White Coat Ceremony!

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.

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!

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.

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!!
