Cade's first birthday was a long time ago...
This is how it started with yummy cake
Our sweet, sweet and cutest Bubba. Boy do we love this little guy! He is so smart like his older brother. He is talking quite a bit these days (even if only we can understand him). He LOVES BALLS and BOOKS. He prefers that Dad reads to him (over Mom) because he does all the funny voices and sounds.
Hates the car because there is no freedom, it's like he's strapped down or something... ahhh!! He is a climber. He will climb a ladder, stools, couches, kitchen chairs and tables, anything he possibly can. And when he gets to the top, he stands tall, bounces a bit and laughs triumphantly.
He loves his bro like always, but is more confident in trying to do all Zach does. He follows him around and drives Zach crazy sometimes. It's great. They actually get along wonderfully and play and wrestle a lot.
He always wants to feed himself. Sometimes I forget and can't figure out why he won't eat until I realize that he just wants to do it himself and will starve until I let him. Speaking of food, he loves yogurt and fruit and candy (he IS our son!!) and sometimes that's all he'll eat. Our favorite is when he sees something someone else is eating that he wants, he just keeps his mouth open as wide as he can and follows them around until he gets what he wants. It's a precious sight to see.
He's so curious and, of course, gets into everything. He likes to feed the dogs and dump the dog's water all over the floor everyday. And loves the bath. He likes to be chased around and tickled. And it's the sweetest thing in the world when he spontaneously, out of nowhere, climbs up onto me or Jake just to give us a hug and kiss. He's very loving.
WE LOVE YOU, CADE!!
Temple Square
Cute Zach with cute smile
Always acting silly and crazy, especially when you want to take pictures at the temple.
Quite GQ of our little one, huh? I love this picture. It's just him.
And cute family at the site it all began... (we got engaged at Temple Square and married in the Salt Lake Temple; it's a special place for us)
Fishing at Strawberry Reservoir
Pretty Sunset
The boys played on the shore and dug and collected rocks while the fish were busy staying away from our hooks.
My three boys, whom I love with all my heart. We did actually get a fish on, but he fought pretty well and won. We had him all the way up to the water's edge, when the line caught and broke and set the poor fish free to die on his own (probably).
This night, we fished until dark and went back and tried staying in the Lodge at Strawberry, but Cade got really sick and was throwing up all over our hotel room. Poor kid (and also poor cleaning staff). We decided in the middle of the night to drive home to be near the comforts of home (and hospital if the need arose) and hopefully Zach would get some sleep, because believe me, he was very interested in the puking. He was all riled up but quickly fell asleep (finally) in the car. What a crazy night.
Not to mention that something similar has happened to us at that very Lodge. Last year we were staying there and Zach hit his head and was acting really funny, so we left there late at night, too (not as late) and rushed him to the ER. And the time before that at the Lodge, everything went fine except that Jake broke his fishing rod. And all these times we've never caught a fish. I think we are cursed in connection with that Lodge. It's fun, though to go up there and do that, so Jake thinks we should try again, but why tempt fate?
