For Mother's Day and Kaden's Birthday, we went camping. It was really fun. This is Kaden's SURPRISE bike! Then I made him a cake!

For Kaden's 9th Birthday we went Bowling! The kids had fun, I think it was a lot funner to play the video games. Then they had cupcakes, and opened presents!

Hersheys Track & Field Day

This was Kaden's first track & field day. The day started out cold and windy! Eli was great. He stayed bundled in his blanket and played his leapster. Trevin on the other hand cried the whole time. Even though I was holding him the entire time! Kaden had fun even though he was probably last in every event. I told him I was proud of him just for trying. I did leave early, because of Trevin, so I missed the soft ball throw. But I got some good pictures of the long jump. None on the actual run. And not because he was so fast :) I just had a crying baby in my arms:( GOOD JOB KADEN! I"M SO PROUD OF YOU

Bigger and bigger every day!

I know, not another one!! But they are so cute!! Well not as much at this stage. Their feathers were kinda fuzzy and gross looking, but there starting to look a lot better. Black gave us a scare. Friday last week he wasn't walking much, and when he did it was with a limp. Kaden was almost in tears, wanting to take it to the vet. Ha ha don't think so! But he is doing much better walking around on it. And Kaden is still out there every morning and after school making sure it has water, and food. Next step..... maybe a dog???

The boys have discovered the Skate Park!!!!!!!!

Last Sunday we took the boys to the one is Springville and Spanish. I have to say the one in Spanish is a lot better. At least for my kids it is. Now that's all they want to do. It's pretty funny watching them. And I think Eli is a little more daring than Kaden. When we got to the skate park, there was some older teenagers there, and Kaden asks "mom why do the boys take their shirts off ?" I was laughing when I told him "because they're trying to impress the girls. When you get older you'll do the same thing." He goes "eww gross!! I will not"

Up Date on Duck's

Panchito and Blacksmith (changed into blacky) are doing great.

They are almost 3 weeks old and I swear have tripled in size. We have them fenced in under the tramp and they are loving it. Kaden does really good about changing their water and feeding them. He says "Mom I'm going to do my chores". I wish he was that happy about doing his chores inside. Eli still doesn't want to touch them. He just watches Kaden do it all.

So ThuRSdaY Morning, bright and early, Manny, Kaden , and Eli head down to Cal-Ranch to purchase some ducks!!! This is what they came home with. As long as it doesn't stink and I don't have to clean up a thing, I guess we're all happy!

Trevin's been pretty good about leaving the Duck's alone and the boys love holding, and checking up on them. Their names are Blacksmith(the all black one), and Panchito (the one with yellow).

My mom does a EAsTer egG HuNt every year at her house. This year she expanded out into the field, and also had confetti filled eggs we threw at each other. Thanks Mom for a FUn daY!!!

After my mom's EaSteR eGg HUnT we went back to my

house to color eggs! A lot of work but well worth it!!

We had a nice, peaceful, Easter. The kids got a Wii game, and

a leapster. They spent most the day playing that. I took a nice nap, and made a wonderful dinner! Hope everyone's was just as GrEAt!

On St. Patties Day I made gReeN pancakes, eggs, and drank GrEEn milk. Eli was not having it,as you can see by his face. I told him to pose for the picture and I would make him normal ones. Trevin gobbled up the eggs!!

This picture speaks for itself!!!!!!!!

Since we got a little bit of good weather, we all pitched in to do a little yard work, and get a little sun.

My best friend Amber, from high school, was sealed to her family in the Timpanogos Temple. I am so proud of her, and her accomplishments.

COLBY'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I'm still playing catch up but I really wanted to post these of my nephew. He is such a great kid, him and his brother are a good help to their mom. We had a combined Super Bowl and Birthday since they were right next together. I hope you had a great Birthday Colby. we love you!

JAZZ GAME!!!! AND KARATE!!!! So I know this was a while ago, but it's taking me this long to fix all the pictures and get them posted. I really wanted to post them because I'm so proud of Kaden. I love to watch all he has learned "slowly but surly" and hope he continues to learn more. They got the chance to preform at the Jazz half time show. So these are some fun pictures me and Kaden both took. He actually does a good job. I took a few of Boozer, my sister Laura thinks he looks like Manny. I think Manny is better looking :)

Papa and Grandma Jay were able come. I'm glad they got to see Kaden perform.

On top is the OMEGA Payson team, the ones who participated, the bottom is all of them together.

They did such a good job. It was awesome to see them.

Waiting to go out on the floor at half time.

Where's Kaden!!!

The team went up the night before to practice, and this is video of that. One of Kaden's friend's mom took him and recorded this. I was very grateful, since I only got a couple of pictures. It is a little long, but I edited down. The things they do are so cool!

One of the great parts of Christmas morning is laying in bed listening to the kids ooh! and aah! over what they got in there stockings. There innocent comments about what Santa brought them. Of course then you have to get out of bed because they want to open more! I hope all of you had a great Christmas!

Making Christmas cookies for Santa! The kids love to help, some times a little to much.

This is our Party with my Mom and Dave. We played Christmas Pictionary, then opened gifts. My Mom got each family a Glow Dome, which turned out pretty cool. The kids like to turn it on like a night light.

Since things are so busy before Christmas, we had my Dad and Jay's Party after this year. It's great to have gifts to open after Christmas. 2 big hits,(it seems to becoming a tradition) long sleeve 2 Jack shirts, and McDonald gift certificates. Now the kids can buy their own Happy Meals

Kaden's 3rd grade Christmas Program! Of course this is weeks ago, but I can't seem to catch up. Hopefully soon I can get my Christmas pictures up, and not get to far behind. Kaden did such a great job, and was so excited about singing Christmas songs. He's growing up fast, and is such a cutie. The boy next to him is his friend. He was so excited to finally be in the same class with him this year. This top picture, Kaden is in the back of the sled "What a shorty"
