It's A...


BOY!!! It's a boy! I was completely convinced that it was a girl since this pregnancy has been completely different than my pregnancy with Cade... but I was wrong (not surprising!) I am so happy that Cade will have a little buddy.... and like my mom said.... this baby needed to be a boy to have a better chance of surviving his big brother's wrestling matches. Our house is going to be ROCKING!!!

Happy Birthday Russ

Happy Birthday to my loving, generous, witty, charming, handsome, fun, crazy-LSU-fan of a husband. I love you so much... and hope that you still love me after I post some of these pictures. They say that a picture is worth 1000 words, so I thought I would post a few that remind me of some of the things that I love so much about you.



Me, Cade, and this player-to-be-named later are so lucky to have you. I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

All Boy

Cade is all boy. Every day he's doing something else that convinces me more of this. Here's a few recent examples...

A week or so ago, we had the newspaper laying on the table. He pulled it off of the table and found an ad for a car dealership. He got really excited, carried it around the house for awhile, and then stuck it up on the fridge.
He loves to raid the pantry. Notice the make-shift stool. The boy is resourceful, what can I say?


A few of his favorite things are trains, cars, and throwing things down the stairs...I guess that he mastered building towers out of blocks, so he moved on to the magnets...
Cade, you definitely keep us laughing. We love you little buddy!

Christmas Part 3 (The Murphys)

The Murphys drove out from Atlanta, and got here a couple of days after Christmas. We got to spend the week with them. Cade was spoiled and we all had a ball. It's always fun to get to see Conrad and Ann.... thanks for coming guys!







Christmas Part 2 (The Smiths)

We drove up to Idaho Christmas afternoon to spend the weekend with my family. My dad suprised us with this little rocking chair that he *made* . He gave this same chair to me when I was Cade's age for Christmas. Somewhere down the line of 6 kids, the legs were broken off of the chair. My dad fixed the legs and restained it, and gave it to Cade. It's so cute. My dad is awesome.Cade also went on his first snowmobile ride with my dad, which is basically a defining moment in your life if you're a Smith.
And then there was Dallin.... Cade loves Uncle FD (Firedog Dall as we call him)... Dallin is basically a non-stop circus. He is constantly throwing Cade in the air, holding him up to "walk on the ceiling" and all sorts of craziness, but Cade thinks it's great.

Apparently I was having too much fun to take very many pictures... but we had such a fun visit!! Thanks guys!

Christmas Part 1 (Our House)

On Christmas Eve, Cade got to open his new snowsuit, and got to try out his new sled with dad...





We celebrated Christmas morning at our house, with just the three of us. It was so fun watching Cade get so excited about his presents... but he would get upset with us whenever we would pull him away from one gift to try to show him that there were more to open. Cade got a little basket ball hoop, and I was a little nervous that he might not be ready for it yet, but the first thing he did was walk up and put the ball through the hoop... I don't think that he's ever seen a someone shoot a basket before, so I guess boys must be born with the instinct?? Of course he got some cars and trucks... the boy LOVES anything with wheels...





We had a wonderful Christmas. I love these two guys more than anything, and being with them on Christmas is the best gift I could ever ask for.

Thanksgiving!!

We had a very eventful Thanksgiving this year! I don't quite know what Russ and I were thinking {we were optimistic that our angel child would sit still, look at books, and play quietly and happily for all 48 hours of travel time}, but we decided to fly to Atlanta, meet up with Ann and Conrad, and then drive to Louisiana to spend Thanksgiving with Russell's extended family. It was so much fun to see everyone... but no so much fun to have to travel to do it. Cade hated us by about hour 2 on the plane, but no one killed each other, and we made lots of good memories, so I'll call that a successful trip!

Cade lying on the disgusting airport carpet... poor guy had to wake up at 4:00 am to make the flight. He was sooo tired, he just wanted to lay down and roll his truck back and forth.
Thanksgiving day was spent with the Murphy clan, in a community center filled with lots of good food... most of it fried :)
After dinner, Cade walked up to Uncle Frank, and started building block towers in his hands. He sat still for a good 20 minutes totally entertained... that's got to be a record for him. I was stunned.

During the road trip, we took occasional breaks to let Cade let it all out... he LOVES to run... so we found a few good empty parking lots, and Cade just ran in circles while Conrad chased after him. This was definitely a favorite part of the trip for him.


Shannon and Michael were so sweet to let us stay in their pool house. Cade loves him some Abbey and Peyton!!! They wore each other out playing chase, and Cade thought it was soo funny when Abbey would take his blanket, hold it over her head, and say "Caaaade.... you can't get it..."



Cade loved all of the little rocking chairs!! Especially the ones that Peyton was sitting in!


And of course there was Nana and Papa... who made all of that sitting still time well worth it.



Cheryl and co. made the trek (with darling brand new baby Maddox) out to Loganville, and we were so glad that they did!! Thanks guys! It was so fun to see you!!!


We're so thankful for our wonderful families and friends!!
