Uncle Bubba's Graduation

Here are Kade and cousin Nicholas on the car ride to Georgia to watch Uncle Bryan graduate from basic training. They were tired! We left Wednesday morning at 7:45 a.m. and arrived at our hotel that night at 10:45 p.m.

Here are Mommy & Kade on the way to Georgia. Kade's favorite thing to do in the car was listen to our IPOD's. He loves music! And he loved to put the ear buds in his ears.

Here Kade is sporting his new PT uniform that Uncle Bryan got for him while he was in basic training. Isn't he cute? He will be able to wear it for a long time. As you can tell, it's a little big!

Uncle Bryan just graduated, but Kade wasn't too happy. He was scared of all the noises during the graduation. They did a demonstration with grenades and tanks firing. Kade screamed through the entire thing.

Here are Daddy & Kade in front of a striker after Bryan's graduation. We had a great time watching Bryan's Turning Blue Ceremony on Thursday and Basic Graduation on Friday! Now "Uncle Bubba", which is what Kade calls him, is an Army National Guard Soldier. We are very proud of him!

Always smiling for the camera

We could not get that phone away from him!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Daddy & Kade decided to spend a little quality time together this afternoon for Father's Day playing video games!

Kade loves to watch Daddy play games. He was loving the head set too and didn't want to take it off!

Fun with Dad

Hey, what's this?

Happy Father's Day to a wonderful Daddy & hubby! We love you!!

Growing Up

My baby's not a baby anymore! :( I can't get over how old he looks with his new haircut. I spiked his hair tonight. It didn't want to stand up for very long though. I still thought it was cute!

Kade's New Haircut

Kade's new haircut

Kade got a new haircut today. It's the shortest it has ever been. I really like it! I think it's going to be a good summer do. I've already had some comments that it's an Uncle Bryan haircut.

Kade being silly

I told him to say cheese for the camera!

Bowl Hat & Vaseline

So Kade was eating some popcorn today, and he insisted that I give him the bowl. He thought it would be better used as a hat! He won't wear real hats but doesn't seem to mind bowls.

Popcorn is one of his favorite foods. He especially likes to eat the kernels. Jake said he did that when he was a kid too. I guess that's where he gets it.

Another funny story from today...I was getting ready to leave the house and was letting Kade go back and forth between the living room and our bedroom. He was playing with a fan in our room, and I was in the living room, but I could hear him turning it off and on. I knew exactly where he was and what he was doing even though I couldn't see him. So it got quiet and I said, "Kade, what are you doing?" He came walking out of our bedroom, I guess to let me know what he was doing. He was eating something and saying yum. I got a little scared because there's no food in our bedroom. I asked him what he was eating, and he took me right to it. He had gotten into some Vaseline and was sticking his hand as far in the container as possible, pulling his fingers out, and eating it off his hands. He had it all over his hands, face, and pacifier. Apparently it tasted good because he was going back for more! It was baby powder scent, so I guess that's where the "flavor" came in. :) Oops!!

So Tired

Kade was so worn out after we came in from swimming and playing in the backyard that he fell asleep in my lap. That never happens! He was even still wrapped in his towel.

Look at my big boy! He's so big now, he almost takes up my whole lap. But he'll never be too big for mommy's lap in my eyes! So sweet.

Love it!!

Kade's New Pool

I got Kade a pool to go on our back porch today. He loves it! Even after we came inside, he was standing at the back door crying to go back out. I know we will be spending a lot of time out there this summer!
