Tee Ball

Kadence started playing tee ball this week. It was so fun watching her. She did all the typical things you hear about first time teeball players doing...sitting down and playing in the grass or dirt, watching the ball roll right by or waving at family members instead of paying attention to the game. I loved every minute of it!Look how little she is compared to the others

Team huddle

Coach helping her bat. She hit the ball and both times ran after the ball instead of running to first base. It's alright...we'll get it next time.

Yep...that's my baby girl sitting and playing in the dirt :)

This was at practice a few days before the game. She loved to just stand on the bases.

So stinkin cute!!!

My favorite time of day

The last few weeks Kadence has had to do breathing treatments for her asthma. Considering this is the first time this winter she has had a bad asthma episode is pretty good! But with that said she has to do a treatment every night before going to bed. We all put our jammies on and cuddle up in mommy's bed to watch part of a movie while K does her treatment. This is when Big Jake is getting ready for work so he gets to join us for a few minutes too. I just love laying in a comfy bed with my kiddos cuddling up to me.
I remember when I was growing up we would climb into my parents bed to watch some of our favorite shows. Every Sunday night we would find a spot on the bed and watch America's Funniest Home Videos together. I still record and watch that show. Who doesn't love a montage of people falling down or getting hit with something :) We would also read scriptures together every morning around our parents bed.
Awe....the memories!!!

Jake's 1 year pics!

A Few weeks ago we had our family pictures taken and they came out so BEAUTIFUL. There were so many great ones but I just picked a few of my favorite to post. Our friend has taken all our pictures over the last few years and she does such an amazing job. If you are interested in getting some taken for your family let me know and I'll get you intouch with her.

I love how both of my children have their hands in their mouths.

I love that little man!

That's my boy!
Daddy's girl all the way.

She's growing up so fast. Almost 3!!!

Sweet sibling moments

I just love those two sweet babies. I hope they stay close and enjoy being brother and sister forever.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We went to Hurricane, Utah for Thanksgiving to see my cousin Pagie in a rodeo. We had so much fun visiting them. Check out some pics.Pagie & Kadence on Peanut.
Snack in the bath at the hotel. Silly girl!

Kadence's first time bowling

Pagie & Kadence

I think Kadence looks a lot like Pagie when she was younger. If Kadence grows up to be like and look like Pagie I'm okay with that. Pagie is a BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED young lady.

We LOVE you PAGIE!

Sorry for the late notice

As many of you may know, my pops has MS. For the past 6 years he has been living in a nursing home/hospital unit fighting this disease. He is immobile and can only use his arms and hands very little. Enough to be able to wheel around his wheelchair. Although he is immobile, his sense of humor and loving spirit remain the same! He is a great guy despite his challenge with MS. On Saturday, November 7th, there will be a walk through the Phoenix zoo to help with research and to find a cure! You can come and walk with us, (for free!) and then enjoy a FREE day at the zoo! It would be awesome to get ALL of the support we can! All you need to do, is to register under our team's name which is POP's UNFORGETTABLE POSSE. Go HERE to register and click on join Amanda's team....If you can't make it to the walk but would still like to support the cause, there is also a place to donate. Details of the walk can be found HERE. But remember, just by participating in the walk, then you also get an all day free admission to the zoo!!! So put on your walking shoes and pack up those strollers and come have a good time!! What a perfect way to spend a Saturday with your family and in this beautiful weather!

We Love You Pops!!!!

Oh, the life of a 1 MONTH old!

So I was going through my camera the other day and realized there was a reoccurring theme with most of the pictures of Junior...I just had to share.
