Halloween 08

We had so much fun this halloween!! it was a great DAY!!

Kayden was a great Cowboy and Hailey was a perfect Pumpkin, she actually wore the outfit all day and I had fun saying "come here sweet pumpkin" or other sayings, she is a fun pumpkin!
We had a fun halloween party at preschool! went trick or treating at mikes work, came home and went out again to some neighbors left our candy on the door step and then went and saw "Walli" at the local dollar theater, Kade loved it. This might be a fun tradition.

Eight months old

Hailey will 8 Months on the 29th Wed, but my day tomorrow I didnt think I would get in done. I cant believe she is so old!!! she is such a sweet heart. She has 4 teeth 2 top and 2 bottom, she is able to roll over and sit up but she mostly enjoys watching her brother. It is so sweet, all kade needs to do is get really close to her face and begin laughing and she will loose it. laughing like crazy. Kade thinks its a pretty fun trick... so do we. Hailey is such a joy, she loves to be held and cuddles just for fun. she has had a bit of a cold lately, but she is just that much more sweet. I love having a girl I love that she always Smiles when she see's me. I love Hailey!!!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!!

For those who don't know, Columbus Day in the States is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. People ask "what do you eat at Canadian Thanksgiving?"... Carabou steak, boiled sugar beats, and mush! have you ever tried to find Carabou Steaks in utah?? So we went with the traditional Turkey, mashed pototoes, gravey homemade rolls, yummy jello salad, and a delicous pumpkin dessert. it really was a treat to celebrate with my brothers and sister inlaw.

some more of recent september and october

These are more picture of us on our diabetes walk. well... after the walk at the zoo. our video of the walk is still to come... they provided lunch and hailey thought the apple looked like the perfect thing to sooth sore gums.

Yes, this is Kozmo, Mike, I mean kade was so excited to have his picture next to him.

who knew there was a play ground at the ZOO??

just some catching up...September

We had so much fun with some friends from mike work. we went up to their cabin and went four wheeling. well Mike and I did. we ran our of gas on one of our rides... and it got to dark so they didn't get a ride in... we are really good friends.

My sister inlaw Amber made a delicous cake for me, helped blow out the candles.

have you ever felt this way?

This weekend we went to Idaho and had a wonderful time with mikes Family. we celebrated mikes mom recieving "women of excellence" award. this women of the year award is really a big deal, and it was fun being there to show our love and support for her. it was a really quick trip, and I am kinda nazi about getting my kids out of seat belts in the car. so Hailey was soothed pretty much the entire way there, with me bending over the car seat- I was also in a seat belt... needless to say I have bruises on my ribs and hips from the carseat and seatbelts. I know what your thinking why bother right? I DON"T KNOW... we also only really could do one side so hence the picture above is how I felt the whole rest of the weekend. I think today was the first day I felt somewhat normal.. this may be too much information but you already read it. it's easier to ask for forgiveness...

We should listen to our children

This morning Kayden found me (Mike-yes I am actually updating the family blog, blog-say that ten times and it sure loses it's meaning, kind of like denim) in bed this morning. We could hear that Lord Percivel the Lion Heart, also known Percy, was barking outside. Wanting to get a few more minutes of sleep I told Kade to go tell Percy to be quite. Being the wonderfully obedient son that he is, he went straight down stairs to do so.

By this time Emily had gotten up and was speaking to her mother on the phone. Kade came back up and kept saying "dog". I said, "yes son, you told the dog to be quiet, well done". He then repeated it several more times and wanted to show me something. Wanting to study more of Lehi's dream I told him to just tell me what he wanted to show me, it didn't work for the two year old. He then went out of the room to talk to Emily and told her the same thing, again wanting to show her something.

After a few minutes I heard a loud "is Percy in the house," from the other room. Not many words get my attention so quickly, but the thought of a 75 lb canine rummaging through the living room spurred my attention. I leaped from the bed in a flash and spring for the stairs in a dash. By the time I got downstairs Em had the dog outside, but he had already stealthily taken out: one sandal-Em's favorite pair, a package of baby wipes, our grocery list, and Kade's toy car. Em was just grateful that nothing happened to her sandal, and I am just grateful that I didn't have a gun closer, or else i might have been writing a eulogy right now. (I really do like the dog, after all, he was down there unattended for several minutes and only took out a few items. I think he spent most of his time ready the Ensign that was on coffee, sorry, hot chocolate table. He takes his religion very seriously.)

What we think happened was that when Kade opened the door to shh Percy, he burst in knocky the poor two year old to the ground. All in all it could have been a lot worse. Moral of the story, we should listen to our children.

