Can't go without....

a post of our season's first boating! Of course this post is probably just like the past several years post, but its part of our life and I know I'll enjoy looking back at the different years we had on our boat.
The typical place Elijah and Caden sit for lunch. Oh how they love "boat lunches".

Liam's very first time tubing. I was glad to go with him as I am not terribly fond of tubing so it was a nice lazy ride which I enjoyed.



Elijah enjoys himself some wakeboarding, however not so much this day. He took a spill and the wakeboard came up behind him and smacked him in his head. He did a little damage by splitting open his head a bit. Not to big though, cause after awhile he got up and was back out on the water.(once the blood clotted of course).


Now that liam is older he is way more fun to take on the boat. Last year when the boat stopped he would cry so it was kind of annoying when changing out skiers. This year, he has enjoyed it and has usually been a happy boy. AND he loves it when the boat stops cause he thinks he can SWIM!


The water was pretty cold so he didn't want to ski this day, but he was glad to kneeboard.(although he doesn't look like he enjoyed it here)

Caden turns SIX!

Totally out of order!!
So our sweet Caden turned six on June 9th (and yes I am just now posting about it). Caden oh how we love you. You are a very tender hearted little guy and it doesn't take much to make you cry at times. You are so sweet. You are such a good big brother to Liam and he watches and does everything you do. Caden we are so blessed to have you as part of our family and nick and I can't wait to see what God has in store for your life. We love you so much buddy!! HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY!!
You requested a construction party so mommy was put to the test and got to make a dump truck. I could NOT find any pans that were specifically for a dump truck(that was big enough to feed 30 people) so I used a fire truck pan and it gave some details on how to turn it into a dump truck. So needless to say I wasn't to happy with the way it turned out, but you LOVED IT so thats really ALL that matters!!





We were especially happy that Dan and Tess and Alisha were around and could help celebrate your birthday. What fun to have them at our party. Probably won't happen again since they all live so far away.




Caden got several amazing gifts. These chalks were from the Pritt's family and he has definitely used them up. I think he has a few small pieces left:). He got some clothes, some pool toys, dsi games, flip flops and several other things.
