Swim Lessons

Cade started swim lesson for the very first time today. I really wondered if I should put him in because he hates getting his head/eyes wet. I thought he was going to have a hard time and not want to do anything that his teacher asked him to do. Boy was I wrong, he did great! He had a ton of fun. I am so proud of him and love him so much.







Warhawk Air Museum

This last Saturday we had a fun family day and went to the Warhawk Air Museum. The boys had a blast looking at all the airplanes and old cars. Its always great to spend time together as a family.

Spring Break in Wyoming!

We spent spring break in Wyoming at my parents cabin. We had a fun time, except for the fact that my poor parents and Jordyn were sick most of the time we were there. I was actually surprised when we got there how much snow was still on the ground. The boys had fun playing in and eating the snow. My sister, Tia and her daughter Kirstyn came up there too. Cade just had a blast playing with Kirstyn. They played resturant, aquarium, school, and everything else you can think of. One day we got the snowmobile out, but the snow was just to slushy to ride. So instead we got the four-wheelers out and had a lot of fun, though it was really cold. One night we even played musical chairs and duck, duck, goose (no pictures as I was playing and forgot to pull out the camera). Cade had never played musical chairs and had a blast when he was still in the game and if he won, but when he got out, boy did he get upset. Overall we had a wonderful time and enjoyed spending time with family.

Papa, Kirstyn and Cade playing school. Kirstyn was the teacher.

One day Tia and I took the kids to burger king and they played on the playground. Cade is very afraid of going on these. Kirstyn was so nice and helped him a couple of times and then Cade realized that it wasn't scary and that it was fun and did it by himself. Jake on the other hand has no fear, but is still to small to get up it. Kirstyn helped him get up it several times. Thanks Kirstyn!







This is Cade eating the snow. He thought it was much easier to just stick his face in the snow then to pick it up with his hands.



This was a big pile of snow that Kirstyn and Cade would climb up and then slide down.

Trip to Grandma and Papa Kuykendall's!

Pictures, pictures and more pictures! Several weeks ago the boys and I flew down to Albuquerque, NM for a day and got to see Brittany, Sam and their kids. Brittany just had a brand new baby boy named Scott. He is so cute and we had a good time visiting with them. Then my mom, me and the boys drove down to El Paso and surprised my dad and sister, Jordyn.


We had a blast in El Paso hanging out with my family. Here are some of the pictures of all the fun we had. Cade playing rock band.


Going out to dinner. Jake through a nice big temper tantrum while we were there. It gave my parents a good laugh, me not so much.


Jake having fun playing in the puddle of water.



Cade spent most of his time right here on the trampoline.





Papa and Cade dressed really nice for church. Cade wanted to wear a tie just like Papa.


One day my mom and I went to take the boys to the science museum. We park, pay $2.00 for the parking meter and walk up to the doors and WHAT, yup they were closed that day. We decided to go the outlet mall and here is what we found. The boys had a blast playing on the slide and the other toys there. I think they had more fun here then they would have had at the science museum.




The boys loved hanging out with Aunt Jordyn


Papa was reading a book to the boys called "Because a Little Bug went Ka-CHOO!" Papa makes this book so much fun to read. This was by far my most favorite book when I was a little girl.


The boys, me, Grandma and Grandma Gietz(a close family friend) went to the zoo one and day. It was a beautiful day and we had a good time looking at all the animals.






After we had been there for about a week, Devon and her family, Brad and Katie and Uncle Kerby and Mary Jo came down for my dads birthday. It was a fun surprise for my dad. Cade, Jake and Preston had such a good time playing together. Boys being boys! What is more fun then jumping on the bed.

Celebrating Papa's birthday!



This is a video of Papa reading the book, "Because a Little Bug went Ka-CHOO!". Jake wouldn't sit still, so he is not in the video.
