Our 3rd Anniversary

Don surprised me and took me to a really cool restaurant called The Grey Moss Inn. Inside it was small and had a rustic feel to it. Cadynce did great even though it was nearing her bed time. She had green beans for dinner, and she LOVES green beans. We had Dairy Queen for dessert! View Album for more pictures.

Christmas tree

We got our tree this weekend, and we got all our Christmas decorating done inside and outside. View Album for more pictures.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent our Thanksgiving with the Amezega Family in Fort Worth and we had a great time hanging out, watching football, and eating lots of good food. View Album for more pictures.

Carrie & Aubrey Visit

Carrie and Aubrey flew out to spend the weekend with me, while Don was in Indiana at the Air Force vs. Notre Dame game. Carrie, Aubrey, Cadynce, and I had a great weekend; we did a little shopping, but mostly hung out at home with the kids. View album for more pictures.

Happy Halloween!

We bought a big pumpkin because we wanted to put Cadynce inside to take a picture, and we wanted our parents to get this picture in the mail before we blogged it. We took Cadynce and our pumpkin over to our neighbors house to take the picture and they loved it. Our neighbors got their camera and they were taking pictures, too. This was all the carving we got to do to our pumpkin because it rotted so we threw it away. Remember, you can click on the picture to enlarge it. View Album for more pictures.

On Halloween night, we had a great time dressing up Cadynce in her pumpkin costume. We sat outside with the dogs while all the neighbor kids came by to get candy. View Album for more pictures.

Six Month Pictures

Here are Cadynce's 6 month pictures. She wasn't in a smiling mood this day, but we think they turned out great. Let us know what you think. View Album for more pictures.

Brotherly Love

Don and Jeff have been training to run the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC, and that's just what they did this weekend. We met Jeff and Julie in DC on Friday afternoon and it was raining. After we walked (in the rain) to our hotel we took the metro to the expo where we walked around for a couple of hours. Saturday we did a little sight seeing, and the weather was beautiful. We went to the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, and the Arlington Cemetery. We were pretty tired from all the walking so we went back to the hotel to relax and watch a few football games.

The big day was finally here; Don and Jeff woke up early to get to the starting line by 7:30 am. It was a little chilly in the morning, but it turned out to be a perfect day for a 26.2 mile run! Julie and I took the metro to see the boys at mile 9, 13, and 22. Congratulations to Don and Jeff finishing in 4 hours 1 minute and 35 seconds!! I am so proud of my husband for his dedication and for accomplishing such a long run! It was so cool watching Don and Jeff run this marathon together, and we all had a great time together. After the race we went back to the hotel and got our luggage then had dinner at the metro station before going to the airport. We flew to Atlanta where we had a layover, but we missed our connection so we stayed the night at a hotel. The earliest flight was at 7:30 this morning, and we got into San Antonio at 9. We could have done without the last part of the trip, but we got home safe and all three of us slept the entire plane ride. View Album for more pictures.

Camera Happy

Sometimes I can't stop taking pictures of Cadynce so this album is full of silly pictures. We also had a play date with her friend Blake, and he is one month older than Cadynce. Cadynce has been spending most of her time on her tummy trying to get things that are out of reach. Right now it's not worth the effort to her to get a toy, but when Roxy is in front of her she tries so hard to touch her. I know the first place she will crawl when the day comes...right to Roxy (hopefully not Hoosier). View Album for more pictures.

The Pumpkin Patch

Last week we took Cadynce to the pumpkin patch to take some pictures and to pick out a huge pumpkin. We had a great time taking pictures, and we got such a big pumpkin for a good reason. We will reveal the secret next week. We put Cadynce in the Johnny Jumper while we carved the pumpkin and she never stops jumping in that thing. View Album for more pictures.

Six Months Old

The past few days have been pretty exciting for us. We started Cadynce on rice cereal on Monday night, and she did very well for the first time. Tuesday we finally bought a high chair for Cadynce, and I'm using it a lot more than I thought I would. I roll her around the kitchen with me while I'm cooking, doing the dishes, or doing laundry, and she loves it.

We had her six month check up today and Cadynce weighs 14 pounds 13 ounces and she is 26 inches long. She got four shots and she only screamed for about 20 seconds until they gave her a sticker!

We celebrated her half birthday today with half of a birthday cake and a learning puppy. The huge stuffed bear was a gift from someone Don works with. It was a very fun evening for us all. View Album for more pictures.
