A Little About Our Family

Since this is my first blog, I would like to start from the beginning. Wade and I met through a friend when I was 15 and he was 17 in September 1996. I knew I would marry him one day not long after we started dating. That day came on April 3, 2004.







We had our first son, Conner Matthew Rice, on February 6, 2006. Conner is a sweet, silly, hyper, shy, independent, whiny, needy, and bossy little 2 year old all rolled up in one! He can cock an attitude and throw a fit like you've never seen, but turn right around and be the sweetest little boy in the world. Eventhough he's the spitting image of his daddy, he is definitley a mama's boy and has been from the beginning. He loves his bear and doesn't go anywhere without him. There's not a day that goes by that Conner doesn't say or do something to make us laugh or smile. I couldn't image our life without him!















Our second son, Cade Alan Rice, was born on April 15, 2008. Cade is our laid back, easy-going child. He is perfectly content wherever you put him, although, he can be a little rotten at times. He's beginning to want to either ride your hip or have you in his face all the time. He almost always has a smile on his face and will laugh at anything. He thinks Conner is the funniest person ever and keeps his eyes on him at all times. Cade loves to twirl his feet, squeal, babble and is still amazed at his hands. He's my lazy little chunk that melts my heart!











Below are some of my favorite pictures and a small look into our lives.....
