THE GROWTH REQUIRED TO RETURN HOME

"One's life...cannot be both faith-filled and stress-free...

"Therefore, how can you and I really expect to glide naively through life, as if to say, 'Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!'...

"Real faith...is required to endure this necessary but painful developmental process."

Elder Neal A. Maxwell

Our little Wiener!
All dressed up

Not sure what he thinks about being a Hot dog

These are just a few funny pics I found of Cade

Ready, set, HIKE

He did this for awhile with his lips. You couldn't help but laugh. He would say things and pucker his lips.

Cade Turned 2!

I am a little late posting this. Cade turned 2 on October 5th.

I love my little buddy. He has turned into such a handful lately, but I have a hard time getting mad because he has such a cute little face. He does have the sweetest personality too.

We went mini golfing on his birthday. He thought this was GREAT.

Look at that swing...
Kens wanted a picture by the beautiful flowers.







This was Cade's football cake.
It soon turned into a football car. I can't tell you how many football cars I have drawn for Cade. I am not sure how it started but I have to draw a football with wheels. He loves it when I draw it. I guess it combines his two favorite things, balls and cars. He is so funny.
Ready for the party.


Happy Birthday Cade! We love you.

Nana and baby Nash

Cade was all geared up for a mean game of football with his sister. He loved his BYU football outfit.

I know I say this every birthday but I can't believe my little boy is 2 already. Time flys!!

Babies grow up so fast!

It is always fun to look back at pictures and see how similar/different your kids looked when they were born.

Baby Kenslee

Baby Cade

Baby Nash

Kens and Cade both had lots of dark hair and dark eyes from the start. Nash is much lighter. He has lots of hair but it is lighter and we still aren't sure what his eyes are going to be.

Babies are so cute and snuggly, I love them!
