That recent cheer of the crowd and thrill of competition you sensed coming from central Texas was the product of the Thorton Elementary's annual FIELD DAY. (Think X-games just safer) This year was cool because the Army showed up to help. Soldiers from Fort Hood came over to run each of the game stations and they did a great job. Here are a couple of pics of Cayden in the various competitions.
Cayden has done great this soccer season. He gets out on the field where he runs and plays hard. This pic is from this past Saturday's game. Cayden played really well and scored several goals.
Last week our youth minister, Brandon Baker, and his family invited us to the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, to celebrate the birthday of their son Mason. Here is a photo of Cayden checking out the tiger habitat. The Harding hat is courtesy of Cayden's Searcy friend Hayden Koch. 
A toy Cayden received recently is a Spider Man web blaster. You can see he thought it was pretty cool and figured out quickly how to use it.
Last Friday we woke up to find a small layer of snow on the ground. Cayden made good use of it before school.
It's official! Our baby boy is growing up. Cayden attended his first day of kindergarten today. All things considered he did great. Mom & dad were probably more anxious than him. I know it is a tired cliche but "it seems like yesterday" we were bringing him home from the hospital. To all those contacted Cayden to wish him well or sent him cards, THANKS. To all those who pray for him on a regular basis, THANKS and KEEP IT UP! It is more intimidating than I thought to send your child off to school and not be there with him.
I love this picture of Cayden. It was taken not too long ago while playing in the yard in the water hose. The reason I love this picture is because of the expression on Cayden's face. He is completely caught up in the moment. In this instance he has no concerns, worries, anxieties, or stresses. He is simply loving exactly what he is doing at that moment. May more of life be just like this.
Right around Easter time Cayden learned to ride his bike without the training wheels. He has quickly become comfortable and confident on his bike. He loves to ride. This evening we were playing around outside and I dared him to stand on his bike. As you can see he took me up on my challenge and did better than I could have imagined. It is incredible to watch him grow and learn.
Happy Mother's Day Erica! The kids are still a little too young (not for long) to post this themselves...but if they could, I am sure they would say something like this:
