Welcome to the World

Welcome to the world, Cadence and Sienna.  You arrived a bit early at 33.5 weeks on October 15th but we know you are two strong and feisty little girls who will be home with your mommy and daddy very soon.  Congratulations to my brother and sister-in-law on your two beautiful baby girls. 

 Cadence Marie - 3 pounds 5 ounces and full of fight

Sienna Grace- 5 pounds 2 ounces - the younger but larger sister

Nature Center

We had some beautiful weather at the beginning of October.  This wonderful weather demanded a special outing to the Nature Center.   Kyle and Lauren enjoyed climbing, playing, running, and exploring.

Cameron's Friend Party - 8 Years Old

The day after Cameron's birthday he celebrated once again with two of his best buddies.  His choice was to spend the day with them at Chuck E Cheese.  Not sure why there, as we have never been there.  But we had a blast.  The boys ate pizza and played so many games.  We ended the party back at our house for some free play and cake.  He is so blessed to have two wonderful buddies. 

Cameron's 8th Birthday

On Saturday, October 8th Cameron turned 8 years old.  His Golden Birthday!  We celebrated with Grandma Judy, Grandpa Al, Uncle Steve, Uncle Dan and Tina.  We missed Aunt Angela who was at the hospital on bed rest until the twins are born.  We enjoyed a nice meal together, cake, present and playtime.  Cameron and Kyle spent most of their day together playing with all the new toys. 

Cameron you are smart, handsome, kind hearted, sensitive and sweet.  We love you and are proud to be your parents.  Here is to a wonderful year of being 8.

Where has the time gone?  We love you Cameron!  Here's to a great year of being 8!

Pint Sized Gymnast

Lauren is our pint sized gymnast. Seriously, this girl can do things that an average 2 year-old should not be doing.  She is a great climber, can jump on two feet, hang from the monkey bars with her legs or arms, do a push up, stick a landing with arms up, and flip insanely fast.  I see some gymnastic lessons in our future.

Balancing Tricks with Grandma Judy

Fun Fall Day at Como Town and Zoo

At the end of September, we enjoyed a fun fall day at Como Town and Zoo with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Al.  The boys tried the roller coaster and did not want to ever leave it.  They rode it over and over again.  Lauren loved visiting the polar bears and seals.
