Playing with dad in the water!

The fun slide!

Fishing

Nap time

We made a quick trip to Powell with the Paul Dyreng family. John and I are Kent and Tammy's children( ha ha). Well We left thursday afternoon and got back sunday evening. We had tons of fun, I can't believe we were only there for 3 days!

Trip for the Klepfer Family Reunion& Cake fun!

I love when Kaydence gets to spend time with her cousins!

I took the picture of the Buffalo through binoculars! Now that was hard.

We got her the shades while on our trip. She was so funny but after 3 days of putting them back on right after she would take them off, she has given up and wears them! Yeah.She slept through all the fireworks( they weren't quiet either!)

Yup Kaydence is taking longer naps. I did cheat and use a box cake, but John wont know. Hee Hee. Not to bad for learning from and article I found on the web.

June fun!

The Coates Cowgirls! Mindy and I decided that we would take some really cute outdoorsy pictures for my dad for fathers Day, well I don't think it was supposed to happen, both the girls were naughty! Kaydence especially!! Then I went to print them out and I couldn't get my card to read! Whatever.


How cute is this? It's a mini horse's baby! It's so tiny, My uncle has a bunch of these in Mayfield, so my mom and I took a ride up to see the new baby.

Mindy and I also floated the river. Yup we are both 20+ and acting like 10 year olds! We had so much fun, the water was very chilly(of course right it's straight from the mountain top). My mom and dad watched our babies, while we had a nice calm float down the city river.

I went to Brice Canyon this afternoon. We took my cousin and her boyfriend(who are from TX). What a long drive but it was really beautiful. There was a nice breeze to keep things from being hot. both babies were really good.

This is how you'll find Kaydence and Atley now days. Kaydence strolls around Atley, while she is in her play area. They are so dang cute together. Yes they have already pulled each others hair, made one another cry and laugh! We are in for some interesting times!

Ya Kaydence has some moves. You should see her when she is in her car seat. It's hilarious!

Post Vacation Happenings

John finally finished our front door! Wow he is so good at everything he does. ha ha. I love our door and the fact that I designed it and John built it is so cool to me!

Ok so we went to the lake on Mikes boat for the first outing of the year.No body would go with us so It was just John Kaydence and I for a while, but David Crane came out a while later. I went wake boarding for the first time since becoming prego. I didn't even crash too bad. I took Kaydence out on the tube, she loved it. John also Wake boarded a little the water was great, a little cold, but we live in Utah. Ha Ha.

My brother was ordained an Elder last Thursday by John, then Zack was able to bless my niece that Sunday! I was so proud that John was the person Zack asked. It really meant a lot to me. I'm glad that Zack now has the priesthood in his home and can bless his little family anytime. And I could never catch their family together so Ididn't get a picture of them. But here we are. ha ha

I've been a little photo happy, Kadence is just so cute. I was waiting for my parents to go help them herd some cows so I sat Kayde down and snappy snappy, but I love the pictures. I also got some of her up 12 mile canyon while John was at a bow shoot deal. they were fun cause she had her little camo outfit on. then after my mom and grandma decorated grave for memorial day they had extra so I stuck kayd in amongst them. I Love being a mom so much! It is such a blessing I get to play with her all day, and not miss out on any thing!!!

A taste of our Vacation

John and I had a fun time, our condo was nice(for where we were at) We had a nice surprise right off. our car had been rented out, so they upgraded us to a Jeep. We loved that. I doubt you can read my inset, but it just says that we were on the 4th floor(the top) there were no stairs, the views were amazing and we had a mini kitchen that I thought would be a full. so over all it was all that we needed.

The first of many. I'm slow, but I'm painting my house working in the yard, and helping my parents with the cows( I just go for the ride ha ha). Any way I'm busy, so I'm trying.

Ok here is our Deep sea fishing trip hopefully it works. we were by far the best fishers( is that the right term) of every one on the boat. we did what they call a party mix, you just pay for your trip and not to rent the whole boat. it was about 2/3 cheaper that way, and we got to meet a few new people. any way John caught a giant King fish the captain said it was the biggest catch of the day, but it is considered a trash fish so we couldn't eat it. I was able to catch a 20 lb Tuna. It was the only whole edible fish caught on our trip. every one else kept getting eaten by the sharks. Yup I just said Sharks, One guy even caught one. I also caught 2 baracuda's ha ha, John got a needle fish and some other thing. Man it's a good thing I'm getting this down befor I forget more info.

Were home!

We are back from our trip! I'm trying to do something cute with our pictures so it will take a minute to get them on here.

Fixin up/Last Time.....

So we have been busy. I decided to start my bow club this month (Thanks every one who was able to make it, I had a great night). So like usual I decided to fix up a room, well it was the basement room, I had already gotten the paint back in January so John and I went to town. The color went from fry sauce pink to a cream yellow(ya I think it's the same as my front room upstairs.I love the way it turned out, I also went through some of my left over decorations I got from our wedding to decorate, and of course Johns deer. Whatever, three is his number and he is proud of them, but they HAVE to stay downstairs.

New Hall light

This was an old light but it was a shiny gold, so I bought a can of spray paint, they look brand new!Not a bad fix for $3( the new lights I wanteed were close to $100 for 2)

I can pull myself up to almost anything. I started doing this like 5 days after I decided to crawl.

First Baby cone. That darn Grandma.

Our new fascination! The ground, she loves being carried like this.

OK So as some of you know John and I decided to go to the virgin islands for our vacation this year. We wanted to really enjoy ourselves so we are leaving Kaydence with her grandparents( both sets, my parents on the weekends, and Johns during the week). We decided that would be best for her and us. Well the only bad thing about leaving her behind, besides missing her and almost crying at the thought of leaving her, is I'm still nursing.Yikes, so after weeks of debating on if I should pump and dump while on my trip, or "dry up" for lack of a better term, I went to the doctor to see his "professional opinion". He advised me she should be fine to just go straight to cows milk( she has massive problems with formula). So as of 10:00 this morning it was the last time Kayde and I get to nurse. I will kind of miss the bonding time, but am really glad to be done. So mom's what is the best/fastest way to do this? I can't change my mind I hear it can be quite painful, I'm not to that stage yet.... so any mommy to mommy tips?
