Hope all is well with everyone! I'm not even going to apologize, LOL, I know I need to keep it updated when even my hubs reminds me that it hasn't been updated in over a month :) Just been a busy momma, I've recently been accepted into 2 new digital scrapbooking stores so getting all that set up... of course a certain toddler has been keeping me busy :) <br /><br />Cade is doing great, he is such a little boy now... He's not talking but I fully expect him to know his entire alphabet forwards & backwards when he does start. He always brings me the "M" letter magnet (since you know, Mommy starts with M)... and he will bring some letters & say the names, and he even mouths the letter sounds when I sing to him... He says "da da" and "no no" and "oh no" and "pa pa" and even "papaw" a few times... sometimes "mommy" when he's desperate, LOL... he has a little white bear that is his best buddy, Hi-ya... that bear has seen better days, he's tattered & worn but I don't think we could ever replace him. <br /><br />I've been enjoying my camera SO MUCH so in celebration of Cade's 2nd Birthday, here are some recent favorites... actually all of these are from this week!<br /><br />Happy Birthday Cade!!! <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img

I am hoping to get him well by the time the jolly man comes on Friday but this is Cade's first cold of the season so I guess I should be thankful he's been so healthy to this point.<br /><br />ANYWAY... for those of you who haven't received a card from us, I am VERY sorry...

He wasn't very impressed and was so funny, turning around looking at him like, who are you and why are you holding me? But, he didn't scream or cry, so I guess he did pretty good.<br /><br />And here is the pic... not the best but they took a few and this was our favorite. For one thing, Cade doesn't look totally distressed... and Santa's expression is pretty funny too! <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/Santa09.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Christahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12790832677901794663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377207321221445448.post-83992330812393931952009-12-11T00:00:00.002-05:002009-12-11T00:04:17.719-05:00Happy 21 Months...A few from today...

I made 3 attempts at Christmas pictures of him, in front of the tree, dressed up... blah blah... Well, it went something like this... Attempt #1... I put a white sheet up in his room, dressed him up in his Christmas outfit and proceeded to take around 150 pictures of him. He was so good, even looked at the camera for about 10-15 shots. But when I put them on my computer, I did a mental head slap... I used flash, inside, and the shadows were just ridiculous... so we'll just try again, right? Well attempt #2, the next day... put him back in his Christmas outfit, and instead of doing the white sheet in his room, that gets very little natural light, I opened up the front shades in the living room and attempted to get some shots in front of the tree. Terribly blurry, just not even usable. So I adjust the settings on the camera and sit in the floor for one more attempt and by this point, he is annoyed. He turns around and is pulling ornaments off left and right and before I could get up to stop him, he pulled the tree down... on us. It was a disaster... tree parts all over the living room... the top of the tree actually bent. Was really great. Thankfully it was nap time for Mr. Monster and so he went straight to bed and right to sleep. I spent the rest of the afternoon picking up the mess, rewrapping torn gifts & destressing. This is the picture that I snapped right before he pulled it down...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0007_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Third attempt... today... and I am so happy that I finally got some pictures that I loved. Because this was seriously going to be my last attempt at pictures in front of the tree. So here they are... :)<br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0011_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0015_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0016_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0017_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0020_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0036_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0050_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0069_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0084_edited-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0084_edited-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/12-2009/DSC_0085_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /></center>Christahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12790832677901794663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377207321221445448.post-74249554003764527992009-12-05T22:30:00.001-05:002009-12-05T22:32:22.356-05:00pictures... as promised!I have a lot to learn with my new camera, but as promised, here are a few of my favorite shots from this weekend!!<br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/DSC_0014copy2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/DSC_0007copy3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/DSC_0095copy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/DSC_0099copy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/DSC_0102_edited-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/DSC_0106copy2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /></center>Christahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12790832677901794663noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377207321221445448.post-39908226664286550672009-12-01T15:37:00.005-05:002009-12-01T16:05:32.087-05:00Photo Dump!! And update!Holy Cow, where did November go??? :) <br /><br />I know I know, bad mommy for not updating the blog in ONE MONTH!!! But... what can I say, life happens, we get busy, and then we do a lot of begging for forgiveness, LOL... so here I am... with PICTURES! I'm actually doing a camera dump today... for one thing, my camera is toast... it has been dying on me since Halloween so these pictures are not the best. I didn't take nearly as many in November and I'm sure by looking at these pics, you can see why... I did some pretty wacky photo editing just to make them look decent enough to post. The good news, I'm getting a new camera, should be here today, so you'll be seeing PLENTY of Mr. Cade in the coming weeks!! I CAN NOT WAIT to get it. I'm just sitting here waiting on the UPS man, LOL.<br /><br />A little update on Cade... he is doing FANTASTIC! He is so much fun, so sweet & smart & such a good boy! He is starting to talk a little. He doesn't say much consistantly but when he comes out with something, you know it! His latest thing is that everything is "gooood"... LOL... and I'm just assuming that's because I always call him my good boy. I think he even said "good da-e" last night... (yes, he calls Derek da-ee... his version of daddy) He LOVES the Christmas tree. He was so excited when he saw it for the first time and we spent much of the evening decorating it with blocks and gears and stuffed animals... but I think he's over it now and usually just runs up and touches it and then leaves it alone. So not the disaster I was afraid it would be.<br /><br />And, at Cade's 18 month checkup (which he was actually 20 months when he went, LOL) he was 33 and a half inches and 29 pounds and the doc was very happy!!<br /><br />Okay, now for my camera dump... say bye bye to these point & shoot photos! I can't wait to start shooting with my new camera!!<br /><br /><br />Superman Jammies<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/IMG_9267.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Playing outside...<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/IMG_9278.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/IMG_9280.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/IMG_9281.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/IMG_9283.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/IMG_9288.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/11-2009/IMG_9292.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!

