Family night fishing

Tonight for family night we went up Provo Canyon for a little fishing at Vivian Park. The boys love to fish just like their dad. You would never guess what we used for bait. Believe it or not but Velveeta Cheese was a hit. Every cast the cheese was eaten, but the fish got smart and figured out how to eat the cheese without being hooked.

The boys have no problem reaching in and grabbing the fish . Sometimes they can't keep a good grip on them though.

Kyle was proud of this one. He caught the biggest fish of the day. You should have seen him reel it in all by himself.

We only kept four fish, but we caught about 10 or 12 in a couple of hours.

Chickens, Chickens, Chickens!

For those of you who didn't know, or didn't believe, yes we do have chickens. 27 to be exact! Half are egg laying chicks and half are meat eating chickens. In about a month the meat ones will be ready to eat and in the December we should start getting eggs. Only my husband would figure out a way to have chickens while living in a condo.

Boys will be boys!

This is what happens when the sprinklers are on too long. Mud, water, and a bike, in little boy minds, equals this...

Thanksgiving Point Gardens

The boys and I went to the children's gardens on Tuesday for their two dollar days. It rained off and on that day but it was still fun. We also went to the adult gardens later that night with Adam. Next Tuesday we plan on going to the dinosaur museum. Kaden and Kyle love this bear. We had to get a picture of them on it.

3 more months to go!

For those of you who have been asking for pregnancy pictures here they are. This little girl seems to be growing nicely.

4 months

6 months

Only 3 more months to go. We are excited for our little girl to join our family. In the next couple of months I plan on decorating the nursery, so I'll update you with pictures then.

Four Year Old Boys!

Last Saturday Kaden got the official first bee sting of the summer. After the hour of crying and cleaning the sting everything went back to normal. However, Sunday morning we woke up to his finger looking like this. It was so swollen I don't think it could stretch anymore. After a few days and lots of Benadryl, the swelling went down leaving only stretch marks on his finger.


The next injury of the week was on Friday when Kaden was playing with an arrow stick( the arrowhead was taken off thank heavens) and jabbed himself in the eye. Looks like he popped a blood vessel but no permanent damage. I'm glad we are having a girl next. I don't know if I could survive two more four year old boys.

First Article of Faith

Kaden's Primary leaders have asked the children to learn all the articles of faith. Last week Kaden memorized the first article of faith. We are proud of how fast he could memorize it, even though in the video he got a little help from Kyle. By the way, Kyle memorized it also. We will have to get video of Kyle next time. This week we are working on the second article of faith.

Kaden's dance moves

Here is Kaden showing off some of his latest dance moves.

What Studs

Kaden and Kyle were looking handsome for church we had to take some pictures. They grow up so fast. I can't believe we will being adding a girl to the mix soon.

Fun with Cousins

After we got back from California we had a little girl only family reunion. Lisa came down from Boise, and Lindsey and my mom came from California. We spent time at my Great Grandpa's house and then went to Cherry Hill campgrounds.

Here we are swimming at Great Grandma's pool in Saratoga Springs.

Everyone loves a sleepover! Especially Ashley!
