Halloween!

2011-11-13T14:26:00.011-06:00

Wow we have been so busy lately! Sorry it's taken so long to post but here it is Han! Kayson was practicing his picture taking abilities! He always wants to use the camera!

Yesterday we were just hanging out at home and the boys made a big bed to snuggle with Griff!

Cade is so funny! We caught him doing this last week. He is tickling his armpit with one hand and I asked him what he was doing? He said playing the guitar! He plays an awesome armpit guitar!

They love to pretend to play their guitars!

My sweet baby found his thumb! I don't want to break him of the habit later on but it sure is pretty dang cute for the time being!

Here is my cute little Giraffe for Halloween!

Here is Cade as Thor!

And Kayson as Captain America!

Fierce!

I am so proud of Kayson and how he's doing in school! He was the top AR Reader in his entire grade, and he was 23rd in the whole school from K-8th grade! I'm so proud of him. He is reading pretty well! Here is his name on the board at school! He also got student of the month for November for preK- 2nd grade! Way to go Kays!

We carved pumpkins with Grandma and Grandpa Boyle when they were here but they went bad before Halloween so second time around we decided to paint! Much better!

This picture has a sweet story. I was kinda being a mean mom one day, and Kays was being a mean brother. Cade was totally left out and crying all day. I felt so bad for him. Well we went to the store and came home and I was once again yelling at him and made him sad so he went and laid by Griffin and was holding his hand. I went out to get the groceries and came back in and poor Cade was crying to Griff telling him that "nobody loves me." He said, "nobody wants to play with me." It broke my heart. Poor guy. But I had to take a picture cause I thought it was so sweet that he was confiding in his little brother!

Griffin's Blessing and Pumpkin Patch Fun!

2011-10-23T20:47:00.015-05:00

So I'm finally posting and there is a ton of pictures. I probably take too many but I sure love my boys! Griffin was blessed on Oct. 9, 2011! It was a fun day! We had our good friends Luke and Kelsey Allen come from Harrogate and Grandma and Grandpa Boyle came too! He was happy through the whole blessing so that was a relief! We have been so busy with life lately! Here's what we've been up to!

He is missing a shoe but I wasn't about to wake him up to put it back on!

As you can see we only had one happy child at the time, and the funny thing is he's usually the onry one!

He's so fat its easy to love on him!

He hates being all dressed for church but he looks so cute I have to put him through the torture.

Griff absolutely loves his big brothers! He gives them pretty big smiles all the time!

We found a really fun pumpkin patch and corn maze for the boys. They sure had fun with Grandma and Grandpa! Daddy didn't get to go though so we went back the next weekend with Dad!

Cade's straining to hold up his pumpkin!

Kays was pretty proud of his pumpkin! He searched for the biggest one he could find!

Dang aren't my boys good lookin! Gotta love Kayson's cheesy smile stage!

Kayson loved these pipe slides! Him and Daddy were racing!

The boys loved this! It was a corn air gun. That boy shoved a corn on the cob in it and the shoot it at some targets! Of course the boys loved it!

Yesterday we went to the Cumberland State Park which is absolutely gorgeous. We had some family pictures and the kids wanted to play with the geese afterwards! It was lots of fun except the geese ate all our lunch!

This goose just ripped Cade's sandwich right out of his hand!

Kayson's 5!!!

2011-09-05T10:55:00.008-05:00

We have had a lot going on lately! Kayson turned 5 on August 29th! Thanks Grandma's and Grandpa's for the gifts. We didn't take pictures of all of them but here are some pictures we got. Kayson and Cade both started school. Cade was going to Head Start, however I was really dissapointed with it and pulled him out after 2 weeks. He is having fun at home with mom and Griff! Kayson started his first day of Kindergarten and absolutely loves it! His favorite class is Gym! And Griff had his first day of church! Lots of new things going on! We took Griffin to his 2 week checkup and he weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz. and 21 inches long! I took him last Thursday and he weighed 10 lbs. 6 oz. He is definitely growing fast and getting chunky!

Kayson's favorite thing now is legos. He was so happy!

