Kaden's 2nd Birthday!

Riley had a lot of excitement this weekend too! We had Kaden's 2nd birthday party. It was at Pump It Up Jr, and he loved it of course. Then we went to Angie's house for a cookout that evening, and he loved that too! Kaden is the only kid I know that may actually like Toy Story and the characters more than Riley! 

Here's a quick video of the end of the play time at Kaden's party...the most trying time for the parents to capture a picture of all the kiddos together!  

That's Riley on the far right, then 3 over to the left in the green shirt is Kaden! 

Then today my really good friend Ellen from back in my consulting days was in town from Boston, so she brought her 4 year old son Marek over to have a play date with Riley! He should be play dated OUT at this point! They had fun riding in the wagon, riding Riley's Strider bike and Harley electric car GiGi got Riley for Christmas. Kelly was washing the cars, so they rode them back and forth through the water stream for a REALLY long time! I've always said Ellen is the smartest woman I've ever met! She's like crazy, scary smart! Has been a scientist and studied whale communication, done some really interesting things. She's a VP at Forrester Research now, and she, her husband Tracey and Marek are all about to embark on an adventure for the rest of the year! They are moving to India then Singapore from May 1st through December! I can't imagine doing that! If anyone can do it, Ellen can though! Best of Luck to her and her family! As a side note, Ellen went to her FIRST EVER rodeo while she was here this weekend! She's backpacked around the world for a year, but never been to a rodeo! Too funny! She loved it! So did her son!

Kelly and I are all of the sudden getting a true glimpse into what the next 15 years has in store for us! Weekends planned around birthday parties and kids events! He hasn't even started any "activities" yet! I'm not sure we'll EVER be up for 7 or 8am activities on Saturdays! We all sleep later than that!
