Daddy Day!

I think that my kids have the best Dad ever! I have heard it said that you are to think of the most patient person you know, and then you should try to be more like them (I think it was Elder Uchtdorf). My husband is the most patient, peacemaking, fun and funny, person I have ever meet. I love watching him play with our kids and how he can make them laugh in his special way. They love it when he first gets home and have a special way of telling him. He is everything that I ever could dream for and even more! Happy Fathers Day! You are a blessing to me and to our boys! We love you!

Life size Thomas!

Thank You Papa!!

The Thomas ride in Heber, Utah. We had an awesome time, Kaleb loved it, he has been talking about it everyday since Saturday. His first reaction to the life size Thomas was shock and awe...There were lots of little activites to do while you waited. Through it all Kaleb just wanted to know when he could ride Thomas. Kenden enjoyed the ride just as much as Kaleb pointing out all the cows and other animals he could see out his window.It was so fun to watch the reaction of the kids!

My 2 Boys & Yet Another Move

Kenden and brothers toy. He was very proud of himself for getting up here all by himself.

Kaleb and our silly glasses craft. They lasted a whole hour until Mom broke them...

So we have moved yet again...for those of you that don't know. We are back in Chubbuck in Preston's parents basement. We are here until he is done with school, which should be December!! Can I say I am sick of moving! Blah...5 places in 5 years. We should definitely stay a while at the next place we move.

The boys are doing great Kenden finds a way to do just about everything Kaleb does. He is walking and running everywhere. He is developing quite the little personality. The other night I was doing laundry and had moved a pile away from him, silly me I moved it back when I thought he had moved on to play with something else. But no sooner had I moved it when he ran right over and as I was saying no...grabbed a pair of pj pants and ran the other way laughing.

Kaleb is a ball of energy! He is constantly going 100 miles an hour and sits still only long enough to be read to or watch about 30 minutes give or take of a movie/TV. He is rather sassy, but says the funniest things sometimes. recently we had some good friends (Tiff and Justin) move to Idaho Falls. Well the missionaries stopped by and he loves to volunteer information. So he told them Tiffany and Justin moved to Idaho Falls to the temple.

In short my two boy keep me on my feet....but life would be boring without them.

The three boys t Kenden's Birthday.

Kenden playing the old man on "Up" his balloons were tied to his ankles.

Kenden and the cake

Dad did four wheeler rides for everyone.

Kenden and one of his presents.

We have been busy!! In the last couple weeks Kenden turned ONE!! Already... we had a fun party and he wouldn't eat the cake. He had too many chips with dinner, they made him a bit sick to his stomach. He also started walking about a week before his birthday. And Kaleb decided to potty trainee. We are on day 5 and counting of no accidents day or night.

Camping in March...Yes we are crazy!

The fisherman, he stood in a freezing river for 3 days with no fish (for the non anglers sucker fish and white fish don't count as fish, he caught a few of those).

Preston wadded into the river and Kaleb didn't see the problem with fallowing him.

Kenden loved playing outside chasing brother and riding the four wheeler where his favorite.

Kaleb catching his "fish".

Last week was Spring Break, we decided to do something out of the ordinary and went steel head fishing. You may not know what a steel head is, it is a trout that goes to the ocean and then back inland for spawning. Idaho is the only land lock state that gets steel head. So we thought we would see how they were biting. The biting was not so good but we had a blast. Kaleb caught a sucker...kind of... someone else hooked it and they put it on his line and let him bring it in. He loved it. And after they got out he wanted to know what the fish was saying to him. The boys loved being outside and after our little adventure I think that they may prefer to live outside.

I will get to it... sooner or later...

Kenden's new trick.
Kaleb with shampoo in his hair. Picture perfect moment.

So I think sometimes why do people take so long to update their blogs... Well I take forever sometimes. Life happens and we just don't get to it so here is our update. Kaleb was so grouchy and we thought man this two thing is hard... well Preston was brushing Kalebs teeth and he starts complaining and Preston looks in and low and behold there are two top molars trying to push in. So although Kaleb is two he is also teething which made for the extreme grouch, but can you really blame him? Kaleb also climbed in the shower the other day, while i was cleaning the bathroom, and then pored shampoo in his hair. We found him in the shower rubbing his head with my loo fa saying mom it wont come out. And Kenden just wants to do everything that Kaleb does. The other day he climbed up the bottom step of Kalebs stool, and just looked at us like so what are you going to do about it?? I am going to find a way to play on this bed with or with out you help. Preston just started a new semester. He will finish his tech stuff in December so pretty much a year left yeah!! I am still learning to find a balance in life. between My awesome husband, being a mom and homemaker. when i am lucky i through in some Courtney time, but so goes life. I guess we are all health and happy what more could we ask for.

Thankgiving and Christmas Tree

Kenden started crawling about a week and a half ago. But three days after he was pulling himself up to things. Even standing holding on with only one hand! It is funny how with your first baby you can't wait for him to do all these things, but with your next baby it makes you a little sad, and you think not already. Before we know it he will be walking... They really don't stay little very long. Turkey day Turkey Trot! Manda,Preston,Courtney,"Papa Scary", Zak

Kenden he was so much help with the Christmas tree, obviously...

Kaleb helping with the tree...at least he is rewarded for not taking things off.
