3rd Birthday - Party #2

Kade's second party took place at the city pool. Thanks to our inside connection (Gigi), we were able to have a private party on Sunday. ALL of Kade's family was there and he had a blast. He was the first in the pool and the last out. I think his favorite part was the "jumping board". It was obviously not the presents because he wouldn't even finish opening them because he wanted back in the pool.

3rd Birthday - Party #1

We took Kade to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday. It was a rainy Saturday so I think everyone in Wichita Falls thought it would be a good idea to take their kids! Needless to say, he had fun and so did we. Nana, Grandpa, Gigi, Aunt Shasta, Uncle Keith and Cousin Lindi all participated in the fun.

More Baby Goats

Thanks to Grandpa, Kade has a wide variety of animals within walking distance. About a month ago, "Blackie" had babies. She actually had 5 which is almost unheard of. Two of them didn't make it and one was in pretty bad shape. We nursed it back to health but the mother refused to take it so Gigi and Grandpa have been bottle feeding it ever since.

Easter 2010

Kade enjoyed Easter for the first time. He was fairly entertained with coloring the eggs (with cousins Byke and Racer) but really enjoyed hunting eggs and eating the candy. If you couldn't tell, he is a huge fan of his cousin Emma. She is older than Kade by about 2 months and he is at least two heads taller but she still calls him "Baby Kade."

Baby bunnies!

Last Easter Grandpa got Kade three rabbits. Well, this Christmas one of them had babies (during the blizzard). Grandpa couldn't stand for them to be outside so he took them in the house to make sure they were warm. Kade loved it!

Christmas 2009.....A mixture of emotions!

Well, Christmas 2009 was quite interesting. It started off when we lost power on Christmas Eve thanks to a blizzard (or at least the closest thing to a blizzard we had ever seen). So, we went to bed beside the fireplace and ended up putting Santa toys together by flashlight in a freezing cold bedroom. Kade woke up the next morning and opened his gifts with little light! Then, my grandmother fell that morning and we spent most of Christmas in the hospital. We lost her about two weeks later. Quite a Christmas break!

Some of Kade's favorite presents were his train table and starter train set, hunting outfit and rifle (he calls it his shooter) and truck and trailer. I don't know where the hunting infatuation comes from but it is definitely there!!!

1st Trip to the Zoo

Late fall of 2009 we took Kade to the OKC Zoo for the first time. It was a perfect day and we all had a great time.
