Texas!!! Wedding and Sea World(with our Daddy)

 We had the best trip.  My cousin Jessica just got married in San Antonio. She was a beautiful bride, I can't wait to see what fun things her and her new Husband Eric do! My Dad and John traveled down  Thursday so they could work a few more days, while the rest of us, Grandma rene, my mom, brother Zack and his family All flew out Tuesday so we could help my Aunt with last minute details before the wedding. Besides the 4 days of rain and 40 degree weather I really had a great time.

What does it take for  8 Adults and 4 kids under 4 to travel??? All this and  more!!! Ha HA, The shuttle guy thought we were NUTS I am sure.

Nothing like having 2 babies passed out in the car when you are alone at a hotel... yup they both ended up waking up By the time I got them out and in the room, and D'Enna thought she had slept for the the night. 2 am bedtime that night.

Sea World

So have you seen a cuter baby? This girl LOVED LOVED LOVED  the dolphin, bird, diving show! She was so cute clapping and squealing  the entire show. 

Pretty sweet camera on my phone. ha ha. She Shamu show still isn't what it used to be when  they trainers swam with the whales. who cares if someone got ate.... ok that might have been terrible.

 You thought these were squeakers, nope children chew toys. Or Maybe D'Enna's is attacking her?

 All us crazy tired kids, Ashley, Carla, Brandy, Mindy is hiding, and McCoy and Atley fast asleep

So what would  Texas be with out some new hair styles? Have you guys seen these crazy curlers, no heat, and they don't pull your hair, I slept ...OK in them and kaydence thought they were fun ALIEN  hairs.

D'Enna's hair is coming in so well! I can't wait to start the games of killer hair styles. 

 So my mom treated all the girls( minus D'Enna too little for the china spa) for manicure or pedicures!!! Kaydence and Atley were so funny. This is Atley getting her piggies painted.

So a few of the bridesmaids asked if I could help with hair( still not sure how I got nominated) But I was super excited to be able to help. Not to mention the dressing room was SSSOOO MUCH FUN!!

So my aunt rented a 15 passenger van to tote all of the relatives around for the wedding since so many of us flew in.  My mom was the designated driver, but this night she got a little crazy with her parking skills! If you can't tell she parked oh 10 feet away from the curb. no big deal in the city, hee hee hee

My cousin has a super awesome  band(by me saying that does it make it lame?) anyway Hardluck Heros look them up!  He didn't play til midnight so we went to Whataburger after and  had a lot of fun making  memories!!!

We had a great night with my cousins at  a Spurs VS Wizards? game. ha ha. the stadium had sweet seats! And the Spurs won.. I guess it was a no brainer but still a great night out.

Valentines

Valentines day was  fun this year. I got to create Kaydences first  valentine box. We got on Pinterest and found a shark. Then we made Sally!

 I made dinner for John and He got me beautiful flows, they were fun they came from proflowers.com so when we got them none of the buds were very open but then about 4 days later I had a beautiful bouquet! and I and then we went to a movie it was fun to have date night!

 Kaydence had Heart hair. I have a hard time remembering to take  pictures before she has gone to school usually because we are running out the door so we aren't late.

UGGGG!

We spent a week in Utah it was so much fun . We visited Carly and her little family seen her new Gorgeous home while my mom went to school Nutrition meetings In Saint George. We got stuck in Cedar City on the way home with snow, so we had dinner and took the girls to Beauty and the Beast in 3D, Kaydence wasn't a fan of the glasses. We got up the next morning to find tons of snow and Ice. We were so thankful for the "GET OFF THE ROAD" feeling my mom and I both got the night before. I also was able to train on how to stamp disks for necklaces! This is so fun, I can't wait to get my parties going with my jewelry I just signed on to be a consultant with janeandme.com . I finished with that and got to go to a baby shower with our friends up in Bountiful. Then home and Saturday I had ANOTHER baby shower. I have about a million friends that have been pregnant or are due in the next few months. Now we are back in Idaho. Just in time for Kaydence to get a cold and pink eye and then to share her cold with D'Enna and I. Hopefully we can keep the pink eye under control.

Playing with grandma when it was bedtime!

 Late night run to Home Depot, cause we could and were stuck in Cedar City.

