So- we had to cancle dax's birthday party because him and cader-bug were very sick- the party is tonight- so check back tomorrow for party pics and the cute cake I made him!!
I felt a little guilty not having a cake on his actual birthday- so at the last minute I made cookies (which he didn't want anything to do with) and we opened his present from g-ma and g-pa larsen. On his birthday when he woke up for the morning austin and I went in his room singing "happy birthday" and a few minutes later Cade walks in and says, "ho ho ho santa baby!"...he was confused all day saying, "I want to sit by the santa baby!"-
a picture speaks 1000 words...I just have to tell this story. We all know how fun my cader-bug is, especially when he's sick! But this picture seriously made my whole day!
Cade had dumped out some goldfish crackers all over the carpet and all over the tile. I had had it with cleaning up after him- because I feel like it's all I do- so finally I decided to put my foot down and just not do it. Hopefully he'll learn and then next time, maybe he won't make such a mess...
Me: Cade, you need to pick up all those crackers before you can do anything else.
C: no mom, you need to clean them up! It's too hard...you have to help me....(and more whining)...
Me: Nope! You made the mess, now you clean it up. (and then I just walked away so I wouldn't fall into his trap.)
about 10 minutes later I came back upstairs to see all the crackers cleaned up off the carpet!!! and he was kneeling over the tile picking up the remaining gold fish. I almost had a HEART ATTACK!!! He listened to me???!!! Holy crap!!
ME: CADE!! I am so proud of you! Thank you so much for cleaning up the gold fish!! You ROCK!!
He was happy, and I of course had to take a picture...then a few minutes later he said, "mom, do I still rock?!"
We went and visited Grandma and Grandpa great in logan. It was fun to see their new house and let the boys play around with their "totally awesome" walkers (they even have baskets on them!!) Grandpa is so silly and I'm glad I got this on video! It's fun to see him be so silly- I definitely know where my dad got it! Hopefully I got some of it too...so I can pass it on to my boys. We love you grandma and grandpa!

I like the new design! Will you tell Cade to come and teach Arleigh how to listen to me.
Grandpa is such a nut! What a great video. I'm so sorry about your watch Jess! I totally forgot until I looked at your blog. I feel like such an idiot! I am coming down for a vball tourney in a week or so and I will bring it then! :)
