Kaden's Birthday!

Kaden turned six this last Saturday. He had a great party and got lots of presents. As most of you know, Kaden has a blanket he sleeps with that his Great Grandma gave him when he was born. This weekend, we officially packed it away. I will show you what it looks like in another post; there is not much left of it. It was very traumatic for him. He misses it most at night but he is doing very well.

Kaden is very good at baseball. We had him hitting balls off of a tee for a very short time. He is now being pitched to.

He would rather watch two hours of a documentary about Earth than any cartoon show. He loves the BBC series.

This year we had the great idea of bringing the laptop down with the webcam so Momo and Papa could watch from Billings. They are able to see him open all of his presents and talk to him as if they were there with us in the living room.

What a fun weekend!!

We had friends from Missoula come down this weekend and stay several days. Sam and Steph have two girls close to Kaden's and August's age. We did so much!

Here we are cooling off. If you look closely you can see the temp. is 95 and it was 10:00 in the morning. We are now into our 100 degree weather...

We went to a place that was like a big McDonalds/Burger King funland. This was a giant tree house with tubes and walkways, and slides in every imaginable configuration going up several stories. Some of the tunnels even went under the tree!

Kaden and Amaya (Sam and Steph's oldest)

Sam and Steph with their youngest, Reesa. With the red hair she could have been Laurel's daughter!

We went to the zoo and got to feed the giraffes! The kids fed them pellets and Kaden was wanting to feed this huge giraffe one pellet at a time! He was very patient...

August loved it!

We got to take a ride over the zoo.

We had a great time and the boys were sad to see their friends leave as did Laurel and I.
