HaPpY BiRtHdAy CaDeN!!

So Mr. Caden had a birthday yesterday! We celebrated together as a family and he opened presents before Adam had to go to work. Cades didn't have school, so he was able to stay home and enjoy his new presents!

We used some pizza coupons and went out to lunch. Soon after we got home, he had a surprise visit from Ben and his family from Kuna. We had birthday cake and ice cream and they all enjoyed playing together.

Happy Birthday Cades - Love ya!

1st GRADE!

So today was the BIG day for all of us!

Caden is now in 1st grade! I couldn't believe this day finally came. He was so excited to go and was really looking forward to......... eating in the cafeteria! Not so much excited about their food, but excited that he could take his NEW lunch bag with his cold lunch to school!! He's funny!

So when I picked him up today I asked him what his favorite thing is about 1st grade and he said....... yep, you guessed it -- eating in the cafeteria!! I guess there's something about eating your familiar food in a new place! His second favorite was having lots of recesses!

Here's a picture of Caden and Brooke. She's in our ward and they were in the same kindergarten class together. They are so cute!

Here's to a new lunch bag, having THREE recesses (instead of 1), and eating in the cafeteria!

I love you Cades! :)

Brothers With Some Spike!

Yesterday Tanner was intrigued with making his hair "sPiKeY" so I asked him if I could take his picture since he doesn't like it done like this too often. I thought if Gabe were in the picture he'd let me take it!

Our Little Man!

Gabe is growing up quickly and it's hard to believe his one year old birthday is coming soon.

He is army crawling REALLY fast all over the house and his newest talent is scaling the stairs. He LOVES to pick up anything off the floor and insert it into his mouth! (He does best at finding the smallest pieces of who knows what). He would rather do this all day than play with boring toys. He's so funny and we are so grateful he's in our family!

Yesterday Gabe was ready for a nap, and I was in the middle of trying to get something done before I layed him down. After putting him down on the floor I looked over one minute later and Gabe was already going nigh nigh. He was ready and I was too late! My kids NEVER do this, so I had to take a picture of it to remember it!

Twin Falls Open House

On August 4th we took a trip to Twin Falls to go through the new temple. We met Papa and Nana there and toured the temple together. It was a special opportunity to show the boys the temple. Afterwords Caden was just as excited to change into his play clothes as he was to see Papa and Nana! It was a great day!

We've Arrived!

So it's about time! We've arrived to the blogging world! Yeah! It will be a work in progress as I am very new to this and really have no idea how to do it, but I am just trying things out at this point.

We hope you enjoy visiting and keeping updated on our family!
