Wow Update!!! ( it's a long one!)

So yikes, it doesn't take long for your blog to be out of date! Well we had a Coates Christmas party the day after Thanksgiving it was kind of fun to see some cousins I hadn't in a while. And on thanksgiving Kaydence spent a little time with her younger cousin Casen! we got some fun pics. And we played the coolest game(thanks Brit) it was called Thankful pie. My niece made a little fake pie and we wrote down on pieces of paper the things we were thankful for to fill our pie! It was super neat to hear every ones thoughts, and funny. We had Family , Friends, warm house,the gospel(and almost everything related to it), also things like hairy chests,gold bond, and hunting( gotta love those guys!) I've decorated (a little), I'm not done remodeling the house so it is kind of hard for me to decorate my ugliness ha ha. But I love my tree, my mom and I made all of the decorations about 7 years ago, and I got to take them with me when I went to college. I am working on new tree stuff for next year (it will be all hunting,feathers, barbed wire, Levi jeans) I am excited to see if my vision is as cute out of my head as in. Also we went to the NFR with my family. It is kind of a tradition now. We love it. Kaydence even went to the rodeo the first night, but was only happy for half of it( I'm pretty sure it was too loud!). So her grandma coates, and great aunt Treasa stayed behind(very excited) to play with her at the hotel. Kaydence was so good down there, I was super worried about taking her but she was fine. My mom decided she needed a family pic for Christmas cards on Sunday( didn't let us know til then either) so we all dug up some red and black ha ha and went down to the farm for some FREEZING pics. Kaydence even got the shivers I felt horrible, and I might add we are probably the most un-photogenic family ever ha ha ha. Well I think that is it. Hopefully we will have some great Christmas photos for my next post! Yay I have been so excited for Christmas this year I almost forgot about shopping( I just finished last night)! Thanks Carly for coming with me.
Kaydence Update...... Well so our little one is getting so big, in all meanings of the word. She is up to 14.5 pounds and growing ha ha, and is now trying to sit herself up when lying down( she doesn't get very far but she is trying. She can make thousands of sounds and coes, and millions of faces. She Still only poops 2 times a week, but it's getting more rank by the day. Eats every 2 hours, and sleeps through the night(since 1.5 months thank heavens). She can sit very well with a little help, but is still tipsy. She likes cereal, and it has to be thick(she just gets mad when i make it runny, i think she thinks I'm screwing with her mommy milk hee hee). Overall she IS the best baby in the whole world(OK to me at least). She is So content and happy, I cannot believe she has almost been with us for 4 months now. Who knows if I even did anything before she was here( I can't remember if I did). She is my whole life and LOVE being mommy, and love seeing John with his little girl,. Nothing in the world makes me happier.

Kaydence was not going to let me put her down while I was making homemade candy(yummy) so I got out the baby bjorn!

My Funny family!

Homemade tree decor. Aren't they the best.

I made the Mr. and Mrs. Clause. The Blocks say winter, and there is my one and only nativity(it snowman!)

Grandpa and his cow girl( secretly Sh only wore the hat that night, and we are giving it to her for Christmas) The hat looks funny right there but that's the only good pic of grandpa.
