Cadens 2nd Birthday!

On July 13th Caden had his 2nd birthday. For the life of me I cant figure how to put the pictures in order.. so these are in random order, but some fun memories from his birthday.

Opening presents with dad

With his cake... He didnt care about the cake he was just fasinated with the tractors on it.

With his blue no 2 pancake for breakfast.

He was lucky enough to have 2 parties... This is at Grandma Snyders.

On his birthday we moved him into a toddler bed, well, this is the next day after I put him down for a nap, I didnt hear him for a while so I went to peek on him and this is what I found. And no, he does not have a diaper on. We have gone thru quit the stage lately... everytime he needed to poop he would take his diaper off and go all over the ground then usually walk around in in. I dont even dare guess how many times I've shampooed my carpet. Before this picture he already came out of his room with his diaper off and poop all over his hads, feet, and floor and door knob, so I cleaned that up and put him back down for a nap and found this. Luckily, he hadnt pooped, just decided to take his diaper off then finally fell asleep. Dave used to tell me "just duct tape his diaper on" and I would laugh, saying no, I am not taping his diaper on.... Well I do now. I should have started this weeks ago and it would have saved me a LOT of headaches!! so, now his diapers are duct taped on and we havent had a mess in like 2 weeks!! YEA!!

This is his first night in his big boy bed... Dad is a softy and layed down with him and was out cols! Im not sure who likes it more :)

The next morning for breakfast he had to have all his new toys gathered around him while he ate

Our little "Home Slice" Dave calls him :)

Look at all those new trucks and tractors... He is in HEAVEN!!!!!!

Caden is the one in our family who keeps us going. He is always on the move and usually getting in trouble! Whenever its quiet and not pestering his sisters its usually a guarantee hes causing some kind of trouble. I have him to thank for the yellow food coloring carpet in the front room, the many toothpaste stains on many rondom places on the carpet, the bottles and bottles of carpet shampoo and so much more. But, we LOVE this kid and the joy he brings to our lives! He does have a very sweet side where he loves to hug and kiss you. Sometimes I think he hurts his sisters just so he can give them hugs and kisses better. He is obsessed with tractors. Whenever he is cranky or causing trouble I just find a good long you tube video of tractors- )A combine cutting grain is his favorite- and he makes sure you know its a combine.. not a tractor) and he will just sit and watch it- totally mesmorized! He has a CAT machine movie that is the only thing he will watch on the tv. When driving he will pick out every tractor along the way and make sure you see it too and repeat it back to him or "tractor, tractor, tractor" never ends :) He goes to bed great and wakes up happy!! He is his daddys little buddy and would spend every minute with him if he could. We Love him so much and are glad hes in our family!! Happy birthday buddy!!!
