I really suck at this

On his birthday we went to McDonalds to play on the slide. They both like that. Then we had to go home and play with all the new toys. Mommy emptied out the toy box so we had room for all the new stuff. By the time Christmas comes around, it'll be time to do it again.

Present time! He got pj's and toys and some cloths too. Can never have too many of those.

Big sister had to blow out the candle. He wasn't quite sure what to think of sticking his hand in it. Mommy had to push it in. Then it was okay.

Here are some of his guests. They range from Aunts and Uncles to Grandmas and Grandpas and cousins. We had about 35 show up so not too bad.

Birthday time! Caden turned 1 on October 1st. We had a ball theme party for him since he loves them. Mommy made the cakes and had alot of fun doing them. Everyone says he looks just like his cousin Dawson, so I had to get a shot of them together.

Caden was a mess. He had an ice cream bar and had it all over. There are several times when we have to strip him down at the table and head right to the tub. He started walking at 10 1/2 months. It's been non stop ever since. He loves playing outside with Scarlet. And Morgan, well she's just silly.

Sorry- I'm alittle behind! Here is Morgan playing the violin. She doesn't really play but her friend had one so she thought she would try.

This picture has nothing to do with Easter like the rest do, but it was such a cute one I couldn't resist it. The sad thing is, is that dad didn't even dress them in that camo. Here's Great Grandma Schultz and her sister Aunt Dallace. They have so much fun watching all the kids. Caden sat in the middle for quite a while. He was flirting a little bit.

Grandma Gee and Caden.

Here's Kylie, Morgan, & Lexi. The two little ones are only four days apart so that's fun. They had so much fun finding the eggs that we did it again.

The hunt is on! Everyone got involved, it was pretty fun. Cory's cousins went out and hid the eggs. I bet we had around 100. They hid them in the raingutters, trees, BBQ, everywhere. There were three little girls trying to find them all, (Morgan, Kylie, & Lexi) It was a beautiful day so we could spend most of the day outside. Caden even found one. Word to the wise, don't put chocolate in plastic eggs when the sun is shining! Oh well, it still tastes the same.

Morgan is so cute. Whenever I have them together I try to take their picture, so the other day she wanted to hold him. I put him in her lap, and she goes, "Picture mommy" I laughed!

What a handsome fella. (He's now 7 months old)

What a pretty little girl.

The Fowler kids wanted to dye eggs with Morgan and hide them. She did pretty well since she was sick. Grandma Della had bunny cakes for everyone to decorate too, but Dawson was nice enough to do Morgan's for her.

Easter at the Craver house. We decided to have it at our house since Linda still isn't up to par yet. Morgan was sick and cranky, which meant that she hadn't been sleeping very well. I think I got a total of two hours of sleep the night before and four hours the night before that. So needless to say we were not the life of the party. It was still fun and it's always good to get the family together. Here's Morgan's first attempt at dying eggs. She didn't do too bad either. It was fun since we are learning colors now, she could tell us which color she wanted.

This is Caden on his 6 month birthday. We went to the doctor and he weighs in at 16 lb 10 oz. He's still in the 25%. Everyone says he looks huge, but I just tell them that their kids were small. He has been on solid foods for a little over a month. I did that to get him to sleep better at night, but it didn't work worth a darn. I am still nursing, but not sure for how much longer. He bit me the other day, talk about painful for about 5 minutes. OUCH!!

Hello big boy! Look he has two teeth now. How cute!!

Cory got Morgan started on puzzles. She can do a 25 piece one in less than 5 min. Just like her dad. He can do a 1000 in just a couple hours. I don't have enough time or patience to do that.

What a good big sister. She loves him so much.

Here is Caden in his "big boy bed". The most he has slept is 4 nights in a row, otherwise he's up around 3:00 which really sucks since I get up at 4:30 to get ready for work. Oh well, I just suck on my coffee all morning. It's decaf since I'm still nursing, but it still wakes me up. I think it's all in your head anyway!!

We are working on Caden sitting up, but he needs lots of props. Morgan loves playing with him. She is always kissing him and giving him hugs.

Here is Morgan in her "big girl bed" with her favorite princess "ella" Cinderella. She was so excited when we were setting it up, and then she screamed like crazy when it was actually bed time. It's been a week and she loves going to bed now. It helps I think because we put Caden in there with her, so she has to be quiet. I love it!!

I forgot to put these in. We all went horn hunting as a family. Caden and I found one, but Cory and Morgan didn't find any. It was a great day:)

My mom, Cory and I took the kids up to Chico. It was Morgan's first time and obviously Caden's too. It took her about 20 min. to get used to it, but he did great. Morgan's friend Arena went too. It was about 10 degrees outside, but you wouldn't have thought that after being in the pool. I want to try to get her into swimming lessons this summer if I can find a time that works.
