Family Pictures

So for Christmas Darren's entire family was here and, therefore, we spent most of our time at his parents house (my family may have hated me a little bit...). It was amazing, by the way! On one of the days, Darren's mom's friend came over to get pictures of everyone (what a sweetie!). Unfortunately, Darren doesn't know how to look normal in front of a camera and he won't let me post any family pictures because they all turned out so horrible! So this is the best we got :)  The ones of Cade actually turned out pretty cute though! I don't have all the pictures, but here are a few of the ones I loved.





Ok, I know I am a little biased, but could our son be any cuter?? Every day he gets funnier and is more and more fun to be around. He has such a funny personality. I wish I was better about blogging all of the cute things he does, but alas I suck. I wonder if I'll be any better when I'm done with school.... doubtful. But I have high hopes :) 

Just as a quick update on Cade, he will be two next month. 
He repeats everything we say and anything he hears (he always repeats things he hears on movies... guess I have to start being careful about what I watch around him!)
He is ALL boy. Cars and airplanes are his favorite things right now. I think he would probably be content playing with them all day long
He loves singing songs he is learning in nursery. Among his favorites are Head, shoulders, knees and toes, Once there was a snowman, Popcorn popping, and any song about rain
His favorite shows are Elmo and any Baby Einstein
We spend most of our time chasing each other, tickling, and banging our heads on the couch while making funny noises
His favorite foods are noodles with parmesan cheese and cereal with milk
We make him do "The Candy Dance" any time he wants to get candy (unfortunately now he comes up to  us dancing and saying "candy dance" any time he feels like candy and it's so cute that I almost give in every time)
We found him playing make believe with his teddy bear in the morning and realized that this is the reason he is content in his crib and let's us sleep in
He hates getting dirty
He sucks on his fingers when he is shy
He is ALWAYS getting into our bedside table drawers and getting things he shouldn't. Any time he does this, he hides these items (like chap stick, hand sanitizer, etc.) behind his back and walks sideways past us with an evil smirk on his face
He prefers galloping to running or walking
He's putting more and more sentences together every day
He is growing much to fast and I can't wait to be done with school so I can spend more time with him!

Anyways, sorry for the long and very random post, but I had to write a couple things down about our adorable son before he grows out of this cute stage of his life and I forget all the little things he does that I just love about him.

Ok...what a stud! Totally marriage material for Avery:) My mom told me that every time he is too shy to say hi to her, you cover up his eyes and then he says hi. That is so cute! Yours and Darren's picture is super cute too! Good work. I love family pictures...and when they turn out...even better! I can't wait to see you in a few months and get my hands on that cute little boy of yours...i can't believe he is going to be 2!

Beebs! I am sad we didn't get to hang out more when I was up there! We will have to this summer when I come- those crazy boys will have a good time together I am sure. And we never had one of our special chats :) and we needed to. I laughed when you mentioned the heads banging against the couch- Korver is totally into that kind of thing too. It really has surprised me how boyish boys are even as babies and toddlers. Both of mine are like that. Cade is totally cute and TOTALLY Beeson. I love it! I hope all is going well with the moving and Darren's work and your school. I love you!

Yay! I am so glad you posted pictures. I miss being able to stop by and see you all. So yes, I love a random blog post! Cade has grown up so much since I left. He was such a cutie then and is ever so much more now. I love how you covered his eyes whenever you asked him to say something to me. TOO CUTE!! Maybe one day I will make it out to Washington again, but I honestly don't see that happening for a while.

He is beyond cute. I really can't believe I have never met him. What's up with that, chick?
