Kade's Very First Hair Cut

Here is a before picture.........

And here is our new little man :)

WOW..I'm still trying to get used to it myself!

Just Handsome.

Gabe and I have talked about it, put it off, talked about it and put it off again and again:) The final decission came after 3 people told me how cute "SHE" was within the last two weeks. It didn't matter what he was wearing, he was still mistaken for a cute little girl with big curls!!!!! I woke up one morning and said "Kade, lets cut your hair today". I put him in the highchair and fed him suckers to keep him still and AWAY WE CUT one curl at a time :( I figured he was due his first hair cut after two and half years. It was definatly a bitter sweet moment..........

and more birthday pictures................

Catch me if you can!!

I like to stand up and drive so I can see where I'm heading.

Oh how we love cake.

Anyone who thinks this was easy....think again! Keeping 10 toddlers still at one time :):):):)

Papa and the boys. Kade knows exactly who his papa is...Kole isn't so sure yet :)

Kole opening his gifts and Kade is steeling them as quickly as he can.

Mindi, Aunt Velma, Meme and Aunt Tonya....doing cake duty.

YEAH...more of this fun paper. I can't wait to rip it up into a million pieces.

FINALLY....KOLE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

Not so interested in cake when I have a big cookie in hand.

We tried so hard to get all the cousins in one picture..not the easiest job.

Oh how we love the bubbles...more please!!!!!!

Not a bad tastin cake but I'd like my cookie back now :)

Kole and Meme.

Thanks for the new set of wheels Mom and Dad!

We had to work around several other birthdays but were finally able to celebrate Kole's first birthday. We had a Elmo cake and Jason's Deli and lots of bubbles for all the kiddo's. I think Kade loved the party more than Kole did. Kole had to fight big brother off of all his new toys...mainly the new hot-rod!!!!! As you can see in the pictures, Kole couldn't wait for daddy to put it together. Thank You to all our family and friends for making Kole's birthday a truly special day!!!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!

I'm a rodeo clown!!!!

Quit trying to take my suckers away...it's TRICK OR TREAT today!

Yep....Aunt Tonya gave this one year old a sucker!!!!!!

SO....this was really Kade's first halloween since he wasn't old enough to understand last year. I tried to think of an easy costume since I knew he wouldn't keep anything heavy or hot on for long. Since Kade loves getting into my makeup and loves wearing ANYTHING on his head, I figured a wig and some makeup would be our best bet. We took him trick-or-treating to a few houses on our street. At first he was a bit shy and confused but as soon as he realized trick-or-treat meant CANDY, he was on his way. Just like Easter, he wanted to eat what he had and wasn't worried about getting more.....totally worked for mom and dad too. After 6 houses, we returned home to help Aunt Tonya and Kole hand out candy. As for Mr. Kole, we came home to find him with a sucker in hand....yes Aunt Tonya had given him a sucker. We spent the rest of the evening fighting with both boys over the candy dish. Even with two little boys, both on a sugar-high, this turned out to be a great Halloween.