Kayson and Cade love holding Griff! Not so sure how much he loves it though!!

But he does love the attention he gets from them!

Kayson's first day of school

Cade's first day!

My little goofball! And Grandma Dettinger he misses you soo much! Thanks for spending so much time with him!

Griffin's first day of church!

2011-08-27T16:50:00.006-05:00

Here are some more pictures of Griffin! I do have to say I think he's pretty cute!!

We had to resort to the binky in the last few photo's!

This was just for fun! I thought it was cute!

Griffin Scott Boyle!

2011-08-20T22:47:00.009-05:00

So Griffin Scott Boyle thankfully came 2 weeks early on Aug. 11, 2011. He weighed 8 lbs. 5 oz and was 20 1/4 inches long! Thank goodness he was 2 weeks early! It was a really neat experience for me and Ben! Ben got to play doctor this time! He put in my IV and my catheter, and to top it off he delivered Griffin! It was a really neat experience. It was Ben's 1st time to do any of those things! It was fun watching him learn and knowing that the first baby he delivered was ours! Griffin is such a good baby. He sleeps! Oh man my other boys were rotten sleepers so hopefully Griff will continue to sleep good! He's such a pleasant little guy. Kayson and Cade are loving every minute of him! They are so excited hes finally here! Sorry all of these pictures are out of order but hope you enjoy them!

2011-07-08T19:28:00.006-05:00

We have sure had fun having Ben home this summer! We had a super fun 4th of July but I forgot my camera, so no pictures! We basically hang out at the pool everyday. The kids absolutely love it! So at the beginning of the summer Cade wouldn't even get in the pool with his life jacket on. He was scared to do anything but sit on the steps. Kayson could only swim with his life jacket on. Well after many fun and long days at the pool Kayson swims on his own in the deep end and Cade is a little water dog. He likes to wear floaties and swim with his face under the water and blow bubbles. We also finally got him to jump off the side last week and thats all he will do now! I'm so proud of my little boys! We've sure had fun with them this summer!

Cade is just like his Daddy!

Kayson has Ben's goggles on upside down!

Kayson swimming!

Kayson loves to be thrown by his Daddy!

My three handsome and goofy boys! Soon to be four!

We always find Cade sleeping in funny positions! He's getting so big but still my baby!

Here are some pictures from when we went to the zoo. Kayson's enjoying lunch.

There's a little stream for the kids to play in in the kid area of the zoo. They love it!

The kids always have fun brushing the goats!

The boys love the gorillas!

Kayson absolutely loves the butterfly exhibit there. He caught a pretty one! He is definitely a bug boy. Everyday he has to go catch bugs outside. He usually ends up killing them but he's learning to be softer! He lets them go at night now so they don't suffocate overnight or die of starvation!

2011-06-15T23:02:00.002-05:00

So it only took me like 3 hours to figure out how to post again! But it's done! Hooray!!! Today was Ben's first day home in a very very long time. His vacations has started. He took his board test yesterday in Nashville and today he is chillin with the boys. It's so nice to have him around again for awhile! We just moved and got settled into a really nice place. We go to the pool every day! The kids love it. I am 30 weeks pregnant and huge! Just waiting now until this little guy comes! The kids are so excited! This is Cade at the zoo!

Grandma Boyle came to visit and went to the zoo with us!

Cade is one funny little guy!

This was Kayson's easter party at school! He had a blast finding eggs!

Kayson had to have his tonsils and adenoids out in April. Poor guy.

This is Cade excited to go have his tonsils and adenoids out. Seven days earlier he had to have surgery on his teeth too. These poor kids have been through a lot lately.

Kids flying some kites at the park!

2011-06-07T23:05:00.000-05:00

Most handsome boys in Tennessee

2010-06-28T20:57:00.000-05:00

Ben was on his way home from the school this morning when he found a turtle crossing the road so he picked it up and brought it home! It was a huge hit with the kids. However it urinated in our trunk on the way home! Kayson would not leave the poor turtle alone. He was carrying it around everywhere and kept accidentally dropping it. We kept it in our pool most of the day and when we finally let it go Kayson was so sad. He wanted to keep it forever! I had to post this so you could see this Han!!! Are you jealous or what!!!!

