Caden is 5!

Caden had his birthday last week, so he's officially 5! I can't believe it. He has grown so much. Caden decided that he wanted a pirate cake and to go to Disneyland for his birthday, so that's what we did!
I brought the cake to share with Caden's preschool class. Everyone loved it, but one little boy came up to me and said, "Caden's mom....Caden's mom....Caden's mom....I don't like the cake!" What do you say to that?
All day Caden kept saying, "Mom, are you so proud of me 'cause I'm soooo big now that I'm five!" And then when Scott came home he said, "Dad!!! You haven't seen me five yet!" He was making us laugh all day.

Caden is such a blessing in our family. Here is a little bit about him. He is getting so big and is always wanting to help me out. When I'm cooking, he comes in and asks, "What can I do to help, mom?" And when I'm cleaning he asks the same thing! Caden is as outgoing as they come. The second we go to the park, he finds someone he wants to play with, walks right over to introduce himself, and in seconds he has a friend to play with. Also, anyone who knows Caden knows he loves babies. He is always the first one to run over and play peek-a-boo with any baby. Whenever I babysit for friends, he always begs to feed the baby and asks if we can keep it. A few times I've been flipping the channels to find a cartoon for him to watch, and I've passed "A Baby Story" on TLC, and Caden has stopped me because he wants to see the baby. Almost every night in his prayers he asks Heavenly Father to put a baby in mommy's tummy. He is so sweet. Caden is currently into transformers. He got Optimus Prime and Bumblebee for his birthday and he hasn't put them down! Caden has a ton of energy, but is still so sweet and helpful, I can't believe how fast he's grown.
