Caden's 1st Birthday!

Well, my sweet Caden turned ONE on May 28th! I can't believe how big he is getting! We did quite a few fun things for his birthday! That morning for breakfast, Casey made "pig-cakes" for the boys! :)

Then we all went to the zoo....

The guys decided to ride the train at the zoo

We went to a local restaurant called Amazing Jake's for dinner. It is a HUGE place with rides, games, etc...oh yeah and food. It was fun!

The weekend after Caden's birthday we had a small party at home with our families. This is Caden waiting for his guests to arrive :)

James was a pro at cake-eating!

...and then Caden decided that he would rather color then open his presents. So I opened them with assistance from Evan and James :)

Another Evan-ism

So the other day, I asked Evan,
"What do you want for a snack?"
To which he replied,
"Cake with candy on it!"

What?! I thought this was hilarious because he really never gets candy, and very rarely gets cake. It must be all the birthday's we've been celebrating....

James Turns 1!!

My nephew, James turned 1 a couple weeks ago. His party was a "bandit" theme because he always seems to "steal" the toy he wants from whoever is playing with it. It was a fun party, and as you can see, he REALLY enjoyed his cake!!

(....since James didn't know how, Evan and Grandma helped blow out his candle)

Some cute boys

This was the only picture we got from Mothers Day...

Evan's half-birthday

The 23rd of April was Evan's half-birthday. We like to celebrate a little, and I made a "half" cake. Well, the cake looked HORRIBLE. I just ran out of time. We got home from the grocery store, and I put it in the oven. It was done right before dinner, so it didn't really have time to cool. So, I stuck it in the freezer to accelerate the process, and then frosted it as quickly as I could. It looked bad....but Evan was celebrated and that's all that really mattered. :)

Our Vacation Photos...

Here are the few pictures we got before the camera was broken. I did get more on the disposable camera, but since I don't have a scanner...this is all you get! :)

On the airplane...

Our huge amount of stuff

The boys relaxing at the hotel, watching a movie...
