Kaedynn's Dance Recital

Kaedynn had her dance recital last night. She did AWESOME!! Such a big improvement from last years recital. They did 3 songs this year, and she danced to all 3 of them. What a CHAMP! Here are a few pictures of the recital.


Kaedynn got voted to be the crocodile that got to chase captain hook after peter pan defeated him, and saved everyone. She was SO excited to do it. You should have seen the smile on her face as she was running.



This is her after the performance, with all of her "Surprises". She was so happy that we all got to watch her.

Well that sums it up, we had such a great time watching the show, and she had a great time dancing in it. It was a double WIN WIN situation. Thanks to everyone from our family who came. Kaedynn loved having you there. She talked about it all night long :).

2nd Dr's Appointment

Today I had my 2nd Dr's appointment. I am 11.5 weeks along. The nurse found the babies heartbeat today, and it was thumping away :). I went in early because I was having these nasty sharp pains every time I stand up after sitting down. They said that you have a "round ligament" down there, and they think that maybe the baby is just pushing into it, and it is not stretching fast enough when i am standing up. So he told me to "slow it down" and stand up slow, so that it will quit hurting me. My belly is starting to poke out now, and i am feeling more and more pregnant everyday. My levi's are getting tighter and tighter, and i can sense that maternity clothes will soon be needed YUK!

Kaedynn's Preschool Graduation

Last night was Kaedynn's preschool graduation. She kept telling me ALL week that they had been practicing her "graduate". I kept asking her if she meant her "graduation" and she said NO, Graduate.. too funny.

This is her with her "Diploma". Her teachers made a scrapbook of all of their field trips, and a few different projects in these books, all throughout the year. GREAT IDEA! Me and my husband LOVE looking through it at her answers to some of the things in there.. Made us laugh. 1 of them in there said .. I want to be a ........ when i grow up... her answer was a PRINCESS!! Boy are we in for it. haha.



This is he singing her songs that she learned this year. I am really surprised that she didn't get shy, and not do anything. I am so proud of her. Hopefully her dance recital in a few weeks, she will do the same thing; and dance, once she sees the audience.



I can not believe how big my BABY is. It seems like it was just yesterday that she couldn't even walk yet. She will be attending 1 more year of preschool before she makes it to kindergarten. She misses the fall deadline by 21 days to get into Kindergarten. YUK! Oh well, at least she will be at the top of her class when she does start. It will make it feel like there is not "quite" so much of an age gap in between the new baby and her. I am so proud of her! I love her to death!

We let her pick where we went to dinner last night... We ended up at Texas Roadhouse.. Funny. Who would have thought a 4 year old would love the Steakhouse ?

Our Moab Trip

We went to Moab on Thursday night after everyone got off of work. We made it to the top of Spanish Fork canyon, and Matt (my-bro-in-law)'s truck started just pouring out smoke.. so we pulled off at the summit, and made a few calls, and the mechanic that they know told us to unplug something in the engine, and that we would be fine.. and to continue on. So we ventured on, we made it all the way to Moab, and pulled off of the highway, and started down the long dirt road to the White Wash Sand Dunes, just out side of Moab; when the truck started shooting balls of fire out of the tail pipe. We turned it off and let it sit for quite some time, and then found a flat place to pull the trailer to park that night. (This was about 12:00 midnight). The next morning they called the mechanic back, and he said that they should not run it any longer, and they were going to need to get it to the shop. :). Great way to start out I know. Luckily my dad's work is working down there about 15 minutes from where we were, so we borrowed a trailer to get the truck home (so we didnt have to pay a tow truck YUK!) So Matt and Riley towed it home on Friday, and didnt get back until Friday night after dark with another truck to haul the other trailer. So we all just stayed pretty close to camp that day, and hung out at the sand dunes, and went on a few trail rides with all the girls and my dad. After the boys got back, we had the trailer back down to our campsite, and we were good as gold. We did a bunch of trail ride off of the sand dunes on Saturday, and let the kids play on their four-wheelers down in the sand all day. On Sunday we went to a trail called "Potash Road" and rode around there for a while, and then loaded up and went into the heart of Moab and went on the "Fins N' Things" trail. It started getting dark about 3/4 of the way through, so we exited the trail, and got loaded up and had dinner at a pizza place down there. (it was alright.. not great). Then on Monday we packed everything up and came home. Neeless to say, the Dodges got us all home :). Don't buy a ford. I had a great mothers day, and couldnt have asked for anything else. I hope everyone elses was great as well!!

Kaedynn's Photography

So, I was going through some of our pictures from Moab and found all of these ones on the camera card. Kaedynn must have found the camera when i wasn't watching and started taking pictures of herself. LOL She is getting pretty good at aiming and taking a picture of herself. They were too funny to not post.
