I'm so excited to hear that everyone is doing well. I have been trying to keep the kids busy. Here are a few of the things we have done.




We went to Deannna Rose Farm, It is a free place to get in with lots of fun animals to see






We have had fun playing in the sprinklers and rolling down the hill in the back yard



















Carter lost his first tooth this week


















We have been to the park a few times, the boys love the tire swing, and Carter is starting to figure out the monkey bars



This last weekend we went camping up at Smithville lake, The campground and boat ramps are about 30 min from our house. We didn't take the skiis as they are not yet registered here in MO but we did enjoy a morning hike and the campgrounds. It stormed most of the night and we got soaken wet. At least it made it exciting and fun. We went with Carine and Mike who went to school with Zach and also took a job here with Cerner.

Zach trying to start the fire again after the down pour last night. The lantern didn't work so he used the fuel from that to dry out the wood and light the fire.




I borrowed a baby backpack so that we could go for a hike. After the late night with the storm we ended up just walking around the trail by the campground. Kendall did like the backpack though.




She was just being so cute I had to take a picture!











Anyways hope you all enjoy the pictures. I would love to see what you guys are all up to.

Tonight Cerner is having their company party? type thing at the baseball game so we are headed out there this evening. It should be pretty fun. I will probabally take some more pictures and tell you all about it later.

love to you all

HEY I AM A TOTAL SLACKER!!

OKAY NOW THAT I HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET BACK INTO THE BLOG, I WON'T BE SUCH A SLACKER.

Just wanted to give everyone a little update. I am 18 weeks along, and we go in on July 12th to have an ultra sound to see if its a boy or a girl. Luckily the sick part of the pregnancy is over, just dealing with the heartburn now. Kaden is convinced that it is a baby sister, but we will see. I heard the heartbeat of the baby and it was a lot faster than I remember Kaden's being, so we will see if that has anything to do with it.

Work has been good, and we have been busy. I had to let go one of the general managers we had in training, he ended up being a total loser. In the whole month he was with us he called in 3 times. I thought he would actually want a job with us?!? I don't get it. I have been busy trying to teach a lot of things that I do to different people so that I will not feel overwhelmed when the time draws nearer.

Justin has taken over Park Mall. He enjoys it there and just promoted an assistant manager for himself. Justin Monzingo, you might know the family there are in our ward. Very nice people and Justin M is doing an amazing job. Justin is also working on setting up a website for us, and learning how we make a little extra money. Any suggestions, pump them this way. We are still in the primary teaching the five year olds and it is a ton of fun. They are so funny and especially energetic. We bring a little snack of carrots or crackers or grapes to keep them a tied over while we do the lesson, but overall they are really great kids.

Kaden is getting SO BIG! He has started to use the potty, and decided he is big enough to go now. He decides for the day if he wants to wear his shrek or cars underwear or his diaper, and usually picks the underwear. He is starting to tell us that he needs to use the potty and that has been a relief. We haven't pushed to issue at all, just let him decide when he is ready since life is so busy. For the most part though Justin and I work opposite shifts, so Kaden is home most of the day which makes it much easier for him. He says lots of funny things now. On Sunday he was being really roudy, and kept saying poopyhead (wonder where he learned that one from) and so Justin said "I will make you a poopyhead" and farted on his head. The funny part was Kaden got really serious and said "Daddy I want to see it." and we were both like "See what?" and Kaden says "I want to see the poop Daddy" Kaden had thought that Justin had pooped his pants, and I laughed until I was crying. He also totally siked out Mom the other day. He went over to Mom and Dad's house to play while Sebastien came over to pull the weeds in the backyard and earn some money. Mom always give him oranges in a cup. So Mom says "Come up here and sit by me and I will give you some oranges." So he goes up on their bed gets the oranges, climbs back down and goes "Just Kidding" He is way too smart for his own good. But he makes us laugh a lot.

Well hopefully, that gives you all a little update as to how everything is going. How all is well.
