Caden's Birthday Party

Caden had a "Sports" themed birthday party! The kids rotated through different sports stations to earn stickers for their name tag necklace. Then, Tremor (The Rallysaurus) came for a surprise visit! We had a little Tremor Dance Party and squirted him with cans of silly string. So fun! There were a few who did not really enjoy Tremor's visit...see video below.

Dance Party with Tremor...YMCA

The silly string and cotton candy were a big hit!

We also did a short celebration for Macie Lynn who turns 2 on the 24th.

Happy 5th Birthday Caden!

Today is Caden Scott Maurice Bishop's 5th birthday!!!

We feel so blessed to have Caden in our family. He is such a special kid.

Caden had a rough time coming into this world. He was positioned with his head back and his face presenting or also called "nose presentaion". It was a high risk delivery and he came out very swollen and bruised from his eyebrows up. We kept a hat on him to cover the bruising.

Caden is a sweet boy with a lot of energy! He wants to be just like Daddy! They are "partners" and "buds". Caden, we love you so much!!

The picture on the right is Averi, Caden, and Kylee.

Don't Aaron and Caden look alike in these pictures??

They had the same look with their eyebrows, mouths, big dark eyes and those CHEEKS!

I'm going to do another post today about Caden's birthday morning and birthday party!

What Happens in Vegas...

On our way home from Utah, we stopped for an overnight visit with Aaron's high school buddy Benn Brindley. Benn, his awesome wife Amy and their three kids live near Las Vegas. We had a fun time catching up with them and hearing old stories (mostly told by Aaron of course)!

Caden, Aaron, and Carter

Caden loved playing with "Corter" and all of his cool toys!

Abbie, Macie, and Kamryn

Abbie LOVED playing with "older" Kamryn! They even put on a show for us...a show dedicated to Macie for being so cute!

Mason and Macie...

Don't let Macie's sweet smile fool you...Sharing was not the favorite activity for these two!

We need one of these!!!!!

I think Caden would stay in it all day and get a lot of energy out!!

Still Learning!

More Spring Break pictures!

There was a wildlife museum with lots of neat stuffed animals!

One night we went to Fiesta Fun. And boy...was it fun! Go-karts, arcade, miniature golf, indoor "soft" playground, pizza, bumper boats...Fun! Fun! Fun!

Such a fun trip!!

Spring Break 2008

During Spring Break we met up with my parents at Zion National Park!
The kids had a blast hiking, collecting rocks, and swimming.

Zion National Park is BEAUTIFUL!
