Cade turns 12!

12 years ago Cade was born in Moscow, ID. My OBGYN wanted me to stay in the hospital and deliver Cade on Halloween. I wanted him to have his own birthday so I left the hospital and came back the next day.

My baby boy Cade is 12!

Cade has always been a happy, easy going boy. He was a big fan of the Jazz...

and the cowboys....

We celebrated Cade's birthday Saturday and I forgot my camera for the whole day. Cade took a buddy to the NazzKart indoor arena. They raced and rocked climbed all afternoon. We then headed to Gerdies for pizza. He really liked the desert pizza and could skip the rest. In fact, on Sunday we made homeade desert pizza - marshmellow/blackberry. It was tasty!

It was a big weekend for us. Cade was ordained a deacon and received the priesthood. He had his bishop's interview last week and was challenged to read the BOM every day. The deacon's quorm presidency came to visit and told him to read a story out of the New Era every day. He has such a good heart and tries so hard to be obedient. He has been reading up a storm even though that is not his favorite thing to do. He said, "I had no idea you would have to read so much once you became a young man." He is such a sweet brother to his sisters. Every time Cade walks in the door, Valerie is the usually the first to run to him yelling, "brother!" We love you Cade and are glad you are part of our family.
