Baylor Homecoming 2009: A Picture Poem

Bright and early, up before the sun

Caden and Paps were ready for some fun!

We got to the parade and it was a little chilly, 

but Caden was all bundled up smiling so silly!

Our first HC as a family, we were ready to celebrate

A sweet family photo at the parade was a great way to commemorate 

Our dear friends from Houston Scott and Meli P

Brought their little boy Carter, what a sweet pea

Daddy caught a little football, so mini and bright blue

Caden asked Paps, "I wished it was green and gold, don't you?"

Yay, here comes the band! Clap, cheer and shout!

Even with all the noise the Cade-man never did pout.

Sweet Nana got in on all the HC parade fun

But Paps turned his head before the camera was good and done.

Another family picture, could there every be too many?

Check out all the band members and their celebratory shimmy!

Oh, look it's the whole fam posing for pic

Oops, Nana closed her eyes when the camera went click.

Brown bear, brown bear, flying way up high

It was fun to be way down low when it went walking by.

Mommy holding Caden, she and Daddy kept taking turns

Their arms were feeling more than just one or two good burns. 

The Cade-man and his Mommy what an inseparable pair

They even look like they have the very same shade of blondie, blond hair.

Uncle Josh and Aunt Emmie were there, we promise they really were

But we wished we had a better pic of our fun with them that's for sure.

Midway through the parade Caden was getting a little sleepy

But he hung in there like a champ and didn't get too weepy.

Parking it on the blanket it was a great sight to see

Daddy and me, me and Daddy, just the way it should be.

My buddy, my friend, my coach and most importantly my provider

When I look at this pic I wonder if my heart could open any wider

Family pics are here to stay so get ready for hundreds more

We display them all over the house, one through every door

Another angle to capture the festivities, to capture the fun

The parade was almost over,  it was almost time to run

Aunt Cori and Caden with some big, goofy grins

They have so much fun together that everybody wins

The Cox girls and the Cade-man, which one can smile the biggest

I think Caden wins this prize because his grins are the bestest

The Agnews and the Caden-man what a trio they will be

When Caden goes to visit his Uncle Trent and Aunt Cori

The parade was over and it was time for the game

But a game without lunch first would be super lame

In the trunk we ate our lunch and Caden had mashed potatoes

Where he fits all the food he eats is a mystery no one knows

Baylor's colors are green and gold but for HC they were just gold

Their jerseys were spiffy and new, certainly not smelly and old

Caden and Mommy at the game watching the Bears loiter

So we weren't too sad when we left after the very first quarter

Overalls are good for more than making stylish debuts

Like making sure Caden is safe and not making any sneaky moves.

Hold on tight Daddy, don't clap your hands

Or else Caden will be face first in the stands

Later in the day we went back to campus to visit all the floats

We took a few pics, walked a few steps and that was all she wrote

A quick stop by Judge Baylor, a photo-op indeed

A padded pedestal was the only thing in need

And now we're home and unpacked, the house is nice and clean

Okay so I lied, don't judge me for blogging instead of giving things a sheen

You know you love the picture of our family weekend fun

The only thing that could have made it better was if Baylor would have won!

THANKS Nana and Paps for a GREAT weekend in Waco. We appreciate all the food, clothing and shelter you provided us! Can't wait until next year!! We love y'all!
