Well we had a great holiday season!! We went to JOhn's parents cabin and sent about 4 days up there with ALL of john's family. Got to go to my parents house the 27 ish for christmas eve dinner and their gifts. We had a great New Years eve. with a few last minute frind phone calls. And Now are latest adventure is remodeling our kitchen! right now I literally have no kitchen sink. ha ha. We are are doing everything.
Kaydence Has been so good, well that might be a fib. she is getting very independent!!! She has cut 4 molars and the poor thing has had a really hard time with these compared to her regular teeth. She also got strep 2 days after we started our renovations. So we are living inbetween our house and my parents right now.
Sorry this is so short. I can't find my camera, but when I do I try to post some pictures.

Here is your holiday Card!

As always I am late getting my christmas cards out, but I should be getting them in the mail tody, bt here is your preview!

NFR and Kaydence!

Well as always we went to the NFR the first part of December. It was so much fun!!! We asked John's parents if they could watch Kaydence for us this year. we learned our lesson that it is so hard and not very much fun to have a little one with you in Vegas. So we left her home, and grandma and grandpa had fun as well as us! The rodeo was awesome as always. I have sooo many pictures. There was only one guy that actually rode the whole 8 seconds on a bull the 2 nights we were there. The animals were amazing! We wen to the cowboy Christmas's like always and had fun shopping. I finally found the wallet I've been looking for and it was actually a good deal, John found some Dream Boots ha ha. and we got a few people gifts!The tiny toilet! I about fell in it was so low. Can you imagine a tall person sitting on this thing?

My face explaining how much fun I was having with my Cowboy.

The tip of the hat( they do this at the first of this rodeo) It shows all the contestants and the States the are participating from Kind of neat.

John sang at this boot out front. He was very impressive. Maybe he'll do American Idol. ha ha. The girls loved him!

Bull riding

We made another quick trip to the cabin this month as well. It was really nasty, it snowed the whole time we were there. The boys were working on finishing the hand rails, so when all the grand kids get up there this weekend it is safe!!! Casen may or may not have had too much fun with grandmas pen while we played some cards. hee hee( sorry steph, it washed off). We( I) finished a few little decorations around the cabin as well. It was a great trip as always.

A picture I took out the moving Snow cat window( not to bad considering the conditions)

Kayde with her daddy, I love her beany!

Cason, after games( he had fun with a pen)

They relaxing effects of the cabin! Check out Kaydence's mouth. ha ha.

We had our ward party. It was fun .John was able to chat with friends, & Kaydence saw Santa. By that I mean she just wanted to see him, not touch or really be too close to him. Kaydence had her first big spill as well. She tripped and hit her face on the gym floor! It gave her a bloody nose and fat lip! I saw her fall and didn't think much about it, but then another ward member came over and was like kaydence is bleeding all over your sweater. Oops! She was fine, and I was comforting her, now if I can get the blood out of my clothes.

Her trying to sneak away her treat, with out having to sit on Santa's lap.
my effort to get her on his lap.
Her Christmas dress!

Kaydence got this dress from my mom for Christmas. I seriously think my mom has supplied her with at least 80 % of all her dresses! Thank You mom! It came with this silly little hat, I'm not normally a hat person, but I decided to let her wear it( thinking she'd rip it off) But Like all ways she was good and left it on. Kayde is now saying about 1-15 words I can understand, ha ha. She has really started to pick up on things, lets just say I am now no longer saying the s*** word. which in all honesty I don't say that often. Because she has repeated it a few times. YIKES!!!

We ( mindy, Anne, and my new buddy Judy) went to black Friday this year. What a blast!!!!!! We left Thursday at 7 so we could be in the Toys-r- us line for the midnight opening. Anne needed the "hot item" Zhu zhu pets for her girls and they only had so many. Needless to say it got messy when midnight came. We hit Mod Bod while half of us was in line holding our place at 11 pm, also Wal-Mart( they were paranoid after the death last year), Target, cabella's, back to toys-r- us for a few of the 5am sales that we were late for, babies -r-us. And then to In and Out burger by 8:30 am and ya it was yummy, the mall, Shopko and Finally home. We made it back by about 12:30 one ish but what a good trip of laughs, memories, and getting great deals!!!! Also I only have a tiny bit of shopping left to do .

John's Kill

Happy spook day!

We had a great week end. Kaydence was a white tiger for Halloween, I was a sexy cat, and john was a poor homemade mouse. He on the other hand cut off his tail and ears, and now has super comfy lounge clothes. We went to Manti's trunk or treat, wow it is HUGE! I think most of sanpete goes. Like 4 of their Main Streets blocks were closed off, and full of cars, candy and trick or treaters young and old.

View of the porch, the corn was so awkward but I had it so it stayed.,

Can you see the pumpkin bum? that's all I could think of when I saw this. also John's pumpkin was a 2 for 1. kind of cool!

How cute, even with a grumpy face. ha ha She loves her bucket, I'm going to have to get more of these.

Looking for her extra stash.

The mouse and his 2 cats.

John being a pro carver.

She was eating the extra raw pieces loving life.

She has really got a knack for coloring

Taking her pumpkin to safety.
