Grandpa Mark's Vist

First off we would like to let everyone know that Kasey can roll over! She has been doing it for about 2 weeks now.

So over the weekend Eric's dad Mark came to visit. Both Cadence and Brandyn had to go to the airport Friday night to pick him up. Once they got back Cadence had to keep showing him everyone's room. I think she was a little excited lol. On Saturday Cadence and I went out for a girls day. We got our nails painted, we were supposed to get our toes done but she was scared to sit in the "big tall chairs" I also got my hair cut and she was so excited to get hers done until we got there and then she wasn't going to have anything to do with that lol. Then we went to lunch with Eric, Brandyn, Kasey and Mark. After lunch Cadence didn't want to go home so we went shopping at the mall. Holy cow that girl loves to shop. We had to go in every single store in the mall before we could leave. Once we got home we played outside and went to the park.




Then we went out to dinner and came home and played outside some more. The kids just love to play outside. On Sunday we went to the zoo. The kids love going to the zoo and seeing all the animals. This time when we went it was a little more interesting because I think all of the animals were in heat or something because they were all going at it. Even the turtles in the petting zoo. It cracked me up listening to all the parents try and explain what the animals were doing including Eric. He told Cadence that they were just wrestling and playing. While at the zoo we went on the train and the merry go round. The kids loved it!




We also have a new addition to our family. Meet Einstein:

He is a 4 year old catahoula leopard dog. We adopted him so he would not be put down. He is very smart and already trained which is way nice so we dont have to go through the puppy stage. He is such a big sweetheart and fits so well into our family. I think that he is going to end up being Kasey dog. He loves to lay on the floor with her. Well that s about all that is going on in our lives at the moment!

To Fill Everyone In!

So I have decided to try and do a blog for everyone that We don't talk to all the time and for everyone that doesn't have a facebook so they can see what is going on in our lives!
So if you haven't heard already we moved to Surprise Arizona! We both wanted something new and Eric is going to MMI (Motorcycle Mechanic Institute). We got into a 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bathroom house that is super cute.
It is amazing how different things are here from Utah. But I think that its a good different.Eric has found a job that he really likes. He is a service adviser for a full service auto shop. And I am staying home with the kids.
We got the kids pictures taken and they turned out super cute! Especially because Cadence and Brandyn were being so shy. Parts of the picture are dark because the picture was to big to big to fit in our scanner.




We also went to an Easter egg hunt here through the city and the kids had a blast! The Easter Bunny and his wife were there but neither of the kids would go see them.
I think that all of us are really enjoying it here. I think the kids like it here because we can play outside everyday and there are 2 parks within Brandyn's walking distance that we visit at least once a day. Because we have been outside so much Cadence has learned how to ride her bike. She still has her training wheels on but now that she understands the concept of pedaling her bike I don't think that it will be long before she wants to ride a 2 wheeler.

With it being so nice outside we also had a chance to visit the Wildlife World Zoo. It was pretty cool. At the zoo you are able to feed the giraffes but neither of the kids wanted to in fact they were both scared lol. We were also able to get in touching distance of many of the animals including the white tigers.
So that has been pretty much how our life has gone since we have been down here thus far. We will keep you updated on whats going on down here in AZ :)
