Uh oh, Eden is on the move!

Eden has been doing the army crawl now for about a week or two.  She finally has figured out it's much easier to pick up her hands and to stay up on her knees, rather than dragging her lower body.  Boy, are we in trouble.  The gates are up, but are we really ready for this???

Pool Party!

Yes, that is a mohawk.  
Things got a little hairy at the end of the first pool party of the summer.

We celebrated Brayden's third birthday and Peyton's 8th birthday this weekend.
Myers and Aniken were there to help celebrate...
Of course Amy, Brayden's mom was there...
Nana and Megan...

Uncle Cronin, who also just celebrated a birthday...
Kenzie came with Aunt Joy...
Brayden's big sister, Ashton was there...
Brayden and Peyton got a lot of really nice gifts from everyone.

Everyone had a good time in the pool, including Eden.  
Eden really enjoyed her new raft.



These pictures are some of the last ones I took on Mother's day weekend.  
Grandpa and Eden were playing right up until we got into the car.

Happy Mother's Day!

We had a fabulous Mother's Day weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Budde.  The weather was spectacular and a fun time was had by all.  
We got the chance to meet Grandma's new doggie, Gabby.  She is the female version of Prince...very shy.
It was great to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa after a very long and difficult spring, for everyone.  Grandma fixed us a fabulous dinner on Saturday night and Daddy fixed everyone a wonderful brunch on Mother's Day.
The animals all got to eat the leftovers...they were like circling sharks!! Even the cat was eating the leftover steak!!
But, I guess that is how Fat Cat got his name.
Although he is a lot slimmer than he used to be...

Eden got to see Foxy again...

It wasn't all fun and games though....we worked on many things, such as....warming up to Grandpa....

We worked continuously on being clean....


We worked on relaxing under the shade of a big tree while the warm winds blew...
On trying to beat Mommy to the grass, so I can stuff it into my mouth...

We worked on crawling a lot....
Daddy worked especially hard, he worked in the garden with Grandma, planting grape vines...
Prince supervised the work from the shade of the garden shed...


Daddy also worked hard in the fields, mowing the grass for Grandpa...



It was a wonderful weekend, I love you Grandma and Grandpa!!!
