5 Years!!

Aadventurous, Adrian loves going on adventures, and taking me with him! Instead of just going for a Sunday drive we head up to the hills and explore some back country that we have never seen. Life is always an adventure when it comes to Adrian he sure is not boring! He loves having fun!
Ddedicated, Adrian is a very dedicated person. He is a dedicated church member, a dedicated worker, and a dedicated father and husband. Just last night Adrian played with the kids, helped put them down and started to work from home. Cade has been sick and woke up crying at about 10:00, before I could go in and get Cade, Adrian had already quit working and got Cade and quieted him down. Adrian worked until about 1:15am then came to bed. Around 2am Cal woke up screaming. Once again before i could get up and get cal. Adrian was already in his room and quieting him down. Cade then woke up at 4am, this time I was ready and jumped out of bed quickly to beat Adrian because I knew he hadn't got a lot of sleep and had to go to work early. I was in with Cade and he just would not stop crying, and here comes Adrian to help calm him down. I am so grateful for a dedicated husband and daddy to our boys!
Rough, I say that in a nice way! I love that Adrian is rough and tough! He likes guns and 4 wheeling, sports and boating. I like how he rough houses with the boys!
Intelligent, I tease Adrian about this because I tell him that he knows EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING! But the Truth is, he pretty much does!! He loves to learn knew things. He also knows so much about the doctrine of our church, he is always teaching me knew things!
Always Outgoing, Unlike myself, Adrian can talk to anyone and befriend them just like that! In the hot tub, on the plane at the store, everywhere we go he can chat up a storm with anyone. I am so grateful for this, because of it, we have met all kinds of people and we have friends, because I am the quiet type.
Nice, I know it sounds simple. But Adrian is a genuine nice person. He makes friends with almost everyone, he looks past those quirks that others might see, and sees their true colors. He has so many different types of friends because of this quality and is one of the many things I love about him!

Happy Anniversary Age! Thanks for making me so happy and giving me 2 handsome little boys!
I LOVE YOU!!



Our Honeymoon in San Diego!

Our 2 year anniversary! Adrian has known that I have always wanted a fruit tree so he surprised
me with a lemon tree all planted in our back yard! I had been away for a few days, so I had no idea! He was so cute, he bought some lemons and hung them on the tree for me since it of course had not grown lemons yet. I loved it!!

2009

My sister Tanya and her cute little family came to visit, they were here for New Year's Eve and New Years Day which is also Tanya's B-day. The kids, Tanya and I made these little 2009 masks earlier in the day with crayons and glitter (they say 2009 in case you can't see) anyways, I thought it was a cute idea but as you can see the circles for the eyes didn't match up with the eyes all that well, we thought they were pretty funny! We decided to have a little party and bang some pots and pans around, say "Happy New Year!" and wear the masks before midnight with the kids before they went to bed. So here is Spencer, Cal, and Kendra with their masks! The adults played a game called Ticket to Ride (super fun game!) It was fun hanging out with them as always! We love you Elzingas!!

Christmas

As a child one of my favorite traditions was having Santa come and visit us on Christmas Eve and give us 1 present to open. This is the 1st year that Adrian has been Santa (because of visiting family and somebody else was always Santa). He thought it was pretty fun. Cal was way into Santa this year, it was so cute to see him get so excited whenever we saw Santa (we went a bunch of times to the mall and saw him) Cade kindof liked Santa too. The boys and Santa


Our neighbor Joe and Santa. (Joe had broke his hip earlier and was suppose to fly out to Maryland for the Holidays but instead was in a rehab center so he spent the Holidays with us. It was fun to spend it with him and to share our Holiday traditions with him and to hear of his holiday traditions. We were also able to use his and Willy's Christmas dishes for the 1st time. It was the first thing Joe noticed when he came in were the dishes.


Putting the reindeer food out to help guide the reindeer to our house and have something to eat while Santa is inside. We made this in Joy school.


Cade taken a break from everything to enjoy some milk. Isn't he so cute?!

The boys Christmas morning with their new pj's!

Cade's Birthday Party

I made a post earlier about Cade's 1st birthday, I thought I would add some of the pictures from that day.Opening presents!

Playing with his new bath toys!

Cade's Winnie the Pooh cake!

Trying out the cake!

I think he liked it!

We had a fun day with Cade! I still can't believe he is 1! A few weeks later, his army crawl that we grew to love so much is gone and he is almost running he is so fast at walking! We love him so much!!

Last of Our Trip to Kansas

These are the last photos of our trip to Kansas to visit my Uncle Arnold. My boys sure like playing with their great great uncle, and I think Uncle Arnold liked them also!

Cal playing on one of the tractors, he sure did like being at the farm with all the tractors.

One night we decided to go to the lighted horse parade with my Uncle. They decorate all the horses with lights. This is the second time we have been to it, they do it every Thanksgiving. Cal like the horses as always.

My dad and Uncle Arnold watching from the car with Cade, after a few minutes of being outside we had to join them in the car as well, like I said before it was freezing there!


On our way back to Colorado, we stopped by my Uncle Jerry's and Aunt Laura's house and ate some yummy chile and visited with them for awhile. My Uncle Jerry has a pigeon loft so Cal had to go check out the pigeons! I wish I would have got some pictures with my Aunt and Uncle, I don't know what I was thinking.
We had a great visit and did lots of fun things. Unfortunately, Adrian took the camera back to St. George early, so I don't have any pictures of Colorado, but we had a great time at the Denver Zoo, and playing with Grandpa! We miss everyone we saw and love you all!
