Camping!

So once again I have been a huge slacker sorry. Any way while we were in Utah my parents and aunt Becky decided that they wanted to take the kids camping and holy cow were the kids excited! And to go along with the whole camping trip Brandyn got a new cars sleeping bag and Cadence got a princess sleeping bag. We went to Berston Ponds (sp?) down near Mona. It was really pretty. They got a spot right near the water so the kids could fish and them and the dogs could play in the water (which we couldn't keep Moose Bear or Annie out of lol). Because they were only camping for one night they had a lot of things to do...they fished for both fish and crayfish, played in the dirt, played in the water, fed the ducks, went for a walk, had a campfire, and made smores! They were so wore out when it was time to leave! But I know that they had a blast and keep asking when they get to go camping with grandma and grandpa again.

Marrying Uncle Ryan!

So my little brother Ryan's homecoming happened to fall on Cadence's birthday this year and because he didn't want to miss out on any of Cadence's birthday he decided to take her as his date. Cadence was so excited and kept telling everyone she was going to marry her uncle Ryan. She also made her daddy buy her a new pretty dress and of course shoes and crown to match lol. We had her aunt Kayla do her hair for her
and so Kasey and Brandyn didn't feel left out uncle Ryan decided to do their hair too
lol. After her hair was done she put on her dress and jewelry and went to wait for her date to pick her up.

She looked soooo pretty and she was so excited!! Once her "handsome prince" as she kept calling him, got back they exchanged corsage and boutonniere
after many attempts we finally got Ryan's on then it was time for pictures...

Ryan's friend Sara was such a great sport about the whole thing and Cadence loved her so much. We decided that only in Utah would someone be able to bring 2 dates to a dance lol.Then they went to the dance! They only ended up staying for about 20 minutes because Cadence got scared but she had a blast! Even though they didn't stay long Cadence still keeps talking about it. She was so excited she got to be uncle Ryan's first wife.

Cadence's 4th Birthday!!

So I have been super bad at this whole blogging thing so I am super sorry. In case you didn't know Cadence turned 4 a few weeks ago (9/25) and for her birthday we decided to take a trip up to Utah. We figured that way she could have a party with all of our family. She decided that this year she wanted her party at Classic in Sandy. Eric and I were both excited that she didn't want Chuck E Cheese again lol. She got to get a new out fit for her birthday. . She had a lot of people come to her party her cousins, Miss Emily, Miss Tiffany and Kaisen, Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Dallas and Aunt Kayla, Uncle Ryan and his friend Sarah, Uncle Sean Aubrey Deacon and Noah, and Grandpa Mark all came. I think her favorite part was the blast zone. In there she got to shoot people with balls. There was also this huge slide that they had a blast going down.


There was also a bunch of big blow up play equipment. Brandyn even got grandma and grandpa to go on it

There was also a part that was like a play place. Eric took some of the kids up there to play.
Sometimes I wonder if he uses the kids as an excuse to go play lol. When it was time to do the cake she had a hard time blowing out the candles but after a few times she got them all. After her party we went back to grandma and grandpas for a BBQ. We played croquet, and grandpa taught Brandyn how to drive his bobcat
. Hopefully Cadence had a great birthday cause I know we all had fun!
