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!!!

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!!

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.

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

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




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

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!!
