Kadence is 6 Months Old!

Kadence turns 6 months old tomorrow. She went to the Dr. this morning and got 3 shots. Here are her stats:

Weight: 17 lbs. 5 oz (75%)
Height: 27 3/4 inches (98%)
Head Circ: 17 cm (75%)

Her favorite pastimes now are making loud noises, giggling, and drooling like crazy (but no teeth yet)! She has become quite a good eater and loves cauliflower. I haven't fed her anything she doesn't like yet, but she really goes to town when I feed her cauliflower!

The best way to soothe Kadence when she is crying is to have Carson sing her a song. It works EVERY time!

Just for comparison, Carson was 22 lbs. 12 oz. and 28 1/2 inches long at this age!!!

Here are some more pictures from her 6 month photo shoot.

Kicking Out Cancer

On October 23, 2010 Ryan and I had the honor of participating in the 1st annual Megan S. Ott Kickball Tournament. We had so much fun and what a great way it was for all of Megan's friends and family members to honor her. Megan was a friend of mine from the Fishers MOMS Club. She died 6 months ago, at the age of 34, after her 21-month fight with breast cancer.

The kickball tournament was followed by a dinner and silent auction and they were able to raise over $18,000 for Megan's foundation!!! We look forward to playing again next year!

(Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the kids so that we could be a part of this amazing event! :)

Here's a picture of Megan's husband and two daughters as the get ready to roll the first pitch.


Here we are - The Innies & Outies!!! 1/2 the team was from Fishers and the other 1/2 was from out of state, hence the name. We came in 11th place that day. (I guess I should also mention that there were only 12 teams, but hey, at least we didn't come in last! :)

Family Fun Day

We had a fun family day today! This morning we went hiking at a local park and took in all the beautiful Fall colors. I just love looking at all the tress this time of year. Here are some pics from our walk.















We ended our day with a game of bowling tonight. We did not take any pictures there but it was a lot of fun. Carson was so happy that he scored 42 points! :)
