Blankie

Cason is becoming increasingly attached to his blanket or if you talk to Emory her blanket that she is letting him borrow. I am afraid we may have a Linus from Charlie Brown on our hands!

Happy Birthday Mckenzie

Last weekend we headed south to celebrate Mckenzie's 2nd birthday! The kids had a blast swimming, riding the Barbie jeep and tricycle, and playing on Mckenzie's new swing set.

The sweet birthday girl!

Cason liked Mckenzie's rocking horse too!

Emory going super fast!

Mckenzie driving her little cuz around! Cason loved it and had a blast!

The birthday girl opening her presents.

I think this face says it all......she had a great 2nd birthday!!!!

Cason playing us a tune. He loves music and even "sings" along to the radio, which goes something like this, la la la la la la la!

The kids at a blast playing with Mckenzie and celebrating her birthday. Thank you Rachel and Andrew for having us!!!

The Reception

We had a great time at Blake and Cameron's reception. We also learned that our children love to dance.....more on that later.  

The wedding cake was beautiful. I loved the flowers on the cake.  

As soon as the music started Emory and Cason hit the dance floor and danced and danced and danced. It was so funny.

Tatum and Emory had fun playing and dancing together too! Tatum was so cute. She would pick up Cason and carry him around like a little doll. She's a strong little thing because Cason is a big boy!

The first dance as Mr. & Mrs.

This picture makes me laugh because you can see in the background where Cameron ditched her shoes for the dance. I had to drag Emory and Cason off the dance floor so Cameron and Blake could dance.

Emory waiting patiently for their first dance to be over!

Still waiting.

The centerpiece.

 Emory was cracking us up because she would watch herself in the window while she danced. She really got into it and had a blast twirling and twisting!

Cason had a ball dancing and running around the dance floor too. There were several times when he was the only one out there!

We left the reception just after the cake because it was late, nearly 10:00 pm, and the kids (and mommy and daddy) were exhausted. 

Cameron & Blake's Wedding

Friday we headed to Denton for Cameron and Blake's Wedding. The rehearsal dinner was that evening and ran fairly late for us. We ended up having to leave around 9:00 pm because Cason was exhausted and beyond ready for bed. He really was a good little boy considering he had two shots that morning, traveled most of day, and the rehearsal dinner started at his bed time. The dinner was very nice and the food fantastic!!!

Saturday morning we were able to have a little swimming fun.

Emory liked the hot tub and bubbles.

Cason loves swimming.

 He had a great time "jumping" in  the water with Pawpaw!

Noah showing off his cannonball!

Emory built a castle.

Noah practicing his smile....he was preparing for the photo-ops that were to come.

The bride to be!

Noah (9) and Emory (3)

Unfortunately I was not able to get any good pictures of Noah and Emory before the wedding. I guess Emory's nerves kicked in when it was time to line up, because she started crying and saying she was scared. Bradley and I calmed her down and she went down the aisle with Noah tear free. She even threw her petals like she was supposed to. I was very proud of her! I just hope the photographer was able to get a good picture of them.  

Dad and Cameron just before walking down the aisle.

The ceremony was very lovely. Cason behaved for the most part, although it took Bradley holding him in the back for him to be quiet. The wedding did not start until 7:30 pm, so he was tired and I am sure bored

I snapped my camera while the photographer was talking pictures of Blake, Emory, and Cameron. I hope his turned out better then mine. Ha!

Blake, Noah, and Cameron

Noah and Blake

Blake has been a part of our family for the last 7 years, but I guess he is "offically" my brother-in-law now! Congratulations again Blake and Cameron!

15 Month Check Up

Cason had his 15 month check up this morning. He weighed 24.2 lbs (71st percentile) and is 32 inches tall (79th percentile). As suspected he is cutting more teeth. He is working on his i-teeth so his smile should be complete soon!  He had to get two shots today but only let out one little whimper, which I am very thankful for. I am also very thankful that he is a healthy boy.

15 Months Old

Cason Bradley you are 15 months old today!

Your are wearing size 12-18 months clothes, a size 4 shoe, and a size 5 diaper.  You can say mama, dada, bye bye, hi, ball, uh oh, here, baba (cup), mmm, thank you, that, uh uh, and your new favorite mine. I think you said dog the other day, which sounded more like daaag, but that one is still questionable.

You love most foods. Rice is the only thing we have found that you are not completely in love with. I think your uncertainty is more of a texture thing rather than taste so you will likely outgrow it. You are everywhere and into everything. You have started throwing temper tantrums when you do not get your way, which usually involves you throwing yourself on the floor and pitching a good fit.

You love to climb and are very good at it. You have also learned how to get down off the bed and couch which I am very thrilled about! You are a little drool machine again so I feel you are working on tooth number 13. You love to play with your sister but do not always like to share. (That goes for your big sis too). You love to give kisses and hugs, go bye bye, and play outside. You are such a sweet little boy and I am so thankful to have you as my son.

Ice Cream Treat

Last night after dinner Cason enjoyed his first ice cream sandwhich and he loved it! Tonight he had half of another and I snapped a few pictures.  

                                

He has a sweet tooth just like his Daddy.

This is code for "all done!"
