Cade's birthday

Cade just celebrated his 2nd birthday. We had a small party with some of my family and cade loved every minute of it. I just had to show everyone the cake i made for cade at his personal request. This sucker took me about 3 hours to make and i'm not a very motivated person so i don't know what drove me to this but cade was happy so i guess that's what matters.

Air show

So every year santa maria has an air show with warthog jets and i can't remember, F18's or something. They also have old planes from world war II fly and helecopters you can go inside and sit in the driver seat(if that's what they call it) anyway it was right up my two boys alley. They had a blast except for when the jet came close and the sonic boom shook you from the inside out. They were a little conserned about that.

Oregon

So i went to oregon for a week to visit my best friend april and her husband sam and their three kids, addie, gwen, and jackson. I have a ton of pics and we did too many things to put them all on this blog page. Here are a few of the things we did, and i don't know if its in order of the pictures either. We went to a couple of waterfalls which were beautiful, and in oregon there is plenty of the most beautiful landscape to see. We went to a small pond and caught salamanders for the kids to play with, well, sam caught salamanders for the kids and april and i sat and watched them, only getting up to go in the canoo and once when a huge dragonfly flew in aprils hair and unfortunately to say i did not come to her rescue, i ran and we both screamed like a couple of girls. I must explain the chicken suit on braden, he was outnumbered by girls and so they dressed him up in his boxer briefs and a chicken suit and they dressed in princess dresses and addie married them in the backyard, our only condition was that there was no kissing. The picture of all the kids basically past out in the car was common after every day's activities. Im going to miss my friend i wish she lived by me still, it was the most fun ive had in a long time!
