I LOVE THE SNOW!!!!!

Ready........ set................ go............

Kade is trying so hard to get his sleigh to do what he wants it too do. The concentration on his face is killing..... come on I can do this!!!!!

Fun in the snow!!!!

Kade is exhausted.....no wonder he looks like the kid on Christmas story, he can hardly move. I took this picture from inside my house I heard Kade and Mathew out there playing and laughing so I quietly opened the door and started taking pictures.

First big snow fall...........

Yesterday it snowed and snowed and snowed...... Kade had been home sick with the flu that is going around and missed Wednesday and Thursday of school and when he woke up Friday morning to 6 inches of snow he was sick again.... go figure. He didnt want to go to school, he wanted to stay home and play in the snow. Then I informed him "Kade, when you miss school then you don't play with friends or better yet outside in the cold." He quickly asked if it was short day and went to the bus stop. Last night Mathew and Kade played in the snow until way after dark. The snow from our driveway was built up high enough that from Mathews yard they could sled from his lawn onto our driveway. They loved it and had a blast. Kade woke up at 7 am and was ready to go again. 10am he got his bibs and snow gear all on and headed to Mathews and this is where I found them. They had walked over to the church and were sledding on the hill. Its still snowing in the surrounding mountains and is supposed to througout the day. Me on the other hand am waiting patiently for Ups to get here with presents so I can intercept him and hide the boxes. Kade was supposed to go to Dannys this weekend however yesterday I couldnt get through the canyon because of the snow. So he is staying here this weekend........ we are going to the Helper Light parade tonight. I will take pictures Im sure.

kades Surgery

Friday morning only two days after Halloween Kade and I traveled to Provo about 60 miles to the Utah Valley Medical Center. Kade was having surgery at 12:15pm. He was extremely nervous and starving! He had to have 4 teeth pulled to make room for his big boy teeth. He was brave and with a little sedation hardly recalls it. He struggled after the surgery keeping things in his empty tummy but over time he was ok. The next morning he was eating a bowl of trix cereal just fine. If you look close you might be able to see the first of his new teeth. WAY TO GO KADE!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween Finally........... Kade is so excited to get Candy.... candy... candy.... candy............. This is him ready to go trick or treating with Jack and Rylee.

Drayston, Dal and Tawni......

Drayston tried and tried to beat Tawni and I in a kettle car race. He was unsuccessful. Tawni and I got off the first time and had jello legs. Nice try Drayst.......... Dal did really well he only got stuck a couple times but maneuvered around pretty good. Way harder than it looks...... Tawni was way thirsty. No she just picked up someones waterbottle that they dropped.

Dal and Darren doing what they do best...

Thanksgiving point has is all...... Darren and Dal were roping the backwards cow.

Kade and Brynnli

There were slides and a big cobweb with elastic bands and a big jumping pillow. The kids had a blast! Brynnli and Kade our best buddies and had a lot of fun that night.

Cornbellys at Thanksgiving Point

Over the weekend Kade and his cousins Luke, Brynnli, Dal and Drayston went to Thanksgiving point and made there way through the corn maze and haunted monster. It was FREEZING!!!

Halloween Carnival

Kade is a ghoul/skeleton. He has a mask however he cannot wear it at school. He let me paint his face though. Sally Mauro Elementary celebrated Halloween on the 24th because of fall break. They had a carnival and spook alley. I helped with the carnival doing the putt putt and giving out treats. Kade has lots of friends and loves school.

Pumpkin Contest!!!!

Halloween is so fun!!! Kade cant hardly wait to go trick or treating and wear his SCARY costume.

Kade working hard!!! This is the famous 810 house as kade would call it.

Kade knows all the fourteen properties not only by whom occupies them but by physical address. Mom, "are we going to 810 house to work today or 41 Uintah?" As you can see he gets right down into it with us. We are taking a look at mold under a kitchen sink that our tenants neglected to let us know about. Kade loves Cam and mimicks what he does. Note the underwear......
Kade can tell you how to lay tile, grout, pull a camode and set a camode. Paint and whatever else he has helped us with. He loves getting down and dirty with us and loves learning. Now that he is in school he doesnt get to hang around so much.

Kade and Noah........
