Family Pictures

We have tried to get our family pictures done since

NOVEMBER!

But it was

"to cold, or to snowy".

So what do we do?

We wait until it is both

COLD & SNOWY!

Even though we

almost froze to death,

I am glad they are done.

I LOVE THEM!

More of

JUST KADE,

coming soon!

Christmas Day

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Especially when you have the cutest

almost two year old ever!

I teared up all Christmas

thinking of how

beautiful and wonderful

every moment was.

Kade showing off what Santa brought.

His first set of Legos.

Kade LOVES horses.

So he got a little farm with 4 horses.

Playing with his toys!

Showing off his opened gifts.

Later that night we opened the boxes

from Kevins family.

We put them in the hall and went and did our thing.

I was down in Kades room when I heard a big thump.

I came out to see this.

Kade went to crawl up on the box.

Not knowing it was empty.

And down he crashed!

Instead of helping him out,

I took pictures.

Then he figured out he

could do it himself!

What a big boy.

This was

with out a doubt

my favorite Christmas

EVER!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

We put Christmas up weeks ago,

so I decided that I better post the pictures before it is past Christmas!

Here is my sweet boy, helping with the tree.

I decided to warm up the photos a little.

So much more

Here Kade is with his first ornament ever.

"Baby's First Christmas."

Here is the

**Family Tree**

Here is the pretty tree.

I was able to get some new ornaments this year.

I added them to some of the stuff we already had.

I love it!

And I love the mantel.

If only I could find our stockings!

We hope everyone has a

VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.

GO UTES!!

Lets just say

it was the BEST!

What a way to end a game!!

Thanksgiving = 6 PIES

This Thanksgiving is the first year

without my sweet Grandpa.

He always made pies, every Thanksgiving.

His pumpkin was the best!

One thing about Grandpa

is you never knew what was going to be in his pies,

but he had a touch,

even if it was baking the weevil out!

I know gross!!

So this year,

I MADE PIES!

And lots of them.

SIX!!

Pumpkin, Sweet Potato,

Apple, Coconut Cream, Pecan,

and last but not least

Chocolate Pecan Carmel!

How cute are they!

I love Kade looking up at Kevin.

Hope you all had a

FANTASTIC THANKSGIVING!

HALLOWEEN

For Halloween this year, Kade was

MICKEY MOUSE!

Since we just got back from Disneyland,

he knew all about Mickey,

and loved dressing up as him.

He is getting good at saying

"CHEESE"

which is good, since he is a mouse!

Here he is showing off the pumpkins!

Since the weather was CRAZY

our trunk-r-treat was inside the church

nice and dry!

His mouth full of yummy candy.

Karlee was a genie and Austin was Billy the Exterminator.

It cracked me up that Kade hid his face here.

We had a family pizza party, and had a great time!

Here are the grandkids that are not to big to go trick-r-treating.

Every year Kevin loves carving pumpkins.

So here are his creations this year.

We had a fantastic Halloween.

But man, I'm glad it is over!
