outdoes herself on décor!  Hayden’s party was adorable!  That cake was YUMMYLICIOUS!  I had a piece for myself and ice cream as well as a piece for baby girl and some more ice cream!  Ha!

Kaden trying really hard to get into Hayden’s cake before it’s time for cake.  You gotta watch that boy!

Love this picture of Hayden, he looks so overwhelmed by all the gifts, people, and ‘HELP’ he received opening gifts!

Kaden L.O.V.E.S to play at Hayden’s house.  He especially loves Hayden’s tractor equipment, train set, and hot wheels tower! 
Outside playtime is always the best though for a bunch of BOYS!

These three boys had fun chasing bubbles for a few minutes…April 2012 056April 2012 059April 2012 060

Then, it was time to move the party to the sand box!  April 2012 061
The sand box wasn’t quite big enough for Kaden, he had to go to the big sand pile and DIG!  Told ya’ll this boy is my DIGGER!

On Sunday night we had a SHOOT OUT at home!  This is one of Kaden’s favorite things to change into.

Now, if that’s not cute to you, I don’t know what would be! 
On Monday morning my sister Tonya, and nephew Lewis surprised me and Kaden with a visit!  They spent the day with us, stayed the night and left Tuesday morning.  It was such a fun treat!
April 2012 070
My Mom and Granny came over and spent the day with us too!  We had Tonya a little baby shower of our own to give her all the gifts the three of us had gotten her.  It was fun to look at all the little clothes!
April 2012 071
Lewis had surgery a few days ago to have his tonsils and adnoids removed and tubes in his ears.  Bless his heart, he can’t eat much and feels pretty rotten every few hours or so when the meds wear off.  April 2012 072April 2012 073
So, Nana and Granny are helping the boys color and work in activity books here.  Nana brought Lewis some Nana Magic Soup to make him feel better!

Tonya brought the boys colored bubbles and sidewalk chalk.  They had lots of fun, and made a big mess!  Thanks for the fun toys Aunt Tonya and the tent!April 2012 089
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.  For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.  But woe to him who walks alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up.  Again, if two lie down together they will keep warm; but how can one be warm alone?  Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.  -Ecclesiastes 4 : 9-12
