Remembering 9/11




It is hard to believe we are having another anniversary for the tragedy that happened on 9/11. There are many people that Nick and I know that are serving our country to ensure our freedom. I am so grateful for all the military men and women. When you have children it makes things so different you not only live everyday to bring them up right we are fighting to keep the everyday freedom that we all had growing up. Nick, I am so proud of you for what you did before, during and after 9/11. I will never know what you went through, but I will always be grateful for what you did and Caden will be so proud when he is old enough to learn that his own dad fought for his freedom. Thank you.


2 1/2 years old....


It is hard to believe that Caden is 2 1/2 yrs old. Time goes by so fast. If anyone has heard the country song "Don't Blink" that is what I feel like. When I wake up tomorrow and blink he will be 5 yrs old before we know it. Caden has been such a blessing to Nick and I. I could have never imagined how much I would enjoy being a mother. A true blessing and I don't take it for granted. Caden is into a little bit of everything....Mostly construction trucks. He loves telling anyone who will listen that he wants a concrete mixer, excavator, dump truck, backhoe loader and a bob cat all for Christmas. Actually the Christmas list goes on and on!!! He also loves making new friends. In our new neighborhood any kid that walks by no matter the age, he SCREAMS across the street "Heyyyyy come play with me" then follows by asking there name. He is so funny. He also loves singing. Music is in the blood. So many of my family members played in a band or sang I guess that is where he gets it. His favorite right now is "Take me out to the ballgame", "Baa Baa black sheep" and "Jesus loves me." He can now count to twenty and when he see's something with writing on it he thinks it is his ABC's so if he is in the bathtub and picks up the shampoo bottle and starts to read he sings his ABC's(too funny) I don't know what we will do come winter because he loves being outside EVERYDAY. When it rains, we hear all day "Rain, rain go away, come back another day." It is so cute. The picture I posted is actually from a year ago. It goes by to fast especially when you see how much he has grown in one year. We will continue to cherish each day that we have such a gift.
