We went to Joshua Tree National Park yesterday August 2nd. The view from Keys View Point was so amazing on a clear day you can see all the way to Mexico

Cade's grandma Dearing and 2 cousins came to visit us for a couple of days it was good to spend time with family. The girls just loved to play with Cade

I now have proof that cade is a real turtle. I left him in the living room to go grab a snack, when I came back he had rolled over to his turtle floater and got under the shell of it!

A DAY AT THE BEACH

We went to Newport Beach on Saturday the 19th with our friends the Garcia's. It was a cold day and the freezing ocean water didn't feel too good, so Corey and Marcus (he is in the same unit as Corey) decided to build a sandcastle. While me and Jen ( Marcus's girlfriend) and his little brother alex decided to give the water a try, it was cold at first but once we got used to it, we had alot of fun splashing, swimming, and tasting the salt water, well not too much of that last one. However the water was too cold for Cade so Marcus's other brother Chris were beach bums, but Cade did a face plant into the sand and it was everywhere! Up his nose, in his ears, even in his belly button! He was such a trooper. When it got dark we decided to have a bonfire right on the beach and make smores. It was such a fun day!

Our 1st Family Portraits

Last April we went to Utah to visit our families. While we were there we had our first family portraits taken. Cade was such a flirt. He smiled and laughed and made everyone want to take him home. I love the pics, but I wish the so called "expert" had told me to fix my hair. I'll know next time to take someone with me to watch out for my bangs.