Oh and Kayson named the turtle Rocker!

This is the day we moved into our new house last week and we were trying to get boxes moved and put away. We came into the living room and found Cade asleep on the couches like this!

We went to the zoo last week and Cade was thoroughly enjoying his Spiderman popsicle! If you can't tell!

Kayson's t-ball season ended and he got his very first metal. He thinks its a trophy and he is soo excited about it!

2010-04-24T15:16:00.000-05:00

Sorry everybody I kinda fell off the face of the earth for awhile. Alot has happened

with us lately. When we went on vacation to Utah for Christmas break

Kayson and I got Giardia. If you don't know what that is, look it up.

It is the most awful thing I've ever had. I would never wish it upon anybody.

Poor Kayson still has it. He has had the medicine three times and it's not

getting rid of it. Ben has been super busy in school like usual. Now that it's warm

the boys and I spend a lot of time at the park! I am so excited that my husband is

done with his first year of school in 4 weeks!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it has gone by

so quickly! Well sorry Dad it's taken me so long to get my act together but here

are some pictures of the boys! Enjoy!!

We came home one day from the park and Cade started watching

a movie on the computer and fell asleep like this!

This is what Ben does with our kids in his spare time!

Cade fell on our front porch and cut his lip.

The boys saw this on Disney and started dancing.

They are crazy little guys!

Back to everyday life

2010-01-10T19:48:00.001-06:00

Well we had a wonderful Christmas break with family. It was so great to be back in Utah. Well, our computer is being weird so I can't post any pictures but everything is going well. The boys have been really sick but are feeling much better now. Ben is feeling alot better too. We are back to the normal routines and life is great! I'll try and post some pictures soon!

What we've been up to!

2009-11-20T21:03:00.000-06:00

I decided to FINALLY post this month so here's the update. Here's the boys trick or treating in the pouring rain! Always super fun!

Kayson at a Halloween party!

Oh we had so much fun up at the holler a couple of weekends ago. A bunch of us got together without the kids and played capture the flag in the woods! It was awesome!! It was boys against girls, we didn't get killed but we also didn't win! And there was hot chocolate and treats waiting for us back at the house. Here's a couple of pictures of our friends!

This is a funny story. Ben always threatens to stick soap in Kayson's mouth when he continuously says naughty words. Well Kayson has rubbed off on Cade and now it's his turn. He wouldn't stop saying a naughty word so Ben took him in to put soap in his mouth. And the end result. . . .

of course HE LIKED IT!! The kid is crazy. He cried when we took it away.
You really never know with Cade!!

This is when they are the cutest. We came home from church and went into the kitchen for a few minutes and came back. He was out and drooling!

A couple days later I found Kayson in the chair. Just thought they were so cute!!

Ben had Friday afternoon off after a test so we went to play some tennis with they boys.

It was lots of fun!

Ben had the boys standing together while he tried to jump over them.

They were loving it, so was Ben!!

Kayson loves to color each day when Cade takes a nap.

NEW MOON!!!

2009-11-20T13:20:00.000-06:00

Last night we had a girls night out! It was so much fun. We had a pre party at Amy Hinckley's which was CRAZY!! I couldn't believe all the New Moon decor! It was brilliant Amy! Then we all went to the midnight showing of New Moon!We were definitely the oldest people there and the teenagers were looking at us like we were crazy, but it was a blast! I forgot my camera so I stole some pictures from others! Thanks Laura I stole them from you!!

They even had life-size models of the boys!!!! They were the life of the party!

Stitches!!

