Ok so a rare treat...you get to see the crustache!! This was a complete joke, please don't think I would actually let him look like this! :) l0l

And a really cute game Cade started doing...it is the song "Bumble bee Bumble bee come from the barn...tickle little Caden under the arm! Nancy has been singing this to him since he was born and this is his version of it. So cute!

Can you believe how old he looks here...he loves Grandpa's tractor.

Happy family

Couldn't keep him out of it! ha

Trip to a Smithsonian in DC...Cade was not fond of the elephant

Julie's friend Mindy came down to see her, so nice.

How sweet!

Bad hair day

Pure Relaxation!

We both ended up with blonde, fluffy hair!!

Laughing with Grandma!
Ok so the order is wrong here...to explain first look at picture below.....now this is after he got soaked so that explains the no clothes on him...and Grandma and Grandpa had to run into Home Depot real quick on our way home. So Cade was going to drive us home.

We weren't sure if Cade would go for this or not but he ended up loving it and got soaked!! He was in there with the big boys. And I did have a picture of Matt who happened to be standing right over one of the sprays and got it right in the "underneath." Poor guy looked like he peed his pants. But that picture has gone missing...bummer. :) It was a fun time though.

One of Cade's games. He was all about getting everyone to clap for him. Pretty cute!

Bishop B-day for Cade and Josh

2009-03-02T14:47:00.000-08:00

The boys...the boys!
The Bishop family got together to celebrate some birthdays...and we missed Julie terribly!
We did some Hoffbrauhouse (I don't even know how to spell that), and some molten cakes! Both very yummy.

Birthday Party!! I'm 2!

2009-02-01T11:49:00.001-08:00

He got messy! :)

"It's my party and I will eat pizza backwards if I want to."

"It's my birthday...and check out my cool shoes!"

No doubt he is my son. :)

Pooh Bear party

Weekend with the Herbs!

2008-10-19T16:16:00.000-07:00

Angela and Jason came to visit us this weekend. We all had a great time. Ang has a bunch of other pictures of the weekend so when she sends them to me I will post them. (not likely that will be any time soon) haha

Bi-annual pictures :)

2008-10-16T17:07:00.001-07:00

Like momma like son! ;) mmmm

2008-06-02T10:16:00.000-07:00

That's my boy!

One of the few pictures I actually like of the two of us.
I'm too sexy for my sunglasses... haha. These were some pictures from the dolphin cruise that we all went on in Florida. We saw one really cool dolphin jump probably 8 feet from the boat and right in front of us. Huge animals!

Florida Vacation

So this one we were all trying to get the family picture. I think this one is hilarious because we are all doing our own thing. It is funny.
The only picture of the three of us where Cade isn't crying.
We are silentingly communicating to each other "are we done yet"

We do not like getting pictures taken. :)

2008-02-27T09:26:00.000-08:00

Sorry to all that this hasn't been updated in a long time! I have no good excuse for it.
A lot has happened...Cade turned 1 on January 30th! Crazy! He just started taking some steps last week which was very cool. Overall he is just a healthy, happy little boy. Matt and I are loving being parents.
We want to send a BIG congratulations out to Russ and Amy who are expecting a little blessing of their own! We are so thrilled and happy for you guys!
We are working on getting up to GR to see all of our friends that we miss terribly!
Our home is always open for everyone!

2008-02-27T09:19:00.000-08:00

The horse that Cade is sitting on was made by his great grandpa! He made me and my siblings the same rocking horse when we were babies. So it is pretty cool that he did the same for Cade.
He just wanted to show everyone his teeth!
This was over Thanksgiving when we were visiting the Bishops in Virginia. Grandpa took him on his first lawn mower ride!

2008-02-27T09:08:00.000-08:00

This was a gift from Josh and Michele. It is so warm and cozy! And he looks adorable in it!
thanks guys!

We were fortunate to be able to have Christmas with both of our families, which was great! Here are some pictures from the Bishop Christmas.

2008-02-27T09:04:00.000-08:00

This was one of Cade's favorite presents. His "big Pooh." (kinda an inside joke)

Anyway...he and Pooh have regular conversations. This was with the Allen Christmas.

2008-01-17T11:44:00.000-08:00

Some Firsts!

Thanks and Giving

2007-11-25T19:40:00.000-08:00

For turkey day we traveled to Virginia to meet up with the rest of the family at the parents house. Cade had a couple firsts that I'll share with you:

> Learned to kiss...albeit sloppy and wet....he does it.

> Learned to push the button on his radio toy to play the "exciting" music over and over again.

> Learned that he doesn't like the taste of pickles, mashed potatoes, turkey, and everything else that is not naturally/artificially sweet.

> Learned about Washington DC

> Learned to drive the tractor with Grandpa

He was definitely the life of the party, just as we expected.

Here are some pics. Hope everyone is doing well!

The pumpkin visit

2007-10-27T16:09:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone....time for some fall pics of the kid. He is all over the place lately....crawling, pulling himself up on anything he can reach.....including Piper and Kitty. Which, by the way, is going to be very confusing for him someday....."yes Cade, that IS Kitty, and yes that is also a kitty...." I'll let you know how that goes....

We went to a pumpkin orchard thingy, which everytime we go to we are utterly disappointed with b/c we have been spoiled by Robinette's in Grand Rapids. This year we went there and actually asked for some apple cider......the response : "we don't have any apples here.....Kroger might have some..." ok. thanks. We'll just look at your pumpkins. At least we got some cute pictures with Papa and Nona.

"The duck just farted!" haha

"Look what I can do."

He now knows the world of pureed food...yum. Actually just rice cereal for now. But it is quite amusing!

2007-07-30T16:07:00.000-07:00

THe future star is sporting his new Nike basketball outfit that I bought him.

This week we are going over dribbling...next week I will teach him lay-ups. ;)

2007-07-30T13:34:00.000-07:00

Hey All!

Here are some more pics of Cade...we are trying to start calling him Cade instead of Caden. I like Cade better. :)

These are from a trip that we finally took up to Michigan to visit family and friends. It was so much fun and sooo nice to see everyone. We miss everyone!

Most of these were taken at Russ and Amy's house...they were nice enough to let us invite a bunch of people over so we could see everyone at one time. THanks guys!

It was a lot of fun and some good stories were made that night...(frisbee) Haha

Anyhoo...hope you are all doing well and enjoy the pictures.

We love you all!

2007-06-23T19:55:00.001-07:00

more pics of the cutest baby ever! :)

Blondie (not Meredith)

2007-06-23T19:43:00.000-07:00

We went on our first family vacation this year....a little different than the others without the kid, but overall still tons of fun!

We went to the Outer Banks with Pawpaw and Nona Allen (thats synonomous with grandpa and grandma).

On our way back we visited the other taller grandparents and their new home in Fairfax Va.

We'll post some pics!

See ya!

We had a kid. Crazy.....

I used to throw up in my mouth when I thought about it....but now I really like this kid. (matt speaking...of course!)

OK....We made it on here.....

2007-05-14T06:29:00.000-07:00

Due to the insistence of Amy Miller....the Bishops have officially made it to the internet.

Now what happens?
