July has only just begun...

July is a busy month for us. Birthdays galore in this family. 

We started out with Aj's birthday, 

an event that excited Cade to no end. 
Well, at least the cake did.

^^ That ^^ would be a lacrosse ball

Of course no July 4th posting would be complete 

without a picture of our little firecracker! 

Next Up... Cade's birthday. Now, that will be a part-ay.

Family Fun in Frisco

The Chessmore Clan met up in Frisco, CO this June. Importantly, Cade had his first fishing lesson. Grandpa made sure of that. 

 

As excited as he was to fish, he was just as scared of his first fish.

After fishing, there was plenty of time to relax. 

Uncle Brian, Cade, Grandpa

Quick! Before Cade turns 3... a video of his first year!

Yep, Cade is almost 3. To honor this 3rd birthday, I decided to make a video of his 1st year. I know, I'm timely like that.

Rainy Day Fun

  

Cade got to hang with the guys.

Before heading out to the field, we made a stop at the dinosaur museum. Boy were we lucky that we did. Had we not, our house would not currently be graced with this masterpiece -- in case you can't tell what this is, it's a dinosaur. One with feathers. One made by Cade. Regardless, the dino made it home, feathers and clay intact. It's a dinosaur only a mother could love. 

Rainbow Treasure Chest

What to do on a cold, windy day? Make a treasure chest for our little wanna-be pirate. We colored rice and lined it up in the box. In doing so, we hid little treasures. Of course, we added scoops.

We put out a sheet (note to self: next time, we do it on the tile). We played for hours. Well, Cade played and I did my own thang...

Peepshi

We all now that Peeps are a cult of their own. Kinda like Spam. In honor of Easter Peeps, I just might have to make THESE this year. Who doesn't love sushi? And, who doesn't *secretly* love Peeps? Well, if you can, in all honesty, say that you do not love Peeps, then you have not tried the chocolate-covered ones.

Catching up... once again

I guess I'm a seasonal blogger. 

And, I guess I skipped over winter. 

To make up for it, here is a picture 

from Christmas Morning.

  Post Christmas . . . 

Does he love to read or does he love to delay bedtime?
