Freezing while tailgating in Iowa City before the Iowa/Michigan game.
Brady Woods even came out for a bit to tailgate…It must be cold if Chad is drinker beer with gloves on.

Heading back home to Overland Park…It was a fun weekend, but it will be nice to sleep in our own beds.
We started our Friday night eating squash…Yum!!!!
Then we read our book…
Saturday morning Cayden and I woke up early to go to the SMA 5K Walk in Roeland Park, Kansas. Cayden did well The reason we were walking is because Lindsay Cochran is in my morning kindergarten class and has a disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). It is a genetic disease in which both parents have to be a carrier and pass the gene to their child. It is also a progressive disease which means these children usually get weaker as they get older. Lindsay uses a wheelchair to get around because the disease affects her muscles. It also affects her respiratory muscles which means that when she gets a cold, she cannot clear her lungs like the rest of us. A cold for Lindsay can easily lead to pneumonia and become life threatening. Lindsay loves being at school and is a typical kindergartener who loves to play outside, play with princesses, play dress up, and loves to learn at school.
Cayden had so much fun and enjoyed meeting Lindsay!
Finishing the race with Carol Watchous and her daughter Amy. I work with Carol, she’s a 3rd grade teacher and Amy is a Senior at KU.
After the walk it was time for the Iowa game. Iowa vs. Arkansas State.
And of course…what’s a saturday without a walk to the deli???
Not only is Cayden cutting teeth one by one, but tonight he started waving to Chad and I. How exciting!!! The picture below is our little snoopy- Thanks McCausland’s for the great birthday party and party favor!
Friday we went to the Shawnee BBQ Contest where Cory & Eric competed against other BBQ smokers.
Cayden enjoyed himself even though he took a little nap while the other kiddos played football.
Happy 5 months Cayden!
Cayden’s first tooth started coming in today…it just cut through; we can’t wait until it comes in all the way…what a big boy he’s becoming!!!!
Saturday was Jay’s 1st birthday party!
Happy Birthday Jay!
After Jay’s birthday party we went to the OP for some Iowa Football action!
Sunday Lifetime Fitness had their bring your dog to the pool day, since they are closing down the pool for the year. Reggie was unsure about it and I think all the dogs there kinda freaked him out too.
