Daddy's New Truck

Well, we finally did it - we got a bigger vehicle. We knew after the first trip to PA that the Vibe is not a long term solution to Matt+Lisa+Caden+Jackson+Java+Luggage+Baby Things+Dog supplies....so, here are the pictures of Dad's new ride! It's a 2009 Black Ford F150 Crew Cab...



The boys and the man truck....


This is a picture of Caden's last ride in the Sable....it was a great car for us!!


And this is a picture of Caden's first ride in the truck....(Mommy got a little excited about picture taking this weekend)


Our friends Stacie and Taylor checked out the backseat...

Caden's First Camping Trip and a Pens Championship

This past weekend we went on an awesome camping trip at Fisherman's Island Near Charlevoix! We had so much fun camping with our friends and their kids - soon enough Caden will be running around with Jackson and Taylor!

The weekend started off very well by the Pens winning the Stanley Cup on Friday night - which we listened to via Satellite radio from Brian's truck. Caden sure picked a good year to join the world - he was welcomed by a Steelers Superbowl and a Pens Stanley Cup! We are setting high sports expectations for him!

Here's some pictures of our trip. Caden did very well considering being outdoors for two days! :-) No bug bites, no sunburns, and no major freak outs!

This picture was taken right before his bedtime - you can tell he is sleepy and ready for bed in his Steelers jammies!


Matt throwing Caden up in the air...he comes down with a shocked look on his face and then he breaks out into a big smile. :-)



Daddy and Caden sitting in the tent.....



Evidently the dogs were much more interested in the water than taking a family picture...

This doesn't have much to do with camping....but we took a pretty funny video of Caden in his jumparoo when we got home on Sunday. He's actually laughing now...which you can hear in the video.

2nd Trip to PA - Baptism Weekend!

This past weekend was another trip to PA! We had our cousin Bethany's wedding on Saturday and Caden's Baptism on Sunday! After the baptism, we went over to Grandma Callender's and had a party with family so everyone could see Caden!

Caden did really well during the baptism. He didn't cry, smiled a lot - but he did spit up on Pastor Alyce! Oh well!!


We took a lot of pictures at the Church after the service. This is the same church Matt and I were married in...and I think more pictures were taken at Caden's baptism than were taken at our wedding!! :-)



Here's some pictures from the party afterwards. Pat and Maggie surprised us and come up from Florida to go to the Baptism! Maggie was the flowergirl in our wedding 5 years ago!







Generations.....Matt with Caden, Grandpa Windows and Uncle Thomas.