2009-10-26T12:28:00.000-05:00

We spent our morning in the ER today!!! Super Exciting! Just kidding. This morning Kayson woke up at 8:00 and by 8:10 had split open the chin! Ben was taking the car today so he was just leaving out the front door. We said our goodbyes and just before Ben shut the door Kayson came racing through the living room, tripped and flew right into our marble window sill. Of course, this is the result!! The poor guy was not even worried about his chin at all, he was just terrified of the hospital. We told him that we had to go to the hospital and that the doctor's would fix his chin really quick and then he's all done. He just kept screaming, "No, I'm so scared, I'm so scared. Please Daddy I don't want to go." He didn't even care about the cut. He did okay considering the circumstances. We all had to hold him down and Ben had to hold his jaw shut cause he was screaming and the doctor couldn't get the stitches in. I felt so bad for him that we took him to walmart afterwards and let him pick out a toy. He enjoyed that!! I was always nervous for the first time one of my kids had to be taken to the ER for stiches or a break, but the experience wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Here's some pictures!

He's happy just watching Scooby Doo now!

This last week we went with a couple of friends to a pumpkin patch and a corn maze. The kids got to go on a hay ride out to the corn maze and play around for awhile. They had a lot of fun!!

We went to a Halloween Carnival at the Med School last week and the boys had a blast! Kayson got his face painted and the played a bunch of games and got plenty of prizes and candy!

This is all of the kids that were there. Kays and Cade are in the bottom left corner.

Cade didn't care about anything as long as he had his sucker!!

Yard Sale and Conference Weekend!!

2009-10-04T12:48:00.000-05:00

The boys were so cute while we were watching Conference this weekend. They were playing in our laundry baskets. Sometimes they act like they love each other!!

Yesterday they had a bunch of yard sales in Historic Cumberland Gap. I guess they do it every year around this time. Whoever wants to sell pays ten dollars for a spot and they can sell whatever they want. My neighbor, Anna, was participating yesterday and I told her I would swing by to check it out. Well, I feel like I made out like a bandit!! It was awesome. I got the boys a bunch of cheap stuff like some water guns, laser guns,(yes Jake and Becca I bought the boys guns), cars, and these really cool old toy binoculars all for $1.50. This was their reward for being dragged aroung for hours! I went early and hit the jackpot with clothes. They aren't new or anything, but I got six shirts, three skirts, a pair of shorts, a hoodie, two pairs of sweats, and a cute maternity dress all for 18 dollars. The awesome part is they are all Hollister, Aeropostale, Abercrombie, and Old Navy!! I was so excited and so was Ben. And NO Dad I am not pregnant. I know what you're thinking!!! My friend was going to give the maternity dress away cause she couldn't sell it, and I took it cause my maternity clothes collection is very sparce.

Here's Kayson pestering Cade with his new water gun.

Here's the boys wearing our neighbor's helmets. They steal them everyday from their back porch. We thought Cade looked pretty cute in this helmet so I had to stick it on here!

These are the binoculars we found for 50 cents. They show dinosaurs and you can switch it to see the outdoors. They boys love them!

It got really cold this week and I had to whip out the jackets. Cade wasn't liking it at all, and Kayson is being a bossy older brother and doesn't like that Cade kept trying to take it off. So Kayson kept sticking his hood on him over and over again.

Kayson lounging in our neighbor's lawn chair.

This is what the boys do every morning. Cuddle on the couch while watching cartoons. Kayson loves to snuggle!!

White Coat Ceremony!

2009-09-28T20:10:00.000-05:00

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I promised family I'd try and do better so I hope you enjoy all of these pictures. This last weekend was Ben's White Coat Ceremony! I can't believe he is actually in Medical School. Life is always taking us on new crazy adventures. He looks so cute and professional in his white coat though! He has been doing really well in school! I am so proud of him. Ya sometimes it's tough cause I never ever get to see him, but that was expected! We are doing great and the boys have lots of new friends to play with. It's so pretty here. The leaves are starting to change and it is beautiful!

Sorry some of the pictures are blurry, I was trying to man the boys by myself and take pictures at the same time. Wasn't working to well cause they both wanted to be held at the same time!

These are our friends Luke and Kelsey Allen. They are husband and wife and are both attending Medical School. We knew these guys in Cedar City! It's really fun to have them here.

The boys hate taking pictures now. We chased them around the hallway for ten minutes and this is all we got. They both think it's hilarious to try and run away in opposite directions when we want a picture.

They are so darn cute though!!

Afterwards we drove up to the Pinnacle. It's a cool place where you can overlook Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee at the same time. The kids had a blast!

