The Trio
Through the crazy bits of life, I was able to enjoy a dinner with two amazing friends...Becah and Margaret. Although this is not the greatest picture, I will treasure our time laughing and being together! Bootcamp buddies for LIFE!

Mother's Day
Mother's Day is always one of my favorite days. Birthdays are nice, but giving thanks to a Mom is just incredible. Mom's are many times the rock of the families. Mom's give strength, compassion, tough love, car rides, bedtime prayers, clean clothes, clean house, meals, medicine, and a kiss whenever needed. Even being over 30, I can say on a rough day, nothing beats talking to "Mom". Thanks be to God for the Mom's in our lives who have been perfect examples all these years to Charles and I. And, there jobs are never over because now, they hold me accountable for my actions and motherhood. Praise God for my 2 awesome accountability partners!
Today was a relaxing day, and one that would be hard to beat! We made sure the laundry, grocery shopping, yard, and housekeeping was done yesterday so that today would be all about family. After church, we grabbed a picnic lunch and headed to the park. We enjoyed eating, running around, feeding the birds/turtles, and climbing trees. After a fun afternoon, we went home to take naps and rest before meeting everyone for dinner. Corey had come into town and so had Aunt Laura (AKA: Aunt Lala), so we enjoyed a nice dinner at Babins with the whole family! It was a blessing to spend time relaxing all day with those I love. God is so good!
Happy Mother's Day to all those Mom's out there. God has called us to a great responsibility of raising his children, so make every moment count!

More Tball
Tball game #4 went great today. We have 3 games left and I think we are getting the hang of this! Cade required very little 1:1 directives today and fell right in line with the others. He played in the outfield and no balls made it to him, but he stayed on the field and only crossed his arms a few times. While at bat, he had some great hits and ran to first base! He did ask if he was going to earn his snack today a few times, but finished the game strong. For those of you who haven't experienced organized sports of a 3yr old, the snacks at the end of games are the real reason the kids play and do what they are told. Caelin ran around the whole time wearing extra helmets and trying to capture the extra balls. She is ready to play already!

Cade's PS Performance
Today, I got the joy of taking a day off to celebrate Cade! Being a working Mom is so hard when the field days, water days, theme days, etc come around. It can sometimes be hard to juggle the work life, home life, Kids lives, and marriage all at the same time. I decided that this was one of those days I just couldn't miss.
Looking back at Cade's year in preschool, he has learned so much. Cade has always been bright and energetic. I was not worried about him academically, but was praying God would teach us how to make friends and all the good lessons of life. I couldn't be happier of the outcome. Cade has grown so much this year and I am so proud of him. He has mastered most letters, numbers, shapes, colors, tracing, writing his name, etc. He worked hard to make friends, be a good friend, learn to share, not tattle, follow class rules, and use a quiet voice. We have improved from about 3-4 purple rug visits (time out) per week to none for the last month. We have also been accident free with potty training for almost 4 weeks now. Cade clearly tells us about his day at school and I love that he is starting to participate in art projects now. This means I can get some adorable pictures for our fridge! We still work to follow directions and remain calm at times, but I like to say that is just my little man's personality.
For their Preschool program, all the kids performed about a 30 min show involving saying the pledges, reciting verses, singing songs, and some pretty good laughs for the parents. Cade was in the middle stage and was not at times into what was going on. He did perform though! A few times he could be heard as the loudest, danced/rocked a little on his own, and talked to those around him. The pictures below clearly tell the story. Regardless of whether he is a performer or not, we are so proud of Cade's year in Preschool. I must say we were blessed with two teachers who were AMAZING, Mrs. Jodi and Ms. Ivania. Thanks to them for their patience, love and teaching to Cade. Cade loves his teachers and I KNOW that makes all the difference in the world when it comes to school. Congratulations Cade on a year of learning and growing into the little boy God created you to be. We have enjoyed every one of your accomplishments and laughing along the way with you. Thank you for who you are, your personality and for the love you show to those around you.

Catch up/Tball
So, these past two weeks have been uneventful with illness in our family. Somehow we all came down (within days of each other) with some sinus infection turned into upper respiratory/ear infections! It was a nasty virus that had everyone with doctor appointments and LOTS of meds for everyone! We are still trying to get rid of this nasty thing, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel! This morning was Cade's 3rd Tball game and we did much better than the first two games. We hit the ball when it was our turn, ran the bases, and played 1st base. So, making progress! We are trying to learn things such as "why doesn't the ball come to me every time ", "Why do I have to stay on the field if I am hot?", and "Why can't I just sit and watch the game rather than play?". I am not saying these are not valid questions in the mind of a 3 year old...just things we are working on. I did laugh when he was playing 1st base and I told him to "get the ball and touch 1st base". So, Cade got the ball, walked leisurely to 1st base, and slapped it with his hand. Well, that it what I said, right? Ha! We are proud of Cade and all he is learning about being a team player. His personality constantly keeps us laughing. Good job Cade and GO ORIOLES!