I know, it has been awhile and I'm very sorry that I haven't updated the blog. Things have been busy & hectic and it has really been the last thing on my mind. Between my work-at-home job, being a mommy to a VERY active (and cute) toddler, and now getting my digital scrap store going, I've been finding myself with very little "free time"... so now it's 7 a.m. and I'm sipping on some coffee, hoping that Cade will sleep for at least another 20 minutes. He tried to get up at 3 a.m. today, and almost tricked me into thinking it WAS in fact morning. I heard him laughing & playing and actually sat up, getting ready to get up, and then realized that it was so early. </p><p>I guess the hardest part of the past few weeks has been that we lost our kitty cat, Josie this week. She was hit by a car on the road sometime Sunday night. It absolutely crushed us and I still can't believe she's gone. We went & rescued Josie at the animal shelter in Winchester when we were first married... got her around Thanksgiving 2003. She was our baby, probably the most quirky cat that I had ever met, and I miss her more than I ever imagined I would. We never expected her to live 20 years because she had so many health problems, but this was unexpected and has been so hard. </p><p>So in memory of Josie...</p><p>This is probably my favorite pic of her... as a tiny kitten:</p><p><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/10-2009/josie1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><p>She was fat & happy... at least we can say we gave her a good life.</p><p><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/10-2009/josie3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><p>Now for some pics of Cade. He has been doing great. Still not talking but he jabbers all day long and has been saying a few more words. He will just say a word once and that's it though. No need to repeat words, right? He has been saying "mom mom" lately though and I am almost certain I heard him say "car"... and we're pretty sure that he says "fishes" on a pretty regular basis (for goldfish - his fav snack!) </p><p>At his first Sorghum Festival...</p><p><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/10-2009/Oct32009005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><p><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/10-2009/Oct32009009.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><p><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/10-2009/Oct32009011.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><p>Picking Papaw Bentley's flowers, LOL</p><p><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/10-2009/Oct32009013.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><p><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/10-2009/Oct32009018.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><p><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/10-2009/Oct32009019.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><p><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/10-2009/Oct32009021.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><p>Doesn't he look rotten here?

