Some New Firsts

Well, Stephen and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary on the 4th of September. Time flies when you're having fun! Since we got married I have fallen in love with making cakes, however, Stephen is not much of a cake eater. He prefers pies. Frankly, for some reason, pies scare me. They seem way too complicated. But, because I love my husband (and because I got a great magazine of recipies from my mom) I decided to try it as an Anniversary gift. Sure, I cheated and used a store-bought crust...(one has to start SOMEWHERE) but, it turned out really good AND it wasn't that hard. So, I guess, I'm learning to like to make pies as well!

I cut out little hearts but, the filling kind of bubbled out. Oh well....

This week Jaden went to his first football game! We went to a High School game because one of the youth from church, Thomas, was playing in the marching band and wanted us to see their performance. The band did a great job, especially for being so early in the season. I think we'll go to another game or a competition later to see their complete show. Jaden was enthralled by the drums!

Of course, he also had a really good time playing with Grandpa, riding on Daddy's shoulders, and he REALLY enjoyed the confetti!

This last picture is from yesterday. Jaden stayed with Grandma & Grandma H while Stephen and I went to a movie for our anniversary (a few days late). He was SO happy and playful and if you look close you can see his 2 bottom teeth! I think this might possibly be the CUTEST picture taken of him yet!
