Happy Birthday Caden!

Caden is now the big 6! He had a family birthday party with his Tennessee family in early January, then about a week after that, we took him and three friends to a Monster Truck show and they spent the night. It was a lot of loud, red-neck fun! He wanted doughnuts instead of cake that night so that's what he had. On the night before his actual birthday, we took him out to eat at Wasabi's Japanese restaraunt where they cook in front of you (it's one of his favorites). He ended up getting a stomach virus on his birthday, so we kept him out of school that day. He went back to school on 1/31 so I took treats and party bags to his class and they sang to him and had a little celebration. He maximized his birthday to say the least! Thank you to everyone who gave him so many nice presents! His next big idea is to save up enough money to buy a bubble gum machine to place in a business to earn money for a dog. I guess every boy needs a dog. We told him he'll have to help with the cost of a fence also, so he is conjuring up all kinds of ways to earn money. I'm glad to see that he's willing to work for something he really wants though. If I can just stay sane in the process! He is a determined boy!

Boston's Cardiology check-up

Boston just went for his annual cardiology check-up this week and everything looks great. His EKG had the same reading as it did last year, which is excellent. That means that his heart is functioning just as well even though he has grown significantly. He will have another check-up next January where they will do an echocardiogram and if everything still looks good then, they will space his appointments out further. Needless to say, we are thrilled!

Tough guy

We get together every Sunday with our Tennessee family and Caden and Joel (his cousin) have made it tradition to have a wrestling match on a foam pad. Since they are the same age and about the same size, they can handle each other pretty well. Boys will be boys!

Caden really enjoyed iceskating at an outdoor rink in December. He went a couple of times and did great right from the start! The mascot from the local ice hockey team and a couple of players were there skating with him one night and he even got the mascot's autograph. He was thrilled with that!

What a good guy!

A friend of our recently posted a blog that I think is worth reading. OK, so maybe I am bragging a little by asking you to read it, because it mentions Chris, but I guess it's alright to be proud of my husband. I already knew he was a good man, but it's neat to see others recognize it. So here it is... http://thecrayonyears.blogspot.com/search/label/Chris%20Yeager

We're Having a Baby!

As most of you already know...we will be adding one more to our family in early July. We are all very excited!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We hope this Holiday Season finds all of our friends and family healthy and happy! We sure have been blessed this year. I have absolutely loved being a full time mommy this year and I adore Chris and our two boys. I feel so blessed to have a husband who is willing to do whatever it takes to support us and allow me to follow my dreams, whatever direction they take! I have been able to be involved in Caden's school and also have plenty of time to play with and teach Boston. He is quite a stinker and definantly not as sweet and submissive as Caden, but he sure is cute! It's fun seeing their different personalities develop and watching them interact. Boston just idolizes Caden and Caden is such a good brother to teach, play with, and reward Boston. Yes, we are blessed beyond measure!
