December Adventures!!!!

I am finally posting about all our fun activities we did during the Christmas holidays. We went to go see Santa this year at Cabellas and Cade was so excited to tell Santa what he wanted(Gordon the train), Jake on the other hand didn't like Santa so Drew had to get in the picture with him. For Christmas Eve we had several families over to our house and enjoyed a wonderful dinner and then did the Christmas play. Cade was a wiseman and Jake was the donkey. After the play each family decorated a gingerbread house. After everyone left the boys got to open a present, which was disney car pj's with car sleepers. Overall we had a great Christmas.

After a wonderful Christmas, the kids and I headed over to my parents cabin in WY. Drew had to stay and work (we sure missed him). My parents, Jordyn, Devon and her two kids, and Brad and Katie were all there. We all had such a good time together. We went snowmobiling, sledding, played in the snow and just hung out.

We left the cabin on New Years Day and all drove over to Twin Falls to go see my Grandma Kuykendall.

After Twin Falls, Devon and her two kids came to my house. We had such a good time. The kids had so much fun with eachother.

Happy Halloween!

We had a wonderful halloween this year. We went up to Portland to go see one of Drew's sisters. The boys had so much fun playing and trick or treating with her kids. My two little monsters were sulley and mike from monsters inc.

Cade's 1st day of preschool picture and him playing soccer

I am finally updating my blog. These pictures are back from September 8th when Cade started preschool. He loves going. Jake and I sure miss him when he is there, but we enjoy having that time alone together.

Cade just finished up playing soccer at the YMCA. He just had the class three times and it was just to teach the kids the rules and how to play the game. He had so much fun running around and scoring goals.

Pumpkinliner

A couple of weeks ago Drew, the boys and I went on a train ride to a pumpkin patch. We had so much together. We got on the train and rode it for about an hour and then got off at a pumpkin patch. We each got to pick out our own pumpkins. On our train ride back we had a good time eating popcorn, hotdogs and lots and lots of candy.

Cade's 4th Birthday!!!!

We had such a wonderful day celebrating Cade's 4th birthday. We started off the morning with Cade's request for chocolate pancakes for breakfast (I know very nutritious). Then Cade, Jake and I headed off to a jumping balloon place called monkey bizness. The boys and I had so much fun going on the slides, jumping around and going through the obstacle course. Later on that evening we had his birthday party. Cade invited 4 friends over and they had a blast. I set up a jumping balloon in the back yard along with this tent/tunnel play thing. We had pizza, a dinosar cake, played pin the tail on the donkey and had a pinata. Happy Birthday Cade, we are so grateful that you are a part of our family. You bring so much joy into our lives, we love you.

Jaker's turns 2!!!!!!

My little Jake turned 2 today! I can't believe how time flies. He is now my little parrot and repeats anything anyone says. He is such a sweet, fun, loving little boy and I am so grateful to have him as my son. Here are some pictures of him from this last year. We love you Jake!

For Jake's birthday today we just hung out as a family. We went to a place called Rafiki. It is this big place with tons of toys, a big climbing thing with a slide and much more. Jake had a blast. We then went and ate pizza and then came home and opened presents. He had a ton of fun with that. Then we ate his fire truck birthday cake and played in the sprinklers outside. We had a such a wonderful day. Happy Birthday Jake, we LOVE you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
