To my amazing husband:

I just want everyone to know how awesome Danny is.  He works so hard so that I am able to stay home with Caydence.  He has been in school FULL TIME - including most summers - for the whole 3 years we have been married.  He also works full time: four 10 hour days a week, and 2 entire days for school.  He works Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sat until 7:30 PM and goes to school ALL DAY Tues and Thurs.  And when he is not at school, he is doing homework.  He is so amazing.  I really appreciate all that he does, even if it means I don't get to see him very much.  He is graduating this semester, and I am so proud of him and all his hard work.  I love you Danny!

My 11 month old has 11 pairs of shoes.....

Don't ask, I don't know how it got this bad.  In fact, I didn't know it was this bad until I decided to line them all up and take this picture.  In my defense, they are 3 different sizes, so it's not like she has 11 all at once!  I think part of the reason I like to buy her shoes is that I can NEVER find shoes to fit me!!  (You try finding shoes in size 11!!)

This is Caydence's favorite spot to play.  We emptied the bottom shelf of our "pantry" when she started crawling and getting into things.  She loves to go in there and hide.

You know you have the best husband in the world if....

On his ONE day off work, and ONE day you have a babysitter he willingly goes to see Confessions of a Shopaholic with you - and tells you he loved it :)

Pay it Forward

I just found this on my friend's blog and as it says, I must continue the post!

Pay it Forward

Pay It Forward Exchange is based on the concept of the movie "Pay it forward". I will send a hand made gift to the first three people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join the PIF exchange. All the gifts will be made and posted out 'sometime within the next year'. How exciting to not know when your surprise package will arrive! What you need to do in return, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog. This Exchange is only open to those with active websites or blogs. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PROMISE TO POST THIS SAME 'PAY IT FORWARD' MESSAGE ONTO YOUR BLOG, WHICH MUST BE ACTIVE IN ORDER TO PLAY. YOU WILL PAY IT FORWARD TO THREE PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG. I'd love for you to join me! Will you? Other comments are welcome, but only the first three will be my Pay It Forward recipients. Come and join me who doesn't love a gift or giving gifts???

I love her!

(Her shirt says "future drummer" and has a drumset on it)

She finally did it!!!!

You can only watch this video if you promise not to judge my child on the fact that she didn't crawl until her 10 month birthday.

Caydence's First Pigtails

Caydence's hair has gotten so long, and her bangs hang in her eyes, but I just don't want to cut them! It is making me crazy, so I tried pigtails. I'm not sure how I feel about them. Tell me what you think.
