Mickey Mouse

We made a trip to Barnes and Noble and let Kade run around freely (with his Monkey "leash" anyways). So my little consumer PICKED OUT HIS FIRST TOY! He normally doesn't grab anything, and if he does I can normally take it away and place back on the shelf and he doesn't care.
Well he just carefully walked around and reviewed all the merchandise, then decided MICKEY was going home with him. There was no removing the mouse from his iron grip. It was kind of exciting for us as he is now an official big boy, and I might just send him to the grocery store today and take care of that for me-ha!
Here is Kade's new "buddy" and is taking a nap with him as we speak. He has given him several kisses on his big nose, but sad to say normally chomps around on his foot...OWIE.

Shawn & Jackie Visit!

Uncle Shawn and Jackie came down to visit for the day. We had a great time and ran out to the lake, ate at Texas Roadhouse, went to Barnes and Noble, and out for ice cream-phew! Busy Day! Then they still had enough energy to run around the backyard in the beautiful sunset.

Jackie & Kade...

Kade chasing Shawn (he is holding his "mickey mouse" that is another post)
Aerobic feats...(not letting go of Mickey for nothing)

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

Kade found out he LOVES to play AIRPLANE (& yes still w/Mickey)

It was really nice of them to make the trip and spend some time with us! Time went so fast though, but it was a blast!

Farmin' w/Uncle Myron's Barn

THANK YOU UNCLE MYRON!!!!
Kade's Grandpa Melvin's brother, Myron, made Kade this AWESOME barn. It comes complete with Kade's Great Grandpa Bernhardt's brand and the Fischer Ranch right on the front.

I've been give strict instructions from Myron to "Let him play with it!!!" Or else I would have to answer to him~ha! Well I'm not sure Myron knows what Kade's definition of PLAY is...hmmm, that would include (but not limited too) CLIMBING, STRADDLING, BANGING W/HIS DRUMSTICK, among other mommy cringing verbs.

As you can see, he's taken over complete ownership of his new property...

"Weeeeelll, let's take a looksie here, Yep yep, that's some good construction alrighty! That should work good for my little hooowsees and piggies..."

"Let me get my tractor here and test out the dimensions, I'll need to store it in here during the winter..."

Oh Good, fits just right!
"Let me close the door, It's been a long day on the farm and I'm gonna go get some sleep before I go feed the cows in the morning!"

Thanks Uncle Myron! He is sure having fun with all his farm animals (and they now have a place to call home!!!) I do think I may need to take out insurance as it will soon resemble hail damage after he used it as a drum the other day~ Gulp! Does State Farm have "Toddler Liability"???????? HA!
