Matthew-less in Seattle!

Cayden and I took a trip to Seattle for a week so that Matthew was able to have some "quiet" time to get a lot of homework done. Cayden did not do that great on the airplane but I managed to get a picture of him smiling on the plane. Let's just say that the last 20 minutes of the plane ride to Seattle Cayden spent his time screaming and then fell asleep as the plane touched the ground. Go figure.
Cayden was the center of attention for the whole week and he really enjoyed spending time with Grandpa De Yager playing with his toys (wow, my mom kept a lot of toys from back in my day . . . good job mom!).
The window in their living room is the perfect height for him to look out at all the rain! This meant that we were able to take some of those tags off of Cayden's long sleeved clothes so he could finally wear them!
Cayden's favorite thing to eat was Grandma's cinnamon roll . . . not a good decision to start feeding him those because one day that is all he would eat, not cool!
I think our little boy is going to be a piano player, he loved it! He definitely loves music!
Just a cute picture of him watching Praise Baby with Grandma.
So Cayden loves to be in the car but not strapped in his car seat. So when Uncle Shaun brought him out to his car he had a blast playing.
I think he was getting pretty tired here and Aunt Natasha was trying to calm him down after all the action. There is always a lot of ACTION when Cayden is involved and has an audience.
So we tried out Cayden's new shoes again and this time was a little bit more successful because he was preoccupied with playing with Grandpa and Grandma and the soccer ball.
At Uncle Shaun and Aunt Courtney's house he was obsessed with going up and down the stairs over and over and over again.
Oh and then there was the railing which he could fit his entire body through. Aunt Courtney was trying to block him from falling through.
I think this will be on my parent's Christmas card, but it was a nice picture of all three of them!

We had a lot of fun seeing lots of family and friends and getting a break from the unwanted heat back here. It was 90 degrees when we came back on Monday. Ridiculous since it is November!! It was nice to come back and see Matthew and he was able to get a lot of homework done so we are so proud of him! It is almost the end of the semester, time to start the count down!
