Cows

Today we took Cadence to my friend's house. She lives on a farm and has 90 cows and will have 91 calves by the end of the summer. (I think they have about 60 calves right now). Cadence got to go to the barn and see a couple of the new baby calves. She wasn't really sure what to make of them at all. I didn't get any pics of the baby calves as one was very sick and the other one's mother was very protective, so we didn't want to get too close!






Garage Sales Galore

This past weekend was the weekend of the 100 mile garage sales. My mom and I went to so many sales it's crazy! We found a TON of great deals, most of which we didn't need. It was so much fun, I can't wait to do it next year. We had to bundle Cadence up since it was so windy but she had a blast!

She got so tuckered out...
We had to go home and take a break for a little while!!

Poncho

Isn't this hand made poncho totally adorable!?!?!?!


Made with 100% love and affection!

I almost forgot!

Don't get upset but I forgot to tell everyone that Cadence started crawling about 3 weeks ago. We knew it was getting close as she was crawling all over Jon or I if she was sitting on the couch with us. We were absolutely thrilled when she started crawling on the floor!
She is so cute! When there is something in her way, she will pick it up and throw it behind her. She is very determined!! Most times she'll get tired of crawling and reach behind her (as Jon or I are right there following her every move) looking for our hands. Once she locates them, she pulls herself up and starts to walk. She is not at all coordinated yet to walk on her own but practice makes perfect!
I have a video that I will post in a few days. Jon has to put it on the computer first. Until then, here are some pics!
Rylee has been like a little mother hen since Cadence spends most of her time on the floor--whether it be crawling around or playing with her toys. Rylee is usually right there next to her rubbing on Cadence's arms. It's not what we expected from Rylee at all since she can be very 'moody' sometimes. She doesn't have her mean mood swings around Cadence which is great!


Visitor

Here are some pics from my mom's visit so far. We've had a pretty packed week but it sure has been fun. It's so wonderful when family comes out to visit. They get to spend one on one time with Cadence. It's so special for the visitor(s), Cadence and us. We love every second of it! Can't wait for the next visitors.

Memere Comes!

We can't wait until our first visitor of 2008 arrives! My mom is coming out on April 25th...only 11 days away! I can't wait to show her the 100 mile garage sale! Every year there's a garage sale that starts in Red Wing (people just set up shop on their own property) and runs all the way down the river, over the bridge to Wisconsin and back up the river. When all is said and done, there is about 100 miles of people having garage sales. I can't wait to see what kind of deals we'll find!
