fun continued

We went to thankgiving point with our friend Katie and her son Jack who is 10 mo. This is a picture of a little boy enjoying a pony ride!!!




















Kade didn't have as much fun. I decided that it didn't look very good walking next to a horse and carrying him, so after walking around the circle twice, I gave up.

on Friday night Mike had a company softball game. We had just arrived and I was making sure kayden was ok on the play set when I hear that mike had been hit. He had blood everywhere. immediately I thought we needed to go get it looked at, but it wasn't till he got the consensus from the team did we go. 2 1/2 hours later and 12 stiches we made it home.

no post is complete without a picture of hailey, here she is all ready for church. first time sporting a bow. and shoes.

Fun in the sun

Wednesday we went down to provo and spent time with Uncle spencer. We fed the ducks!!!
Uncle spence also caught a turtle a few actually, this big one and then a small one, I don't know if one was a baby or just a differnt bread













Kayden had fun chasing the ducks, this one inparticular was so fat that Kade actually could have caught it if I had let him.

Baby Hailey

I feel like the pictures of Kayden sometimes are more entertaining for others, becuase he can do more. but I want to pay tribute to our sweet little Hailey because she really is such a sweet heart and talking so much.

Happy Fathers Day

well, I have sad story to share...

this Last weekend we decided to go a cheaper route and not go to mikes work party at lagoon. after adding up all the expenses the day would bring, we decided it really wasn't sounding all that exciting anyway. instead we chose to go on a hike up Provo canyon to Stuart falls. (Mikes a sucker for water falls.) on the way there mike asked me to delete some pictures from the camera so we could take some. we had my younger yet handsome brother ( just a plug Spence for all my single friends out there) with us and we really did have a blast!! both kids did great and so did Kayden and Hailey Ha ha.. I got a little crazy on the way down and by the time we got there I had deleted about a hundred pictures off the camera... then is said battery exhausted. to the really sad part of the story is... Last night mike was saying "it's no big deal, we will just have to hike it again to get some pictures" it was a nice hike, even fun, I promise. but, couldn't he give me a week to recover, then suggest it?? well anyway it looks like we are going again soon. but no we didn't get a single picture from the falls and it was all my fault.

I do want to say to my wonderful husband that even though the dinner was a bust, breakfast in bed was a bust and well all he got for fathers day was Socks.... I love him dearly, he is the best father and husband and best friend that I could ask for. I am always wondering if I really deserve such a wonderful man. thank you and happy fathers day... sorry it was such a bust!

As far at the this picture, I felt pressure to put one up and this one is Kayden faking asleep on his dad pick up.

This Week

It has been a very interesting week for us. It's amazing how life takes you for loops and you just flow with it. For a week that started out to be nothing of consequence it sure didn't end that way. I began this week with a little bit of a head cold, that though everyday I was feeling a little better, it just sucks to be sick and a mom at the same time. Kayden officially can ride his TWO wheel bike ( yes, there are training wheel) and no he hasn't gotten the turning around part down, so quite frequently I was seen Running like a maniac down our side walk because Kayden was out of yelling range... and the words "turn around" I don't think have any meaning to him. the other day Mike left for work, this particular morning kayden was up and was sad to see mike go. and if it wasn't hard enough Mike came back, talk about putting salt in the wound. apparently on his way to work some belt fell off and then the power steering went out and well we are don't to one car again. we also went over our budget and have again set new goals to actually stick to it. good thing i don't have a car to tempt me. the other strange thing this week is Kayden, He is so excited for mike to be home and then when mike finally comes home, he is a completely different boy. almost miserable to be around. crying for no apparent reason, but constantly saying "dad" even when dad has him. we need to do more research on this.
anyway we have had fun in the sun and wind and look forward to another adventure next week.
pictures are coming soon.

Lately

Kayden was being a little bit creative. He did this, I'm sure it isn't safe but It took so much work. He was pretty proud of himself.

Here is baby Hailey, she is so sweet, this was taken on the 10Th so it kinda isn't even up to date.

Taking a bath. Kayden thinks it is pretty cool to have company in the tub.

Uncle Spencer and kayden. we went up to American fork Canyon, there wasn't much there but kayden and Spencer made the best of it.

We also went to "Jump on it" a ware house type place that had tons of trampolines, and mike took this picture of me. Amber and Spencer are in the background.

basically we have been having lots of fun here in Utah. we are healthy and happy. We are definitely being watched over.

we love and miss all a friends and family that are not with us.

Getting to know you....
