Easter

We had a really nice Easter. On Sat. we went to the city easter egg hunt, but it was raining and cold and over in like 2 seconds, so that was kind of a bummer. But we had another one on Sun at Kade's parents, and my kids got a ton of candy, and so of course they loved it. It's been a tradition for the last few years that my family goes to Kade's family's house for Easter dinner. Our families are really close, and we always have a good time, and it's nice because we get to spend it with both families. My kids did not want to coperate with pictures that day, the older Kyler gets the less pictures I have because he won't sit still long enough.

Rylie's Dance

Last week Rylie and her best friend Chaisey, did a dance camp at Desert Hills High school, her aunt Jesse is on the dance team so we thought it would be fun for them, and it was, they loved it! They had a performance friday night and loved it, she's always loved being on stage, she loves to have the attention on her, it was really cute!

Pirate Island

Last weekend we went with the Milne's to pirtare isalnd pizza. It was our first time there and it was really fun, it was set up so cute, it reminded me of the pirates of the caribean ride at Disnyland. Those who haven't been should go, it's a fun thing to do with the kids, they loved it!

My little trouble maker

So Kyler is always getting into something, and this day he found a fun bag of flour to play in. He was pretty proud of himself. He was laughing, he just thought he was so funny, and with me laughing and taking pictures, that didn't really help him know that he shouldn't play in flour!

Girlfriends

Whether you're 5 or 25, its great to have girlfriends! I have such good friends who are always there for me. I love spending time with these girls, we always have a blast! It was Danielle's birthday so it was a good excuse to have a girls night, and we had so much fun. We usually can't stop talking and get in trouble with our husbands because we're out so late. I'm so glad I met Brandy and Danielle, my life would be a lot more boring without them.

January Happenings!

I haven't been blogging lately, kinda busy so here's an overview of our January.
Kya is getting bigger, and fast! I think we finally have her potty trained. But she is wild, and gets too rough with the kids, so we are working on that now. But we have liked having her, well me and the kids anyway!

Rylie started taking gymnastics at the first of the year at the Washington rec center. She loves it! And she's good at it too! I thought it would be a good way to channel her energy. It is awesome, I am really happy with it, and how she has progressed allready. (I accidentaly posted the same picture twice)

Kade turned 26, and I made him the yummiest ice cream cake that probably gives you your whole day calorie intake in one slice! He wasn't happy about turning 26 but the cake helped him feel better.

Kyler's hair was getting a little long and shaggy, so he had his first real haircut by Brandy. He would not sit still at all, but she did a great job, it looks so cute, thanks Brandy!

After his haricut. When Kyler hears Kade's work truck pull up he runs to the window and stands on the chair to look out.

Kyler allready has a love for dirt bikes and fourweelers. He's been getting rides since he was 6 months old. So now he thinks he big enough to be on by himself. He also loves helping dad fix things with tools, they like to hang out in the garage together allready.

Merry Christmas!

The newest member of our family, Kya.
So we decided to do it, we got a puppy. She is a 7 week old brindle boxer. She has been a lot of fun, the kids love her. It is definitely a lot of work though, I felt like I had a new baby, but I'm getting used to it now.

Rylie was so surprised! we woke up early, put the puppy in a box under the tree, and I thought her crying would wake Rylie up, it didn't so we went in and said, Rylie you have a box under the tree and it's making weird noises, come see. So right when we came in Kya popped the top of the box and jumped out, so cute! What she really wanted for Christmas was tinkerbell's real magic, which she had all sorts of plans for (that's what she asked santa for) but she hasn't complained about not getting that. She did say, "maybe santa should of brought us a puppy that didn't bite".

Kyler wanted santa's left overs, that's what he was most concerned about. He's looking around to see if anyone's watching him.

We had a great Christmas. Christmas eve we always go to a family party with my family, and my aunt and cousins, we had a great time. We live in the same town but never get to see each other, so it's always fun to get together with them. It's turning into a pretty big group now that we're all getting married and having kids, but that makes it even funner!
On Christmas morning we do our own thing, we open presents and make a big breakfast. The kids had such a fun morning cuz of the puppy and Kyler really liked opening his and everyone else's presents that I had been trying to keep him out of for weeks. Then we go over to my parent's and exchange gifts, and then to Kade's parents to exchange gifts. Then we come home for awhile and then go back to Kade's parents for Christmas dinner. It's kind of a crazy busy day for us, but we're totally spoiled with gifts and food all day. It's great to be loved!
