2009-06-02T21:42:00.000-07:00

Who needs Pixar and high definition movies when you have Tom and Jerry? Kade LOVES watching the old Tom and Jerry cartoons. They really make him laugh!

Happy as can be!

2009-06-02T21:38:00.001-07:00

Give a boy a stick and some mud, and he is as happy as can be!

2009-05-22T22:01:00.000-07:00

Kindsey entered in her first horse show and was very nervous! Although she looks like she is going to throw up, she did great! She came home with a 3rd place ribbon and a 2nd place ribbon!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

2009-05-22T21:13:00.000-07:00

Prom 2009

2009-05-04T08:16:00.000-07:00

On prom day, the boys kidnapped the girls, took them to breakfast, and then went shopping for new outfits. I don't know why we spent so much money on Kindsey's prom dress!

The Scavenger Hunt

2009-05-04T08:08:00.000-07:00

They went on a scavenger hunt at the zoo and through the

neighborhoods

of Logan in their new outfits!

"I can't believe we ate the whole thing!"

2009-05-04T08:04:00.000-07:00

After the scavenger hunt they went out for ice cream! Boy were they feeling sick later!

Easter 2009

2009-05-04T07:25:00.000-07:00

This is a really good movie!

2009-04-26T14:57:00.000-07:00

Kades new favorite movie is

Charlotte's Web

with Dakota Fanning.

2009-04-26T14:55:00.000-07:00

"How come that spider knows how to spell and I don't?"

Just Stretching!!!!

2009-04-26T14:53:00.000-07:00

Lincoln and Katie

2009-04-25T22:04:00.000-07:00

Why does Katie have such a big smile and a twinkle in her eye? I don't know, could it have something to do with Lincoln? What do you think? I think they make a pretty cute couple!

Going to the lake to feed the ducks

2009-04-25T22:01:00.000-07:00

I took Kade to the lake to feed the ducks, but as you can see he was more interested in throwing the sand into the water than feeding the ducks! :)

Helping Gramma!

2009-04-25T21:56:00.000-07:00

Kade decided all on his own to help gramma by getting his stool out and helping with the dishes. Boy was I surprised to go downstairs and find him doing the dishes! (LOL!)

A trip to Lowes!

2009-04-21T07:35:00.000-07:00

We took Kade to Lowes, and of course he had to take his wagon with him!

2009-04-21T07:32:00.000-07:00

"Where is Grandpa?

He's got to be here somewhere!"

2009-04-21T07:31:00.000-07:00

"If I keep looking, I know I will find him!"

I want THIS bathtub!

2009-04-21T07:26:00.000-07:00

While walking around Lowes with Grandpa, Kade decided he wanted THIS bathtub to swim in!

Swimmin' in the bathtub!

2009-04-20T16:14:00.000-07:00

Kade loves to swim, so when it's too cold to go outside and play, gramma fills up the bathtub, adds some bubbles, and lets Kade "Swim" in the tub!

Like grandpa like grandson

2009-04-20T16:10:00.000-07:00

Grandpa Reid can always either be found on the computer or on the phone. So just like grandpa, Kade likes to talk on the phone too!

Like gramma like grandson!

2009-04-20T16:08:00.000-07:00

Just like Gramma Dee, Kade takes the best naps while traveling in the car!

Like father, like son!

2009-04-20T16:05:00.000-07:00

Kade loves to hang with his best pal, his dad!

Like mother, Like son!

2009-04-20T16:03:00.000-07:00

We found that Kade is just like his mom, give him a shopping cart and he is completely content!

New Home Owners!

2009-04-20T15:59:00.000-07:00

Mark and Ashley are now home owners! They bought a VERY CUTE 3 bedroom townhome in Rexburg, Id. They are so happy to have their own home and look forward anyone who would like to go and visit them. They just bought a new bed for guests! So if you are in town, go stay with them they would love to have you!

UGGGGGH!

2009-04-20T15:53:00.000-07:00

This picture was take right after Ashley got her wisdom teeth pulled. She was not a happy camper, and was in a lot of pain. Those of you who know Ashley knows that she has to do everything the hard way. When the dentist got into her gums, he found that her neves were tangled around a tooth, so he had to cut into the nerve. He said in all the years he has been practicing dentistry, he has never seen anything like this before. A couple of days after this Ashley's cheek was black and blue. And of course the recovery period was longer. Typical for Ashley! LOL!

A new lawn mower!

2009-04-03T08:49:00.000-07:00

"I like my new lawn mower!

It blows bubbles!"

A fat lip

2009-04-03T08:44:00.001-07:00

NO GRANDMA DID NOT GIVE KADE THE FAT LIP!!!!

He got the fat lip when sliding down the slide at the Mc Donald's playland.

SNOW, SNOW, AND MORE SNOW!

2009-04-03T08:38:00.000-07:00

Kade LOVES the snow! If there is snow outside, Kade is there!

On this day we went to the park to play even though there was still a lot of snow on the ground.

I LOVE MY GRANDPA!

2009-04-03T08:26:00.001-07:00

Kade loves to pal around with grandpa. We took Kade to the arena to watch Kindsey ride her horse and he never left grandpa's side. We also took him to the mall and while on the motorcycle ride he told grandpa that he wants a REAL motorcycle for his birthday!

I like Red Heads!

2009-04-03T08:20:00.001-07:00

Kade loves to play at the park and make new friends.

Today at the park I discovered that Kade likes Red Heads!

The Pre-Winter Formal Date

2009-02-22T20:26:00.001-08:00

It's a good thing the boys agreed to go to the Winter formal before the pre-date began. The girls didn't look so good! After a big slumber party, the girls kid-knapped their dates and took them to breakfast and then skittle bowling! They had a blast before they all got themselves prettied up for the big night. It was a day and night they will never forget!

2009-02-22T20:23:00.000-08:00

We keep all of our monkeys behind bars!

2009-02-22T19:46:00.000-08:00

Our little monkey loves to sit up here and watch his favorite tv shows. Usually it's Little Einstiens, but I think today it was Madagascar!

3-d family day!

2009-02-11T07:49:00.000-08:00

The family that 3-d's together sticks together!

We had so much fun at Mark and Ashley's watching the 3-d commercials on Superbowl Sunday. (And yes, we had fun watching the game too!)

Shhhhh! Don't tell Mom!

2009-02-11T07:21:00.001-08:00

Too Cute For Words!

2009-02-11T07:06:00.000-08:00

I know that this blogger is turning into "My Life With Kade" but that seems to be our lives these days. But who's complaing? NOT ME!!!!!! We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, being grandparents. Who wouldn't with such a cute grandson as Kade!

Riding my tricycle!

2009-01-30T10:52:00.001-08:00

Kade loves to ride his tricycle around the neighborhood with Grandpa and Grandma

CHEAP LABOR!

2009-01-30T10:42:00.000-08:00

While shoveling the drive-way with Gramma, Kade soon found out that shoveling snow is HARD work!

"HELP!"

2009-01-30T10:41:00.001-08:00

Kade was playing in the snow when Grandma heard this little voice saying, "HELP!"

Christmas at Grandpa Ron and Grandma Karen's House!

2009-01-22T15:26:00.001-08:00

Christmas Eve at Grandpa and Grandma's house is a tradition we have been doing for many many years. This year was no exception. We loved seeing all of our cousins, and missed the ones that were not able to be there.
