Cade's Name Sake

Carl David Moss with his Great Grandson, Cade Moss Barton

Camping Trip 2009

Cade walking on his Cast

Cade is a trooper. In the last couple of days he decided he was sick of scooting on his bum so he starting walking with his cast on. He dumped his first cast in the pool so we had to get a new one on. He hated having it off, for lots of reasons I think - 1, he thinks of it as a big bandage and he remembers how bad it hurt before they put the cast on. 2, he hates the machine that sounds like and looks like they are sawing his leg off to get the cast off and 3, his poor leg looks like a chicken leg under that cast :(. We go to the doctor on Monday I am hoping and praying that they just take it off, but there is the chance he will have 2 more weeks - yikes!!!

Disney

I have been late to get our Disney Pictures up because it was too hard to figure out which ones to put on there - so many good times, so many good pictures!! We celebrated Braum's 37th birthday and Carla's 60th birthday in Florida. Went to all the Disney Parks and Clearwater Florida, to the gulf. Great times!!!!

The Cast

Cade and Reagan Thomason
Reagan is our nieghbor and they love to play with each other. We had to put a layer of K State purple on Cade's leg because he wore off all the green from playing outside so much and dragging it on the driveway. I am amazed at how well he gets around - but still CAN'T wait until the 15th of June which he hopefully gets a walking cast. The rings in our house have not been good to us, he broke his leg basically the same way Ashlynn broke her arm by swinging on the rings. His were just not in monkey bar formation.

THUNDERSTORMS

It was another exciting night in Kansas with huge thunder and lightning. Thought I would miss the nights that all my kids have to come in my bed when they are scared so I took this picture. Braum is gone until 2 in the morning lately since Gunnery is going on so this is what he saw when he got home. So, he slept in Cade's bed, I was sleeping in the middle of Brooke and Cade.

Homes in Illinois

In Memory of Grandma Duryea

How sweet it was to be loved by her!!!
1926-2009

Rylie, Brooke, Ashlynn and I spent a proud Memorial weekend honoring a wonderful lady!! We met my Dad and Wendy and my brothers with my sisters, Maegan and Jess and baby Reagan in Illinois to bury Grandma. She died on May 15th. I never felt more loved than when I was in the presense of her and my grandpa - they were always on my side! I was so happy to have gotten the chance to go up there and see the things that reminded me so much about them, we got to see her house that we used to spend our summers and her parents house. And spent a great day with everyone there. Family, no matter how much you do or don't see them is always there for each other - with a true, unconditional love surronding it!
May 2009

Here is Rylie playing soccer. Her team didn't win, but we still love watching her play!

Easter Egg Docorating

Decorating was different this year. Usually I have to get everything set up and have a huge mess to clean up. I think the girls had just as much fun making the egg dye than decorating the eggs. They did a great job and I got to take lots of pictures. They were so organized in the beginning that clean up was easy. The eggs turned out beautiful and we had a great time doing them!!

Rylies 5th Grade Musical

Can you tell which one she is?

Rylie did an amazing job in her musical. I can't believe she is getting so big!

The Three Musketeers cheering her sister on!

Brooke's soccer game in Salina, KS

This is Brooke's second game playing with her new traveling team the Pink Pathers. Yes, her uniform is green, you haven't gone colored blind, they came up with their name before they figured out what color they would be; you would think to change the name?? Anyway, they haven't done so good as far as wins go but they do look great with their matching backpacks and warmup outfits. She is on an all girl team that has a lot of potential so we think this is a great thing for her. Dad is the assistant coach and loving every minute of it even in his hectic work schedule.
