Last Friday, Caiden turned 7! Really? We have a 7-year-old? I can't believe it!
His birthday usually falls during Spring Break, so he was happy to be home and playing outside. We even met up with some friends in the morning to play at the park. In the evening, we went to my parents' house for supper and to watch the KU game (not that we're big fans of KU, but it is fun to have basketball on all day, isn't it?) He enjoyed himself, but by the end of the evening, it was clear that he had a fever and Delaney was coming down with an ear infection!
We were supposed to go to the zoo on Sunday with his friends, but we had to postpone that. Poor guy -- he even had a seating arrangement drawn out for the trip! We're going to try again next weekend. Today, I take birthday treats to school. It seems as though this birthday thing just keeps going and going . . .
I've always loved this picture! As a baby, Caiden had such a big smile for everyobody! It's fun to think about his smile now -- gaps where teeth are loose, some big teeth, still a lot of baby teeth. Just another reminder of how he is growing right before our eyes!
Watching basketball -- on the computer. Since not all the games are on CBS this year, we had to find the K-State games on our computer. Caiden has just recently gotten interested in watching basketball! One of Chelan's fondest memories of Caiden's birth is that he got to watch basketball all day in the hospital. Anyway, we pulled our rocking chair up to the desk and enjoyed watching that way -- hmmm, wireless would be nice for this kind of thing!
Taking a ride on Grammy and Papa's new bed -- this made him giggle so much!
Playing Creationary with Grammy -- a gift from them. Have you heard of this game? If you have a Lego fan in your house, this game is awesome! It's like Pictionary, except you build creations instead of drawing. Everyone tries to guess what you have built! Challenging for me, but right up Caiden's alley!
We also celebrated with Chelan's side of the family -- Caiden got more Lego's which kept him very busy over Spring Break. It was also his idea for the football field cake decorated by, of course, Chelan!

Caiden's baby smile is very much like Delaney's smile that i have all over my screen! Aren't birthdays fun? Grandpa Epp was the champion birthday boy - he could celebrate for weeks and weeks!
