Kaden is 4 years old!!!!

We had so much fun at Kaden's Cowboy and Indian birthday party. Cousins, Grandma's and Grandpa's, aunt and uncle's were all apart of this wonderful time. I had to drop a tear or two knowing that my "little man" is growing up. Here are some pictures to recap...


Kaden only likes the frosting and ice cream when it comes to cakes so I thought we'd get him a Ice cream cake. IT WAS SOO GOOD!


We broke a pinata


Indian chief MOM read some cowboy stories by the fire


Ready to ride some horses and lasso some cow's!

Sheriff Kaden was the star of the day!

Neglect!!!!

I have neglected my blog for so long. SORRY
I am renewing my blogging passion and will write all about Kaden's Birthday this weekend.
Until then
bye-bye

Women's Conference

I had the most amazing opportunity to go to Women's Conference with some very sweet women. Special shout-out to my mother for tending my children for six hours while I went. Thanks Mom! I couldn't have done it without your help. Also, thanks to Rachael for inviting me. It was my first time and I didn't even know what it was, but now I will never forget it. The opening speaking was Sheri Dew. Her talk was "Awake, Arise, and Come unto Christ" Some of the things that I took from her talk were that women truly are the influence of the world. We are Heavenly Father "secret weapon" we are the heart of the Father's plan. If the women of the world fall the human race falls. We cannot fail our family, our neighborhoods, our society, our countries. Everyday in our lives as women we need to talk, walk, rejoice in Christ and have our action reflect that. She said that as members of the LDS church we need to be the women that are strong enough to choose holiness above the world. The thing that I think I needed to hear the most was that I need to take time for personal worship. She made a statement "you can't draw water from an empty well" and that is so true. If we are truly to be the key to our Heavenly Fathers plan then we need to have "water" to let our families draw from. I am going to make the time to do that. I know Christ lives and loves me and I am so grateful for that knowledge; it makes life worth living. I am truly happy with that knowledge in my life. If you ever get a chance to go to Women's Conference GO!!! It will be the best thing you can do with your time. Thanks!


Jennifer, Me, and Rachael

I made the girls help me find a Cougar.
Go BYU!

I couldn't go down to BYU without taking this

Dinosaur Time

We have a dinosaur museum close to our house and just love to go. We went with my parents and Derek and Trisha's family. We had so much fun looking and interacting with all the exhibits.




There were lots of very interesting dinosaur's but
T-Rex is always a favorite.


Emma sure loves to have Grandma and Grandpa
at her side.

Dad and Kaden under the T-Rex

Kaden and Faith in front of a REALLY big shark
they thought it was pretty cool.

Emma's Birthday Cake

Emma Is 1 Years Old!!!!!

She made it! One years old! I still can't believe she is already one. Sometimes you have to take a step back to cherish each day because you can't live it again. On April 14, 2008 we had a little party for her. Grandma and Grandpa B came, along with Derek & Trisha's family. Grammy & Grandpa couldn't come. Grammy had 2 surgeries :( (We missed them)!

Emma with mommy at her party.
I love to put her in little dresses.


She recieved twin dolls from Grandma & Grandpa B.
She walks around the house with them all the time
loving and snuggling her new babies.


At first she didn't know what to do with her
cake and ice cream.
She would touch the frosting,
then try to flick it off her hands.


That didn't last long....


"Could my life get any better then this?"

Michael's Backyard Project

He's at it again. My husband doesn't quit working on projects (which I am grateful for) this latest one is the backyard. It was A LOT of work but we should have a nice yard in 2 months. I got a few pictures of Kaden and him working on the garden area. He also put the sprinklers in, moved 31 tons of topsoil, leveled it, and planted the seed. What a job! I am so proud of him. The best part was watching him work with Kaden. Kaden LOVES to work with Dad! These are the before pictures. The after shots will come soon.
