About Me

My photo
Goddard, KS, United States
I am one of the fortunate few who married my very bestfriend! Brett and I started dating when I was a sophmore in highschool, and have been together ever since! So I don't know life without Brett in it, and I wouldn't want to. He has given me so many wonderful things over our 14 years together. However the most precious are our children. I am making this blog for them. One day hopefully they will be able to get some of the joy back they have given to me by reading this!

Our *first* Broken Bone

Just before getting home from work today, Cadence climbed into her bed (which she was successful in doing) It was the climbing out that was the problem....
After x-rays it was confirmed that Cadie had broken her arm ;(
It isn't broken all the way through but is more than just fractured. It is down towards her wrist.
Today they put a "soft" cast on to allow for swelling (which she HAS) and then
we will go back on Thursday at 11:15 for them to reset her wrist and put on her
"hard" cast! I wish I could say she was a "good little patient" however after her many many
ear infections and her recent ear tubes she has NO USE FOR THE DOCTORS OFFICE!
After an almost 3 hour *not so peacefully* nap she was in pretty good spirits!
Of Course Chips will make anyone smile!

Cadie is one *very loved* little girl!
Aunt Lanell, Abby and Allyson brought her over this huge balloon with m&m's in the bottom!

She drug in all over the house

A new Baby from Great-Grandma Winsor
(Brett told Cadie next time there are easier ways to get a new baby)

A frog pillow (to elevate her arm) from Aunt Kelly

Cadie showing off her balloon to Aunt Kristin and the boys

Then they used it as a bridge and took turns walking through it!

We then decided to go for a walk. Aunt Kristin, Levi, Cadie and I went for a walk.
(pushing Levi and Cadie in the double stroller, which they love)

Of course after a "wet-wipe" bath it was time to sample some of our candy!
**
Thanks to everyone for your prayers and love! I feel very blessed through all of the text and phone calls we have received! Thanks for loving my Little Cadence Lynn so very much!!










happy Independence day

other than a nasty head-ache and cadie really *disliking* the loud fireworks, we had a nice Independence day! always lots of food, family, frisbee and fun!!

Start of our LONG weekend

I already know that I take A LOT OF PICTURES =)
**
Last night we went to the South Y to watch Joshua, Noah, and Andrew play baseball
Curtis and I watched Joshua play with Pam and Lizzy
** Go Josh**
Crossing Home Plate
Brett and Cadence watched Noah and Andrew on another field
Andrew at catcher
**
Curtis just made himself at home

**Noah Batting**
I had to swipe a picture of Noah from Shelley's blog.. I was looking at pictures last night
and there was a child build just like Noah, but as I zoomed it in WAS NOT NOAH!
I asked Brett to come here, (me) "Brett does that look like Noah?"
Brett, (shaking his head) "No.. No it doesn't but they were all in
blue and looked alike!" ~ That would be my husband for you =)
While over watching Joshua play Curtis thew his black power ranger
up in the tree, and Pam and I couldn't find it..
So we sent in guys to look for it...
*and they found it*

I just thought this picture was cute =)
(minus the porta-potty, we all know how I am about bathrooms)
After the game we enjoyed diner out with the Martins and Bernings
*great start to our 4th weekend*

*more swimming*

What's taking everyone so long?!?!
Miss INDEPENDENT!!
He's such a *cute* kid =)
I am so glad that Kristin paid for Lucas to have swimming lesson so....

He can teach Curtis =)

Of course Curt doesn't quite look like Lucas does!


Swimming for safety!

Lucas has even taught him to swim on his back!


*best buddies*
(most of the time)

Thankfully our children agree!

Fishing!

Saturday evening Kristin and Brett invited us to go fishing with them at Brett's Uncle House.
This was right up Curt's alley, he is such a boy =)
His *favorite* part... picking up the minnows!
Not so much Lucas' favorite!

**
Uncle Brett won the prize for coolest, when he caught the first fish!!

Waiting on another fish....

This is Curt's 3rd time to go fishing and he has *never* caught a fish....

Until NOW! He was SO EXCITED!!

He helped Uncle Brett pull it off and then he threw it back!

Then Brett's Uncle Vern took them for a ride on the golf cart.. Very Cool when you're three!
**
Cadence acted slightly confused when it came to Brett's Uncle, because there is a STRONG
resemblance between Brett's uncle and his Dad.. it was cute!
**
We had a very nice evening, and are excited for more fishing in the future.. Well Curtis is ;)

Thought I had a Few Years.....

...Before the Make-Up Started!

Upon the many lessons I have learned from Mommy 101: when they are quiet GO find them =)
She then moved onto her Baby...

Not sure who turned out *prettier*

I Vote Cadence!!
