First Day of School!

Today was the first day of school for the boys. Cadence is in 4th grade and Easton is in kindergarten! I can't believe it! I especially can't believe that my baby Easton is in KINDERGARTEN! What the freak!?! He kept telling me "Can you believe that I am going to kindergarten in elementary school?" What a cutie!

Easton was so excited last night it took him forever to fall asleep. I went in to check on him and this is how I found him! He had taken out all his school supplies and surrounded himself with them! What a CUTE CUTE kid! I could just bite him he is so cute! I love him so much!

Easton is all ready to go! He is in his new outfit. I felt bad because I ordered his backpack from overstock.com and it hasn't arrived yet so he had to use my old, worn-out backpack. He still looked great though!

Cadence looks awsome in his new outfit that he got from his Grandma and Grandpa Humes for his birthday! He is also wearing the backpack and shoes he got from Aunt Karla and Uncle Mike! He is so big and tall! I love him so much! He was getting annoyed with me because I wanted to take pictures and walk him to his classroom. He ended up walking to his classroom by himself because he didn't want to wait for me....I think he was a little embarrassed too! He is so grown-up!

I did get a chance to walk Easton to his class. He sat right down and got working on his first assignment! I couldn't help but tear up!

He looks so cute! He was so excited because he got a new watch to wear to school. He is so big!

I can't wait to hear about their first day! I hope they have a great day! Now I have to figure out what to do all day with out them! I guess I can start by cleaning up the house. It is a mess after all the partying we did this weekend for Cadence's birthday!

Happy 9th Birthday Cadence!

Cadence turned 9 on Saturday! Wow he is getting so big! He is such a great kid. He is so helpful and loving. I couldn't ask for a better kid! I am also so blessed because he get along really well with his little brother Easton. I remember lying in bed with Cadence watching him sleep when he was first born. I remember thinking that I didn't want him to get to be 6 months old because then he wouldn't be a baby anymore! Despite what Cadence thinks, he will ALWAYS be my baby!

We had two parties for him on Saturday. We had a friend party in the afternoon. The party went really well and was a lot of fun for the kids.

Cadence is 9!

First the kids made tornado bottles.

Next, we made marshmallow guns! These were a big hit! The kids tried to hit targets and had a "war" at the end of the party.




Here are the troops!

Next we did the pinata. Cadence broke the pinata stick on the first hit! You can see the broken piece flying in this picture!

We had cake and ice cream next.

Later that evening we had a family party. My brother and two sisters came with their families to celebrate! We have a ton of extra cake!


Cadence got an air soft gun for his birthday. This took a lot of begging on his part but he LOVES it! Him and his cousin Adam shot their guns every chance they got! Goggles are a must!



Happy Birthday Cadence! I love you!
