Caden turns 7!

Our sweet Caden is 7!!  We celebrated with friends a few weeks early this year so his buddy Douglas could join before their move.


We had a movie/bowling party this year.

 
Caden, Andrew, and his two best buddies (Nathan and Douglas) went to movie together, came by for cake and ice cream, and then it was off to Bowlmore lanes.  I'm now a huge fan of small parties!

 Happy boy, happy day.

 Present time.

A picture for his desk.



A few days later the celebration continued - this crew was off to Redskins training camp with their cousins!


And then came the family party.


It isn't a party until Monie arrives!

Will was very excited.

OC Cousins!

 Such a FUN surprise - Jennifer, Hector, and Natalia joined us all the way from Mexico City!!


Present time = excited boy.


The day was beautiful - we sat out front and played yard games for a long time.

And ended with watching the Mexican national football (soccer) team play.

We flew to Seattle on Caden's actual birthday, and got to continue the celebration there (pics of that to come soon!).  Caden was wished a happy birthday by both the flight crew and pilot over the intercom :). Very fun.

Caden, we love you so much buddy.  You have grown up so much this year!!  Learning to read, swim, ride a bike, and your heart for others and tenderness toward the Lord continue to be such a blessing to us.  You are such a special boy, and I could't be more thankful to be your mom.  Praying that you continue to grow in your knowledge and understanding of how much you are loved, how much your savior has done for you, and that in this year of transition you would come to trust him even more fully.  What a gift it is to be your mom :).
