66th Annual Cook Reunion

The Cook Reunion (hog roast/hayride night) is one of my favorite family gatherings- rivaling Christmas. 
I had fun visiting with relatives that I seldom get to see and this year Kaden was fascinated with Johnna's daughter, Nola, who just so happens to be about 6-weeks older than Mr. K.
I can sure tell that he is turning into a little BOY as I had to continuously remind him to
"be gentle" and "not push or wrestle" with Nola. I can only imagine what it's going to be like around here in a couple of years...

Throughout the day, whenever we were close to the farm or near a tractor, Kaden was quite resolute about climbing UP and playing with the controls.
Luckily he has a patient and willing grandpa who seemed to enjoy fulfilling his wishes.

Although this picture doesn't quite capture his excitement/happiness, Kaden loved the hayride, sitting on my lap and snuggling in the warm blanket while I enjoyed catching up with my
aunt Pat & aunt Dawn.
Mommy & Kaden (getting antsy about sitting still, waiting for the hayride to begin.)

Kaden & Nola enjoying a 'smore when we got off the wagon.
At times like this, I wish that Amarillo was a little closer to mid-Missouri.
