Weekend in Missouri
This past weekend we headed to Marshall, MO where Chris was a groomsman in his friend Brandon’s wedding. To break the trip up we stopped in Tulsa and visited with some dear friends, The Ballards. They have two children, Everette and Sophia. Caden was unsure about Everette and Sophia at first, but then when he saw their train table and Everette’s collection of cars he was in heaven!

Once we got to Missouri for the rehearsal Caden met Daniella and Bianca, daughters of Shane and Pam, who are friends of Brandon’s and Chris’s. While the guys were doing their thing on Saturday before the wedding, we gave the kids some time to play together.

Watching the wedding from the cry room. Caden is a true boy and does not know how to sit still, so the sanctuary wasn’t even an option!
This was an awesome cake!! Brandon’s sister made the whole thing, including all the flowers!!

Marshall was a pretty small town, not something Chris and I are used to. But we loved it! The brides family reserved a few cottages for the bridal party and their families right across from the church. It was so nice to be able to walk to the church and to be able to enjoy a small town bed and breakfast!
The house we stayed in:
On the way back on Sunday we stopped off somewhere in Kansas at a scenic park that was on the side of the road. Caden loved throwing rocks in the water!
When we got back to Dallas yesterday we did a few errands. One was a haircut for Caden. It is definite….he still hates getting his hair cut! But at least this time he stayed in the seat the whole time! Maybe next time he won’t cry as much!
