4th of July

We had a very fun weekend for the 4th. My mom and I went to my cousin's wedding on the 2nd. It was at a winery and was a lot of fun. Then on Sunday we went to my brother and sister-in-laws for a cookout and fireworks. Sunday was spent just hanging out.

Happy belated Easter!

Easter weekend was super busy! We spent a lot of time with family doing many different things. We started out the weekend by dying eggs on Friday night. The kids all did a great job!

Saturday I ran a bunch of errands. Then we were supposed to be going to my brother's for a cookout, but my mom called me crying hysterically that her basement had flooded. Needless to say our plans had changed. My brother, sister-in-law, Jeremy and I all helped my mom get some things out of the basement to dry. Carah found a box of pictures that was soaked. We had to separate every single picture so that they wouldn't be ruined. Even though my mom lost a bunch of stuff from the flooding, it sure was fun going down memory lane. She also came across a bunch of momentos from elementary school that Chad and I had made. We are hoping that they will be okay. The yearbooks are still drying. Once all of this was done the Easter Bunny stopped by our house.

Sunday morning the kids woke up and we played with the stuff that the Easter bunny had brought. I hid some eggs around the house for the kids to find. Kaden had silly bands in his eggs and Kinley had Cheerios in hers. She did pretty good crawling from egg to egg, waiting for me to open it so that she could have the Cheerios. We then went to my grandma's house.

Fall activities

I am so sorry that I haven't blogged in a month! I have been super busy with our house painting. Here are some pictures to catch up from the last month. A few weeks ago we took Kaden to a local pumpkin farm to get our pumpkins. It was a lot of fun! There was a hay ride, goats to feed, two corn mazes, a slide, and a ton of pumpkins to choose from. Here are some pics from the farm...

On the hay ride

Jeremy's employer had an appreciation night and we all got to go to the new arena and watch a hockey game. Jeremy and Kaden have never been to a hockey game so they were pretty excited. Here are the two boys...

Doesn't he look super mean?Hope everyone has a great weekend! My mom and I will be painting our laundry room....and then I think that we are done with what we need to do. Hopefully we will be moving into our house within the next three weeks!!!

Easter

Well I hope that everyone had a great Easter. I know that we did. We only had one place to go....to my Grandma's. Usually on holidays it is pretty hectic trying to get to everyone's houses within a short amount of time. This year it was very relaxing. Here are some pictures from our day...

Look at what the Easter Bunny brought Kaden

Christmas X 6

So...I have been slacking on this blogging thing. I am so sorry. We literally had six different Christmas get togethers. It was so nice getting to see everyone. That is the one thing I do love about Christmas...getting to spend quality time at everyone's house since almost all of them were on different days. Kaden got everything he wanted and then some. Here are some pictures from all of our family get togethers...

Hope you all had a very merry Christmas! We sure did!

O Christmas Tree

So the weekend after Thanksgiving we always get our tree. Nothing changed with that this year. We got our tree Friday night and put it up on Saturday. I was just going to put the lights on it Saturday and do the ornaments on Sunday...but Kaden was waiting so patiently to put the ornaments on that I couldn't tell him no. So here are some pics of our Christmas tree. As you can see, Kaden took it very seriously. All of the ornaments that he put on are on the very bottom branches.

Once I got the camera out to take these pictures Bentley was just looking at me like he wanted his picture taken too...so here it is. He is just so darn cute!
