Haylee's 9th B-day!

Grandma Jenkins came in town to celebrate! We went out to dinner, and the kids loved the dessert:)

Then, a few days later, we had her party. It was Halloween themed this year- so fun! We played Halloween bingo, the girls all made masks, and decorated skeleton cupcakes. They had a blast, and it was 2 straight hours of girlie screams and giggles, and all out laughter. I wouldn't expect anything else from this cute group of girls:)

*Lovin' Aggies Football*

This season has been a fun one so far! They are 5-0. Cade plays for the Arbor View High School Jr. Aggies as the QB. He has had a really good season, and with only 3 games left, I hope they finish just as strong!

 

Cade's best friend Allen is on the team too. It's been fun to hang out together at the practices and games, but they are moving soon to Ohio, and we are all so bummed:( At least they got this season together on the team though.

*First Day of School 2012*

Evan has finally started Kindergarten.

 Can you tell he is excited to go??

Cade- first day of 6th grade, and first day in middle school- at Cadwallader.

 My 3 big kids ready to go!

My beautiful Haylee ready to start 3rd grade! I can't believe she is getting so big.

Evan and Mrs. Ghering. We LOVE her:)

Haylee and Mrs. Davidson. She is so sweet:)

Best friends- Haylee and Amaya

The other set of best friends- Cade and Allen

Our annual Back to School dinner- complete with balloons and their own white boards to color on. So glad I had Kendal home with me to help me shop and decorate. What am I going to do next year with all of the kids in school?

We are looking forward to another great year! We love Bilbray, hopefully middle school wont be too bad either:)

End of Summer *Staycation*

We decided to take advantage of being locals, and went with Eric and Stephanie to the Golden Nugget. They have a beautiful pool, with a waterslide that goes right through a shark tank. Awesome!

Cade hanging out with Brielle. So sweet.

We left the hotel to go to In N Out for dinner. Suprisingly, in August, it was acutally cool enough to eat outside. Weird, I don't think we have ever done that!

Later that night, we decided to go on the Zip Line on Freemont Street. Cade was so nervous, and Haylee was dying to go on it. She was too small though, so she couldn't go. She was pretty bummed out:(

Steph took this picture of us as we were on it- and I love it! We had so much fun- and Cade said he couldn't wait to go again:)

Receiving the Priesthood

I don't think words can even express how happy I was this day. I am so proud of Cade, and the person he is growing into. He is an honest, hard working kid. He is so strong in the gospel. I love how he knows and understands. He truly believes, and works hard to obey. I pray that he always stays this strong. He is a good example to everyone around him. He is not one to give into peer pressure. He has always had that leadership quality about him. I hope he keeps it! Good job Cade- we all love you!

A Splashin' Good Time!

Another year, another birthday for my boys!

Cade turned 12

Bryce proved 33 isn't too old!!

Evan turned 6 (Not sure why these pictures are so out of order??)

I can't believe my boys are getting so big! Cade is ready to get the priesthood, and more than ready to move into Young Men's. Evan can't wait to go to Kindergarten. He has been so ready for a while now. I do love my boys!

 

 

This party was such a blast. Some people in our ward own this pool, and rent it out. This will definitely be a yearly event! We all had so much fun:) Now if only I could figure out how to add the video of the mom's jumping off the waterfall?? At least it's on FB;)
