My little Princess....

I have been obsessed with digital scrapbooking, its the one thing i enjoy doing at night while my little ones are sound asleep. my goal is to have everything caught by the time i have the baby, does anyone have some great 12 by 12 printing advice? Costco the best? so here are some pages of my silly little Princess, who makes me laugh every single day! I am so thankful for my little Kylee! I cant believe she is almost two!

JULY.... where did it go?

This summer has flown by, being in the 2nd trimester, feeling pretty good the last few months, it seems to have passed quickly! now for the next 3 months....

A few things we have been up to...
backyard fun, pretty often, at least when we can go outside without scourching!
(you can click on pictures to enlarge)

SWIM LESSONS...
Kaden loves his teacher whos name is also Kaden, and loves wearing his goggles:)

FISHING WITH GRANDPA...
always a blast, he actually held it by hand at the end, but its on my moms camera. so fun!


GIRLS CAMP!
just got back and had a blast! what a adorable group of girls in our ward, and that doesnt even show them all. (or the leaders) it was a fun couple days!!

ok, everyone has been asking for a belly pic i dont know why, so here it is, yes i do have a little belly. it sure feels bigger than it looks:)

our summer so far....

Just a few pics of our Memorial day, days in the sun, and wonderful Lake Powell, where we met my family for my birthday a couple weeks ago! so fun and relaxing, although way too short! (click on picture to start and make full screen or pics will be really small, which is ok with me since im in them:)! (when screen appears, you have to click on the little arrow to turn pages!)

Happy Fathers Day....

I just need to take a minute and express my love to two people today, first my honey of 7 years, and also my dad!
First, Nick is the best Father! always so patient, loving, fun, just adores his kids and a great dad. He will change a diaper before i even realize its a bad one! This spring he has taught Kaden how to golf, and KAden is obsessed! they have so much fun together and Kaden has a whole new bond with Daddy! it is so cute! they are buddies. Nick and Kylee have always had a special bond and Nick is so protective of her. Not only is he a good father, but a wonderful husband, the most trustworthy, loyal, loving, honest, unselfish man in the world! I am lucky to have found such a wonderful guy to spend forever with! I could go on and on but he probably wouldnt like it:) We love you Happy Fathers day!!

And then there is my DAD.....

what a guy! he can do it all, and to top it off, he is the perfect Dad and Grandpa too! the man is good at everything he tries. My kids adore him, i do, he is just so much fun! The kids love to play with Grandpa, especially Kaden because Grandpa takes him lots of fun places. My dad will bring the four wheeler down, just so he can take Kaden on a ride. He is a cute Grandpa, and a wonderful supportive, loving Father! thanks dad for teaching me all that you have. He taught me how to work hard, get my hands dirty, manage money, be responsible and so on and on! he is a amazing person! thanks DAD and Happy FAthers Day! We love you:)

Guess what were having?.......

YES, It is a GIRL! no suprise i have been way too sick. thats what girls i guess do to me, but it is worth it!

We decided to do what my Sis in Law does to make it fun, and had the nurse not tell us what it was in the ultrasound. I had her write it down on a paper and tape it up. then i took it to the bakery and had them decorate a "pink or blue" cake and box it up so i could not see it.

My family came into town that night on their way to Lake Powell, took us to dinner, and after we all opened the box together to reveal our big suprise! It was fun, even Kaden says he wants another sister. he is so cute with Kylee! hopefully with them being two years apart, there wont be too much 'drama" in high school together! jk
I have always wanted a sister, so at least Kylee will get a close forever friend!

Kadens a grad!! now what??...play!

Kaden is actually sad to be done with preschool. He loves it, and is mr. social. i will have to keep him very busy this summer.... here is some pics of his graduation. They all had a lot of fun this year, and he is proud of his "hat" :)

When my fam was here we took the kids to the main street park, which has waterfalls, fountains and flowers, all of Kylees favorites, and let them splash around. My brother, the amazing photographer, took some of the most adorable, memorable, amazing pictures! here is just a few out of hundreds! Enjoy! you can click on picture to enlarge!







Thanks Cody, you are amazing!

Springtime....

Spring pictures so far, well spring is almost over here. It is hitting 100 degrees here this weekend, which is now summer in my book, and Kaden graduates preschool next week once again, and will again next year, missing the deadline and doing preschool over again. he is going to be one smart and ready kid!

You can count on my mom to be here about every three weeks or so cause she misses the kids so bad, this time Grandpa came! brought his four wheeler just for Kaden and we also hit Sand Hollow lake! so fun! Uncle Cody also came which makes it even funner, the more the merrier! We also like to go to home depot and do the kid classes, and we lucked out having them here to help this time!! Leave it to Grandpa to put something together in seconds!! fun times!

I never posted Easter pics for the fam, so here is some of Our easter egg hunt (which it rained hard, and you can see it didnt affect the kids one bit) they had a blast! Kylee thought this was the best holiday ever! Candy eveywhere!

Easter morning, as good as I could do picture wise seeing how they wouldnt hold still, all doped up on sugar! gotta love it!
