Pictures from the Hospital...

Baby Caden has arrived!!!!

Last night, May 28th at 8:55, Caden was born. It was crazy!!! Steph had contractionsins since the night before but they did not get serious until a few hours before. Called the doctor and she said take our time to come in. Then Stephs water broke at 7:20!! So we went to the hospital and got checked in and settled at 8. Well Caden was ready to come out so unfortunately Steph was not able to get any drugs!!!! I have never seen her scream like that before. INTENSE!!! The Doctor arrived and he was out in bout 15-20 seconds!!! WOW!!! I will never forget last night and how incredible Steph was. She was what all the nurses were talking about even with 25 other women in labor. I am a proud husband and father. Caden weighs in at 8lbs 15oz, 21", dark blonde hair, blue eyes, and super cute. Pics coming soon, we are hoping to leave tomorrow.

Just Because He's Cute...

This is the face Evan makes when we tell him to smile for the camera. It's a little forced..but I still think he's pretty cute!

40 weeks...and counting

So I will officially be 40 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I know, I'm HUGE. For some reason my boys like to stay in there as long as possible. (Evan was almost a week late) Anyway, I go to the doctor tomorrow...we'll see what she says. Hopefully soon!!!

Evan's Little Corner

We have this little "cove" under the stairs that I've been wanting to make Evan's space since we moved in. Well, I finally did it! He loves animals and these characters are from the Sandra Boynton books. She is a great kids author and we have tons of her books. So, I drew these little friends and painted them on the wall for Evan. He now loves hanging out in there and going to see his friends! :)

My new nephew!!

Mandy and Brandon had their baby this past Thursday (May 15th). This is my new nephew James. He is a cutie!! They are all doing well, and should be able to go home tomorrow!

Mother's Day

I know that Mother's Day is over, but these are a few pics from our day. We went to a nearby reservoir for a picnic and sat by the water. Then we dipped our feet in. It was really cold water, but a lot of fun! Evan enjoyed walking long the shore!

Sorry, I just had to man the page up a bit....Casey

This is what daddy does at work..... make normal cars look sweet.

Evan's half birthday...and getting kissed by Daisy

We decided to do a little celebration for Evan's half birthday last month. Basically Casey and I just had dinner and a half-cake with him..but it was fun! He's growing up so fast!!

After dinner, Daisy was giving out kisses left and right. And Evan was LOVING it. It was kinda gross though. In this picture you can actually see her tongue covering his mouth.

The Circus!

A few weeks ago, my mom's preschool class went to the circus! They had some extra tickets, so Evan and I tagged along! It was really fun. He was very entertained and watched intently for two hours!

I had to get him a pony ride...it was very quick, but I think he enjoyed it. And no, that's not a trained elephant holding him up...that's me. :)
These are the trained elephants. We do look similar...I just need the cool red hat!
