Sweet Treat

This evening Caden finished his dinner (a rare activity these days!) and got to have dessert

He chose a popsicle - or a "pa-ca-la-la" according to CP

A very messy sweet treat
But super yummy

And even though he ended up looking like the Joker from Batman

It was worth all the stickiness (and extra bath!) to see this smile

Wordless Wednesday: Papa and the Wood Chipper

Training Camp

Who's ready for some football? Team Zahrte, that's for sure! On Saturday we all put on our Broncos gear and headed down to Broncos Training Camp. This was not our first trip to Broncos Training Camp, so we were pros!

We even got GaGa to go along with us!

Caden had a super time and even made a new friend or two

This year we didn't stay for the autograph frenzy, but we did enjoy watching the team run through their drills

Caden loved yelling, "Go Broncos!" and "Go Tebow!" Looks like it's going to be a fun football fall!

Sprinkler Sprintin'

Nothing says summer like running through the sprinklers, right? Caden and the sweet girls in our neighborhood agree wholeheartedly! We have three girls that live just up the street from us that love Caden to bits (trust me, the feeling is mutual!). They have been begging us to turn on our sprinklers so they could run through them. Jeremy finally gave in and turned them on one afternoon last week so they could get soaked. Caden did not want to be left out, so we stripped him down and let him run through them too. As you can see, he had a ball!

Don't Be Jealous

I've mentioned many times about Caden's love for Barney. I have tried and tried to encourage him to love another character - Elmo, Dora, whatever I don't care. No luck. He loves the big purple and green guy. So, when we heard that Barney's Birthday Bash was coming to Denver, we (JZ, Caden, GaGa and me) loaded up and headed down to the Pepsi Center

We met up with Nana and Grandpa Kim

And we watched Barney bust a move with his friends Baby Bop, BJ, and Riff

It took Caden a few minutes to warm up to big dancing dinosaurs, but he eventually loved it and started singing and dancing along
He even got a Barney ball to commemorate his first live show experience
Ok, so I don't love Barney, but I do love seeing this little guy smile

Children's Museum

A few weeks before leaving for Mexico, Caden and I joined his friends Ayden and Sophia (and their Mommy, too!) at the Denver Children's Museum. It had been almost a year since we had gone and it was amazing how much more Caden could do. Last year, he could really only play in the toddler room because everything else was too big for him. This year, he still loved the toddler room...

...but he also was able to play with so much more!

Like the trains
And the "build stuff" room
And the grocery store
And the bubble room (complete with goggles so the bubble solution wouldn't get in his eyes)

And of course, the painting
What a wonderful place so close to home (and another bonus - a super nap that afternoon!)
