Scottsdale

It's been a busy few months but we're feeling pretty settled in Scottsdale and I really can't get enough of the sun!

Drew's last day at the GE division in Dallas!

Road trippin to Scottsdale...somebody looks really tired.

It was so great to finally get to our new apartment and sleep on the floor for a few nights...

Luckily, we had two of the coolest gals ever pretty much move us in...

...while we hung out on the couch. Thanks ladies!!


We are so lucky to have some awesome friends that live pretty close...and some cool parks to get together at.

Here are some good times we had to celebrate Kiki's second birthday (he calls himself Kiki and it's kinda stuck). The McDonalds here is killer and is going to be our second home when it gets crazy hot here.


My little stud...I trimmed up his hair and shaved his mustache. He is a little man and yes, he had a mustache.

B-Day night with Uncle Abe (B...as Kade likes to call him).





Kiki got to celebrate his b-day at Chucky Cheese with some fun buddies and pretty nasty pizza.


We love the pool!

Jazz game with Abe and Jess.

Children's Museum where I lost Kaden twice..this is where I found him both times.

Aunt Jill and the fam were vacationing in Scottsdale so it was fun to spend a few days at the pool with them.

Dad's favorite activity is going to the Soda Pop Shop. Here are the boys organizing all the fun new drinks.


Fun Easter Egg hunt with some great peeps we met in the ward!

And Kade seems to always find a new best friend at the park...these two raced down this slide for what seemed like hours.

So far we're having a good time and trying to get outside as much as possible before it gets too hot!

Good-bye Texas

We're off! It's time for the next move and we're headed to Scottdale, AZ next week. We're sad to leave but excited we'll be close to friends and within a days trip to lots of family!
We've been so lucky to have some fun times with helpful visitors so I wanted to post some pictures of their stays here in Texas.


We love the Tenney's...the boys got to go out for some serious guy time while the girls went to a movie and did some shopping! Kade loved playing with his cousins!

And my mom has been so great to come out and stay with us for our last few months here. It's been great for Kade to get to spend a lot of time with her.

Kade asks about "Baby" almost everyday still! He had so much fun with his cousin Knox...

...and mom got to have some good laughs all week with aunt Suz! We scored some sweet Jazz tickets and were pretty much the coolest fans in the crowd. Minus the fact that Suz was puking her guts out towards the end with a wicked case of the flu...now that's a true fan.

Bathtime was the greatest!

Does this make me a bad mom?

And it was so great to have Grammy here! Kade didn't notice dad or I even existed the entire time because he couldn't get enough of her. We wish we lived closer!

We just had Cash out again and Kade wouldn't leave him alone to even get some rest!

We got to have Juan out at the same time and the boys had a great weekend going to the All-Star and Jazz games! We really did live from one visitor to the next here and are so thankful to everyone for coming out to see us!

Turkey Day

I realize I'm a few holidays too late but I wanted to post some pictures from Thanksgiving in St. George. We were able to honor my cute grandparents for all they've done and I appreciate them so much.

I had some great sister time...

...and Kade had some great conversation with the cousins.

I love my little nephew Knox...

..and my little nephew Landon!

We were pretty dang pooped when the time came to head home. I love this picture.

Winter Wonderland in Texas!

It was pretty crazy for Texas...six to eight inches this week! Drew came home early to make sure Kade got to make his first huge crazy snowman...

...with a little help from me and my momz.

We were so happy to have the Penrose's out for the weekend a few weeks ago. They are our buddies from South Bend and Jeff just started a new job in Kansas City.
Kaden loooves little Jacob and they had such a good time playing together...
And eating together! What a fun weekend and thanks guys for coming. Hopefully we'll be hitting up Kansas City soon!

Owl City

My friend Melissa and I had a fun night in Dallas at the Owl City concert. Here we are starting the night of right with a big Diet Coke.
Check out our cool T's.
We were definitely the only moms there but had more fun than anyone!
The House of Blues was such a cool place and I just love a good concert! Oh and cruising around in Melissa's Mercedes was pretty cool too. Thanks Melissa!
And here we are having the fanciest dinner I've ever had at one of Mike's restaurants.
Aren't we precious? The jelly bean in the middle had her beautiful baby a few weeks ago and we're so excited for her and her hubby!
