More Baseball Daddy Please!

Ryan is playing on a softball team with a bunch of his classmates this summer.  Last night the kids and I met up with some of the other ladies to watch.  The weather did not cooperate as it was freezing and rainy!  Landon was so excited when we told him where we were going and did not stop talking about "baseball and Daddy" the whole way there!  

He had a blast playing with his friend Emma (who he has a terrible time with her name since he gets confused with puppy Emma, he actually called her Haywe (Hailey) when I asked later who he was playing with).  We left after the first game and once Landon realized Daddy was going to play more baseball and we were leaving...he cried the whole way home (almost 20 minutes mind you).  He was still crying about it at home "watch daddy more baseball daddy more baseball daddy!"  He didn't forget until I bribed him with a glass of chocolate milk and the "puppie movie" (101 Dalmations).  

Tonight when Ryan put his bike riding clothes on to go for a bike ride, Landon asked "daddy baseball?"  It was pretty cute... I guess he didn't forget after all.  Daddy's #1 Fan :)

What a great weekend!

Just a preview of the Kids' new pictures!  We had a good time and they did so well!  I can't believe how fast my baby girl is growing up!  

Landon still remains the most photogenic little boy ever!  He was such a good boy and had a fun time hamming it up!

What a fun weekend we had with Mom and Dad here!  Landon and Grandpa had many trips to get coffee and cruise around!  (Dad spoiled me with Starbucks every day!  Do I have the best Dad ever or what!?!)  Mom and Landon enjoyed a long walk outside where Landon picked every dandelion in the yards on our entire street!  We all went to Falls Park on Saturday and it was a blast as usual!  The weather was beautiful and we had fun looking at all of the water! It's always sad when Grandma and Grandpa have to go home!

I'm a bad blogger after all!

We have had a crazy busy month.  It has had its ups and downs but is settling down nicely now.  It was hard to pick just a few pics to post from the last month, so if you're interested, check out my shutterfly account. We had the pleasure of having Jill and her kids here with us for a week!  It was busy with all 4 kids, but a great time.  We are so blessed to have such great families always willing to help us out.  We were lucky and were able to spend Annabelle's real birthday with her.  Trying to get a picture of all the kids looking was near impossible!

Happy Easter!  We had a pretty low key Easter.  I was stuck at work all weekend.  Ryan was home with the kids and Aunty Arin was here.  They had a good weekend with the kids and went to church Sunday- Kadence got to wear her Easter dress afterall!  We colored eggs with Landon...he of course had a blast.  

We have had some really nice days here so the kids have enjoyed getting outside for walks, bike rides, bubbles, and trips to the park.
Kadence is still working on walking!  Soon I think she will just take off!

We are still training for our 1/2 marathon which is in a week and a half!  It should be fun to get back to Fargo and visit some friends and family.  Ryan is busy with clinical this week which he is enjoying and then he has next week off before summer semester starts again.  I will try and update more often now that things have settled down a bit.  Happy Spring!!

We love spring!

Kadence had to have tubes put in her ears last week!  She did so well!  I had to take pictures of these funny jammies that her 'booda' stuck out of!  She hardly cried at all and is such a good baby!  We hope this solves her ear troubles!  
She wasn't so sure of everything but was ok as long as she was being held:)  
Later that day, we got out of the house and went to the park.  Both the kids had a blast cruising in the stroller and looking at everything!
Landon thought the waterfall was pretty cool.  He also enjoyed the choo choo, flying (the planes), and the geese.  I think he ran the entire time, he just looooves being outside!
We can't wait to have more days to spend outside!  

Happy 1st Birthday Kadence!!

Kadence was lucky enough to have two celebrations to celebrate her first birthday!  The first was here in Sioux Falls with our friends here and most of Ryan's family.  We sure were crowded in our place but it was great to have everyone here!  Kadence was happy for most of her party and loved all the attention!
She wasn't so sure of her the candle or her cupcake...good thing big brother was willing to help!
The second party was at Aunty Jilly's and was for her, cousin AJ (1) and cousin Annabelle (2).  What a nice party with a ton of people!!!  Aunty Jilly worked hard and we were all thankful we were able to celebrate with everyone!  Kadence was pretty tired for the party but Great-grandma June's lap was where she stayed the longest!  
Aunty Jilly made little cakes for the three kids to dig into (and Landon and Henry got to join in the fun and split one).  Kadence only went at the cake one finger at a time, Annabelle requested a fork and didn't want to get messy, and AJ demolished his cake...the winner by far!  

I can't believe how fast this first year of Kadence's life has gone!  We love her so much!!!

March Madness!

Landon was out practicing riding his bike this weekend!  It was so warm and he had so much fun!  It is a little big for him so he's working on the concept.  He did take his first spill and had a little road rash on his face!  That for sure won't be his last spill!

Then, 2 days later Landon was able to play outside in the snow!  He was such a good helper shoveling snow with dad!  The snow was all melted by the end of the day!  Might be the last snow this year...haha wishful thinking!

Kadence's new trick, climbing on the trampoline!

She hasn't quite figured out how to get down without doing a face plant though!  She has been moving around like crazy!  She pulls herself up on EVERYTHING and walks around furniture too!  Both her and Landon had a fun weekend with Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Ken in town!  They were spoiled with attention of course and Ryan and I even had a night out!  We were all sad to see them go today but know that we will see them in a couple weeks!  

Little stair climber!

Kadee's new favorite thing is the stairs!  She is obsessed and is climbing them very quick these days:)  She loves pulling herself up to standing, too!  Still hasn't taken any steps yet, but we are working on it.  Hard to believe she will be 1 year old soon!!  Look at her tubby belly:)
