Big Boy!

Caden looked so cute napping in the toddler bed at my parents house.  He was asleep when we put him there or otherwise he probably wouldn't have stayed.  Maybe he will be ready to switch soon.  That's a sad thought for me though.  He's still my baby.

Meeting Baby Delilah

We got to meet Delilah for the first time today since Josefine just got home last night.  She was so sweet and snugly.

Caden loved holding her, and kept getting up on the couch and trying to take her from me.  He even gave her kisses.  It was so sweet. 

Noah and Caden wanted to fight over Delilah.    

Shopping at the Mall

We went to the mall the other night, and I shopped while Matt and Caden did this,  Over and over and over.  Caden kept taking Matt's hand and leading him over there.

Hanging Out With Noah

After Josefine had Delilah she had to stay in Sweden and wait for her passport to come before they could bring her back to the United States.  Bart had to come back to work, so he brought Noah with him since it would've been really hard for Josefine to travel with both of them by herself.  Last week Noah stayed at Amy's house while Bart was working and this week he stayed at our house.  We went to the gym everyday and ran a few errands, but we mostly stayed home.  The boys got along pretty well at the beginning of the week, but not so much by the end of the week.  

It was fun to have two boys in the back seat. 

Mmmm hot dogs. 

I guess that this is how you shop with two wild boys and only one seat in the cart.  They were good until they ran out of fruit snacks which took about 30 seconds.

Garden

Our Garden is doing awesome.  Matt is so proud, so I thought that I would share a few pictures.  We've made attempts at gardening in the past that never worked out, so we are super excited that our garden seems to be healthy and thriving.  Nothing is ready to be eaten yet, but hopefully soon!

 We have at least 7 tomatoes growing now,

We have a couple of yellow peppers. (Yes hopefully they will actually turn yellow.) 

 I also planted some mammoth sunflowers from seeds, and this is the first one to bloom.





Go Dbacks!

Matt got tickets from work to go to the Diamondbacks game on Thursday night.  They were tickets in the US Airways suite which is right behind home plate.  It was awesome!  They won in extra innings, and of course we had to stay and watch them all.  Caden ended up staying up until after 11, but we had a lot of fun!

More Happy Birthday!

Matt always says that I get a birthday week instead of just one day, but this year he got a birthday week too!

We celebrated at Amy's house along with Andy, Austin, and Carter's birthdays. 

We also celebrated with my family, and yes he actually blew out all of the candles in one breath.

Baby Delilah

Matt's brother Bart and his wife Josefine had their baby girl on April 20th.  Her name is Delilah Rose Maria Mendonca.  She was tiny for a Mendonca baby at a 6 lbs 11 oz and 18 in long, but she was born 10 days early.  We thought that Caden was going to hold the record fir the smallest Mendonca baby, but she beat him by 1 oz.  Josefine went home to Sweden to have the baby, so we haven't met her yet.  She looks so adorable, and we can't wait until they come home!

Happy Birthday!

Today is Matt's 32nd birthday.  I hope that you have a great birthday.  I love you!

My Invention

Matt hasn't really been able to carry anything since he has been on crutches, but now that has all changed.  I was trying to think of something that he could use as a cup holder, and then I thought of his water bottle holder.  He used it while he was training to run his marathon a couple of years ago, so that his hands could be free while he was running.  I just had to wrap it around the crutches until I could fasten it tight, and it works great.  Too bad that I didn't think if this 3 weeks ago.
