Oh my! Its been 3 weeks since my last entry. We have been busy with the start of football season. 2 hour practices 5 nights a week and with Scott coaching he is at the field a half hour before and we usually dont leave the field until at least a half hour after, sometimes an hour! But given the games dont start til this weekend, it did lend us the opportunity to run down to Redding this weekend. The plan was for me to attend a baby shower down there, and for Scott to take our boys plus friend Jacob to the water park. But after the mother to be was admitted to the hospital ( all is well now though) I got to join in on the water fun too :-) The above photo is Cade being hit in the face by a water cannon

Our boys playing with the water cannon

Sitting on top of the watr volcano awaiting its erruption

And with cousin Landen outside of his home where the shower was to be. It is Scotts cousin,Neil's girlfriend Christy who is due a baby boy sept 19th. Although this weekend he almost arrived early via emergency c section, but everything calmed down and "mom to be" is now home and resting. No more work for her.

So thats it. Holiday photos will now cease as starting this weekend it will be all football photos. Off to find a tshirt so I can have Cades number printed on it. Go no.44!! Dad, wear your Pop Warner jacket for luck saturday. Cades team plays at 1230 and then again at 2pm.

Hope alls well with everyone

Love to all

I just wrote out a long blog entry and it has disappeared therefore you are now getting the condensed version. Here's Cade birthday cake no.2. This was to share with his friends who had a sleepover and play day to celebrate his birthday with him

Here I am with my birthday boy. Quite solemn and those of you who are on facebook know why!

Having trouble blowing out his candles. And again those of you on facebook know why

Oops, this is not the right photo. This one was meant to show Braeden helping Cade, but given the computer is acting up I am not going to try and sort this!!

And for those of you who are not on facebook, this is the answer to your question "why". he slipped on the ladder of the pool on monday night with all his friends over, and it resulted in these injuries that necessitated us spending the rest of the evening in the ER. He is now all glued shut, and is on football restriction and no swimming for the week!

But he still did manage to have a great birthday. Thank you to everyone for your birthday wishes, cards and gifts.

Love to all

Good Monday morning to you. I am off mon, tues this week and boy does it feel good. I think my ideal work schedule would be to only work tues,wed,thurs :-)Shame my boss and husband wouldn't go for that. Anyway, as you see we have been doing more boating. Fun times, but this time came with a little more excitement that Scott would've wished for.........

We got a flat on the boat trailer as we headed home sunday. No sweat for Scott though....i think he changed that tire in record time. Maybe he should work for Nascar or formula 1!! Look behind him. There is Cade clutching his "Nook", the e reader that Scott, mum, dad and I got him for his birthday. I was going to hold onto it until his birthday but mums birthday card that Cade opened the other day when it arrived read "enjoy your nook"!!!! And although as a baby cade called his pacifier/dummy a nook I really couldn't cover that one!!!!!!!

OK, do you think I made mum cringe enough!?!?. Only joking. Cade didnt even realise what was written on the side of the card, and I thought I would give it to him earlier so he could figure it out before he has his friends for sleepover on his birthday as I am sure he is going to want to show it of. I am so happy with how much reading he has done on it already. He takes after his granda Ian.....like his technology!

And here are some photos just for mum. Some examples from my garden. We have had wonderful tomatoes, cucumbers, broccolli and sugar snap peas from the garden. And later we will have acorn squash, thats the pic on the left with the snail on it, and brussel sprouts....see them staring to bud on the stem on the pic on the right. Very exciting!!

Right. I better go. Need to get this house ready for 4 additional boys sleeping over for Cades birthday tonight. Should be fun!!!!

Love to all
