Cade's first day as a First Grader. I can't believe it. They really do grow up fast. I think Cade is telling Kelson he needs to grow before he can go to school. He was pretty sad his buddy was leaving him for the day. He was quite bored all morning.
Analise just chillen' at the Hoppers game.
Analise's latest knitted dress. I was glad to finally get this finished. I started last spring but couldn't ever get the skirt to look right. I took it to Idaho with me to have Erin fix it. I knew she wouldn't let me down. It turned out so cute. It needs a onsie under it of course. We were just taking a picture for Erin.
Blowing out the candles. Looks like Mater and McQueen are bring surrounded by torches or something.
Just to show Grandma and Papa C opening his presents from them.
Grandma and Papa C. must know how much Cade loves puzzles! It's a big boy puzzle though.... 200 pieces. This will definately not be one that he dumps out on the living room floor and puts together in 5 minutes.
SQUISH.... Cade isn't a hugger... but he was forced to give them after opening his presents. He was willing but doesn't look like he was enjoying them.
Tio bought Cade a Chicken Little PS2 game. 
Cade's Party Cake. Spoiled kid got two cakes this year.
Josh Ward gave Cade a nice baseball helmet. Kelson put it on and looks like Chicken Little. 
Bank of America Stadium... Charlotte skyline
Cheeto's Car. It was funny because we got home that night and Kristi and Kristopher Malcolm (babysitters) had given the boys an "Interstate Batteries" matchbox car. 
Grandma and Papa had treat for FHE. Can you guess where we went?
Just a silly picture of Kelson eating his ice cream at Ham's.
Kelson fell asleep next to Analise. Cade and I moved his arm to go around her. She thought it was pretty funny... she just kept giggling!
Cade played little league golf this summer. His team took runner-up.

Cake #2- the family bday party
Analise trying on Cade's helmet.

Analise trying on Cade's helmet. She might need it one of these days trying to play with her big brothers.

Josh Ward gave Cade a nice baseball helmet. Kelson put it on and looks like Chicken Little. The helmet is as wide as he is. Pretty funny!
I had used sidewalk chalk and decorated the driveway. I drew a rode from the street up the driveway welcoming the kids. At the end of the driveway I drew racing lanes and a checkered flag. We used the McDonalds "CARS" cars to race. We had 7 different cars and just traded cars each race to see which car could win the most races. THE BOYS LOVED THIS GAME!!!!!
Cade wanted a "CARS" birthday party. I had cut down big boxes and we had a
"Ramones" house of body paint shop, where the kids colored and decorated the boxes. We then had a relay race and used tires and had "Luigi" tire change. It was pretty fun. The boys seemed to like it. It was just pretty hot!
After the game...
Panthers vs. Bills game

After the game... Panthers vs. Bills gameya like Analise's Panthers dress. I made it for her before she was even born.
Still a bit big... but lots of people commented on it. It's better than a cheerleader dress!

Cheeto's Car. It was funny because we got home that night and Kristi and Kristopher Malcolm (babysitters) had given the boys an "Interstate Batteries" matchbox car. Kelson thinks that is daddy's car now.
Haley's car
Haley challenged Cheeto to a race. So Marcos says anyway... There is a place called Silicon Speedway at Concord Mills that has simulated Nascar race track. You get in these cars and there are screens in front of each car. The cars tip and rock/vibrate when you wreck or hit the wall. Marco actually flipped his car... he started yelling and laughing... I had Analise so I just sat on some bleachers and watched them all drive. When Marcos wrecked all of the others just watching started laughing and then all congregated to watch him. Perhaps hoping for another wreck! ;)
This is when she finally went to sleep. What's up with the positions my kids fall asleep.

OK... I know this is a really blurry picture. But try to see how Analise is scowling at me.

Just look at that face!