 Pink Eye, what it takes to knock a kid out! Or the fact she was up til 4 am battling a crazy fever with me in the er...

New school

Since moving we took Kaydence out of preschool..... well after 3 weeks of she and I getting TOTALLY bored with each other John and I decided she needed some friends, and interaction with kids.  So we had been asking around and found this "little Learners" academy. It is so cute they have class pets, and the teachers are super creative. She goes Monday- Wednesday and loves it. Class starts at 9:30 and with us girls and our sleepy heads it has taken a lot to get used to being ready and out the door by 9:15 ha ha. But She loves it, and we are all getting along again. :)

January and December Phone sillies

So we were hanging out and I noticed little D'Enna's  drawers had fallen it was soo funny  we called her our little Wade baby( wade is one of the guys john works with that AAALLLLWWWAAYS had his crack hanging out. But Kaydence thought it was so funny so she tried to join in on the silly.

 So John's Birthday was the 17th a big 28 wow we are getting old. I got him an XBOX 360 I don't know if I am just retarded or that good of a wife. Ha ha. Long story short he came home from work I was cooking dinner and nobody was watching the girls. D'Enna got into the Oreo cookies Kaydence had eaten all the frosting  off of.

 Trading places. These girls seriously are so funny together. They both thought the other was so sneaky and funny.

 D'Enna is the silliest, she is crawling like crazy but somehow is always getting stuck.

12-20-11

 So mother nature has kind of skipped winter. The girls and I were out exploring ( it was on the 3 of January!!!) Anyways we found a million Lady bugs. The girls thought they were the neatest thing.

That is all I hope to do a mini picture post like this often off my phone, because we all know the camera on our phone is the most handy and tends to catch the best stuff. at least at our house it does.

First Visitors, New Years

My parents came up to see our new place over new years. it was so good to see them. Kaydence was excited she just stuttered. it was so fun to see her that happy over something.  While they were here we went sight seeing over to the city or rocks, a bunch of rock formations they were super neat. we also went bowling and had Pizza for dinner then watched movies and had a new year kiss and hit the sack.

Kayde and her daddy. thumbs up!

 This was how excited I was to be bowling, I think I would rather have my teeth pulled. I really should just watch my scores would be higher.

 Papa Mark strutting his stuff.

 The other grandma, as Kaydence has named her, helping out.

 Our big girl. She thought she was so cool. We need to do this again.

 Bowling Feet, got to love the shoes.

 Daddy, throwing another strike!

I think we were all sad when my parents had to return home. But we sure had fun while they were here.

Cheers to a new year full of surprises!!

Christmas

This year we went to grandma Kloepfer's for Christmas Eve. We have a pot luck dinner, sh had subs and everyone brought the salads and other things.After dinner she has all her Grand kids(that are willing) dress up and act out the Nativity, while she plays piano  and everyone else sings songs, and reads the story out of the Bible. So fun.

Kaydence and Ty, her favorite new buddy were Marry and Joesph. She was so good and stood there quietly and loved her baby Jesus. I think we are  going to let her be marry more often. ha ha

Well Christmas was so fun. Kaydence had a blast unwrapping gifts and helping D'Enna. Kaydence got spoiled as usual. Leap pad, Polly pockets and Squnkies and the usual clothes. D'Enna got a Elephant that shoots balls around, and a few other toys and clothes. John and I got clothes. The family got a new DVD surround sound  system, Church toys, and A BRAND NEW CAR. lol really we did.

So this is the only picture I have of Christmas day. Kaydence playing with her leap pad.

Here is my new car. Our edge had gotten a bunch of miles, the seats were getting stained and it didn't have 4-wheel drive. We had been looking for a car for a while and I ran onto the new Durrango. I love the design, it has leather , 4-wheel drive and every option I could dream of!! It handles like a car.

So This video was from John's Uncle Marty's. We went over to his house after Grandma Kloepfer's on Christmas Eve. She was super excited that Santa really knew she wanted a Polly pockets.

We had an amazing Christmas even being up in Idaho. ha ha ha. We did sneak in a mini Christmas with my family before we left so i didn't feel like I missed out on too much.

John and I have truly been so blessed once again. I can't believe how lucky we are to have such a strong relationship even with the traveling he has to do. Our Kids are hardly ever sick, and so fun, smart and beautiful! Hope all is well.
