Carrot Catastrophe

Well once again we were busy as could be this weekend!  Some day it will slow down, right??

We took Cash to watch daddy's Kohawks take on the Hawkeye's at the Iowa Duals.  There was so much going on he didn't know where to look first, I guess he did pay a lot of attention to the pretty ladies behind us.  We may have a future flirt on our hands.  I'm pretty sure he loved every minute of it, to dad's liking of course! Unfortunately the Kohawk's didn't fair so well, but we're still looking forward to watching them both this season.


Cash man has been eating baby food for a solid month now, some days are better then other's but we're getting there.  I usually ask Nick before dinner time if he wants to feed lil' man his food, his response always is "Nope".  Well I'm pretty sure I found out the reason why I always get a no this weekend.

I think it takes a skilled and patient person to feed a baby and I think my skills and patience went out the window during lunch on Sunday.  I sat Cash down in his Bumbo, locked on the trey, put on his bib and we were ready to go...so I thought! I think I ate more carrots then Cash did. You see, he likes to spit and spit he did. Everywhere was spit, his bib and I looked like we'd just gone to a splatter paint lesson.

At one point, to even get him to eat, I'd have to leave a little trail of food on the trey to keep him occupied so I could sneak a bite in his mouth.  After about a half hour we finally made it through the small jar of carrots.  I don't think I want to see carrots ever again and for his bib, it's in the garbage...there is no way those carrots are coming out of that!

Here's a little proof of some of our recent disasters :)




Sunday we had our first of many family Thanksgiving's. To the Riverside Casino we went to visit the Kleopfer's.  It's always so great to see everyone and Cash did fabulous!  Pretty sure he wore everybody out, even though it should have been the other way around.

Have a good week everyone and  Happy Thanksgiving!!

We're Gonna Give It A Go!

So a friend of mine here at work convinced me into doing a blog.  That was months ago and I'm finally finding some free time to try it out.

We've been very busy at our house.  Cash is 7 Month's old now and could not be more entertaining!! His second tooth just broke through, he's sitting up like a "Big Boy" and he's maneuvering around the living room like he's been doing it for year's.  I'm guessing that baby proofing will be the next thing on the agenda.

Nick is still trying to shoot down the "Big One" and fell out of his tree stand last week trying.  Good thing is it was from only about 10 feet, so he's just fine.  Wrestling also started so he's been trying to get into the room as much as he can.  We're looking forward to cheering on the Hawks and Kohawks this winter!!

I'm, well, I'm not up to much.  Cash takes up so much of my free time, but it's so worth it.  I've been trying to get things organized at the new house and am ready to gear up for the holiday season.  Black Friday...you better watch out!!

Here are a few new pics of Cash to keep you entertained until next time, most are from Halloween because I have yet to download any new ones from my camera.  Enjoy!!
