The theme of "Firsts" came to mind as I started working on this blog post as the past few months have held many firsts for our family!
On July 20th our darling Kinley celebrated her first birthday! She makes us smile every day with her happy personality and determined nature! She started walking on her birthday, which then quickly turned to running! She is always on the move and has now mastered climbing up on everything that she can push herself on to. Busy would be an appropriate word to describe her daily routine!
On the day of her birthday we celebrated as a family with cupcakes. This was her first taste of sweets and as you can see from the smile on her face she thought the cupcake was pretty yummy!
Kinsie thought it would be fun to celebrate Kinley and her birthdays together, so we held an ice cream party with our friends in our backyard near Kinley's birthday and then had a family party at our home on Kinsie's birthday. Kinsie wanted a polka dot themed party, so everything was decorated with polka dots! (For some reason the picture of Kinsie's birthday cake did not upload, but it was a circle with polka dots!)
Caden started Kindergarten on August 17th!
He is doing so well with the transition (and mommy is too!).
So far his favorite part about school is art class!
This past Saturday was our first home ISU football game of the season. Although the weather was pretty dreary, we had a great day with friends and family! It was also our nephew Adler's eighth birthday and Brandi arranged for Cy and some of the spirit squad members to visit our tailgate.
