old friends, new friends

Today we had a great opportunity to get together with an old friend, and meet some new friends! My elementary/middle/high school friend (Sara a.k.a. Fire) and her family came to visit us tonight. They live in Texas and were visiting Iowa for a few weeks, and stopped in Montezuma while they were on their way to Cedar Rapids! Kase had lots of fun with their son, Cohen, and was completely in love with their daughter, Carlie. Cohen gave us a good look at what Kase might be like in a year! He had a lot of energy but was SO much fun :) Here's just a brief look at their night filled with fun!

fishy fishy?!

Due to the extreme heat, we took the opportunity to take out Kase's pool for the first time!

He thought it was great when there was no water in it...

But was more interested in drinking rather than swimming
Check out that belly! :)
Naked baby naked baby!!!

As of now, I don't think we're raising a little fishy.
We are, however, raising a little boy with cute buns and a cute belly!

Kase & Callie

I have a new cousin!!! My Uncle Jeff & Auntie Cara welcomed baby Callie Jayne to their family on July 6. She's pretty :) My mommy tried to take some pictures of me with Baby Callie, but I wasn't real interested, but neither was Callie. I'm not smiling in any of these pictures, but at least they got the two of us in the same picture together!

"Nope, not gonna smile Mom"

"Umm, Uncle Jeff, Baby Callie is crying."
"Hey, good job Uncle Jeff! I'll smile now...but I'm not going to look at the camera!"
"BABY!" (One of Kase's favorite words to say)
"Are we about done?"

Babies & their Mommies
"I'm SO over this picture thing"
"OK, one SMALL smile"We had a great time meeting Baby Callie! She's a very sweet little girl, who is loved very well by her Mommy & Daddy. We're very excited to watch Callie grow into a beautiful little girl. We love you Miss Callie Jayne!

It's my birthday, and I'll eat what I want to!

So, I haven't blogged for awhile...sorry!

These are a few weeks late, but here are some pictures from Kase's first birthday party! It was filled with presents, ball cupcakes, and pizza! Mommy even snuck some green beans into his meal, but don't tell :)

"Umm, guys, can someone take this toy out of the box?"

Thank you Uncle Blake & Uncle Payton for my new chair!
Happy birthday sweet boy!!!
