Cade's Birthday

Happy 3rd Birthday Cade! Our lives have changed a lot in these last 3 years and look forward to many more! Grandpa Poll were able to come for the festivities and our big outing while they were here was bowling. Cade's never been and he loved every minute of it!

Grandma helping Cade
(she was very nice to let him take all of her turns in addition to his own!)
This picture gives a good depiction of all that was going on-
Cade bowling, McCall squealing, grandma taking pictures, and everyone taking a turn holding McCall so the others could bowl. Good times.)

Not McCall's best pose, but a good shot of her busy little tongue!

Group effort

Happy to hold- happy to be held!

Cade was quite determined to carry his own ball, and he did!

Taking a turn with Mom.

Fireman in training.

Pizza with the family.
(McCall couldn't help but steal some attention from Cade.
I'm sure that won't be the last time!)
Cade just started Swimming lessons again and he's been asking for  "swimming glasses" for weeks.
Luckily I bought these the end of last season - he loves 'em!
He's also sporting his new Jazz jersey from Uncle Jaque and Aunt Danni.
Thank you!
He's definitely got the hang of opening presents!

Also a great investment - Cars bath bubbles!
They look almost exactly like the toys that cost  $21.00 a piece, but cost less than $5.00!
This picture also shows Lance and Robin video chatting in the background. Even though all the aunts and uncles live far away, Cade's pretty lucky to have seen and/or talked to all of them on his birthday! Love you all!

His "Cars" cake that I was pretty proud of for being an amateur!
(Thanks for your help Mom!)

He was pretty excited about it and that's what makes it all worth it!

Licking each car...

…and dipping his finger in the side a time or two.

Dad joining in the fun.

We decided to spare the jersey.

Yum!
(Everyone's piece escaped the finger poke, except for Grandma Udy. Sorry!)

Ahh, to be a kid again!

Sunday Best - Poses Worst

I had a few extra minutes before church a couple weeks ago and thought I'd get a 'Sunday Best' shot. Instead, I got a lot of not-so-great poses. I thought I'd at least post my efforts and hopefully put a smile on your face!

Spaced face. Mad face.
Not interested.

McCall showing Cade who's boss.
Then making him leave the premises. 

The 'flap your arms as fast as you can' pose.

Cade's famous 'I love you so much' face.

The 'take this silly thing off my head' shot.

Finally had it. Resigned her hair accessory to a necklace. 

Also had it. Decided he needed to button all of his suit coat buttons in stead of look at the camera.

I guess this one will have to do!
