Cade's New Friend Bo

Cade got this big ugly thing at a church carnival in Stockdale. He absolutely loves him. Bo lives outside because he sheds and Cade just drags him around so he's very dirty. But every time we go outside, Cade goes and picks up Bo and tries to bring him with us.

patting Bo, he knows to be nice to animals

Rachel's Next Adventure

Rachel is now at MD Anderson in Houston beginning her proton radiation treatments. Please continue to pray for her and her family during this time. The doctors continue to stress what a miracle she is and seem very positive! Your prayers are working! Check my sister's blog regularly as she is planning to update more often (and I will be on her to do so!)

Someone Loves Mom's Cooking

More ravioli bake please! She was signing and yelling "more" like crazy this night, couldn't get enough. She is very into feeding herself so she usually eats naked. She is working hard to keep her pot belly which, believe it or not, is slowly shrinking.
she is picking up her leftovers off her lap

Where's Cade?

Well he put himself to bed in Callie's bed, sitting up no less.

Who Wouldn't Want To Cuddle Up With That???

Bad new habits have been forming around here. The kids like to fall asleep in mommy's bed and then I have to move them. But it's so sweet, I don't really care.

Bryson Lee Is Finally Here!

We are so pleased to announce the birth of our new cousin and nephew Bryson Lee! He weighed 6lbs. 14oz and was born last Tuesday. He is doing very well at home and his parents are happily taking incredibly good care of him! I am so happy for them. This past weekend, Amy and I were planning on heading to Kansas to help Robyn prepare for the baby but he was a little early so it worked out! We took our babies, Callie and Emily, to meet their new cousin. Marissa came too. Cade stayed home cause he had school and Rach couldn't come because she cannot get sick. Travis and Robyn have a very nice house and live in a cute little town, Derby, Kansas. And now they have an adorable little one, all the more reason to visit! Here he is...Isn't he the cutest! And his jaundice adds such good coloring...

Callie loved playing with Harley and the "bebe"
She also got in trouble from Uncle Trav because she thought it was hilarious to feed Harley her food.
watching for Geese
She always said "shhhh" with her finger to her lips and then would yell "bebe!"
We took her baby doll with us in the hopes that she would learn to treat her better. So far she just bangs her around and I am not impressed with her parenting skills. She finds her body parts though. Showing us her nose \/
kissing the baby
Here i think she was burping the baby...


She loves Bryson and loves her role as big cousin to Emily and Bryson
He's so little!
Someone would get a little jealous if mommy held the baby too long...


burping Emily right here, she's so helpful



awww
Giving Bryson a bath because it's what I do!



Getting some love from Bryson, he's so sweet and such a good baby
Callie tested out all his stuff
And baby makes 5! These 3 are so cute! They grow up so fast- Em is only 7 months! Now it's going to be really hard to get a cousin picture with all these squirmy kids!
Callie says he's "mine"

Proud Auntie

We Are In For It

Alright I might be biased but this girl is smart! I heard Amy yelling at Callie in the bathroom and I went to see what she had done now. She climbed up on the sink, got into Amy's mascara, and applied it! I was so proud of her because she knew mascara went somewhere around the eyes and she even made it on some lashes! I told ya'll she watches intently when I put make up onHow can you be mad at that face?

Happy Birthday Rachel!

Birthdays are a big deal, but they are an especially big deal for Rachel. The goal at her cancer diagnosis at 15 months old was to get her to three years of age so she can have radiation therapy. And as you can see from her proudly displaying three fingers, she will be three at the end of next week- Praise God! I not only want to see her make it to 4, I want her to be a 104! Keep praying, something is working!Amy bought this cute little pinata with a new concept. You have to pull the strings at the bottom to get it to open rather than beat it. Mike of course had a fit and said it was for wimpy kids and went on and on as Michael does! But it was cute and the kids had a great time.Cade always tried to pull all the strings and went out of turn... He would have liked the pinata that you beat!


Funny pic of Mike \/ getting all the candy out. Yes he was the tree...
Cade was excited he got this one pack of gummy worms. We encouraged him to get more (and his Grandpa was yelling "go for the chocolate bars Cade!" Of course he will help finish the candy)
he did really well picking it up and putting it in his bag

Callie wanted to open it and eat it


Ready for cake
All eyes on the cake





"What? I like Cake!"
Rach was so cute opening her gifts. She had to show each and every gift around the room but especially to her papa.

Cade helped open the gifts when Rach was tired of it. He even walked away with a few and especially wanted this princess tent.

Rach had so much fun at her party. It was really fun for us to watch!
