This past Wed. was really exciting for us because Kades sister (Lacey) returned home from her mission. She has been serving in the Brazilia, Brazil mission. She looks great and it was so good to see her. It was also great spending time with the whole family which we dont do very often. We had a great dinner, and homemade ice cream! We all just hung out and chatted about her mission. Kade and Lacey had a lot to talk about because Kade also served his mission in Brazil.

boys and their toys


Well we had a great weekend!!! On Friday night we went over to Ben and Darcis house (Ben is my bro in case any of you did not know) :) and as Darci said on her blog, we had dinner and hung out. I do have to clear something up that she said-Im really not a great cook!! I just cook easy. I love my crock pot-cause it does all the work. I basically just dump the food in and go do my thing for the day! Its great. (And her rice really was yummy!) But we had a lot of fun. I love Riley to death! He has got to be the funniest little boy ever!! Sometimes he is so emotional, crazy, happy, loving, (mine, mine, mine), and just darn cute!!! Riley and Kade have a love hate relationship. Its so funny-cause Kade likes to do things like, roll Riley up in a blanket and then unroll him really fast to make him spin, and Riley just thinks that Kade is trying to beat the crap out of him!! So then they have to make up with hugs. Kade has to play gentle with him:)
Saturday night Kade and I went to Kades company party at the Grand America hotel. It was quite the drive there-it was when the bad storm hit. Anyways, it was worth the drive because we had a good dinner, we won a 2-night stay at Sundance resort and $110 bucks from the balloon drop. And the entertainment was funny because they had an "American Idol" contest with some of the people at his work. We had lots of good laughs!!

Well, were do I start??!! We are doing great!! We put up our Christmas tree and I love it!! Kade says its to perfect........What? How do you get to perfect! He says it needs character. We usually go cut our Christmas trees down, (its kind of a tradition) but this year we bought one at a Christmas tree lot. It is so nice-like I said, I love it! We decorated it for family home evening. It was great fun.
We are finally done with our spec house!! yeey! Well, almost done-we still have a few odds and ends to do but we are pretty much finished. So if anyone wants to go take a peek at it-they are more than welcome. It has been a stressfull but awsome experience. We have learned so much!!! Kade amazes me with all of the things he can do. He put in so much time-and its finally paid off! We would like to tell everyone who helped out (even just a little) THANKYOU SO MUCH!!! We really appreciate it!