This overlooks Harrogate. You can see Ben's school in the bottom left corner of the picture. That is where he lives basically!!

We just thought Cade looked cute so we took a picture of him.

2009-09-27T22:51:00.000-05:00

Sorry family. I have been awful at blogging. We've been really busy and I don't think it will ever slow down. However I promised Grandma and Grandpa that I would post tonight. Well, I promise I tried to get my pictures to work for an hour. I can't get our kodak program on our computer to work right now. Sorry about the dissappointment, again. I will have to have Ben help me learn how to do it right! But we love you all and miss you bunches!

2009-09-11T09:39:00.000-05:00

Quick update. Kayson turned 3. We had a big birthday party for him, with cake, icecream, and pinata. Arent those boys so dang cute. We had loads of fun. Thanks eveyone for coming again. Bens super busy with school, but doing good in his classes. Thanks Jen for these pictures.

Check out what we rigged up for the pinata. Ben was smart and wisely turned his back. We've seen one to many America's Funniest Home Video with adults and kids swinging bats in close proximity.

2009-07-26T22:29:00.000-05:00

Yeah!! We made it to Tennessee and I made it back to Utah to be with the boys. Holy cow what an adventure that is still a ways from being over. Poor Ben is in Tennessee by himself and is missing the boys so badly. 3 weeks is way too long for him to be away from them. We can't wait to get out and see him, and the boys can't wait to get all their toys back. It's been 3 months since they've seen them. It's going to be like Christmas all over again!! Sorry there are no pictures I forgot my camera cord in Tennessee. Scott and Cassie thanks so much for keeping the boys while we were gone, and thanks so so much for letting us stay with you guys all summer! The boys had so much fun with all of the cousins. Tris and Kenyon, thanks for the couches they are AWESOME!! We love having matching couches that aren't bright orange. We are going to miss everyone so badly. We love you all!

Tennessee here we come!!!

2009-07-16T14:30:00.000-05:00

I'm sorry it's been so long since we've posted. We're super busy this summer. I am so stinking excited though. We leave this Saturday morning to drive out there. Ben and I are going by ourselves and the boys are staying with Grandma and Grandpa Boyle in Monticello. I will fly back to Salt Lake City on the 23rd, next Thursday, and meet Ben's parents in Green River to pick up the boys. Then we'll head back to Manti and stay there until Hannahs wedding, Aug. 1st. The boys and I will fly out to Tennessee on Aug. 2nd. It's all kinda crazy, but we are so excited!! We will post when we make it there sometime hopefully. We won't have a computer or the internet!! This should be interesting!!

2009-06-05T11:02:00.000-05:00

Sorry there are so many pictures but we haven't posted for a month, and we have done so many fun things!! This is kinda crazy but there is a family of foxes living in our backyard in Monticello. There is four of them and they live under the shed. Kayson thinks this is pretty cool!!
We went to Manti for Rachel's graduation on May 22nd and the boys and I stayed for a week to hang out. They absolutely love the Manti pool.

Kayson and Matthew had an absolute blast together. Neither one of them ever wanted to leave.
I was so happy that Kayson finally got in the water. He has been so scared of the water since he got pushed in the pool twice last summer.
Check out this huge goose egg. Kayson thought he would jump off of Grandma Dettinger's couch into the TV stand. Holy cow I have never seen anything swell up so fast in my life. Within 30 seconds it was almost the size of a golf ball sticking off of his head. The picture doesn't do it justice. It's still there and it's been almost 2 weeks since it happened. Now he has a semi black eye.

We went hiking up Maple Canyon with my family over Memorial Day weekend.

The boys had a blast whacking the plants with their sticks.
We also went to the Scandinavian Festival in Ephraim and the boys had a blast riding down this slide!!

