New Swing Set

A couple weeks ago Don built Cadynce her very own swing set.  I am so excited to use our swing every day, and all her friends can't wait to come over and use it too.  We just got the swings and once I put Cadynce in, she did not want to get out.  View Album for more pictures.

First Oreo Cookie!

Cadynce had her first Oreo cookie yesterday, and she loved it. She went totally nuts running around the house with chocolate all over her face and a huge smile. This was the first time I had ever seen her show off for the camera the way she did.

Indiana Trip

We flew back to Indiana for 10 days. It was so fun to see Cadynce with her family and calling everyone by name. It took Cadynce a couple days to adjust to the new surroundings, but we got her back on schedule and she did awesome. Cadynce loved playing with her cousins. Every time we go home she grows up a little more. View Album for more pictures.

The Zoo

We met the Felkers at the zoo on Sunday, and Cadynce and Aiden loved seeing all the animals. I think their favorite animal was the monkey. We spent some time at the Tiny Tots area where the kids can run around and play. After closing down the zoo we walked to the beautiful Japanese Tea Garden to take some pictures.

Cadynce's New Kitchen Set

We got Cadynce a kitchen set the other day, and she loves it. She loves opening and closing the stove door and putting her play food inside. We turned our loft area into her playroom so this is where we spend all of our time now. View Album for more pictures.

Cookout

Monday we had a cookout with Jason, Nicole, and Cadynce's best friend Blake. The kids had a great time in the backyard playing in the sprinkler and the pool. View Album for more pictures.

Memorial Day Weekend

We took a day trip down to the coast on Friday. It was a 2 1/2 hour drive to Corpus Christi where we made our first stop. We took Cadynce to the Texas State Aquarium, and she loved looking at all the fish. Cadynce napped in the car while we drove to Port Aransas. The beaches were much better in Port Aransas, and Cadynce would have stayed in the water all day. She didn't seem to mind the sand either. We had lunch and dinner at a couple of local places on the water. View Album for more pictures.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! We had so much fun last year we decided to do it all over again this year. We got up at 6am and drove to the Magnolia Pankcake Haus and waited outside until they opened. Cadynce enjoyed walking around outside and waving to all the others who were waiting too. Our breakfast was delicious. In the afternoon Cadynce and I went into Barnes and Noble while Don shopped in the neighboring stores. I tried to read a few books, but all Cadynce wanted to do was walk. Cadynce found all the stuffed animals to her favorite show "The Backyardigans." When Don came in to meet us she had them all out, and she took turns carrying them around the kids section. Daddy's little girl went home with all 5 of them! View Album for more pictures.

Sea World Again

On Friday, Don's work provided lunch at Sea World and a day in the park. We had a blast. After lunch we went to the water park to cool down, and Cadynce loved walking in the water and going through the sprinklers. We visited several of the other animals then headed home for a nap.

Grandma Carol & GG Visit

Grandma Carol and GG flew in to visit this weekend. They had fun watching Cadynce walk all day, every day. Friday, I enjoyed running some errands by myself, and that evening Don and I went to a movie. Saturday and Sunday Grandma Carol and GG stayed home with Cadynce while Don and I went shopping for a few hours. Sunday night we all went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. The weather was beautiful so we sat outside and ate dinner, and the food was great. It was a fun weekend. Don and I enjoyed doing some things we haven't done in the past year.
