Caden's Ski Day

We took Caden skiing for the first time the other day. He was so stinkin cute! I was very proud of him. He actually did pretty good. Mikes mom and dad came with us. She was an excellent teacher. I normally snowboard but I decided that it would be easier on me and the baby if I skiied this time. I haven't skiied for like 14 years but it came right back. We had a really good time. After a couple hours little caden was totally done. He couldn't even stand up his legs were so tired so he and I went and hung out in the lodge while the others went on a few more runs. He was such a little trouper!

Getting off the chairlift. He was so excited to ride the charilift! He kept counting the poles the whole way up.

The First Snow

I found these pics the other day and I thought they were pretty cute. They were so excited the first time it snowed the played in it all afternoon.

Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. The kids are at really fun ages. They were so excited to go to bed on Christmas eve. We spent Christmas with the Mendenhalls this year. All of Mikes family was home except Brooke and we missed her. It was crazy and a lot of fun. We were very spoiled this year. I'm so greatful to have everything that we have. We are very blessed.


Livvy and her new kitchen

Caden and his criss cross crash. Its all he talked about for like 2 months before Christmas. He was very excited.

Livvy and her new baby. I think she liked the 10 dollar baby more than the kitchen. Oh well!

I love their faces in this picture

Pumpkin Carving and Halloween

Halloween this year was really fun. The kids are starting to get old enough to get excited about everything. Livvy was a "Caterina" cat/ ballerina and Caden was a fireman. We headed up to grandmas house in Rexburg to do our trick or treating. They both loaded up.

Baby Number 3!

Ready or not here comes baby number three! Yes I am officially announcing (for those of you who don't already know) that baby number three is on its way. I am due May 27 so I'm only about 10 weeks. I have to admit that I'm a little nervous for 3 kids but I think I'm ready to have another little one around.

Other than that not much has been going around here I am sad that summer is officially over. But I love the fall and all the fun hollidays that are comming.

I'll try to be better at blogging and have baby updates!

4th of July

For the 4th of July this year we went up to the cabin. I was a little bit sad at first because 4th of July is my favorite holiday. But it was so worth it. We had a really good time. They start out with a 4 wheeler parade. Everyone on the Island decorates their 4 wheelers. Then later they had a boat parade. Everyone decorates their boats and drives around the lake. Then they all meet up and have a big fire works show on the lake. The fireworks were my favorite part. It was absolutly gorgous sitting in the boat on the lake. You could see the refelection of the fireworks on the water. I hope we can do it again next year.

This fire work was kindof an accident. It blew up before it could get up in the sky so it was kindof scarry! But pretty cool looking too.

I love these girls!

A few weeks ago I got together with my friends from high school. We had so much fun. My friend Kassie who now lives in Arizona came to visit so we got together several times during the week. This pic is at Rigby Lake. We also went to the Rexburg spray park and to Tara's beautiful new home. I am proud have in such an awesome group of friends. They are all such cute good moms. We don't get to see eachother very often but when we do its just like the old times!