He Got It

Tuesday was a pretty big Day for both Kayden and Me. we need to go back a few days. Be bought a friend a truck for his birthday, and we thought it would be fun to get Kade one also so they could play together. Being stuck on principles as I am I couldn't "just give him a truck he had to earn it". so, we told kadyen he could have his truck if he was a big boy and went to preschool without crying. ( he loves preschool but he starts crying and throws a fit while I'm there but his teacher says the moment i'm gone he's fine). Thursday to Tuesday is really long, when you see your friend a few times and he has his truck and it always turns into tears because there is only ONE!! I almost caved a few times because I had my doubts that he could even handle a concept such as this. long story short... He definately did. tuesday morning he walked right up and said goodbye to me and that was that. thursday he brought his truck for show and tell and it was just as easy as tuesday. Moral of the story??? Kayden is alot smarter than I give him credit for.

few of our happenings

So Hailey is starting solids....

we have been very consistant and she still isn't enjoying it.

this morning getting ready for church Kayden crawled into bed with Hailey, he loves making her laugh.

I need to tell everyone

So, last week My sweet cousin had to endure an awful experience. Her adorable 1 yr old had his immunizations, and the next day she couldn't wake him up. for 2-3 days he was seizing and unable to respond. finally through a special miracle he was able to wake up and be somewhat of the baby they new. I am skipping allot of details. But what I feel I need to let people know is that the doctors where able to determine that it was in response to his immunizations that he had received the day before. He then proceeded to say that NO BABY should ever receive no more that 2 shots at a time. (at Hailey's last apt. she received 5 and I will never let that happen again.) The Doctor said they are working on changing the policy. so moms (and dads) you need to stand up for you kids. their body's cant handle so much at once. We are still waiting to see if there are any long term effects for cousins baby. I love that she received such a sweet miracle but I'm sad that she had to watch her sweet boy suffer. OK consider yourself warned.

A Very Funny Adventure

Looking at this picture, it might not meant very much to you. but just so you know that is a fireman climbing up a later and that person in the pink?? that is me! My Story begins on Thursday night when My friend Aubrey and I went to go clean a model home. we left about 8:30 and began our usual cleaning routine. nothing was really out of the ordinary till we both walked out onto this balcony and washed the windows. When Aubrey went to go in and said Uh-oh I thought she was joking. we were stranded on the second floor of this random model home. it was a weird feeling knowing that this really could be a big deal, but it was so funny that all I could to to keep from crying was LAUGH about it. it was so funny!! how incompetent are we? we said a prayer, it didn't open- I honestly thought it would. We Flagged a neighbor down who was very sweet checked all the windows and doors, we still weren't in. I luckily had my cell phone and finally called mike and told him the predicament I was in. all he did was laugh. my husband was home with our two kids a asleep and Aubrey's was home his their three. we talked about me climbing down but where would that get me. Mike called his good friend Travis who was so generous to come out and try to rescue us. though he put up a good fight.... so success. soon a Sheriff Pick up drove by that he flagged down, then because they seem to travel in packs another showed up. luckily still no lights to draw attention but quite the crowd forming on the ground. they said they wouldn't be able to break in for us though they were capable. the one said "we need to get these young ladies down" this point it was about 11:15. they decided to call the fire truck to use there ladder. it seem like forever, they soon came along with an ambulance, whom asked us about our well being. everyone was having a good laugh- us included. they soon found the perfect spot for the ladder, one climbed up and was about to escort us down, when they decided they needed to check the door. he then decided that with some "L" tool it would be really easy. after a few terrifying yanks on this tool the door became free. we had to go down and finish giving our information since they decided to file a report. so I don't know what that makes me...

overall it was a very memorable experience. it was so fun, except there was allot of people just watching. I just kept thinking how awful it would be to be an animal in a zoo. Aubrey was a wonderful person to be stranded with. it was fun almost panicking with her. though we didn't receive an instant blessing of the door opening, I feel it was a blessing that it was a great night, great company and well we now have a memory I hope just brought us closer as friends. I am grateful for a blessing such as this one. a fun memory, a funny story and a great friend.

and no one was hurt, though i was really close to trying to climb down... glad I didn't.

Our little Preschooler

So, Kayden is in preschool. he has class twice a week and even though he gets nervous at the beginning. he always comes away loving it. it has really been amazing because I know kayden has the ability to speak but within the last week of preschool he has been more vocal than ever. He is in a class of all boys and it has been so fun. his teacher miss Karli, has a blog if your interested in checking out his curriculum.

First Comes Love...
