Kaden started school!

Yup, that's right! Kaden started preschool last week. He goes on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:30-11:30. He LOVES it!! We are doing it with a group from our ward. There are 4 kids total, and all the mom's are taking turns teaching. Kaden is almost a full year younger than all the other kids, but he is still having a blast. He's been begging me to go to school every day for the last 6 months.

And one more picture of my cuties!

Also, I got my wedding ring back yesterday. Yay! I haven't been able to wear it in about a year. First I lost weight when I was pregnant and didn't want to loose it, so I didn't wear it. Then, the prongs were loose and I didn't want to loose my diamond. I picked it up from the jeweler yesterday after getting all four prongs fixed. It feels so wierd to be wearing it again. But I'm happy to be able to wear it again!

Me and my Man!

I stole this idea from Katie's blog!

4. How old is your man? 26 1/2

You or your man?

1. Who eats more? Pretty equal
2. Who said "I love you" first? He did. We had known eachother for only two weeks, so it freaked me out a little.
3. Who weighs more? We weigh pretty close to the same, but he's a lot taller than me, therefore I'm a little more roundish.
4. Who sings better? Hmmm, I don't know. Probably about the same.
5. Who's Older? Him by one and a half years
6. Who's smarter? Him book smart me everyhting else!! ;)
7. Who's temper is worse? That's a pretty even match.
8. Who does the laundry? Me
9. Who does the dishes? Me
10. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me
11. Who's feet are bigger? Brent's
12. Who's hair is longer? mine, Brent doesn't have enough hair to grow it out longer than mine! But don't tell him I said that! ;)

22. Who named your dog? We don't have a dog. We used to have a dog named Sadie, and we named her together.
23. Who kissed who first? Brent asked if he could kiss me. I gave him some tounge and he was more than a little surprised. He was only going to give me a peck on the lips. He had only been home from his mission for a month and a half and hadn't kissed anyone else yet.
24. Who asked who out? Technically, we didn't have our first date until we had already been dating for two weeks. We met through friends and just hung out every night.

30. Who wears the pants in the relationship? Hmmm... I would say Brent a little more so than me. And I'm okay with that!

Pictures!!!

Okay, I've spent literally hours on my computer today, and I finally got some pictures downloaded (Grrr... see post from yesterday)! Yay!!! Here we go:

This is of the kids in the bath last week. Kate's in her Bumbo chair. They had so much fun together! We have a big garden tub in our master bath that Kaden loves to take a bath in. He calls it his swimming pool. Once in a while I'll put Kate in with him for a few minutes, and he loves the company.

Kaden is riding his first bike ever (Grandma and Grandpa Hathcock gave it to him) for the first time yesterday! He's had it for a few months, but we just got the training wheels put on it.

Kaden and Kate love to play together. Kaden loves to try to make her laugh, and Kate just watches his every move. I love to watch them interact. Kaden is such a good brother.

Another picture of Kaden. He's riding a horse ride in from of an antique store here in Payson when Brent's family came up for the 4th of July. He thought it was the coolest thing ever and rode it for about 15 minutes before I had to drag him off.

And one last picture of my little angel. She is so sweet! I just can't get enough of her.

Stupid computer!!!

Okay, so I got a new digital camera a few months ago for my birthday and I have TONS of pictures on it but my ancient computer is retarded and won't let me download the pictures for some reason. Anyway, I wanted to post new pics of the kids but I'll have to wait until later. I've been fighting this for about a month, and still can't seem to figure it out. My last camera was really easy, but the new one is more hi-tech. It takes great pics, but what good is that if I can't share them with anyone?! Grrr!!!
Anyway, I had professional pics taken of the kids on Tuesday, so when I get those back I'll be sure to scan them so I can share!

Kate's 6 month check up

Kate had her 6 month check up on Tuesday. She only weighed 11 lbs 5 oz. She went down on the growth chart from the 5th percentile to below 0. I guess she's going to be just like Kaden! The little stinker! :) But she is otherwise in every way healthy. While we were at the doctor's office, Kaden fell off the steps at the end of the table where he was watching the doctor do her thing with Kate, but he tripped and landed on his head. He started screaming and got a big knot on his head. His doctor ran out and got him an ice pack, and checked his eye dilation for a few minutes to make sure he didn't have a concusion. I just thought it was ironic that it would happen while we were at the doctors office.

Holy Cow!

I have been so busy the last two weeks. After my Grandpa's surgery, he had a stroke. It affected his speech and memory. He is in a rehab center for a few more days before he goes home. From what I'm told, his doctors expect him to make a good recovery.
I spent most of last week at my mom's house helping her out after her hysterectamy that she had a little over a week ago. Things went well with that, except she had a roll of gauze left inside of her. It was removed with no further side effects. She's still a little sore, but doing better every day. She starts her teaching job again next week.
Also, I found out last week that Brent's uncle Kris has to have a double hip replacement and he's only 53, I think. They live up here by us in Pine.
And this really breaks my heart. I just found out last week that my sister Heidi's husband Devin is mostly blind now. He was diagnosed a while back with the juvenile form of Macular Degeneration, and his vision has been deteriorating. From what I'm told, he still has a little bit of peripheral vision. Heidi is due with her first baby in mid-October.
My sister Megan moved to Thatcher to go to college! She will be attending EAC. I can't believe she's that old already. Time sure flies!
My brother Heath and sister-in-law stayed with us over the weekend. The guys went scouting for Heath's upcoming antelope hunt, and Kayla and I and the kiddo's had fun hanging out and going to church.
So that brings me up to date. Boy, this has been a busy and rough few weeks! I will be back later to post a few pics.
