Christmas Season 2010

I have been horrible at updating our blog. Seeing that I have not done it for a few months now I figured it was time. We had such a fun Christmas season this year. It started with black friday which I LOVE! I seriously planned it for atleast a month. My mom is such a trooper she has been going with me the last couple of years. We went to Walmart at Mid-night horrible idea! We ended up leaving with nothing and going home. We headed back out about 2:30 to a different Walmart and we got everything we needed with no line, so nice. Our next and last stop was Target we waited outside for a very cold 30 minutes. We got what we needed and made it out pretty fast. Good thing I was exhausted, due to my work schedule that morning I had been awake for 24 hours! It was fun for the most part and I am already looking forward to next year!

We were able to take Kaydence to do some fun stuff for the Christmas season. We went to the Ogden Christmas Village and had a blast.

Kaydence loves hot chocolate!

She loves to pose!

Waiting for santa!

She finally gets to see the big guy!

We finally made it to the zoo lights this year. We went on Thursday because it was the discounted day. I guess everyone else goes on this day too because there were so many people there! We were lucky to jump in a short line and got in pretty quickly. It was so much fun, we really enjoyed all the lights and the few animals that were out.

Kaydence got to see a few of Santa's reindeer.

Kaydence and Daddy!

The tigers were very active.


We made it to Christmas Eve and as a tradition Josh makes a wonderful dinner for the whole family. We were so glad that Eryn and Miah could be down for Christmas, I think Kaydence talked Eryn's ear off all night.

After the family left Kaydence went out and put down her reindeer food so they would know where to land.

Santa's cookies and list

So I am going to finish my post I started weeks ago. Josh's computer crashed and I would have to upload the rest of the pictures and I am not feeling that motivated right now. Enjoy :)

Kaydence's Birthday

I still can't believe that my baby is 5!! She had such a fun birthday this year. We had a BBQ with family and close friends at our house. We decided to make our own pinata this year and it was all Kaydence could talk about that day.

she made such a mess but it was really fun to make with her. It was pretty much indestructable at the party though. It had to be smashed to get the candy out.
Here is the birthday girl with her attitude.

Grayson and Olivia came and loved anyone who would feed them!
We were so happy that Jaylee could come this year. Kaydence adores her and they love getting together. Their birthday are a day and a year apart so Kaydence was able to go to Jay's party the day after hers.
Olivia loved the bounce house, she was so cute!

Kaydence received so many great gifts, thank you everyone for everything and for coming to enjoy Kaydence's birthday we love you all!!

Lagoon and Summer Fun!

We were able to go to Lagoon in June with Josh's family. Kaydence loved it like always! We went to the water park first this, year but I didn't get any picture cause I didn't want my camera ruined in the water. After the water park we had to go on all the kiddie rides.

She loved the cars!


When she rode this ride before she was 2 she tried to climb out, Josh had to jump the fence cause the ride attendant was not paying attention. Thank goodness she stays in now.

Olivia and Grayson were so cute when they rode the boats together.

This is the cutest picture of Olivia! We just love the babies! We had a great time and Lagoon and all the kids went home with a prize.

Kaydence has also loved to swim this summer, I think if she could live in the water she would!

This is her little pool grandma and grandpa bought her, she loves to fill up her squirt guns and chase anyone around.


This is Kaydence's attempt at putting sunscreen on by herself.


Grandpa is such a trooper, he watches her once a week while I work and the get in the pool at least twice that day. He always has to get in with her and she always asks him if he put sunscreen on his boobs and belly.

Here is our garden, Josh is so proud of it! He loves doing one every year and it is so nice to have fresh veggies all the time.

I saved the best picture for last. This is a drawing of daddy and Kaydence drew the "thing he pees out of" she doesn't know the proper name yet because she is way to verbal! Also Josh is way modest around her (she has never seen him pee or change or shower or anything) so we figured she learned all about it while helping Grandma Kaye change baby Grayson.
We have had a great summer and get to go a few more places this week while Josh is off, I will post more pictures later, peace!

Remodel

I have been horrible at updating our blog, I can't believe it has been 2 months. We started to remodel our kitchen last December, not a smart idea to do in the winter a good lesson learned! Our cupboards were in great condition so I figured I could redo them with no problem. Well it was a lot more work than I expected but well worth it! I didn't have a camera for the before pictures it broke, but the cupboard color before were oak and the wall color was a blueish green color.

Sorry the kitchen is dirty in the picture, thats how it is most of the time, looks like ten people live here instead of just three.

We replaced the old hood, it was disgusting!


We bought nice hardware and hinges as well, but next time I will do knobs instead of handles even with a little tool to put them on there are still some imperfections.

We really like how it all turned out and I hope it will bring in some potential buyers in a couple months when the house goes up for sale. We have a few other things we are remodeling on the house I will post pictures when they are done as well.

Pre-school Graduation

Kaydence graduated from her first year of pre-school! We are so proud of her, she seems to be learning a lot. She will return in the fall since her birthday falls 12 days after the deadline for Kindergarten. The theme for graduation was super heros. Kaydence had Grandma Kaye make her a cape. We took a trip to Walmart and she picked out some material, it turned out great. They did a littl program with all the kids and then read the names. The first attempt to read Kaydences name she was in the potty. The kids got to crawl through a little tunnel , then give the bad guy, which was a bad guys, a little punch or kick. Kaydence attacked him!

After the celebration we headed outside for a BBQ. Kaydence was able to say goodbye to her favorite teachers that were either graduating or moving.


This is Mr. Jack she loved him!! At the dino park she followed him around everywhere!


This is Mr. Travis he was also one of her favorite!


This is the head teacher Mandy. She is such a great teacher and just loves the kids!
Kaydence had a great year and cannot wait to return in the fall!

Dino Park

For Kaydence's last field trip at school this year she got to go to the Dinosaur Park! She was so excited even more that momma got to come with her. This was her first trip to the Dino Park, ya I know we need to get out more, she loved every minute! I think her favorite part was the playground and the little digging area to find dino bones!
