Here is a update of what has been going on the last little bit! (get ready-it is kind of long!)

Birthdays and Half Birthdays
Yesterday was my 23rd birthday and Cade's first half birthday! For my birthday Cole made me breakfast in bed (french toast-my favorite), I went shopping, we went to dinner and then to a movie. Thanks Cole for a great birthday! Thanks to all my family for the gifts and visits-it was a great day!

Cade had his 6 month appointment yesterday. He is 16 lbs 10oz and is 26 inches long. Last week he got some type of viral infection and was really congested and coughing. We took him in and when the doctor checked his breathing he said he was wheezing a lot. He said if that continued to be a pattern then he could be diagnosed with asthma. But at this point it is to soon to tell. He was prescribed some asthma medicine. We had to put this mask on him and let him breath in the medicine to open up his airways. It was really sad but Cade was a champ! So anyway at the appointment the doctor said his breathing was perfectly clear! He got his shots and only cried for a minute after they were done. It was so hard to watch but what a trooper! Here he is waiting for the doctor.Cade has recently learned to make spit bubbles. It think it is the cutest thing when he just sits there making spit bubbles and babbling to himself!

Texas Trip
A couple of weeks ago we went back to my home for Ciera's graduation. There were 1300 graduates!! She will be here going to BYU in the fall. I am so sad that we won't be living here anymore and will just miss her. That would have been fun to have her living so close. I guess Shan and Matthew will have to watch after her. This is a bad picture but she is in the lower middle waiting in line to walk across the stage. Congrats birdie!! Also while we were there my cousin got married. I was so excited to go to her sealing since the only other one I have been to was my own. They look so happy to be together-Congrats Katie and Jason! We got to spend a lot of time with her family which was so much fun!The night before the wedding we went over to my Aunt and Uncle's house to eat, mingle, and swim. This was Cade's first experience swimming. At first he didn't like it but then he got in later and was ok.

This is a picture my cousin took of Cade and the other is her little boy, Ethan. They look so similar! (and Andrea is great at photography!)














Cole had fun playing with Andrea's kids in the pool and I definitely got thrown in! Thanks Cole! (but it was fun!)


Here are some family pictures we took.I wish I had more pictures of the family doing stuff but I don't. It was really good to see my family and spend time with them. It was fun to see them play with Cade and all the sisters were really good with him. (although they do need practice changing a baby BOY's diaper-that was new for them!)

Summer Fun
A few other fun things we have done:

We have done some fun hangin out with Shan and Matthew. We will be gone soon so we are tyring to get it all in now! Here we are playing rock band and my house and then we are playing games at Shan's house.
Cole's family just got a cabin up in Scofeild. We met his family up there and had a lot of fun. Here are some pictures of us riding the 4-wheelers. Needless to say-we got filthy!
