Caden

Caden played his first season of baseball. It was machine pitch then they would bring out the T-ball stand if you needed it. He had fun on the Bees with coach Cole VandenAkker and Chad Cannon. He later did All-Stars in the summer and loved it. (more pictures on that to come)

Here is Caden in ready position at the pictures mound

He also played Spring Soccer. He really loves soccer and his Grandpa would give him a dollar a goal. One game he even got 11 goals. Sorry Papa! (Caden loves money! he he)

Way to go Caden!!! What a great year in school and sports. We sure do love you buddy!

Braces!!

Ellie was the first in our family to need braces. She needed an expander to help her bite and teeth grow in. She had the expander for a few months but was really excited to get some braces on from Dr. Maxfied/ Popsy! She defiantly got the VIP treatment. Thanks Popsy for taking care of us. I worked for my dad in college and full time for 4 years until I had kids. And I was totally one of those moms who came back and took pictures! he he!

James is 3

April 4, 2013

Our cute JamesE turned Three!

He loves superheros especially Batman. He always wants to wear a superhero shirt and basketball shorts. He has the cutest dimples and is very sweet to his baby sister. He loves playing with his toys and his big brother. He has a great imagination and has no problem playing in the toy room by himself. He is still working on getting on the "Potty Train" as he would call it. He loves music and has many of what he calls "my songs" on the radio. His favorite one right now is "Call Me Maybe". He is taking swimming lessons and soccer. Both very beginning level and getting used to both. James calls his baby cousin Marshall- his "Best Friend Marshall". He also refers to Eliza as "Her", "Her is crying, Mom". James is quite the character and entertainer. He loves to dance to his songs and loves to play swords and guns. He is very smiley and Happy.We love his fun personality and sweet spirit. Love you - James

Easter 2013

This year I took the kids to the Holladay Lions Club for a swimming Easter Egg Hunt.

They swam around (in different age groups) and picked up the plastic empty eggs then turned them in for a prize bag. It was something fun and totally different.

Eliza even got to go swimming after the hunt for the first time!
