Favorite Things

Filters. Just like contact lenses they are something you use for at least three times longer than the package says you can. Clay and I bought a cheap vacuum at Wal-Mart with our wedding money and we haven't changed the filter since. I would just take it out and clean it as best as I could. I just put in a new filter today and it was the best vacuuming in years. And recently the vacuum became Cade's best friend. He follows it all over the house.

Bath time. Cade loves his bath time especially since he figured out how to splash.

Heating. I think our furnace is a girl because it is very indecisive and emotional and will only turn on when it wants to. It's always exciting when it comes on.

Old Friends and a New Park

It's so funny how you revert back to who you were when you get together with family and old friends. We got to visit Clay's highschool friend Travis for his birthday. Thanks so much for inviting us Nicole. We had so much fun. It was so good to see everyone. And I got a lovely glimpse at what Clay was like in highschool. I'm glad they all made it through alive.

Yesterday my friend Heather and her cute kids came to visit from Indiana. We've been friends since fifth grade and hardly get to see her so it was a treat. We went to the new park they built about four blocks from our house. Thanks so much Heather for taking the time to see us.



Cade loved the swing. Notice the drool.

Yesterday was also Clay's parent's anniversary. We are so blessed to have them and their example. Thank you MartaMom and JerryDad for all you do for us.

Thanks for checking up on us!

Conference Weekend

Clay and I started a tradition of having a picnic up the Provo Canyon in between Conference sessions on Saturday. This is us three years ago. This was just a one time tradition. I guess we can try again in six months.

It's also been three years since Florence got a new nose job. If that stupid truck didn't have a hitch we would have been fine. Yay! Now insurance rates will go down.
We went home to Blackfoot this weekend and helped mom and dad put in a sprinkler system. Finally. We had fun seeing family and eating way too much. And Cade only fell down the stairs once.

Cade's new favorite thing is to go visit the duck pond that's only a few blocks from our house. I love that little guy.

Cade is starting to chunk up. He even has a roll on his big toe.

He's grown up so fast. We had to move his crib lower and Cade wanted to help.

Life's moving right along and we're enjoying the ride with all of it's bumps, turns and beautiful moments. Hope you enjoy the little things in life!

Our Little Escape Artist

It's official. Cade is mobile. I have mixed feelings about it.



So the first thing he does is he tries to escape.

Now my life consists of chasing after Cade. Clay is going to school and building cabinets. As always, life is an adventure but we're having fun along the way!

Salt Lake Day Trip

We woke up Saturday morning and decided to get out of the house and head up to Salt Lake. We just did a little shopping and enjoyed the beauty of Temple Square.

Things are good here. Clay starts school on Monday and is quite excited to pick out his first day of school outfit. We are still waiting to see if BioMedics will open back up. Meanwhile, Clay has been building cabinets for a family friend and has been loving it. Thanks Don and Penny for your generosity. I am grateful for all of the amazing people I am surrounded by. I love meeting people and feeling like a better person because you met them. I hope to be like that some day.

I love my boys.
