Vroom Vroom

After we eat lunch and usually before he has a nap I let Cade run around and get a little energy out. On this particular day I was rinsing dishes and not really paying any attention to where he was at around the house. I went in search of him and found that he figured out how to get into his firetruck by himself. He was turning the wheel and playing with the ladders. He still has a little trouble getting out so he usually grunts at me to help him. I mostly took these for Brian because he was at the fire station and misses out on a lot of new things he is doing. I just can't believe he is getting more and more independent. He tells me "no" more and more each day and actually uses it in the right context. He also likes to tell our dog she is a good girl or in his terms "goo girl".

Flowers!

I decided that it would be a good time to plant some flowers and have Cade help me. Well, my plan was good but ineffective. He loves water and figured out that the hose was the best thing to play with. What is even better than water is dirt mixed in with water and that makes the best stuff on earth to him. I planted the flowers and Cade helped with the hose.
Playing in the Mud

Not only does Cade love playing in the water he loves to be outside. This is him when we told him we needed to go in and eat lunch! He was MAD!!!!

Running Man

My overly ambitious husband Brian has been training for a marathon that he is running on June 8th. This day he decided to go for a run when it had been raining all afternoon. (he thought he could out run the rain) Two minutes after he left it started down pouring and I thought for sure he would come back. He came back an hour later drenched to the gills. He thought it was a great!!! He could hardly wait for the next day to do it again. Maybe that is why he loves being a firefighter because he likes danger or at least living on the edge.

My Spoon(s)!

I will be the first to admit I have a little control issue. When we went to Cade's 15 mos doctor appt. they suggested that he needs to learn to feed himself with a spoon. It has taken me a month to even let him try. All I think about is the mess it will make and if he would be getting enough to eat. So I finally feed him oatmeal (one of his favorite's) first because it really can't stain anything and second because that it was fast to make because he was acting like he was starving. He actually did a great job and knew pretty much what to do. He had to have my spoon too, hence the two spoons in his hands.

Ride em' Cowboy!

Brian and I went to Cody this weekend for Fire School where Brian is an Instructor. Cade stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Martinez and was spoiled rotten the whole weekend. I saw this cowboy hat in one of the gift stores and could not resist. One of Brian's coworkers wife said that this was a "Kenny Chesney hat." I think he is just plain cute in it!!!!
