Boys' Camping Trip

Chris and Phillip Martin took the boys (all the boys - Nick, Harris, & Benjamin) camping for the first time.  Unfortunately, Chris gave the camera to Harris who is FOUR and a crappy photographer so the pictures are limited.  I have a few good ones.  Harrison did awesome for his first time.

 Beautiful view from the mountain top

Cara and I had a blast while they were gone.  Can't wait till they go again!

Harrison's B-day Celebration

We went to Jason's Deli (Harris's choice) to celebrate his turning FOUR!!!  As always, there were smiles and tears as well as some cake smashing.  Here are the highlights!

Happy Birthday Dear Harrison!

 Harris refused to blow out his candle, so Cara did it for him.

 FIRE!

 All smiles from Nick - notice his tongue sticking through his TWO missing teeth.

 Wink, Wink

 Here are the smiles...

 Now the tears...

This was about the time we decided to call it a night!

Happy Birthday to my sweet, sweet Harrison!

Harris Turns FOUR!!!

On September 19, 2007, Harrison Elijah Cadwallader entered the world 5 days early weighing 9.0 lbs and 21 1/4 inches long. He was the sweetest little boy and still is. 

On the way to the hospital to be induced.

Double Birthday Bash

We celebrated Nick's 6th and Harrison's 4th birthdays this past weekend by the pool.  The weather was perfect!  My girlfriends and I were talking about how nice it is to have our children at an age where they can play and we can just sit, watch, and chat.  It's been a long, very long time coming.  Here are some of my favorite pictures!

Here's Carrie 21 weeks pregnant with Harper Annabeth the weekend before at our pre-party!

 You'd think the birthday boys would look happier.  Nick has the scowl perfected though.

 The princess is cheesing though!

 Amanda caught herself a Harrison

 Yummy cupcakes - thanks Paul!

 Hannah Grace and AJ

 Cara and Mary Grace excused themselves for some girl time.

 Harris thought it was so funny to get Big Mama wet!

 So many kids in the hot tub.

 Cara had some snuggle time with her Uncle Paul.

 This is my FAVORITE picture of the boys.  They're both so excited to celebrate!

My niece Macyn LOVED the cupcakes.  She used her coin to scrape the icing off.

 Cheese!

Chris just couldn't be nice to his sister, Jan, but I snapped a picture anyway.

Happy, happy birthday to my wonderful boys!!!!

New Beds

For Nick's birthday, we bought him some big boy furniture which included twin on full bunk beds.  He loves being a big kid.  Since we were making changes, we decided to go ahead and convert Cara's toddler bed to a double bed.  Now we have 3 BIG KIDS in the house.  Have I mentioned that Cara stopped wearing diapers on Aug. 3?  We are officially out of diapers too!
