Caden playing outside

Caden loves playing outside...first thing in the morning he goes downstairs and stands at the sliding door until we let him out. I have taught him to shake and shiver when I tell him it's to cold to go outside, it's pretty cute. Rod and I took him to Ann Morrison park today (Sunday) to go for a walk and then play at the park. I snapped a few pics of his playing...he cried when it was time to leave. He is currently naping, he was tired after a hard morning of playing. Hope that everyone had as great of a weekend as we did.

New Garden

Rod and I have been talking for a while about putting a garden in our backyard and we finally accomplished to get the task done this weekend. Rod started building the boxes on Wednesday and by Friday he had the ground tilled up and the boxes put into the ground. On Saturday Rod and I got our compost and dirt and filled up the boxes. We still need to get a little more dirt to add to them but for the most part it is finished. In a couple weeks I will start planting my vegetables. We are going to plant zuccini, squash, tomatoes, pepper, carrots and many other yummy veggies. Hopefully I can get everything to grow. Rod will be installing a drip line for me so in case we aren't home or I forget to water them they will still get taken care of.

Busy Weekend

So our weekend started off with Maria playing volleyball on Friday night (we lost)...
On Saturday Caden and I went to Walmart to finish our Easter dinner shopping - big mistake - everyone was there! But Caden did get lots of attention as always. Everyone kept coming up and telling him how cute he was and of coarse he gave them attention back. When Rod got off work on we went out to Parma and visited with Grandma and Grandpa Looney for about an hour or so! Caden got M&M's, corn dogs, chips - he had a good dinner! We left Pat and Steve's and went over to our friends Ben and Melissa's house where we had dinner and set Melissa up with her own retail business site. We are so excited to have her on board with us and know that she is going to kick butt!!!
On Sunday Caden and I had a busy day getting ready for the Easter party while daddy was at work. Everyone came over around 2:00 and we had a great time with the kids. I have attached a picture of Caden Sunday afternoon taking a nap. I put him down with his milk and some books and he fell asleep reading his book - it's so cute!

For Easter Caden got a car swing for his swing set from Grandma and Grandpa Looney - he loves it.


Aunt Amy game Caden some Easter Eggs with jelly beans a color pad with crayons. Caden and I colored a picture this morning - he was having lots of fun - I had to take them away when he decided to start coloring his highchair!

All in all we had a great Easter weekend and we hope that yours was just as pleasant.

Easter Egg Hunt

Today Rod and I took Caden to the Easter Egg Hunt in our Subdivision. Caden didn't quite get the hang of it until near the end. He kept picking up the eggs and shaking them trying to see what he could get. He ended up making out with a lot of eggs - at least 15 of them.


At 2:00 Pam and I had a Beauty Break party for our Artistry skin care line and it was lots of fun. We had 5 ladies at our party and we had a really good time.

Happy Birthday Stephanie

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to my friend Stephanie who turns 28 today!!!

Caden's new swing set

We had a very busy weekend filled with lots of fun! On Friday night we went to our friends Todd and Laurie's house for dinner - we had the best shrimp ever. Caden ran around exploring their house up and down. On Saturday we went over to Eagle to watch my cousin Jamie in a cheerleading competition, it was really fun to see her perform. On Sunday we went over to my friend Keri's house where she game me Kayla and Landon's swing set that they don't use anymore. Rod set it up for Caden yesterday and so our neighbors Jen and Claudia came over to play, it will be great fun for Claudia and Caden to play together this summer. Thanks Keri!!!
