Updates

Sorry no pictures with this blog update, don't have time or the right equipment to update at my house so you just get to read. Sorry if that bores you I did give you fair warning. I thought I would up date on how we are doing.

~ Kaydence is almost four, I can't believe it. She gets smarter everyday, and says some of the funniest things. She turns four on Sept 12 and then she will be starting pre school a Roy High. We are very excited so she will have more interaction with kids than adults hopefully that means she will pick up less swear words ( she learns them from grandma) and she will make new friends. She cannot wait and she tells me she is going to school everyday. She got a new rolling back pack from Grandma Peggy that goes with her everywhere. Josh liked the idea of her going to Roy because he knows the teacher, plus she will get plenty of one on one attention which she needs.

~We are getting new windows, I know how excited you are so try to calm down. We have needed 3 new windows since we moved in and I can't wait to have a bathroom window that is frosted not clear, thank goodness when do not have back yard neighbors, I only flash the Gardner when he is out weeding ;)

~Along with windows we are going to attempt some DIY projects like painting and refinishing our cupboards, it doesn't sound too hard but we will see. We just want to increase the value of our house when it comes time to sale. Any tips let me know

~We are currently working on getting the baby making machine working properly. I have become BFFs with my ob/gyn the past week and a half visiting him 5 times, trying to find out the exact time the ball is going to drop. We hope that we will get positive results soon, it gets exhausting working over time.

~Josh's brother and sister in law are back in the state and we have been spending a lot of time with them. We are glad they made it home safely and are excited to see where they will be placed for recruiting. We had a rough summer last year and are glad to be off to a new start with them.

Josh continues to do well at his job and really enjoys it. He is such a people person and seems to draw others to him. This comes in handy in many areas of our life. I am very proud of how hard he works for us and all he accomplishes. Thats about it for updates nothing too exciting I know I will post more pictures soon.

Roy Days and a Weekend Picnic

Yesterday was the last day of Roy days and since we love the city we live in so much we thought we would participate. Make sure the fees I pay and Roy city trying to violate me on my yard goes to good use. I met up with Josh and Kaydence at the Roy parade. I was working so I packed up the state van with 5 kids and we headed to the parade. Kaydence loved the other kids and really loved getting all the candy! I swear this was the longest parade I have ever been too. It started at 9:30 am and I was packing up the van to head back to work at 11:30 and the parade was still going. After work we went over to the carnival and booths. They had more booths than rides this year. Kaydence kept asking for moneys so she could go in the blow up toys and buy treats. After meeting up with both grand parents she wanted to go in the bubble area. It was a big blown up ring with a bubble machine for the kids to run and get soaked in.







After she was done her poor eyes were burning and was freaking out when Josh tried to clean her off with the hose, it was nap time. The funny thing is that she runs around our yard soaking herself with our hose. After grabbing some lunch we headed home for nap time. That night we had Ash and Cal over with the girls for dinner. Which I never got any pictures of them. The girls had so much fun we will definitely have to do it again.


Last weekend Josh and I decided we should go on a picnic with his parents. After almost running into the back of another car on our way up the Mountains, Joshs dad luckily got us there in one piece. Kaydence barely let me get her picture before she wanted to explore. We were right by the river so we had to hurry and get lunch so she could go jump in. Daddy is such a

good sport to get in with her. At first she wanted to get out because it was really cold, but after awhile she enjoyed throwing rocks down the river with daddy. We left the camping area and headed back down to Huntsville park. She wanted to play on the slides after her adventure in the river. The Huntsville park is really nice and has tons of toys for the kids to play on. Even Josh had a fun time. I also climbed up but Joshs butt looks so much better on camera than mine.


We found the weirdest slide at the park. It was long and straight down but at the top there was two large humps with about ten inches in between to squeeze yourself through, plus it was very oddly shaped, you can only image what Josh thought it looked like. I know what you are thinking... exactly it looks like a banana right. On the way home we had a very tired girl but she was able to stay awake for some ice cream, yum! Thanks Stan and Kaye for going with us we had a lot of fun!
