Time with Mom and Dad

This is a picture of our babies. Maddi says Cocoa is her baby when she's not holding the real baby, Emalyn.

Maddi and I had some mother/daughter time Saturday. We went with Maddie and Lynn to see Annie. We had lunch at Cheesecake Factory before the play and had a great girl day. Emalyn was too little to join in our girl day so she stayed home with Daddy and Cade. Cade had a basketball game that day so before we left Brett was checking out the diaper bag to make sure he had everything he'd need. He said there were 3 diapers but he wanted to add some more. Maddi looked at him and said "dad, WHERE are you going?" Brett laughed at himself and Maddi's question and said, "just Cade's basketball game that's down the street." Ha! At least he could laugh at himself and his over preparedness.

Annie was very good, but they added some parts that weren't in the movie and took out some of our favorite parts. It was a great day until the car ride home when Maddi and Maddie were begging for a sleep over (they were together that day from 10:30-6:30) and got a little drama-ish when we said no over and over. Lynn and I looked at each other and said "they're only 9!" We are very afraid of the teenage years.

Cade and Maddi have been getting some "Daddy" time the last few weeks while they work on their cars for the Awana Prix. Cade's doing the race, but when they went to church last weekend to work on his car Maddi wanted to get a car too. They were painting their cars Saturday night and then Brett put the wheels on Sunday and they are officially done with their cars. Cade will race his Saturday.

Cade looks very weird here, but his car turned out pretty cool. It's a Texas Aggie car. I'm sure it will be the only Aggie car in the race! The kids had a great time working on their cars with Brett and I stayed far far away from anything car related.
