Fiesta!

Last week it was "Fiesta," which is a really big deal in San Antonio. We've never taken part in the festivities, but we did go to the Fort Sam Houston Army Post on Sunday. They were having their own Fiesta. We took Cadynce in her wagon and walked around for an hour listening to live music and letting Cadynce practice walking in her first pair of StrideRite shoes. I'm amazed at how well she walks already; she doesn't fall much for a kid who just learned to walk. She wants to walk everywhere, and she did great walking in the grass. As we were leaving, we passed a park that had a baby swing, so we stopped for a family swing! Cadynce loved it. View Album for more pictures.

Cadynce is walking!

Well, it's official. Cadynce is walking. She is walking all over the house now with her arms up in the air and a big smile on her face. View Album for videos.

Grandpa & Mimi Visit

Grandpa Don and Mimi flew in for the weekend to visit their grand-daughter who just turned one. We went to dinner, did some shopping, and just enjoyed hanging out at home watching Cadyne play. She made some big strides in her walking this weekend, and she also learned to steer her stroller all by herself. That means less work for me and less whining for Cadynce. Cadynce had a great time hanging out with her Grandpa Don and Mimi. View Album for more pictures.

She's the Big One Today!!

We got Cadynce a red wagon for her first birthday and she loves riding around in it. We took a trip to the zoo and looked at all the animals then had a picnic dinner. We were the only people at the zoo which was wonderful. We got to hear the lions roar and see the monkey's eat. View Album for more pictures.

Cadynce's 1st Birthday Party!!

We had a birthday party for Cadynce this afternoon with all her friends. She didn't enjoy her cake like I thought she would, but she really loved putting the icing in her hair. Cadynce has also started walking a little bit. She's taking about 5 or 6 steps and learning how to balance at the same time. View Album for more pictures.

Spring Break: Day 4

We went to the San Antonio zoo for the day, and we got to see so many different animals. We even got to see two giant turtles mating; Alissa wanted to leave and Robbie and Aubrey couldn't stop giggling. Carrie thought it was the nicest zoo she'd ever been to and they are continuing to make it better. They have a new exibit called Africa Live where you can see a hippo up close if you're lucky, and we got lucky because the hippos were at the glass when we got there. The kids had a great time and Cadynce loved watching the big fish. View Album for more pictures.

Spring Break: Day 3

Happy Easter!!! The Easter bunny came to our house to hide the eggs for all the kids. Everyone was up early hunting for their eggs before going to church. After church the kids went upstairs while I hid their Easter eggs from me and set out their baskets full of goodies. After lunch we went bowling then had an Easter dinner at home.

Spring Break: Day 2

Saturday was another beautiful day to be outside so we decided to head to our neighborhood pool. The water was really, really cold, but everyone got in and had a great time. The water was warmer than the weather in Indiana so the Capeharts loved it. When the kids were done swimming they played on the playground and shot baskets. We ended the evening cooking out on the grill and making brownies. View Album for more pictures.

Spring Break: Day 1

The Capeharts arrived late Thursday night and were all pretty excited about going to Sea World. We slept in Friday morning and left for Sea World at 11 in our 15 passenger van we rented. We saw three shows, but the most memorable show was definitely Believe. We got there 45 minutes early so we could pick our seats, and we thought we were sitting in the "no splash" section but we were so wrong. We got completely soaked. After the splashing stopped I looked at Cadynce and she was screaming, I looked at Alissa and Aubrey and they were both crying too so we got up and left. We headed to the gift shop so the kids could get new shirts to put on, then we headed to the van for snacks. After our break Alissa went on a roller coaster, Robbie won two stuffed animals, and Cadynce got to crawl around a play area for little ones. We left the park at 8pm. We had a great day at Sea World and all the kids had a blast. View Album for more pictures.

A Day at the Zoo

My friend Nicole and I took Blake and Cadynce to the zoo yesterday, and they were both leaning forward in their strollers pointing at all the animals the whole time we were there. I think they both loved it, and we got a season pass so we plan on taking many trips to the zoo this year. View Album for more pictures.
