Happy Birthday Cade!

This past weekend we celebrated Cade's 5th birthday!  Cade is my best friend's little boy and he and Cohen have been friends since they were very little.  We were very excited about his party.  Each year we look forward to Cade's slip-n-slide party!  I can't believe he is now 5 years old and will be headed off to school this fall.   His birthday party was a spiderman theme and you could tell from his birthday gifts that everyone was more than happy to give him spiderman toys!  He was so excited opening each one.  I had fun taking pictures of him :)  Cohen had so much fun playing in the water.  She and Kaylyn, Cade's cousin, are going to be in school together this year and they have become quick friends the 2 times they have been around each other this summer.  That continued at the party where they would climb the slip-n-slide and say they were climbing up the "castle".  Kate enjoyed the party too, especially the cupcakes!  She would take a bite, walk off, but not get far before she had turned around and was headed back for another bite.  She had icing everywhere, it was even in her nose!

Another thing Kate really liked at the party was Cade's little brother Nolan!  We had just had a play date with both boys but this reaction was priceless!  Nolan had not been up from a nap very long and Kate saw him and just went crazy.  She would laugh and reach for him and love on him.  With each grab and hug she got more and more aggressive and wanted to love on him that much more.  Poor Nolan was a great sport with her but I'm pretty sure he was probably thinking, "get this girl off of me!".

Big Kiss!

Going after him again!

After the presents, the kids had fun with silly string, then it was back to more water play.

Kate on the other hand decided she would play with...a toy gun,

Cade's new bike...

 and a baseball bat and ball!  I have a little tom boy on my hands right now :)

It was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect for an outside party.  The rain held off and it felt wonderful.  Happy birthday Cade!

When we got home that night, Kelly and Cohen decided to cut the first cantaloupe from our garden.  I know they had been waiting on this for a while :)