Cade had such a great time being O-U-T-S-I-D-E --> and yes, we spell it now. I love these... even though he wouldn't look AT the camera, he was being so sweet, playing with his cars on the blanket, even spent a few minutes laughing... nobody knows why... evidently his cars were being funny :)<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509015.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509018.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509032.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509043.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509053.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509067.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509069.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509070.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509071.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509076.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509077.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509082.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Cade with his very first Little People... and I must say, his collection has already grown by 5 People and 1 Bus :)<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/sept509010.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />We spent today playing with Brady.

We've noticed recently that when cartoon characters fall or get hurt, Cade laughs. So here he is, laughing at the Backyardigans... One of the characters is falling out of a plane without a parachute... and evidently it is hilarious. <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/25G8GX48x7I&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullSJustcreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/25G8GX48x7I&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Christahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12790832677901794663noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377207321221445448.post-29684658304291013022009-09-01T15:37:00.003-04:002009-09-01T15:50:35.494-04:00Update: My Sick Boy & No More Wood Snacks!Sorry I haven't updated the blog... Cade has been sick... mommy has been sick... it's been a super fun week (insert sarcasm). I think we're finally getting back to normal though. Cade is feeling better enough to eat & drink - I thought he was going to waste away from not wanting to eat or drink. And I think I'm just a day or 2 behind him. <br /><br />The CribShield FINALLY came in the mail today... Amazon is either super fast or super slow at shipping it seems... but it's here, it's installed, and seems to work so far (knock on wood!)<br /><br />This was Cade last Tuesday... he was just starting to get sick on Tuesday and obviously wasn't feeling great - I found him almost asleep under the table.<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/Sept109018.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I found him in the floor with a box of wipes... apparently cleaning his feet. LOL<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/Sept109002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />After his afternoon nap today... feeling much better. I love going in & seeing him like this! <br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/Sept109037.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Cute as a bug... and as you can see, his crib looks a lot more "classy" than the redneck duct tape looked, LOL<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/Sept109038.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/Sept109039.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/Sept109040.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Showing off the inside...<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/09-2009/Sept109044.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Now off to play with my lil boy!!!

He's starting to chew the vertical crib slats. And it's not just bite marks. It's big chunks missing... splinters... the works. The pictures don't do it justice... I will say that I think he has ruined this crib. No way I'd let another newborn sleep in it. <br /><br />So here's just SOME of the damage:<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/Aug212009001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/Aug212009002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <br /><br />I had to keep him from getting splinters in his mouth & eating more wood... since I'm pretty sure he is eating it... so my temporary fix:<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/Aug212009005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/Aug212009006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Yes, that is silver duct tape. <br /><br />It's just temporary... the duct tape seems to be more appealing for him to chew on, so we ordered this and hopefully it will come SOON:<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/51fN3-6uz2L__SL500_AA280_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/51hSTktpUxL__AA280_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />It reminds me of the mesh around his playpen, and if that's the case, he shouldn't be able to sink his teeth into it.

Well that has gotten to be virtually impossible, now that he's on the move. Just getting him to look at the camera is a chore! I decided to take on the task today... and here are some of my favorites. There are more in his photobucket, linked on the sidebar. Enjoy!<br /><br />Such a little boy!<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909004.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Some will see this picture and think "Dowdy Smirk"... <br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Looking for trouble...<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909009.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I think ALL moms will know why this picture is so sweet...<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909010.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Stopping a sec to check on mommy...<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909012.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I love this... he has his hand in his pocket, LOL<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909014.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Outside... his FAVORITE place to be!<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909018.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909027.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909030.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909032.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I LOVE this one...<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909036.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909037.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909040.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Not sure why, but I love this pic... even though his head is cut in half.<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909049.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Working on his mower...<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/81909055.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Christahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12790832677901794663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377207321221445448.post-49502011719742500382009-08-19T09:01:00.001-04:002009-08-19T09:02:55.371-04:00Zzzzzzz....I love this. <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/8-19-09001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/8-19-09002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/8-19-09003.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n390/Cade_Lucas/08-2009/8-19-09004.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Christahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12790832677901794663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377207321221445448.post-46301452076285126662009-08-07T09:48:00.002-04:002009-08-07T10:09:01.694-04:00Catching up...And I'm brining peace offerings... pictures & videos.
