Jess's Baby Shower

Jess had her baby shower in Borger on June 23rd. Kade and I drove up there for the weekend and had a great time visiting with family and friends. Here are just a couple pictures from her shower.

Jess opening some of her gifts - she got so many cute clothes for Aniston.


Jess's friend Cassie refinished this dresser and painted it. They displayed all of the stuff they bought for her in it - it was SUCH a cute idea. I wish I were that creative.

Kade eating one of the baby bottle cookies! :) Little cutie.

The 'Favor Cake' and baby blocks I made for Jess & Aniston.

Kade Deer

Kade and I went on a trip up to Kansas in June - during Harvest. I wanted to get a picture of him in one of my Grandpa's combine tires in his overalls and cowboy boots, but time flew by so fast and I did not get the chance to go out to the farm. LUCKILY!!! On our way home, Lance pulled over at a gas station where there just happened to be a John Deer combine up on a trailer! I mosied over and got his picture in the wheel! We went to leave, and Dierk had decided to lock us out of our running truck! HA!! Long story short - we were rescued by the local Sherrif. Moral of the story - take your keys out of the truck if you are going to leave a dog in there!

Fallen Behind

I have not had my camera charger until yesterday, so I have fallen behind on posting pictures for everyone...I promise though - I am going to be posting a lot this week to catch up!!!

Lots of Happenings

Well, I haven't posted any new pictures in a week now, and I know some people are getting anxious for more pictures, so this is a blog full of pictures and videos for everyone to enjoy...After Kade's bath the other night, we spiked his hair up into a mohawk - it would have been much cuter if he had some longer hair in the front!

Dad brought Kenna up last weekend and Kade fell asleep on his chest.

Sleeping on Daddy's chest later that same day!

Trying to wake up to see Aunt Kenna the Great.

Checking out Cousin Sarah - even though she is wearing an OU shirt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking at Cousin Zach - they really liked each other!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Kade has started looking at, smiling at and talking to his toys on his bouncy chair. He is so active and alert.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dierk likes to be right with Kade - other wise he thinks we are going to forget about him!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I made these little leg warmers tonight just to see if I could make them. I need to buy some better socks to make some for real, but they are so cute.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't let the face fool you, he likes them...he was just hungry and momma was taking pictures. :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AND NOW FOR THE VIDEOS:

He is always so happy in the mornings. He just smiles and moves around and talks. It is so sweet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kade and his toys. He gets to moving so much that his chair bounces all over the place!

Kade LOVES his baths!

Lance and I were watching a movie tonight (Bride Wars - if you haven't seen it, it was pretty good...laugh/cry kind of movie...) and when it was over, Lance went to bed. Immediately he noticed the shredded cotton particles on the floor next to our bed and shouted 'CRAP - HE CHEWED UP A DIAPER!!' No big surprise to me, I had come across the remains of a poopy diaper that Dierk had snatched myself just a couple weeks ago. I went in the room to see what the big deal was - it was SHREDDED...the one I had found was just little pieces, like he had EATEN the diaper. I was in an emotional state due to the movie that we had just finished watching, and burst out laughing...Kade was asleep and the door was open, so I was TRYING to keep quiet, but no luck. I was laughing so hard tears were rolling down my face. I couldn't quit laughing/crying, and fell to the floor. It got worse...You couldn't wee under our bed due to all of the diapers/debris. Lance didn't believe me, and as I ran to the other room to grab my camera, he hit the floor to look for himself! It was horrible and discusting...yet I continued to laugh histerically. I couldn't help myself. By this time Lance had scoulded the dog and thrown him outside...I had documented all I cared to...and we were preparing to clean it up. I should have taken a picture of the underneath of the bed after I raised the mattresses. It was unbelievable...I wish I could have seen Dierk sneaking ever so quietly from the nursery to the bedroom with a diaper in his mouth...Oh man, what would he have done if we would have cought him in the act?!?! So now I am sharing this moment with everyone, hoping that somehow my sick sense of humor will make someone laugh, smile, or gag...ENJOY!!!

Lance had just looked under the bed.
(Anything white, except the one sock by the dresser, is diaper debris.)

Under the bed...

I had just taken my shoes off so I didn't track anything...

The Debris...and Kade's shirt (Dierk likes them too for some reason?)

Bottoms Up!

I started letting Kade nap on his belly this week. I have been nervous, because the doctors warn you about SIDS. But I decided that I slept on my tummy when I was a baby, in fact...that was how the doctors WANTED babies to sleep back then because of SIDS, and I survived! I am nervous still though, so it is just during naps so that I can constantly run over and make sure his head is turned to the side and his back is going up and down. Paranoia?? Once he is strong enough to turn his head or roll over, I will be okay with it, but for now, just naps. I love the bum in the air when babies sleep on their tummies, so enjoy this picture.

It makes him look so tiny:(

Memorial Day Weekend

Mom (GiGi), Kaatje (Aunt Kaatje), Jess (Aunt CaCa), and Cami (Cousin Cami) came down for Memorial Day weekend to visit the babe. It was Aunt CaCa's first time to get to seek Kade, so she was so excited. Somehow I managed to let them all leave without getting Jess's picture with Kade, but we did get some fun pictures:

The water was fresh...and COLD...feet were all he got to get wet, and I think that was enough for him. Dierk wanted in though!

Another shot of Kade in the pool.

Kaatje liked Kade's bath tub.

Check out my cool shoes!!
