A fun family day!!

Once a month Cassidy and I are going to try to spend one Saturday doing activities that the boys will enjoy (other wise we are working on our house, which is no fun for the boys). So this last Saturday we went out to chandler and went to a bubbles party. There were all kinds of wands and buckets full of soapy water. Brody and his cousin Hardy loved it, Cade wasn't to sure.
Brody got pretty good being a able to blow bubbles.
Then we went to the park and played, Cade loves going down slides.
Then we had lunch at the chandler airport, the restaurant is right on the runway so can see the planes come and go. Brody was always concentrating on the planes and making sure he wasn't missing any action, he loved it.
As we were leaving we let all three boys seat in an airplane, it was the highlight of there day. Leaving was not fun, 3 boys throwing fits because they wanted to stay and hang out in the plane!!

The way to a man's heart!!

To surprise Cassidy for Valentines day i cooked a gourmet lunch. We had steak, twice baked potato, garlic cheese biscuits and strawberry spinach salad, yum, yum!! Then for desert i dipped strawberries in chocolate and order a piece of cheesecake from the cheesecake factory. And of course to top it off IBC root beer. It was a hit, after almost every bite Cassidy would say "This is so good!" It was a success, so now you ladies know that the real way to a mans heart is a good home cooked meal!!

Cade's 1st Birthday

Cade turned one early this month, and as you can tell he had a "bug" themed birthday party. Ok if you can't tell his cake is a caterpillar, his present is a lady bug, and then the balloons are lady bugs and bee's, and then his high chair is suppose to be a bee. I know cheesy!!

Cade wasn't sure about all the presents or why everyone was staring at him but he had his big brother to help him!
Finally after all the presents were opened he started to act like he was having a good time.
Singing happy birthday, i know, i know such a cute cake!!
And boy did he enjoy it!! He didn't beat around the bush when it came to eating his cake he picked up the whole piece and went to town. Happy Birthday Cade!!

Yes we are alive

Yes we are alive and well. We are moved into our house, not all the projects are done but it is at least livable (the list is never ending and i'm afraid it never will be). We had a wonderful Christmas, we were able to spend that morning in payson with Cassidy's mom and then that afternoon with my family. Here are a few pictures!!Its a tradition are a becoming tradition on Christmas day in our matching PJ's to set the camera on a timer that goes off every 3 seconds multiple times and between each one we can't be in the same spot, it is very entertaining, but we actually got a half way good picture.
Cassidy's mom gave the boys matching hats they are so cute and Cade loves his.
Brody got a tricycle for Christmas, still not that great at riding it but we are practicing. When Brody was asked what he wanted for Christmas he would always say he wanted a bike and if you asked him what color it was always a pink one. Where he got pink from I have now idea but it was funny to watch Cassidy's face every time he said pink!!
My sister in law found the cutest Pj's ever for the boys. They are the old fashioned ones that have buttons on the butt and we were able to get their names on them, so cute!!

Moving (for the last month going on two)

Ok I am sorry I have not updated my blog in months. In September we bought a house, we had been looking for months and we finally found one that we love and we got a good deal on because it is a foreclosure. But because it is a foreclosure it has required a lot of work. Our main goals before we moved in was to get new flooring, but our are carpet has been on back order for the last few weeks. Every week they call and push it back another week, it is getting very frustrating. And or course our lease ended Oct 30th, so we are staying in my parents basement. Which i am very grateful that they are willing to put up with us. Of course when we asked if you could stay with them it was only suppose to be for a week or 2 and it will soon be a month. SORRY MOM AND DAD. I honestly think the only reason they are putting up with us is becuse they get to see the grandchildren every day (J/k) So we are hoping that we get the carpet installed the week after Thanksgiving. But with our luck you never know what will happen, i am just crossing my fingers that we can get moved into the house before Christmas. So that is it for my boring post sorry no pictures but hopefully soon i can post some pictrures, well hopefully before Chirstmas!!!

Caldwell Reunion

This summer has been full of reunions!! A couple of weeks ago we went up to Colorado, just outside of Durango for the Caldwell Reunion. It was a blast and great to see Aunts, Uncles and Cousins I only see once in a while. On our way there we spent the night in Snowflake at my Grandparents, who own this fabulous tricycle, and of course Brody had to have a ride, courtesy of Stephanie!!
Cade was once again such a good baby the whole trip (how did i get so lucky??)
OK story time. We camped right next to a lake and you could rent paddle boats, which we did, and as you can see my husband and Uncle Nate are so nice to let the little kids paddle them around. Well me and my Aunt Holly decided we wanted to go for a paddle on a 2nd boat. So we are paddling and we notice that Cass and Nate have traded the kids positions and were headed full speed towards us. We were able to dodge them for 10 min or so but then Cass Jumps off his paddle boats swims to mine. Being the proud person i am i told him i would get in myself (didn't want to get thrown in) , which i do gracefully as to not get my hair wet, but of course Cass wouldn't let me get back in the boat till I went all the way under the water, IT WAS FREEZING!!!
Cade looks so cute in his sunglasses and hat!! (that's my Aunt Jen holding him)
Cass and Brody floated down the river.
The last day we were there we went into Durango to the alpine slide, and they had this cool trampoline, jumping thing. This is a video of Cass, i had to delete my video because due to my horror, my shirt was exposing my postpartum gut!! Luckily i don't live there and never have to see them again. But it was still fun and i even did a flip!!


I had never been down an alpine slide before they are way fun if you ever get to go!! this is a picture of mom just getting done, i love that she is so adventures!!

4th of July Weekend

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. We went up to Eager for a Hunt family reunion. It was very relaxing and fun.

This is us with some of my cousins at the 4th of July parade.
Brody loved this car and any chance he had he was in it pretending to drive. That's my cousins little girl Cynthia, isn't she cute!!
Brody went on his first 4-wheeler and dirt bike ride, Cassidy's dirt bike broke before i could get a picture of them riding.
Brody also went on his first horse ride. Cass said he liked it until the horse started shaking its whole body trying to get flies off.
And you guessed it, while my husband and s0n where having all the fun on adventures i had Cade strapped to me trying to get him to fall asleep which he finally did, but i just had to stand on the side lines and watch them have all the fun, i guess that is what being a mother of two boys is all about.The last night at the reunion we had to were matching shirts as a family and as you can see Brody's was more like a dress!!Here is a picture of all my aunts and uncles let see if i can name them all. Starting top row left to right : Jennifer, Lizzy, Barbara, Blanche, Janeanne, Bottom row: Charlie, Ray, Roy (my dad). Granny Hunt, John, and Rex (my dads twin- in case you were wondering) I am sure i spelt all there names wrong but at least i tried.
And last here is a picture of some but not all of my cousins that went. My siblings and me are all in the bright bright yellow shirts!!