We made them ride together in the airplane so Cade wouldn't fall out! They had so much fun.
Back to Monticello now we have been golfing a few times with the boys and I swear they love it more than anything. Kayson is a pretty good little putter.
Here's Ben doing the thing he absolutely loves the most!!!
Cade's trying to steal the cart while we are all putting.
Grandpa Boyle and Cade!
We helped our next door neighbor sod part of his lawn and afterwards the kids got the traditional wheel barrow ride!!
We went to the farm days in blanding about 3 weeks ago and the kids had a blast. They got to go on a tractor ride past a pond and see a ton of different animals. Sorry we would have better pictures but we dropped our camera and it's kinda broken, so all of our pictures are kinda blurry.

Kays just loved all the animals so much he didn't want to leave.

2009-05-09T22:09:00.000-05:00

Hooray!! Ben graduated this last weekend from SUU! He received his Bachelors Degree in Human Nutrition and a minor in Chemistry. We moved this last weekend to Monticello to live with Ben's parents for the summer!! All of the big headaches are over until July. On July 18th we are moving to Tennessee to start Medical School!!! We are so excited to be moving on with the next phase of our lives. I am so proud of Ben for working so hard and for being so dedicated. It seemed like we would never reach this point in our lives, but it is finally here!! We will miss all of our friends in Cedar City, but we are excited to meet new friends out in Tennessee.

Yeah, we are in Monticello and Cade is already doing what he does best, eating!!
Kayson is having a blast in Grandma's backyard with all of the water. He loves to run through the sprinklers.
This was Kayson and Cade's last moments in Cedar City with their best friend Brighton.
Kyle and Danie, we love you guys and we are going to miss you greatly!
Just a little push!!

Week at Grandma Dettinger's

2009-04-21T22:38:00.000-05:00

I'm sorry it's been so long since we've posted. We've been super busy. I was just up in Manti for a week and a half taking care of Matthew while my Mom worked in the temple. It was so much fun! Matthew and Kayson had a blast together for the most part. Of course they fought, but they're boys!! Grandma raked all of the leaves and then she walked away for a minute and Kayson dumped the entire garbage can over and him and Cade started kicking them everywhere!!

Cade was watching Horton Hears a Who at grandma's. They pushed off half of the couch cushions and Cade made himself pretty comfortable. He's so cute!!

Kayson didn't get a nap on this particular day, obviously. He asked me to put a movie on our laptop for him and 2 minutes later he was nodding!

The whole fam came down for Easter weekend and we were decorating Easter eggs!! It was lots of fun. The boys are undressed cause I didn't want the dye to stain their clothes. I think Matthew and Kayson broke at least 8-10 eggs between the two of them!

We also were able to go to the zoo while we were at my Mom's. It was lots of fun, except most of the big animals weren't there. We got to see the Giraffe's and the tigers, but I think they were the only big animals out that day. It was still so much fun though. Kayson loved the spiders and the snakes the best!

Califorinia Dreamin

2009-03-23T22:22:00.000-05:00

Well we had a great spring break. We went to California to visit my grandparents. We had so much fun. We went to Sea World and the boys loved it, especially the shark aquarium shamu, and the dolphins. Kayson still hasnt stopped talking about it.

We went to lots of parks and a visited a friend of my grandpa's animal farm. He had zebras, bobcats, parrots, antelope horses and cows. It was like a free visit to the zoo.

My grandparents dont have a tub so the boys had to squeeze in this bucket. They didnt mind one bit though as you can tell.

We finally found Kayson a stick horse. He was been asking for one since Christmas. He rode around on Brego (that what he named the horse and no we dont know were he got the name from) all night yelling Yee Haa. He put this basket on his head and we asked him what he was doing and he said it was his cowboy hat! Funny kid.

Weekend with Grandma & Grandpa Boyle

2009-02-15T20:07:00.000-06:00

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa Boyle

came over to visit us. We all went down to St. George on

Valentine's Day and and played around for awhile.

Kayson of course found some water to play in and was

having the time of his life even though it was still freezing cold.

Cade had fun with everything. He was eating everything

in sight, dirt, rocks etc. But he was enjoying just

being able to be outside.

Kayson thought that this little crack was pretty

cool. He was leading the way and having a blast.

Grandma also brought some Play-Doh for the boys

to play with. Ben and Scott probably played with it

the most!! Cade just tried to eat it. Go figure!!

