Recent Activities

Today we went to the fire station with our preschool playgroup. We take turns having field trips and then having lessons at our homes. The firefighters were great. (Back track a little bit: Cade recently got a CTR ring from his Primary class at church. Before we left this morning he told me wanted to wear it to show the firefighters.) First they showed a little video about fire safety. After the video was over, it was quiet and the firefighter asked what they had just learned about. Cade immediately jumps up and shows him his CTR ring. It was very sweet. Later they got to look at the fire trucks and see them in all their gear.

 We have had beautiful weather lately. We have been able to play outside and enjoy the sunshine. In December. In Kansas. Now that is the kind of Kansas I like.

Cade here is lifting his feet and "going wee!" as he calls it. He rides his bike down the incline with his feet raised. He has yet to learn to use pedals. Not sure why but he gets really frustrated with it. 

 Being charismatic as usual.

She loves the smile for the camera and is pretty good at it.

And lastly Cade and Rylee love to do things together. It is so cute to watch. Whatever they are doing just gets that more excited when the other comes to do it too.

New Years Eve 2011

We went to a quick trip to Dallas after Christmas. The BYU bowl game was down there and then the next day was New Years Eve so we partied in Plano. We did a whole plethora of various activities while we were there.
Dad and Cole took me and mom out shooting. Can you guess who planned that date? It was fun except I totally look like a girl when I shoot. And I didn't even shoot a single clay pigeon. Not one. I mean I tried and aimed and all that but, yea, it didn't really work out for me. My mom even got some! But I did enjoyed watching Cole shoot :) He looked a little more manly than I did.

My family already had tickets to see Les Miserables that weekend and since we were kind of last minute in coming they hurried and found another ticket for me to go!  I love that play. It was so good.

The extra guy up there is Ciera's boyfriend. He also came that weekend to meet the family. They met because he has seen her band and noticed that she was cute. Then Ciera had a class with his twin sister--I think. Anyway he tracked her down with some help and now they are together. Here is my favorite picture of the two.

And here is the gang at the BYU game. A pretty exciting one to watch.

We had a really fun time. We also enjoyed family game nights and WONDERFULLY warm weather. The kids, as always, loved Mimi and Papa's house. Rylee could say Mimi and Papa this time so that was really cute to hear her say. I'll end with a couple random pictures from the weekend.
