I really have been wanting to blog more. But this old laptop drives me crazy. And it seems like Blogger is always giving me problems. I'm going to give it another go this Sunday night. To make things easier on me, I'm only going to record our happenings the last week or so.

Here is sweet Caden today. He's 16.5 months. He's a little jokester. Whenever I ask him to come, he runs and hides. Sometimes it's behind his rocking chair, under the table, around a corner, anywhere. Then when I go to get him, he says, "Bahh!" (Boo) and giggles, giggles, giggles. He thinks he's hilarious! 

He loves singing songs, playing with Carson. Gives the cutest kisses. Really started liking stuffed animals. He is such a smiley little guy most of the time. A couple weeks ago I noticed some teeth coming in. A few days later, I noticed different ones coming in. Right now he has the top 4 in and the bottom 2 of course. But every single one of his other teeth are coming in right now. Even molars. The kid hasn't been his normal happy self lately. But he is still super sweet. Loves to play.

We got a new Dyson a couple weeks ago. ( it was 50% off) And I love it! I vacuumed 2 rooms and the whole dirt bucket was full! I use it to vacuum the tile too. I hate sweeping but don't mind vacuuming. The kids really like playing with it too. 

Our Chick-fil-A is having free frosted lemonades all of June in the afternoons. We went twice this week! 

Cory's 29th birthday was a couple weeks ago. Carson insisted on getting him a Superman shirt just like his so they could be matching. So, that's what Cory got. 

To celebrate, Cory's boss, Dr. Heid, took us out to Arrowhead Grill for the best steaks in our lives. They really were the best steaks. All yummy food! It was so nice of them.

Carson was sick for over a week. He is finally better. He experienced his first earache. I'm so glad I had Doterra oils to help him. He is a lot more pleasant than he used to be 6 months ago. He listens more and is happier. He talks a lot! He says some really cute things. Right now he is all about bulldozers and excavators and backhoes. He really wants one. Of each. His favorite stuffed animal right now is his blue lizard. 

We signed up for the Summer reading program and both boys have been loving reading time. Carson's favorite book from the library this week is Pete the Cat and his four groovy buttons. We read this all the time! He played with is favorite friend Aven this week in the Greenway. They love playing! Carson treats her like his girlfriend. They are adorable.

I have lots of crafts I want to do. I need to paint the big mirror in the kitchen. I want to make a cute magazine holder. And I want to make a moisturizer with essential oil and coconut oil. Hopefully I can get 1 of those things done this week. Also, I still love having 2 cars. I try to find somewhere to go everyday just because we can. I'll drive to Peoria to go to a new park, or Target, or find errands I "need" to run. I'm getting to the point where I'm ready to settle back down and try to stay home more.

Until next week... Hopefully.
