Football in the Front Yard with Da-da and the Dogs!

Lately, since the weather's been getting so nice, Kenden has really enjoyed getting outside to play, especially with his Da-da! They love throwing the football around, and the dogs love being involved, too! Not sure who was having more fun, Kenden or Lulu!

The Boys...




Throw the Ball DA-DA!!

Yep, it's in the genes...the kid's got form! ;o)




Playing Football with Lulu!! She was a little aggressive and it was VERY funny!

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Kenden's First Trip to the Dentist!

Luck O' the Irish to ya and Happy St. Patrick's Day! Go ahead, do what the kid's headband says...Kiss him, he's Irish!!





Here are pics from Kenden's first trip to the dentist...on St. Patrick's Day no less! He had no cavities, and did wonderful. He was definitely very wary and skeptical. He clammed up like nothing I've ever seen him do...avoiding eye contact, not saying a word, and really, he looked near tears. He was given sunglasses to wear so that the light they use wouldn't hurt his eyes, but he was not having it. He got his teeth counted and cleaned, and also got a flouride treatment. No tears, no gagging! At the end, he even got to pick out a new toothbrush, a sticker (Transformer one of course!) and a toy!

Bakin' Brownies with Grammie!

On Sunday, Grammie and Kenden baked a batch of brownies together. Kenden had been eye-balling the box of brownie mix ever since Friday when we arrived at their house. Kenden even got to crack eggs for the first time! They had so much fun!

Carrie's Baby Shower, Round Two!

The cake says it all! Congrats to Carrie and Chase (and Tim, too)! On March 14th, mom and I threw a shower for Carrie at mom's house. Most of the guests at this shower were either neighbors or friends who've known Tim since he was a little boy, or my and Tim's side of the family, with the exception of Carrie's sisters, who were a wonderful help to me! As you can see, a great time was had by all. We played 2 games, had wonderful food and fellowship, and the cake made by Patti Allen was out of this world (as always)! Carrie has all the gear now...we just need a baby! C'mon Chase!

Some of the decorations and guests that attended!







Carrie having a good time opening some of her wonderful presents!
