You pick the 6th folder and the
6th picture and post it in your blog!
This is a picture of my great nephew Jayden.

Kaden's birthday dinner at Outback Steakhouse

Kaden originally wanted to go to Tucano's for his birthday but they had a 2 hour wait and we were really hungry, so he decided to go to Outback Steakhouse..always a personal favorite of mine. Kyler figured that if Kaden got to go with him for his birthday dinner then he was going to go on Kaden's birthday. So Jo started to take some pictures and Kyler for some reason decided to hide behind me..crazy kid! We always invite our very best friends with us for birthday dinners and they are kind enough to come and enjoy it with us. So Kyler orders a steak and Kaden orders if you can believe it.....a hamburger:) But he said it was wonderful and wasn't really sure why he didn't go for the steak..oh well maybe next time. We all had a great time!

Happy 15th birthday Kaden!

This week we had Kaden's 15th birthday...he is getting so old and is seriously thinking about driving...soon!! It makes me sad (in a way) as a mom to think that after Kaden gets his drivers license I will only have one more child who will be able to get his drivers license. I always get a little stressed and scared when it comes time for them to get behind the wheel. For the most part all of our kids have been pretty good drivers so I can't complain too much, but it is always scary at first. Kaden wanted some batman legos but for some odd reason they didn't sell them in Utah, so he got $ and a gun cleaning kit instead. He was excited and I think it was a little unexpected but he is happy and can't wait to learn how to clean his gun and has a few willing brothers to teach him. So Happy Birthday to you Kaden, we love you!

KANYON LOVES TO PLAY HIDE-N-SEEK

Kanyon loves to come to our house and play hide-n-seek in the blinds and plants. He is so funny he will come over and grab your hand and pull you to where he wants you to go, then he will make you stand in one spot while he goes and hides behind the plants or behind the blinds. He does this all while you are watching him and he thinks he has outsmarted you...so whoever is playing will just play along and in the end we are all enthralled by his squeal of delight that he has been found!

THE FINISHED PRODUCT

Here it is....Kyler's finished quilt that he worked so
hard on. The blue is the top of the quilt and the black
and red is the bottom. He LOVES his new quilt:)
Good job Kyler. We Love you!

Quilting

Kyler watched his sister work on a couple of quilts and he wanted to make his own quilt, he was so excited! We went to the store and he picked out the material, took it up to the lady and told her how much he needed so she could cut the material and then paid for the material all by himself. I got home from work and he was putting the quilt on the quilt frames, and he was doing a pretty good job of it too. I helped him finish and showed him a couple of stitches to try so he could start to tie his quilt. It took him a few days and he had it done. We then made a short trip to Santaquin to Grandma Goodall's, he wanted to see if she would bind it for him. We walked in the kitchen and her and Grandpa were sitting at the table, Kyler took out his quilt and showed it to them while his Dad proceeded to tell them the story of his quilt. I looked at Grandpa and he had tears in his eyes...and it didn't take long for Mom to have the same effect (people crying does that to Mom's you know). So Grandma was excited and said she would be happy to bind it for him. A few days later we went and picked it up. He has been smiles ever since. We are so PROUD of him!
