Cade's Birthday!

OK...so these were taken at the beginning of April, I just got around to putting them on here! Cade turned 11 - only one more year until he gets out of Primary!!! Cade got a new bat ($240 - can I hear a "cha-ching!"), and two new games from California & Texas Grandmas (& Grandpas), and a couple of nice presents, but Austin and I had the best time buying him "funny" presents from the dollar store. He got a knight figurine, a plastic bowling set, and oh yes...a fake barbie! LOL. Cade didn't appreciate those gifts so much! Oh, and also a deodorant! And of course...the traditional "Garrick" face plant in the cake!

Easter

So much for my every day thing...I just can't keep up with it! So...I'm going to shoot for once a week! This is Easter at the Cassell's house in Marble Falls. We had a nice Easter, although Saturday was freezing & actually snowed! Well, it snowed in Dallas - in Marble Falls it pretty much just sleeted. Anyways, it wasn't the "usual" Easter at the Lake. Last year we were on the Sea-doo. This year, we were all bundled up inside! The Easter bunny had to hide all the eggs in the house this year. Don't my children look SOOOOOOO happy on Easter morning??? Blake had found Cade's basket & told him where it was when Cade got up, which started a full-out war & Cade was TICKED, which made Blake get all drama & feel bad...hence, the overwhelming smiles on Easter morning. The only one that was more than happy to smile for the camera was my father-in-law. He just wanted his picture taken! Too bad he doesn't live closer...I'm always looking for willing subjects to practice on!!!

Day 27

Cade is going to KILL me for this...don't tell him!!! He thought I was just "testing" my lights, so he was being his usual goofy self (unless other people are around) - and I caught him! Hee hee hee.

Day 23

SPRING HAS SPRUNG IN FLOWER MOUND!

I was feeling a little giddy with all the beautiful spring flowers starting to bloom. My beautiful little cherry tree (like the ones in D.C.) was in full bloom today - so I had to just *capture* some beautiful spring blooms!

Day 18

Sick of Lainey pictures yet???? Too bad...here's some more!

Day 17

Sad day today, had to say goodbye to mom, Tracy (Alex) & Lainey. I love it so much when people come, but just hated to see them leave. Anyways, some last-minute pics of the kid...such a sweet baby! She's freakin' adorable! The one with her playing with her feet has got to me my fav! Damn, she's cute!

Day 16

With everyone here, we haven't paused long enough to take a ton of pics, but here are some adorable ones from this afternoon!

Day 12

Anyone surprised to see more pictures of Lainey???? Here's some more!! Care to guess who my model for the whole week is going to be??? Isn't she stinkin' cute??? Loving this baby!!!

Day 11

It's been a busy couple of days - with Grandma, Grandpa, Tracy & Lainey here...not much time to post! Cade had a tournament this weekend, and WON the championship!!! GO TWISTERS!!! We had to play 4 games today (Sunday) & we pulled it out in the 6th inning for the win. Cade was SO happy - as were the rest of us! Everyone missed the last game - because we took Grandpa back to the airport. :(

Here's a couple pics of Cade with his new "hardware" and Grandpa with Lainey!

Day8

Not much time today (or yesterday, obviously!) - so I just grabbed a couple quick ones of Blake. He's my biggest ham - always willing to step in front of the camera!!!
