Our Easter Weekend!

We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!! Easter is one of my favorite times of the year!! I love all the new beginings of life, the babies, the flowers, everything!! It also makes me think of Our Savior Jesus Christ and the resurrection. Kade and I had the opportunity to hear Kades parents speak in church on Easter Sunday and they gave amazing talks!! Everyone was in tears. You could feel the spirit so strong. Rhonda talked about the death and resurection of Christ and how the Friday after he died was very dark and how we have dark Fridays in our lives but we will also have the Sunday that will follow. The beautiful Sunday when the Savior was resurected again. It was so good to be with Kades family this weekend......I love them so much!
This is a great picture!! The tall guy is Laceys new someone (Bryce)!! And the shorter, stubbier man :) is Tyson. Kades youngest brother. So Bryce needed something out of his truck and just stepped over the fence with ease. So Tyson decides hes going to do the same thing........but........well.......without ease!!!!!
This is some of "THE BOYS" just "HANGIN" by the grill. They are trying to look cool.....and maybe they do look a little cool. Just a little. I think mostly Dev in the glasses.
So wow. The Church's get a little crazy, ok, they get a lot crazy!! This is Lacey, Camie, Kade, and Rhonda doing the bunny hop!!! When the family gets together, be prepared for gut splitting laughs!
We had delicous foooooood!! yum yum yum. As you can see, Kade was a lot more excited about his food. He couldnt eat it fast enough so he ends up spilling it all over himself!! Gotta love those baked beans!!!!

Lasik!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems like I have a lot to post-I guess due to the incredible weekend we had. So Ill start with this pic. Kade was able to get lasik surgery on Thursday!!! Yeeey!! Im so happy for him. They let me watch the surgery on the screen. It was so amazing how they can perform such a miracle on someone!! It truly has changed his life. No more contacts, glasses, solution, and no more asking me what time it says on the alarm clock in the morning!! I really didnt mind but now he can do it himself!!! wow. There was one time when Kade and I were hunting on the mountain and he lost one contact in the dirt. What do ya do???? It was very frusterating for him.........but no more of that either!! Im so happy for you Kade!! I love you!!!

A Little Miracle!!!

I am sooooo excited!!!.................My sister had her baby!!! She had him yesterday, on St. Patricks Day! He's such a sweet little boy. They are naming him Stetson. I was able to be there with her before and after she had him. She had a c-section so the surgery was only like 30 minutes. Im just so amazed that a baby can come into the world so fast. And they are truly little miracles from God. They make everyone so much closer together because they bring so much love into our lives. He is so soft and cudley!!
I was trying to think of a good way to describe what a baby looks like and I came up with "Brand New Old Men". They are kinda wrinkly like a old person but in a new kind of way.
Holding Stetson just made me soooo excited for having my own little baby someday!! What a sweet precious little baby!!

Paint Makes Everything Better!

I have been painting my house for the past week. I first started on my entry way and now have moved to the kitchen. Its been quite the project. But Im bound and determined to get rid of ANY white walls. And not that I dont like white.......I just have a lot of white walls in my house!! So this first picture was the first little bit of paint. Of corse I had to be creative!!
This is definately not the finished product but kinda gives you and idea!

Just a Little Hike in the Woods!

So heres a story for ya. These pictures were taken back in the late fall AFTER the hunt. We decided that we would hike up on the mountain and take our video camera to catch some bugling elk footage. Or to capture some really good pictures......whatever we could get. So Kade and I , and our niece Cassidy get up early and go trapesing down through the trees at about, Oh 8:00 am or so. (The top picture) The hike was going well, we had heard some bugling going on and of corse it was coming from the bottom of the canyon. So thats were we went. We get down there and can't see any elk and all of a sudden, I swear, a cloud just covered the beautiful shining sun and started to snow!!! I was so amazed!!! Completely amazed that there could be a cloudcover and a white out all at once!!!! Those mountains really are surprising!! The second picture is at about noon. Thats how fast the snow fell. Well needless to say, we did not get our Oh so amazing elk footage, but we did get wet, cold, and tired. Ok and maybe some hot chocolate as soon as we got down the canyon :) It was all worth it!!!!!

Our Big Fat Group Date!!

I was going to add this picture in my last post but ended up just making a new one. This picture was at my house after our group date. We had all been to eat at Teppanyaki Grill..........oh yum!! It was soooo good. And the guy that cooked for us was really funny and entertaining. After dinner we went to Wise Guys-were Brett (the one in the orange and black) got hypnotized!! It was hillarious! The hypnotist made us all in the audience put our hands together to see who's would end up locking together and then he invited those people up on the stage for his show. Brett was pretty good entertainment!! He danced, ate lemons, drove a sports car, fell off his chair.....all sorts of fun stuff!!! It was loads of fun!!

Fun At The Cooks!

This is the girls making funny faces.........except for my mom and my sister, they just could'nt help but laugh. What some goofy girls!!!
And Oh wow.......what is that on the left????? Oh wait, I think that is my husband?? Still not sure. Anyways, as you can see there are two challenged persons in this photo and two normal persons. Here are 3 of my bros. My other brother Cameron was in the kitchen stuffing his face. We all have a gooooood ole time!!!!! And we can't resist my moms home cookin!!!
I thought this was so funny. Riley looks a little dazed and confused. But then again I guess Cortley does too!!! These two run around like crazy when they get together.

In our family, (my side) on the 1st and the 3rd Sunday, we all get together and have dinner. And we know it will either be pizza or turkey dinner. This has always been a tradition that we have done. I have a fairly LARGE family, so you can imagine what these dinners are like.......a little rowdy! Kids running everywhere-FUN!! We do love getting together!! So this video clip just kinda shows what it is like. Lots of interuptions.....hehe. This is Kade and my niece Cortley.
