Funny Prayer

Still working out the whole computer thing so no pictures for now, but a funny story will do!
To preface the story, Cade is a little bit obsessed with the movie Tarzan! If we are in the truck he will say "no birit (Spirit) mite now, dust tarzan....... no herteese (Hercules) mite now, dust tarzan......no piddy show (Charolettes Web) mite now, dust tarzan". You get the idea. Anyhow he is a little scared of the big gorilla Kerchek, but likes him at the same time.
We were at Bryan's parents house for dinner one night and Cade wanted to say the prayer....so I'm helping him: Heavenly Father "hembee bader" thank you for this day "mm day" thank you for our blessings "mm bessings" thank you for our family "aw bamly" please bless the food "bess bood" help us have a good day "hab dood day brum tercheck".............Yep! Cade wants everyone to have a good day and be safe from Kerchek! I had to end the prayer there because I was trying so hard not to laugh. It's so funny what goes on inside their little heads.
He turned 2 on September 11th! His stats are 27lbs 15 oz. and 34 inches tall. We got him a pony, yes a real live pony! Her name is oreo and Cade loves her so much and loves to ride her. A few things about Cade at age 2:
*He is very independent (good and bad)
*He's getting good at doing chores: making his bed, cleaning up his room (clothes, toys), brushing his teeth, PRACTICING on the toilet (that's a touchy subject!), putting his dishes in the sink, putting on his own clothes and shoes, feeding Oreo and Jack.....
*He uses his manners MOST the time and sometimes I don't have to cue him! It's so rewarding when he says please and thank you on his own!
*Sleeps and for the most part STAYS in his "big boy bed"
*Loves to read books, do puzzles, color, figure things out and just play!
*Gives a good double thumbs up!
*Usually can tell you right from left
*Knows ABC's, Colors and Numbers and most Shapes
*LOVES to help dad with whatever he is doing! He thinks daddy is pretty darn cool! Bry was working on the chicken coop and had his drill and hammer, well Cade had to have his too and followed Bry around just copying him. It was so cute!
*Is pretty good and sharing and playing with other kids.
*He's always thinking of something and already tries to do things behind our backs (especially find the candy and eat it before we find him)

Ok so I'm a proud mom and this list could go on for a while, but I do like to jot these types of things down so I can remember and it'll be fun to show Cade one day! We love Cade so much! It seems like everyday we say how cute he is and how much we love him to each other. He has been such a blessing and so much fun in our family. He has taught us many things as well and we are so thankful that we could be his parents! WE love YOU Caders!

Back to feeling Naked!

Word of advice to those out there.........back up your computers! However you can, do it! We didn't and our computer crashed and we almost lost everything. This is why I have been missing for a while, I haven't had a computer! So, we got a bug, it was sending out nasty emails to everyone and then it CRASHED! I took it in to SCION COMPUTERS in Idaho Falls (shout out!) and my brother said if this guy (Benjamin) can't fix it then no one can! A few days go by, still no word on the computer and then he calls. He says he is so disappointed but he can't even get it running basically. WHAT!? All those pictures if my little man....GONE! NOOOOOOOOOOO! So he tells me we can send it to a Clean Facility in Boise where they take it apart piece by piece "clean" it and put it back together, recover your data and call it good. Oh, here's the best part, the cheapest they've done it for is $850! Nope that's NOT a joke, and it's NOT for a new computer, it's just to retrieve all our data! Gasp, eyes wide, jaw to floor, feeling light-headed and then I fall. But we HAD to! We have to have those pictures! I can't tell Cade, "we don't have any pictures of your first 2 years of life because we were too cheap to fix our computer at the time". So we get it ready to send to Boise and Benjamin calls me up and says since you're sending it to Boise there is one RISKY thing I could try. Yep, go for it! we are screwed anyway! So, he tries it, and he recovers MOST our data!!! And for only $250! Thank You Benjamin! For now, we have set up our OLD laptop and it's getting the job done, SLOWLY, but surely. I installed the printer the other day and it took 3 hours! LOL! I need to be thankful I have a slow laptop and my pictures and data recovered. I shall catch up on this D#*@ blog one of these days!
