The baby LOVES his baths!

Happy Birthday Hunter

Hunter turned 5 on Dec 22. This year for his birthday he wanted to go to Jump 'N Bounce. He got to invite three friends, and they had a blast. Then that night we had our family over for cake and ice cream. He had his five year check up and the doctor says he's all ready to start Kindergarten. He goes to preschool and loves it. Hunter is big on playing out side, and playing with friends. He has been such a fun little boy to have at our house, and adds so much joy. We sure love you buddy!

They grow so fast

I found the cutest little outfit to bring Kade home in. He looked freakin ADORABLE. Well I put it on him again for the last time at one month. It's so sad how fast they grow. Don't get me wrong I love it when they get bigger and start smiling, and playing, it's just sad to have him only a month and already have "LASTS".

Preschool Program

Hunter has a preschool programs three times a year. They always do a Christmas one and it is my very favorite. I love listening to these sweet adorable little kiddos sing Christmas carols. It's so fun. This year they had two programs they got to sing at the Valley Fair Mall, and they sang at the Library. They had two special guests at the library, Santa and Mrs. Clause came to see them. We had a great time, and after the program we got to go out for ice cream. So much FUN!

Welcome Kade Michael Miner

Our sweet amazing little Kade was born two weeks early on Monday Nov. 15 at 4:28 pm. He weighed 5 lbs 13 oz, and was 18.5 inches long. It's so much fun to see how much love our family has to give this little miracle. I love watching Chad love and cuddle his little boy. Hunter is thrilled to be an older brother he can't get enough of him, and just stares in amazement. I'm so excited to have a newborn in our home, and can't get enough of the sweet spirit he brings with him. He is such a miracle. I can't even begin to express how grateful I am to my Heavenly Father for this amazing gift. My labor was fantastic. I went to the hospital and he was born an hour and a half after. I feel great, and Kade is doing fantastic. My work does pictures from a company called Bella baby. If you want to check them out here's the info. Long on to bellababyphotography.com.

SuPeRhErO training camp

Hunter went to the cutest party last week. It was super hero training camp. The did all sorts of "training exercise", and got their faces painted. I think when Hunter came home he was sure he was a real superhero.

Welcome back 'eh

My little brother is finally home. He served the last two years in the Canada, Toronto East mission. He has 3 new brother in laws. Two new nephews and niece. He and Chad have never met so I was really excited for Chad to get to know him. I wasn't sure if Hunter would remember him or not, well he does and he has been so excited to have him home. First thing every morning Hunter asks if we can call and see if Uncle Matt can play. Well Matt is kinda board, so we go over there a lot, and they have fun playing. Matt has even babysat Hunter while I worked the past few days. When Matt first got off the plane it took me a couple minutes to figure out which one he was, he looked so good. I'm amazed at how much he has grown up (I guess living with out your mommy for a couple years will do that to a boy), however in a lot of ways he is still the same goofy boy that left. Were excited to have you back. Welcome home.

Fresh off the plane


Hunter waiting patiently



Not Matt, but I think my little nephew Sawyer is the most adorable little guy you'll ever see so I had to put a picture of him up.


Here's all the nephews. Maddison still wasn't sure she liked Uncle Matt yet so she wouldn't get close enough for the picture.

Bear Lake

We decided to take our little family on a trip to Bear Lake last weekend. Hunter and I have never been. We had a blast. We played the whole day at the beach. We went swimming
Had a water fight
Chad and Hunter Built a sand castle, then Hunter got to knock it down.

Chad buried Hunter in the sand, if you look closely you can see me sleeping in the back. I had a great time


we had so much fun we completely exhausted Hunter.

Putt for PKU

I have two very cute little nephews with PKU. Their mom (Sara) is on the PKU board for Utah, and she helped put together a fundraiser where we went to the Salt Lake Arts Center and got to miniature golf. It was really cool. All of the 18 holes were actually created by artists, and the holes them selves were art. We had so much fun. Thanks Sara!

Cute little Jackson

Our Baby

I went to my cousins baby shower last night and all my aunts were asking me if we knew what this little baby growing inside me was. Well we do and we have now for like six weeks. My aunts all told me they were sure I would post it on my blog as soon as I found out. Well obviously I didn't, so I will now. Here are a few pictures of our cute little peanut.

Friday Night Family Fun

We decided that we would go to nickelcade on Friday night for something to do as a family. Who knew somewhere so dirty and trashy could be so much fun. We are totally going back, apparently I like video games, plus it's hours of entertainment for less than 20 bucks.

tHe ZoO

Every year my Sis and I get a zoo pass together. This was our first of many trips to the Zoo this summer. All my mom's grandkids were came, and we spent four hours there. I love the zoo!

Grandma Heals

Every Monday Grandma Heal (Chad's Grandma) gets irrigation in her yard. She is the sweetest lady, and always invites us over to play in the water. She makes sure to have plenty of treats for the kids. Grandma always takes care of me too and makes sure there is plenty of Diet Dr. Pepper. This last week the Dad's had Monday off, so we all got to go as families, Hunter loved it because Chad and he used the grass as a GIANT slip and slide. I loved it because I got to just sit in the shade and watch. I didn't have to play with Chad there. We had such a fun time.
