Happy Halloween!!

Yeah for Halloween! We all had a great time. Before trick or treating we had pizza with the Aldama family and then all went out together. The girls had a blast and it looks like we will have enough candy to use for stocking stuffers for Christmas!!!

                                                      Kennedy was little red hiding hood.

 

                                                       Kendall was the Queen of Hearts.

                                                              Kaidence was Elmo.

Thanks Mom for helping make the costumes, I know I am biased but I thought they looked pretty cute!!!  Last week we carved pumpkins for Halloween. The girls drew their own faces, and then TJ and I carved them.  Needless to say they are very unique.

The girls all had a blast and the best part is that they are big enough to clean their own pumpkins!!!

                                        I hope everybody had a safe and Happy Halloween!!!

Yeah for Fall!!

Fall is in the air!! What more is fall then football, pumpkin carnivals and carmel apples? I don't know so we did all three :) First thing was the Utah State homecoming game. What a great time we had! We went with Eric and Beka and we were kid free (thanks NeeNee and Papa). We had a good time regardless of the final score.

Next was our fun pumpkin carnival. The kids had a great time. They played lots of games and there favorite part was the train ride. Kaidence pitched the biggest fit when it was time to get out! My battery died on my camera though, curses!! So these are the only pictures I got.

The girls fishing, Kaidence did it also but the camera died just then. UGGGHHHH!
Well the next great thing was carmel apples. The Aldamas came over for a great night. It is amazing how well the kids play together. We are so glad that we have some friends that everyone is excitied to see.

The girls had a great time, needless to say only Kennedy ate it(and only the carmel), but who cares when you are having a great time right!!

What a great start to Fall. We can not wait for more things to come!!!

Grandma Sorensen

We love our Grandma Sorensen, sadly though we do not get to see her as often as we would like. She lives in Preston which is quite the drive for us. She is 91, wow right! She is an amazing person though and my girls love her. So last time we were at the cabin we took a little trip to see her!! One of my biggest regrets in life is that I did not get any pictures of my Grandpa with Kendall so I made sure that did not happen this time. So here is our incredible Grandma....

Kendall loves Grandma so much, she could talk to her all day. Grandma was a kindergarten teacher so she loves little girls Kendalls age!!

It took Kaidence awhile to go and sit on her lap but I'll be darned if I did not get that picture so this is what we got!!

We wanted to get a picture with all the grandkids, these are the best we could get!!

We love you Grandma and can not wait untill we can see you again!!!!

First day of School :)

Yeah, Kendall made it to and from school without any problems. She loves her teacher and all of the kids in her class. She even rode the bus home and was so happy that school had started again, not going to lie, I was rather happy myself!

Her favortie part of the day was snack time, they had animal crakers. TJ also started school today so it was a big day for all of us. Kaidence also started potty training today!! Yeah, so far no accidents.

Kenndy starts school in 1 week and is very excited to go back. I hope they have a great school year!!

KAIDENCE IS 2!!!

Today is Kaidence's birthday, yea!!!! It seems like just yesterday I was trying everything to get the doctor to start me!! Well here we are two years later, with a very active, funny two year old. A few of Kaidence's favorite things at this age:Favorite word: What? (after everything you say)
Favorite food: french fries
Favorite thing to do: Ride in the bike trailer
She loves her shoes, already, she got 3 pairs for her birthday and she had to stop and try each one on before she would open the next present :) She loves Kendall, that was her first word. She is very funny, she laughs at everything and keeps us all laughing as well. She loves to sleep. Usually, 9-9 and then naps are from 2-5 so she is always well rested.
For her birthday we had an owl cake and then went to Artic Circle for lunch. Wacko and Grandma will be up tomorrow so more pics to come!

                                                        Shoes from NeeNee and Papa!!

I could not get her to smile for anything so this is Kaidence yelling WHAT? everytime I told her to say cheese!

