Caden's friends

I have SO many blog ideas going through my mind, like our time with Mike's sister Maria (in March), Easter, Earth Day, etc. Well, instead of playing catch-up and trying to blog in chronological order, I am starting FRESH hoping that I can just add in those other posts as time permits.

Anyway, what I really want to write about today is my sweet, precious Caden. He is such a big boy these days (not with potty-training yet) and just a joy to be around. He loves, loves, loves his big brothers and always wants me to "hold you" (for me to hold him) especially after nap times and bath times.

Well, on Saturday, I was wrapped up in a blanket sitting on the couch because I was very feverish.

Little man walked up to me and said, "Mommy, I want to go outside and play with my friends."

A little confused because it's not like I just let my 2-year-old (or actually any of my kids) go wander the streets with the neighborhood kids, I said, "What friends?"

In the sweetest voice ever he replied, "Nate and Kyle and Ian."

Oh my goodness!!! How sweet is that!! They were all outside helping Mike wash the cars in the 50 mph wind!!

My "brainwashing" is WORKING!! I tell my boys often that they are BEST FRIENDS!! Well, I think my 2-year-old gets it!!



Oh, and I am totally aware that he needs a haircut! That's in NEXT month's budget!!

OH THE SWEETNESS OF BROTHERS/FRIENDS!
MATT AND ZACK ARE STILL THE BEST OF FRIENDS. I KNOW IT IS BECAUSE THEY GREW UP TOGETHER, NOT APART. I AM SO GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR SHOWING MY MOTHERS HEART THE TRUE VALUE OF RAISING OUR CHILDREN TOGETHER!!!

YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB FRIEND.
