Christmas!

Christmas this year was ALOT of fun! Finally Lane was home for the first holiday all year long! He had to leave the day after Christmas so we headed to Escalante Early to celebrate with everyone and be back xmas days at our house! We were so spoiled this year! I loved being home and hated leaving this time! Kenaide got a little overwhelmed a couple days, but for doing 4 different xmas's she did really well and caught on fast! She loves her toys and I am likeing have a new distraction so I can get alittle something done!

K and Dad

A very common sight when Lane is home and "babysitting"

Lane is doing really good at work! The 15 hour drive is getting old, but it helps that he had 2 other guys to help with the driving. So far it hasn't be too cold like last year in ND, but there just waiting for it to hit and freeze them! He is moving up in the company and really enjoying the job itself!!

Haloween!!

This year for Haloween Lane was gone working so it was just "k" and I. A couple weeks ahead of time we went to the pumkin patch and took a hay ride to get pumpkins. We also got to ride in a "cho cho" which was alot of fun! This is the first year I have been at my own place for haloween. I'm usually always back in Escalante! So it was kindof intersting. I live in a nice neighborhood and appartently a popular one because I ran out of candy quick. I was answering the door ever 10 seconds for about 4 hours if not longer. It was crazy, but alot of fun! Kenadie caught on quick , so when the doorbell would ring she would beat me to the door. She knew I would kneel down so the little kids could get some candy, so everytime I did that she would take some candy for herself also! So cute! She was the cutest candy corn witch ever! I went back and forth with different costumes but just decided this was easiest and pretty cute!! We walked to our neighbors to trick or treat and thats about all be did, we hurried back home to be able to give out more candy! Overall it was pretty fun!




She found the bowl of candy!!

Painting pumpkins!

I was terrible and didn't get any pics during Thanksgiving!! Lane was also working during that time so I headed to Tuscon, AZ with my sisters and mom to see all my moms family! It has been quite a while since I have been back there and it was my grandmas frist time seeing Kenadie, along with all my cousins and aunts and uncles!! It was alot of fun to see them! Kenadie and Dylan are the only little kids around so they got SO MUCH attentions and LOVED every minute of it! K did really well with the long drive but on the way home it was a terrible long trip! We pulled over and changed clothes countless times from her being car sick!! We were so ready to be home!!

Summer!

This Summer has been crazy busy!! We have been to Vegas, camping, family reunion, lots of swimming in St. George and a ton of celebrations in Richfield! It has been so much fun. kenadie is 19 months today!! Along with Mine and Lanes 4 year anniversary! Crazy how fast it has gone by! My little girl is crazy fun but a HUGE handful. Mine and Lanes personality is coming out in her so much it scares me :) For her 18 month check up she was 33 in ( 81 %) and 27lbs (88%). My little chunkers is starting to thin out!! I love her rolls and will miss them :) She is talking up a storm. She is obsessed with her Owees, and uh oh! She can tell me how old she is, show me all her body parts and has long conversations with me with lots of hand gestures!!She has learned to twirl when she dances and she gets so dizzy she falls everytime. Kenadie loves DORA or as Kenadie says "D"! She can see and hear her a mile a way. She learned a dance from Dora and all we have to say is dora dance and she breaks it out. Then I tell her to "raise the roof" shes pretty good but it looks more like she is rapping then "raising the roof"!! I love it!

HOUSE!!!

This is just so you can see the WHITE walls before we painted, and the kitchen cabinets before I stained them. They had one small wall painted an ugly clay color, so painting was a BIG project!!

LIVING ROOM

Dining and kitchen, doors to back porch (can't wait to put tile instead of carpet in dining table :) )

Messy kitchen :) but I still love my cupboards!!

My weedy back yard!! yes that is tennis courts for the high school in the back yard!! On the postive side, I will never have neighbnors behind me!!

Finally I have pics of the house for all of you that have asked :) .In February of this year we signed on our first home. Were living in Monroe and absoloutly love it. I'm so happy to be back in this area. We have a 3 bedroom, and 2 bath. Full unfinished basement and on what I believe is a half acre. We live in the best neighborhood possible, which is what made me want this house the most. We have been so busy doing projects. We are trying to get one room finished downstairs so I can bring my nail stuff down here, and it will also be an eyelash room. I have painted almost the entire house. All thats left is spots where I can't get to so its just patiently waiting on Lane to get to it! I (a little of lane) took on the project of staining our kitchen cupboars. Man does it look so much better. But just makes me want to get the bathroom cupboards done even more. Our back yard is nothing but dirt adn weeds, so its a big project its self. I doubt we get to, or can even aford to get it landscaped till next year, but its ok cause I have quite a bit of grass in the front. I only took pics of the rooms that wern't a complete mess :)