Thanks for coming over Grandma and Grandpa!!

We love you!!

Happy Birthday Cade

2009-01-16T22:31:00.001-06:00

This is Cade's cheesy face. He has alot of expressions and we always

get a kick out of his many faces. This is our favorite.

Cade turned 1 on Jan 14. I cant beleive that its already been a year since he was born. That went by fast. Cade sure has had a rough first year. He has had pnuemonia 5 times and RSV a couple of times. Despite his health issues he is a very happy kid as you can tell from his smile. He got a Lightning McQueen car and book for his B-day and went to town on his chocolate birthday cake. It was a good night for Cade. He got the two things he loves most... food and Lightning McQueen. Seriously Kayson can't get within three feet of Cade's Lightning McQueen cars without Cade screaming at the top of his lungs.

2008-12-29T20:49:00.000-06:00

Hope you all had a good christmas. Ours was great. We spent some time up in Manti with my family. The boys must have been extra good this year because Santa left a boat load of toys for them. I think my parents and Bens had something to do with that too! Before we left we enjoyed the first of the snow storms that hit Utah. Kayson wanted to go out in the snow, so him and Ben got their gear on and when out. Ben showed Kays how to make snow balls and catch snow flakes in his mouth. Kayson thought that was pretty cool. Poor Cade wanted to go out but was just getting over a cold so only went out long enough to take a picture. Anyways we are doing great and are looking forward to the new year. Happy Holidays!

AThis is a picture of the two boys reading together. It's only a brief moment when they are quiet like this. It's nice!! Before I tell you more, Ben wanted me to make sure and publicly say that I am taking over the blog and that is why there are girly backgrounds. He is not girly!! He wanted me to make sure that everyone knew that. So, I am trying to do the blog now and this is my very first post, so sorry if it's lame!!

I am making up for not posting during Halloween. We went to Manti for Halloween and Jake and Becca's kids were there too!! It was a blast to have all 5 boys together and dressed up!! We are so excited for the sixth Josh and Kelly!

This is a Cade. He was a Monkey with a banana on his head. Kayson was Buzz Lightyear and loved every minute of it!! This is Kayson's silly face. Matthew was a soldier and they all had so much fun together. Taylor was a Tiger and James was Spiderman!! I should have got a picture of Kelly, she was such a cute pumpkin!!

Ben and I couldn't decide what to be so we decided to be Sherriff Woody and Jessie(even though we don't really look like it!) We should at least get credit for trying.

Cade was layin the smack down on the stuffed bear one night when big bro Kayson tagged in. Its so funny the boys love to wrestle. Cade is one tuff cookie he gives Kayson all he wants.

Kayson found my old 49ers football uniform tonight and said he wanted to play football outside. Well we put on the shoulder pads, helmet and uni and played some ball. It was so funny. He thought it was pretty dang cool.

Cade is a water dog. When its bath time he knows. We take his diaper off and he b lines it for the tub and anxiously awaits us to fill it up.

We went up to check out the fall colors on the mountian. It was so nice up there. There is something about the fall that as my dad would say "speaks to me." It was alittle cold up there and a skiff of snow covered the ground in places. Anyways we are just pluggin along. Sarah is finishing up tennis season as an assistant coach for Canyon View High School. She sure has enjoyed it. I am in my last year here at SUU and just finished applying to medical school and am just waiting to hear back from schools know.

Hey yall here are some more pics of the boys. They are so much fun. We went and bummed around the mountian this weekend. Kayson had a good time with all accessible sticks and rocks. Cade just started crawling this week too. Ohh Kayson and Cade are both pretty intrigued by there reflections in the mirror. Just another toy we've found to keep them busy.

The other night I wielded to old fly swatter and took out a few flying pest. Kayson was watching me and said "What ya doin Daddy." I replied "Im killing flys." He said he wanted to kill so flys to and took up the swatter and smote some bugs. Just about every surface of wall got smacked a couple times.

Here are some pictures por fino. Kayson and Cade are quit the duo. Kayson is usually busy doing his own thing, but occasionally stops to play with Cade. Cade loves it when he does.
