Memorial Day and Weekend

Memorial weekend was a lot of fun!!
On Saturday, we met up with Brandon, Michal and Brielle at the park! Kaden loved the swing and the slides!


On Monday, we got together with several families from church at a Mint Springs Park. It is an awesome county park with a beach, swimming, playground and hiking trails!

Kaden wasn't afraid of the water and went right in!



Kaden loved his police car floaty and quickly became popular with other kids!

Family Dinner Conversation

Yesterday's dinner conversation went a little bit like this:

Neil: Yummy! These reuben sandwiches are really good! Funny thing is I don't like sauerkraut and rye bread by themselves but together with the cheese and dressing they are really good!

Rebecca: I agree! They just hit the spot! Thanks for helping me make them! Did you have a good day at work?

Neil: Yeah, but it was really busy. Had to give a lot of flu shots! How was your day? Was Kaden good for you?

Rebecca: Yea! He took really good naps and ate really well. Kaden, what did you do today?

Kaden's First Christmas


This year, Kaden has been a very good boy and was on Santa's nice list of course! He got exactly what he wanted for Christmas...a Lil' Zoomers Spinnin' Sounds Speedway! This little video includes the suspense of waking up Christmas morning and the elation of finding Santa's surprises!


Eric was able to come down to Virginia for a few days and join us in festivities!


Christmas dinner was special with the family together, eating honey-baked ham, and admiring the cool napkin holders Rebecca and Neil made!


Earlier this week, Kaden and Daddy watched the BYU cougars devour the UTEP miners in the New Mexico Bowl!

We can't wait to see what happens in 2011! Happy New Year everybody!
