Kaitlyn's Birthday

Well it was a hit!! Kaitlyn is know 2 years old. Wow i can't believe how fast they grow. We has lots of friends over and played lots of fun games and really enjoyed everyone's company. Thanks to all who came and she loved all her gifts. The baby's where a hit! She takes them with her everywhere and wont let anyone touch her dolls. She is such a great little mom!

Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving was so much fun. We decided at the last minute to go to Stephanie's house in AZ. Karen and her family were there. We spent the night and the kids loved their little dog saddie. Kaden went swimming that night with Karen, Jared, Courtney, Steph and nick. We had lunch the next day and had Yummy Food. The kids where tired and ready for a nap so we decided to head out and go to Mesa to Visit my family. Everyone went to mesa cause we had a family Meeting. Ryan came down for the meeting and we had a great time while he was down even though it was very quick. The kids had fun with Ryan and sure missed him when he left. Even though Kaitlyn called him Shane the whole time. My mom and dad got all the boys trucks from Cabelas so they had fun playing in the hotel and at Jamie's house.

The Kids

I'm so thankful for my Kids! I love them so much. They mean so much to me. We have so much fun playing and being crazy. Kaden love to play cars and watch his tunes he also love his sister. Kaitlyn love to be a mom to her dolls and make lots of funny faces, she can't go anywhere with out her blanket, i found her in the laundry room laying on a dirty blanket but it has ties on it so she was ready to take a nap. Kaysen loves to smile and play pic-a-boo and play with his brother and sister, he's such a great baby. They are great kids!

Pre School

Kameron and I have been talking about putting Kaden in a preschool and have looked around every where. All the preschool treat it as if it was day care. We didn't like that. They also are 4 hours 5 days a week. Crazy that is more than Kindergarten. So i keep looking and calling around and found that one of friends from our old ward had a preschool at her house. She was able to take Kaden. Today was his first day and he loved it. He was so excited to go to school. He has been asking to go to school for a long time. I hope he really enjoys his time there. We got him ready this morning and had his backpack and of course Kaitlyn had to have her backpack and be like her big brother. It was so cute. But of course she can't go with out her blanket!

Pears!!

Wow! Things I come up with. Our friends where going to Wilcox AZ to pick up apples and pears. So of course a great deal came and i couldn't pass it up. I got 88lbs of pears. I love canning. I have been learning how to can many different things. I used to just know how to make jam but know it has increased and i love learning how to do new things.

Trick or Treat

Kaden has been so excited to go trick or treating. He loves to go up to the door and knock. It is so much fun watching the kids grow up. But sad as well. Kaitlyn loved following her big brother. We got together with another couple and had dinner at a park and let the kids play for a while before going to visit some friends and trick or treating. The Romneys and Mays came along with us. We had a great time. The kids got lots of candy and where so tried they wanted to go home early. It was good so we could get home and get everyone to bed. Kaden was a lion, Kaitlyn was a puddle dog FI FI, and Kaysen was a pumpkin. He was so good just chilling going on a stroller walk, keeping warm and getting lots of rest.

Chicken and Beef

Chicken on sale and ready to can. This chicken is so good and easy to use and can. Cleaning out Freezer and getting food storage. We had beef from a cow that we got from a friend so we decided to can that as well. Wow we made beef stew and it is really good. We are having so much fun canning. It makes you feel so much better knowing that there is food on your shelf's.

PIZZA NIGHT! Kameron bought stuff at the store so we could make homemade pizza with the kids. They had so much fun. They loved eating all the toppings before we even got to start making them.

Apples! Apples! Apples!

Wow! I didn't realize how good fresh apples are. While in Idaho Kameron got a few for me cause he knows how much I love apples and the kids as well. We took a few boxes to the Johnson and started picking. Daryl, Bracken and Kameron started to pick and thought they where done until I showed up. I made them fill up a few more buckets, and Bracken thanks so much for climbing in the tree for us. That was so much fun spending time with you guys. Well the fun began when I got home. We had to pill, core, and slice the apples. Thanks heaven's for my mom and her apple slicer. It does all three at once. We made Apple Pie Filling, Apple Butter, Apple Sauce. Kameron, and the kids enjoyed canning the apples with me.
