The Arizona State Fair

We went to the Arizona State Fair a couple of weeks ago with my parents, and Caden got to go to his first Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers concert.  He loved it, and was dancing on the chairs and yelling.  It was so funny.  He did get bored after a little while, so my parents took him to see some stuff while Matt and I watched the rest of the show.

The Cardinals Game and Schnepf Farms

Matt and his brothers-in-law, and some of our older nephews were so excited to go to the Cardinals game yesterday since it was during the week and not on a Sunday.

My sister-in-law Amy's girls had a dance performance at Schnepf Farms, so Caden and I went with them so that we could have some fun too!   Caden and Cannon were waiting for the girls to dance here.

They had some fun rides, 

and a petting zoo. 

Caden loved the airplane ride, and he went on it lots of times.  I could not convince him to go on the little roller coaster though.

The Zoo

We went to the zoo yesterday with my cousin Courtney and her little boy Oliver and my other cousin's wife Alison and her kids Madison and Lucas.

 

Caden and Madison were so excited to ride the camel! 

This monkey was very interested in the kids,  He was so cool looking, and he doesn't usually come up to the glass like this, 

The tiger was awake, and he was playing with some toys in his cage.  He was also roaring back at the kids which they loved! 

Taking a break. 

We got to see Reba the elephant up close, and her trainer was even there,  we got to watch her eat some apples, and when they were gone she kept making noises to the trainer because she wanted more,  She was so cool.  We also found out a lot of info about the elephants from the trainer.  There are 3 elephants, but they are always kept separate because they don't get along.  Reba was donated to the zoo in 1999 by the Ringling Brothers Circus after she killed someone.  The trainers never go into the cage with the elephants, and there is always some sort of barrier.

The Dentist!

Caden went to the dentist and he didn't have any cavities!  He was so good, and Dr. Welch said that he is the best four year old patient.  He picked these glasses out of the treasure box.  Before we went he was worried that there wouldn't be anything in the treasure box, so it's a good thing that he found something good. :)

 

Mother Nature's Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday we went to Mother Nature's Farm.  It's right across the street from our old house.  When we were first married we used to walk over there, and we still like to go even though we have to drive now.  It's a lot funner with Caden too!

 

As soon as the goat heard the dispenser giving out food he was sticking his head over the fence trying to get it.  I guess that he has it all figured out! 

This was on the hayride which was Caden's favorite part since we were pulled by a tractor. 

Caden got to decorate a pumpkin.

First T-Ball Game!

Caden had his first t-ball game on Saturday!  He was so handsome in his uniform, and he did an awesome job!  He was so excited that his cousin Noah and his friend Porter are on his team too!

 

Happy Birthday to me

We celebrated my 32nd birthday this week.  It was fun to hang out with family, and I always get spoiled by Matt and Caden!

 

Cute Card!

We went to a birthday party last week for Caden's friend, and Caden made this cute card for him!  I was excited that Caden wanted to make a card since he doesn't usually like to do crafty things, plus he did such a good job with the writing!

The Zoo

We've been going to the zoo once a week since the weather has been so good, and last week we went with Grandma Nancy and Uncle Mikey who are two of Caden's favorite people!