I wanted to get a really cute picture of her on her birthday.....

and this is the best I could get, nice right? Well on saturday we are getting pitures taken so keep your fingers crossed they will turn out better then these!!! Happy Birthday baby girl we love you!!!

BANG!

Last weekend was the Tams famiy reunion. We had a blast! We went to TJ parents cabin (thank you Terrell and Marie) and rode 4-wheelers, shot guns, had a donut eating contest, and played games. We had a great time and luckily it did not get to hot. On Friday the guys got the guns out and shot clay pigeons. The kids thought it was loud, but cool and they wanted to shoot. So Wacko and Uncle Casey helped them shoot a 22. They thought it was the coolest thing, They shot a piece of paper with a rabit on it and suprisingly enough they hit it!

                      They all watied so patiently while the guns were loaded.

                                                               And then....

Kaidence very well could not shoot, so she rode the 4- wheeler with her Dad. In this picture she does not look to happy but she really did love every minute on them.

There are many more pictures to come, we had family pictures taken while we were there! So more post to come!!

I'm a big girl now...

Kendall decided it was time to take the training wheels off of her bike. I guess she was right, after 10 minutes of practice one night and a good nights rest she was able to do it all by herself. She has not looked back since and only has ate gravel about 3 times. She is growing up to fast, no training wheels, loosing her third tooth, and getting ready for kindergarten she is just getting so big!!

T.J.'s latest project.

Here is what T.J. has been doing as of late.  He did a fantastic job!

Happy Fouth of July :)

 Yeah for my favortie holiday and a good one it was. We started our long celebration with a trip to the Cabin on Saturday. Everyone was there so it was some good family time with the cousins. Saturday night we had our own fireworks at the Cabin. Luckily no one lost an eye with all the kids trying to wave there sparkerls all at once!!

Kaidecnce enjoyed the fireworks inside. She also enjoyed some pudding.

Then on Monday it was off the parade in Malad. To my suprise it was awsome. The girls got candy so they were very happy.

 Then back to American Falls for swimming at Indian Springs on Tuesday!! (I am tired just writing about all of this!) The girls and Blake went swimming while the men folk were working. The girls loved it and cried when it was time to leave.

They were so tired when we finally made it home it took 2 whole days to catch up on sleep. They were so tired on Tursday they did not even make it to there beds to fall asleep!!

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday!!

Take me out to the ball game..

Kendall's first year of T-ball! The season is one month long. With games every Tuesday and Thursday. This made a long June for a 5 year old. I think over all though she had a good time and improved alot!

This is Kendall with her team. Her good friend Taylor was on the team so it made it bearable. She is the girl to the right of Kendall.

This is Kendall on first base yeah she made it!! Well we are looking forward to next season when Kennedy can play and dad will coach as well!!

Finally...

Yea summer is finally here!! TJ has a break for about 6 weeks and we are living up every moment :) First we started with a trip to Utah for Tanner's baptism. It was really nice and we are so proud of him. The girls had a nice little shopping trip also. So the trip had to be a success, right? It was also my Dads b-day. Happy Birthday Wacko we love you!! Then off to Sun Valley. We had a great time. We were able to upgrade our room to a house!! It was aswome ;)Thanks Terrell and Marie for having us. The girls loved every minute we were there. They have an outside ice rink. We went and watched the ice skaters, the girls were impressed and so was I. They were really good.

Then off the the pool. My children are half fish. They would have swam all day if we would have let them! Thanks Marie for taking them, they loved it.

Kaidence loves the water she was a little dare devil and tried to stick her face in the water!! She did not want to stay in her floatie either.

We had a nice trip and can not wait for the rest of the vactions yet to come!!!

Splish, Splash....

Yes, the first siwm of the summer!! The girls thought this was so great to finally be able to blow up there pool and take a little dip :)

This was really the first time that Kaidence swam and probably remembered it. She thought it was great! She just stood there and laughed.

This made me so excitied for summer! I can not wait untill it is warm and we can do this everyday.
