Tori and McKenzie were not going to let the cold water leave them on shore.
Morgan wasn't to sure about the whole adventure, especially with seeing her sister get bucked off the tube.
The kids enjoyed the ride much better after we rented a LARGE 4 man tube. 
It was a beautiful, sun shiny day!
We finished off our weekend of fun with Aggie Ice Cream. Can't leave Cache Valley without that yummy flavor in your mouth!
Happy Birthday to Kordale! He loved having everyone sing to him, but wasn't to sure about how to blow out the candle. 
First he tried to pick at the cake to eat it,
then he tried the mouth only approach,
after we cut a slice out of the cake he got a little braver and tried to pick up the cake,
but when it was all done, he still wore it nicely! 
Kordale went from this...
to this in just a few short months! 
Happy Birthday little man! We love you and it's been a great year having you in the family. We look forward to many more milestones with you!!

This past weekend, the day after the official graduation in NYC, we held our own party to celebrate Chad's accomplishments! 
We dressed him up in his graduation attire
It was a great time with friends and family!
We wonder if he will get brave and take those first steps before or after the big day. He can stand on his own and gets wherever he wants either by crawling or walking along the furniture. But don't ask him to go solo, he just sits right down. Guess we should all enjoy it, because as anyone with a walker knows NOTHING is safe once they find their legs!!
