Caden turns.... NINE!!!


A Passel of boys, fruit salad, chips, and "burn your own hot dog" policy made for a fine party. Kids love the outdoor camping type activities. The weather was perfect!

After eating, the boys enjoyed making 'smores and black marshmallows.

Caden got what every nine year old needs - his own pocket knife! Cade has been wanting one for a couple of years now. He also got a harmonica... perfect for campfire music!

Caden's official birthday was on a Tuesday, and we had the party the previous Friday. He thought he was done getting presents. We surprised him after school and he got to pick out his own kitten - named Dipper....which brings me to the sad and terrible part, that Dipper was not long for this world. Ahh, life's hard lessons!
I am happy to report that Caden was able to pick out another, livelier kitten. I bring "Tommy Tiger" inside every morning to wake Caden up.
Next year Caden will be in fourth grade... Yikes! Is it the knife or my age causing grey hair?
'til next post...

The new Kitty is so so cute. You have to name him a cute name.
