Children's Museum

We went to the children's museum and the kids had fun playing with the bubbles, being silly and milking the cow.

Going swimming

After another hot day, we spent the evening at Uncle Steve and Aunt Terri's, where everyone got to swim and Cassidy got to jump into the pool.

Drive-thru zoo

We went to a drive-thru zoo which the kids, myself included, enjoyed all of the animals, but it was the petting zoo that was the biggest hit. Cassidy topped off the hot afternoon with an icee as big as her that she shared with me.

Cassidy and Grayson

Cassidy's cousins Grayson and Cameron and Uncle Dale and Aunt Pam came for a visit a few weeks ago. As usual, Cassidy and Grayson were very busy the entire week.

Four wheelin'

Cassidy got to go for a ride with Daddy on the four wheeler out at Uncle Steve and Aunt Terri's, but after the ride she was not ready to get off. She is quite the tomboy, just like her mommy.

Big girl bed

Tomorrow marks week three of Cassidy sleeping in her big girl bed. We had to get her out of her bed before her brothers arrived because we swapped cribs with a friend who already has 4 year old twin boys and she was getting Cassidy's crib for the baby girl she is expecting two days before me. The first transition night of trying the bed, she (we) were up until midnight, so we put her back in her crib. After that night it has been smooth sailing. For the first week she gave up her naps, but would stay in her room, in her bed, reading books and singing...this was pretty much all I was hoping for. She now not only sleeps through the night, but has even started taking naps in her bed. She doesn't try to get out of her bed in the morning when she wakes up or naptime, she always waits for us to come in and then she says, "Good job", because that is what we tell her.

 

 

Cassidy and Uncle Steve

After an afternoon of swimming at Uncle Steve and Aunt Terri's house, Uncle Steve treated Cassidy to her first ride on a tractor, which she loved. Cassidy has a bad habit of picking her top lip and she has had it since she was a little over a year old. What is funny about this habit is that Uncle Steve has the exact same habit and has had it since he was a child. You can see Cassidy picking her lip in some of the pictures while riding with Uncle Steve...how appropriate.

Daddies and Babies

Robert has been friends with Orlando for quite a long time, so it was only appropriate that Cassidy and Luke, Orlando's son, meet so they can become life-long friends as well.

Goodbye to Garraty

We sold our house on Garraty so we went down on Wednesday, the day before closing, to get our final pictures in the house that has been so good to us. It was the first home Robert and I purchased together, the first home we brought our precious Cassidy home to, and also our first home to hold so many of our memories. It was bittersweet, but the Lord took the burden of two mortgages away very quickly (moved out in February, put it on the market in March and sold it in April) and blessed us with two new babies on the way.

 

 

 

 

Three generations

For Mother's Day this year, we went downtown with Daddy, Cappy and Nonna for lunch.
